"1 ■» A Wife's Confessional Adrle Garrison's New Phase of \ REVELATIONS OF A WIFE s ’* (Copyright, 1924.) V - What the Footprints on the Hoof Disclosed to Madge. So Marlon had been right, after all. In thinking she had seen a fare looking through my bedroom window. 1 made a mental apology to the child as by the aid of my flashlight, 1 saw the print of feet on the ver , anda roof outside the window. It was ? all the more fervent an acknowledge rnent because I knew that I must I never frighten her by telling her that she had been correct In her surmise. Conjecture, fantastic and terrffy r Ing, began to have its way with me. Marlon had referred to the lurking 1 figure as “he.” and the word brought a slender reassurance. Curiously enough I did feel fear at the thought of an ordinary burglarious marauder. \ ; The presence above all others which I dreaded was that of a wo man, the woman who had trailed her Minister shadow across my life since the first year of my marrage. If Grace Draper had escaped the espion age of Harry Underwood who had * told me he would make It impossible for her to come near me. . I caught my breath In hysterical re T. lief as I saw that the footprints “ While not large for a man, were still not made by Grace Draper's slender, high-arched feet. I raised the sash still further, and clambered out upon the roof, scru tinizing the footprints carefully. At first I thought they were made by bare feet, then 1 realized that there were no separate toe prints such ss i naked feet would have left. On the other hand, shoes of the ordinary j) kind never had those flat, shapeless « Impressions. Bedroom slippers—wood en ones, moccasins, sandals—some one of the three varieties of foot gear had been worn by the myster ions marauder. Denning over the flat, roof, I swept . my flashlight from side to side, al i though I knew It to be a futile ges * Jure. Then a window at the other j Tend of the veranda, Dicky's, shot ^suddenly upward, and my husband J leaned out, changing a gruff "Wha's " there?” to an astonished: ' “Madge! What in blazes are you do Ing on that roof? Stand perfectly still r until I come and get you. Why. you blasted little idiot, you're likely to fall and break your neck!” Why Madge Hesitated. Why is it, T wonder, that roughness J. If accompanied by alarm for her safe ty, always thrills a woman when , evinced by the man she loves. X ador * <s1 the raucousness of Dicky's voice, b)it I answered him lightly, as I mov " ed toward the window. ’, “Don't be silly. The roof Isn’t a bit slippery and I’m never dizzy.” He had sprang from the window as I spoke, and now came swiftly toward me, grasping my arm firmly 3* he reached me. "That may all be, but just take It ‘ from me,” he quoted grimly, "you’re going to go through this window faster than you came out. AVhat’s the big Mea anyway, of this Diogenes , lantern business. Were you expect i-, Ing to find an honest man on the veranda roof?” "So, a dishonest one.” The retort rose to my lips, hut I closed them upon It, with a curious reluctance to let Dicky know the real reason for Jny ridiculous excursion. • I told myself that It was because 1 did not wish to have him go rush tng around the grounds and tnto pos s sible danger, as he certainly would do if I showed him the footprints I had S"on, and over which we were even I row walking. But there was suine ; thing deep In my consciousness which was stronger even than mv four for him, something that bade me wait and Investigate by myself the odd thing which had happened. "I’ll THUe Mother In." ', “I thought the cat was on the J fnof and couldn't get down,” I pre J Varlcated smoothly, as Dicky assisted • me through the window. He looked ► down at me oddly. "Tell another one. old dear," he >; advised carelessly. "You need prac tice. You've too much Puritan In your makeup to reel ’em off In the style affected by your noble young husband. But keep your little a,.,-ret—” this with a magnanimous wave of the hand. "Far be it from me to pry when you get your Sherlock fnickers on. How about the mend Ing?" ." “Part of the things are done." I fin id. "The rest I'll finish tonight Here* you can pa< k all of these, an.1 I II bring the rest to you a* fast as 1 finish them,” lie looked down at the idle ol clothing I put In his arms with an • bashed, rueful expression. "By Jove, I did hand you an arm fid, didn't 1?” he queried. "Prr really ashamed of myself about thb • fterrioon. I'll toil you w'hnt. I ' lake mother In. myself.

Dear Miss Allen: I was very much interested a day or two since In a letter signed “Troubled Heart." One has to he “born again" to en joy the house of the Lord. A man is a practical creature: he looks about him and sees the present tumult in tlie rhurches. the dissen sion, style, expense, conduct of Chijls lian people, greed, long creeds, long wlndtng load to reach the throne of grace. He tries to “figure it out" in his own mind: tty his helpless rea soning therefore falls. No one thinks to tell him the way of salvation Is so simple. All Christ asked was to "Relieve, and be bap tized with water and the Holy Spirit" —that's all. So I beseech this dear sister to pray for that husband and live a sweet. Christian life and not nag or find fault. In due time he, too, will be winding bis way with her and that grown son to the lord's house. A SISTLR.

Eighteen: You are pretty brave to want to help make the living with young twins to take care of. My ad vice to you is against working out side. It certainly must take all your strength and time to look after your babies and home, and If your hna hand can barely make enough to pro tect you nnd keep you fed and cloth ed, 1 think you are worth more In the home than In helping outside. Vou can at least conserve your health until your children are older, when, perhaps, you would not sacrifice them by working outside. It would be dif ficult anyway to find something to do in your own home unless tt were sewing or washing. 1 have a very good recipe for niur malade which I would send you if you would W'rile me for It. Al a cost of less than $1 you could make eev erul dollars a week this way and without a great deal of hard labor. Money made pt home comes slowly. remember, and is usually at a lower rate of pay than work done outside. Community Playhouse Backers Meet.
