— Adele Garrison My Marriage Problems The Loophole Madge Thought Showed , Daylight for Her. Grace Draper laughed maliciously ■ 4s she saw the look of recognition I | gave the woman standing at her el how. “Oh , yes," she said airily, ns if I had spoken, "you've met Linda before, i She helped me put one over on you ! that almost brought me what l want ed. She's a good kid, Linda." The woman's eyes looked at her with the unquestioning worship one i sees only in a dog's eyes. That .drink and drugs were fast breaking her was patent. I had seen their traces on my first meeting with her. and she showed their ravages much more plainly now. Something else also was j clear—her absolute dependence on Grace Draper. There would he no use In trying to appeal to Linda’s sym pathy. I had the eerie feeling that she would scalp me without demur, were Grace to ask her to do so. Without raising her veil—I dully wondered if she ever removed it— i Grace Draper walked to the door, | turning with her hand on the knob for a terse mandate: "Wait here, George. Don't go till I come hack. If she tries anything, Lin da, George will gag her again." Madge Surprises George. She went out swiftly. And with the trapped feeling settling pall like upon me. I looked hopelessly at the ohauf feur, and to my astonishment saw In his eyes something which hiy tense imagination interpreted as pity. My earlier vague Impression that he was the least dangerous ot my three rap tors revived, anel 1 sa wclearly that lie was my one hope of sending the scarab to the “big tangerine," as Harry Underwood had directed. I flogged my weary faculties Ho the task of getting Linda out of the room before Grace Draper should return. There was no hint of sympathy in Linda's eyes as she none too gently removed the gag^front my mouth. “You may be a slick one," she said, with a leer, “but don’t try anything on me, for it won't work.” “X don't want to try anything,” I murmured, with an appearance of ex haustion and pain—which was not wholly feigned. "Please let me lie down and have a urink ot water or u.»." "Weill” Linda appeared to be re volving a problem In her mind, "tirade said to give you something to eat. so I guess that will he all right. And you may lie down for all I rare.” "I’ll Do It. I5ut—” She turned to the chauffeur irreso lutely. "I don't know,” she began, while 1 feared they could hear the excited thumping of my heart. "Will you be responsible for her while I'm gone.” "Of course,” George replied. "Fnt chance she’d have of getting out of here even if she did try anything.” he added, and I imagined I detected an elusive pity in his tone “Ail right," Linda returned, "hut 1 guess Pll lock the door just the same while I'm gone.” She chuckled maliciously, aa she went out of the door, and as we heard the key grate in Ihe lock r saw a flush of resentment on the chauffeur's face. Encouraged by it, 1 put out my hands in a despairing gesture of ap peal. "Please," l choked, but at the word he shook his head. "I couldn't get you out of herp. Miss, no matter how much I might want to," he said. "I don't Want to get out of here." I said softly, but swiftly. "I only want you to give something i have here to the big tangerine, without any one else seeing you." Ho gave an astonished start. "What do you know about the big tangerine?" he asked. "Never mind that now." 1 said. I haven’t time. But will you give him this?" I jerked the scarab from my dress, and held it out to him. He looked at it doubtfully for a few seconds, then snatched it from me. and wrapping It in a handker chief. thrust it into his pocket. "I’ll do it," he said, "when i have the chance. But don't count on his getting it right way. Miss. The big tangerine isn’t here now." Parents’ Problems Are boys' toys bad" for girls?

Farmer Brown's Boy kept Jumper the Hare shut In the sugar house only long enough to he sure that Jumper was no longer afraid of him. Then Farmer Brown's Boy opened the door and left it open. Jumper hopped out at once. You see he couldn't bear the shuit-in feeling. He was no longer afraid of Farmer Brown's Boy. and knew that no harm would eoine to him in that sugar "I guess I'll stay around here a while.” said he tu himself. house. But just the same he hail the feeling of being a prisoner. S«> ns soon as that dour was open Jumper hoppei out. My, how good it did seem to Know that he could go where he |ileased! He drew a long breath and then started off into tlie Green Forest. But he didn't hurry. No. sir. he didn't hurry. Once he would have gone as fast as his legs would lake Jjim be cause he would have been afraid of Farmer Brown's Boy. But now he was no longer afraid. He and Farm er Brown's Boy were friends. Jumper didn’t go far. ”1 guess I'll stHy around here a while.” said lie to himself. '1 tuess that plate Is the sifest place Iri the Green Forest for me just now. And I won't get fo far from it hut that I can run there tn time of danger." Of course by that place lie meant the augur house. Xow when you stop to think of It Jumper had changed, tie was the same timid fellow as al ways. for that was his nature. He was just as ready as ever to run at the first bint of danger. But he had learned to trust Farmer Brown's Boy. He had learned to think of him ns a friend, and to feel sure that where he was wns safest. That was a very great change in Jumper the Hare. So Jumper stayed around near that 1 sugar house, and often he came out where Farmer Brown's Boy could see him. He even came 'up to the door and looked in once or twice. Farmer j Brown's Boy brought tidbits from home that he thought Juniper would like, and left these where Jumper j could find them. Jumper did find ; them, and lie did like them. More • vcr. he found that there was less j danger for him near that sugar , house, for those enemies he most , feared seldom came very, near It i while Farmer Brown or Farmer ‘ Brown's Boy were there. Meanwhile Jumper was changing in other ways. Brown hairs were j creeping into that coat of Ms. and | by the next time lie met his cousin ; Peter Rabbit he was brown and white instead of all white. The" browner] his coat grew, the safer lie felt and the mbre confidence he had. Every ! ciny it Was easier to hide from ene- ' mies. And so the joy of spring be gan to creep Into Juniper's heart] and lie began to rejoice as all the other little people were rejoicing. So Jumper began to listen to the glgui sounds alt through the Green Forest, and to rejoice in them. Kvery day Drummer the Woodpeeker ham niered on a dead limb just f,,r the joy that was in him. Every day j Chatterer the Red Squirrel chir r r 1 ed just for the sake of hearing his own voice. Tommy Tit the Chickadee went about calling. "Phoebe. Phoebe. Phoebe, Phoebe." iri the softest of soft whistles. There was joy every where, and it grew great in the heart of.Jumper the Hare. So Jumper the Hare changed. iCopyright, It23,1 The next story: "Johnny Chuck's Temper Is Had. ’ Don't forget to turn the rugs every six months for even wear. Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Taking a Chance. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been married twice, although 1 am only 33. At 16 I was married to a man of 33. He was worldly and rich. 1 divorced him. and two years after my divorce I married again. My second husband whs a poor man 1 worked and helped him. but when he got a little monpy he became cruel. After standing three years of his cruelties I divorced him. And now that 1 am free, into my life Comes a man who seems so different. He wants me to marry him at once. Rut all my friends warn rue. They say this man will turn out no better than the others Would you advise me to take chance? EONEEV HEART. Don't take any more chances. Test yourself and your love n« well as the character of the man. Thf> right sort of woman calls out 'lie right sort of love. But tf you yield to your own emotions and your craving for love and devotion, you are likely to fool yourself again with counterfeit emo tions.
