Adele Garrisen “My Husband’. Love” Why Madge’s Heart Warmed Anew to Mother Graham. I accepted Katherine's offer with a grateful little acknowledgment of her thoughtfulness. But I mounted the stairs with slow reluctance, trying to decide just how much I should tell my mother-in-law about the bundle which she had taken from Jim, and which I knew contained the overcoat Harry Underwood had placed under Jim when he had tied the man. Although my Instincts and my fear of her strictures cried out against such a course, my common sense told me that the only thing to do was to reveal to Mother Graham at once the Identity of the overcoat's owner. Sooner or later her keen old wits and her persistence would worm ths truth out of Jim, and then she would have a justifiable cause of anger against me. But it was with much the feeling of a small boy being taken to the woodshed for chastisement that I entered the half open door, of my mother-in-law's room to find ner bend ing over the opened parcel she* had taken from Jim, and exploring with skilful fingers the texture of the coat. "There's some mystery here, Mar garet,” she announced, turning to me, her eyes shining with the love of the melodramatic which is so strong with in her. "This overcoat is a costly thing. It never was worn by a common criminal." "It was not," I returned with pur poseful emphasis. My mother-in-law glanced at me. "Why! What do you know?” she asked. I told her in as dramatic a fashion as I could manage. I didn't keep any thing back. Even the detail of the scarab pin, which Mr. Underwood had pinned inside Jim's coat with instruc tions to give it to me, I £old her rare Burgess-Nash Company. •everybody^ store’* Our Store Will Close Wednesday at* 4 P.

What 22 years have taught us Pierce*Arrow has been building automobiles for twenty-two.years; has seen every development in ‘ motor car practice; has fully investigated and tested every type of engine from one to twelve cylinders. These experiments have always been made with Pierce-Arrow’s money; never with the public’s. Today the six-cylinder 1s the standard, accepted engineering practice. Less than six means far less flex ibility; more means lowered fue^ efficiency and greater complication without proportionate increase in flexibility or power. Pierce-Arrow pioneered the “six" nearly twenty years ago and concentrated upon its development. Two almost revolutionary features—dual valves and dual ignition—are the result. What do these features mean?—what do they add? By actual test, just this: power far beyond ths rating of the engine—fifty per cent greater hill climb* ing ability—twenty per cent saving in gasoline— unparalleled flexibility—quicker acceleration. * • • We invite you to ride in or drive the modern Pierce-Arrow car with this Dual-Valve, Dual-Igni tion Engine.

And It was with the distinct 'feeling that I was going to be “hung for a sheep,” indeed, that I paused at last and waited for the deluge of criticism which I was sure would be my portion. But my mother-in-law Is much like her son—sure to do the unexpected thing—and I saw nothing save excite ment and blissful enjoyment of the situation in her eyes when I had finished. “Harry Underwood” she repeated. “What do you know about that?” I made no answer. I saw that she required none, and I was only too glad to let her have the monopoly of the conversation. "Of course, he’s in cahoots with the bootleggers, that’s easy to be seen,” She went on musingly, “but why he should go out of his way to let you know he was there—depend upon It. Margaret, you're not ‘through with this yet.” “That’s what 1 am afraid,” I said. “What do you think I had better do about it?” , Now, to ask Mother Graham's art vice is the surest way to disarm her. She beamed benevolently at mo. then wrinkled up her forehead in thought. i“J shouldn't do anything,” she said sensibly at last. When she Is not in gry, and can put aside her prejudices, Mother Graham has an exceedingly sane outlook upon life’s problems which has often helped me. "He prob ably only wanted to be a bit theatri cal—he always did act like a donkey when you were around—and you may not hear anything from him again. But see to it that you don't let any body else know about It. Do you think Jim's mouth is effectually clos ed?" “Unless Katie worms the truth out of him,” I returned, and told her of my little •maid’s shrewd surmise. "I'll settle her,” my mother-in-law said grimly. "I^eave her to me." and queerly enough, I felt glad, indeed, to shift the responsibility for Katie's possible garrulousness to my mother in-law's capable shoulders. "What are you ^olng in do'with those people across the road?" Moth er Graham turned the conversational switch In the bewildering fashion characteristic of her. "The federal officers will decide,” I said. "Until then the woman will re main at homo under the guard of one of the troopers, while her husband stays In jail. From what 1 learned in the village, obtain influential court trymen of theirs are already busy. It is a first offense, you know, and I imagine bail will be fixed up, or some thing.” "Of course,” my mother in-law re turned witheringly. "Raws don't mean anything nowadays. But, at that, there's no sense ip jailing poor folks like those when some big fellows gef off scotfree. Well, you've come through it pretty well, Margaret, We'll go down and eat our dinner now, and then bring Richard Second up to bed.” She swept majestically down the stairs, evidently in high good humor with herself and tbe rest of the world. And I, trailing in her wake, felt my heart warm toward the mixture of fairness and unreasonableness, kind ness and eaptiousness which is my mother-in-law. r PAUL J. WURN : Succeeding the Late B. F.
