Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” -f “ JTartge and Mrs. Tlcer Decided I'pon a Subterfuge. I had intended to make my own ^ - voiea fully as remote and Impersonal as that of Dr. Pettit, but the remem brance of the episode so humiliating to him for which he no doubt—and with Justice—blamed me, sent a ner vous tremolo into the tones which uttered the commonplace: "This is Mrs. Graham. Dr. PBttlt. My sister-in-law was killed today In an automobile accident, and ww do not dare to break the news to my mother-in-law without a physician's aid. How soon can you come to the farm?” * There was a long pause, while I stood wondering agitatedly whether or not his next words would be a re fusal to attend us. Then his voice came again, as carefully stilted as ever, and with a subtle, slurring ac cent which Infuriated me. "Is there no physician you can get?" "None." I snapped before I took time to think. "They are all out." Then I stood aghast. Our need for a physician was Imperative. Supposfc my reply had angered him to the point of sacrificing Ills professional punctiliousness to his wrath! I held my breath until he spoke again. "In that case, I have no choice," he said Icily. "I rr.sist answer your call. I shall be there Inside of 10 minutes." "Thank you.” I made the response perfunctorily, but he did not hear It. The receiver had slammed anw-n upon his last word, and I. remember Ing the demon eprod at which he al ways drove, put my own receiver up and turned toward the door. “Dr. Pettit say* he will be out in 10 minutes,” I said hastily to Mrs. Ticer, whose kindly tace showed her shocked sympathy toward the news THE NEBBS * ' JUST A GOOD HUSBAND _ Directed for The Omaha Bee by Sol He»» ^UNDERSTAND THAT SOU WENT OUT *\ NEW SEARS EVE AFTER ALL — SHE U snapped the LEASH ON SOU* AND | LED SOU OUT — SOURE "THE r—1 FELLOW THAT WAS GO^j 0 TO SPEND A au\ET* \ Z_ [j EVENING AT HOME) Hi KnOa) A VELLOvsl TrtW AAV*) VDO THAf night ano he touo me -wat; vr vou EVJER Got BACK \N THAT PLACE »6AjN v/00'O HAVE TO GET A i — WE £A\0 THAT WOO gAJTTEP N ON ^ EUEftVBOPV AND THE ONLtf rr*r REASON SOMEONE 0\0NT ■ SHOOT WOO IS BECAUSE,NO™ !

"Don't you want me to go with you?" she asked, capably, throwing a big, old cloak around her ae ehe spoke. "Yes, indeed,” I answered grate fully, and then with a sudden thought that the sight of Dr. Pettit coming Into the house with no rea son for his presence would surely my mother-in-law, I hurriedly jt. .ed a subterfuge. ' I am going to pretend to be ill," I told Mrs. Ticer. "Not terrifyingly, but a—say—a dizzy spell—and, remem lier, you thought 'you'd coine with me. And you telephoned Dr. Pettit to come out.” "Goodl” she said. “I'll call Jerry to drive us back, for they'll think it queer if you can drive." Jerry Ticer, lumbering, raw-boned, as boyishly exuberant as ever, an swered his mother's call. I had no confidence at all in Jerry's discretion, and with an acute consciousness of the ridiculous figure 1 must present to anyone like Mrs. Ticer, acquainted with my ruse, 1 rested my head against the chair back, and covered my eyes with my hand. "What's the matter?" Jerry asked excitedly. "Mis' Graham eieft?" "Yes." his mother returned calmly. "A dizzy spell. Get her car around as near the door as you can, and then we'll help her in. You'll have to drive her home." "Gee!" Into the utterance of the word went all the glad pride which is Jerry's at any opportunity to drive a motor car. And in another two minutes we were out of the yard and on the road to the farm. "I'm feeling better." I announced for Jerry's benefit as we turned into ! i he gateway. "Don't help me out, Mrs. Ticer. Jt will alarm Mother Gra ham. I'll tell her myself as soon as we get in.” * But my mother-in-law's keen, old eyes had seen us driving up. and she met us at the door, her eyes filled with alarmed concern. "Have you had an accident?" she demanded. "You haven’t had time to go to the express station.” “Not an accident,” Mrs. Ticer ex plained as I sank into the nearest chair, "but she felt a dizzy spell com ing on. and came into our house. I think she's ail right now. but I was so alarmed about her at first that I telephoned Dr. Pettit to come out." "I don't think I need him now,” I said faintly, knowing that the speech would be the surest way of securing Mother Graham's insistence upon his coming. "Of course you need him," she de clared. "Y'ou're as white as a sheet. I'll have Katie get your bed ready. Harriet, you see to her." But Harriet waited until her mother hod left the room before crossing swiftly to me and putting a com piling hand upon my shoulder. "Tell me the truth this Instant," she said imperatively.
