A Wife's/! Confession^ OIclQle &forriso|§ The Trick Which I.ee Chow riays 1'pon Madge. "My sainted aunt:” Lillian ex claimed ns we looked into the valise 1 had opened and saw the piles of paper money packed tightly into it. "Here's the missing money. Now 1 wonder whether Hugh gave it to her, or whether she stole it. Xo. I cannot believe that last. I.ee Chow says that she was devoted to him. But either way, it clears Hugh's name, though, poor fellow, that won’t do hint any gfiod now, I fear. 1 felt that a whirling dervish had nothing on my brain for dizzy rev olutions. Missing money, Hugh Grantland, the amnesia-stricken waif who was “devoted to him”—what did It all mean? And through it all one phrase beat insistently, “clear Hugh’s name." Surely there could be nothing In the life -of Hugh Grant land, honorable and chivalrous gen t leman, which needed clearing Up. 'I lie very words upon any one s lips were an insult to him. Involuntarily I threw my head back and faced Lil lian with indignation more or less conscious, in my eyes. "< lenr Hughs name,” 1 repeated. “What—?” Lillian's interruption was crisp, dls ► approving. "I'm not speaking of Ids character, my dear,” she said, “but of Ids reputation, and that will be pretty badly smirched it his friends can’t discover the truth of the mys-1 tery surrounding hint before many more months roll around.” She gave me a searching glance, then pushed the valise aside with a contemptous foot. “Tills Can Wait.” “This can wait,” site said. “There's nothing 1 can do about it for a while, anyway, and It's only fair that you should know what we re facing in this thing. But I suppose we'd better lock the door, with thousands of dollars lying loose like this. She rose and locked the door of her room, and then, coming back to /-—-\ COLOR CUT-OliTS Mary and Her Lamb -- -- A l.iimli in-School.

Today there a Mary's school coat and hat. • * • Mary was afraid she was going to t>e late for school, so she hurried along, never once looking behind her. How surprised she would have been had she turned around, for there was her lamb trotting along right in back of her. Into the schoolhouse ran Mary. It was almost time for the last bell to ring. She hurried lnlo the cloakroom and took off her coat. Right after her went the lamb, but still she didn't t see him. (Color Mary's school coat brown with light tan collar 'and cuffs.

T»2a.> me, sat down in an arm chair facing me, and clasped her hands behind her head. "Xow," she said, “we'll come clean. Will you start first, or shall I?" I had hard work to keep my face and eyes from betraying my wonder as to whether this were a random thrust, or if Lillian's keen percep tions guessed that I was keeping something hack from her concerning Hugh Grantland. “Suppose you do,” I said hastily. “I told you absolutely everything I knew about Lcp Chow, yesterday, from the time of his appearance on the beach until his espionage upon me at the hotel. The rest of the story you know' as well as I.” “I’m not talking about Lee Chow,” she said with eyes fixed upon me. I’m only wondering—” She stopped short and shifted her eyes from my face to a spot, several feet nho\ e my head. That she meant to give me a chance to think over her intimation and respond to it, 1 felt sure. Although mv reason, and my desire to help Hugh Grantland told me that I ought to show her the wild strange letter which T had re ceived front the army officer a few days before Lee Chow' appeared at the beach, yet something stronger than reason rebelled against letting any other eyes than mine see that impassioned betrayal of a strong man’s despairing soul. He had writ ten it for my eyes alone, and even though I was almost certain that he wag not himself, mentally, when he penned It, yet I knew' that I could not share my knowledge of it with anyone, unless I was certain that the sharing might help sate his life, his reason or—the spotless reputa tion, which Lillian intimated was in danger. T was not certain upon that point yet, and T equivocated abominably. “There is nothing more I can tell,” I «ald stubbornly. “‘Can’ or ‘will?'” Lillian countered mischievously, then suddenly drop ped her bantering tone for an ordi nary one. “I Ileg Your Pardon!” “I beg your pardon. Madge,” she said, hut there was no contrition in her tone. “I'm going beyond my rights, T know. But at a different angle than the way they strike you now.” • She paused , looked dow'n at the rug and frowned as If she saw something displeasing in its pa'tern. Then she drew a long breath. “There's no use heating around the hush,” she said. “You already know, from what Lee Chow has told you, that Hugh Grantland left his home suddenly and secretly, leaving no trace of where he had gone, no In structions, save those tentative ones to Lee Chow to go to you. If he heard nothing from his master for a certain time. But what you do not know is that at the same time there also disappeared from another town near by a girl, who formerly had been em ployed as his stenographer. And there is every reason to believe, that with them went a largp sum in se purities and money, lgdonglng to a minor, w hose guardian Hugh was.” (Copyright. 1S2r>t. Students Honor Team.

If you have never known the de light of studying the little songsters and learning their ways, you have missed one of the keenest pleasures of outdoors. It is truly amazing, even to the city dweller, how many varie ties of the feathered folk a idl'd foun tain will lure in the course of a sum mer. Besides, a good-looking bird bath is a distinct addition of beauty to the garden. The gray cement is most ef fective against the background of garden flowers and green shrubbery, and it forms a central point of inter est around which the garden may be laid out.

"It Is the family* which drifts around the country in an automobile part of the year,’’ he said. “The deterioration of the American home has perhaps gone’ farther than we realize.

It tigs been said that it is nil right for a young man to have more than one sweetheart, provided lie keeps them separated. It Is advice thin young man needs. Dear Jliss Allen: I am a young man of US and have not given mar riage a serious thought until lately. For some time I have been going with two young ladies, liking one ns well as the otliet*. One girl is a blonde and the other a brunette'. They have been acquainted for years, but see little of each other and could not he classed as friends. The blonde always ad mired the brunette ami said flattering things about her whePI her name was mentioned. I thought the brunette was jealous because when she spoke of the blonde she never had anything nice to say about her. Last Saturday I called to see the brunette. When she came into the room I could see something wms wrong. She told me she and the blonde had attended the same party and the blonde had made remarks that she wouldn't stand for. She said it was evident I made a confidant of the blonde and told her all that hap pened between us. That Is not so, hut evldencp seemed against me when she told some of the stabbing remarks that were made about our fondness for each other. 1 have been told not to return. I want to go hack, and now I can see that there Is only one girl in the world for me and that Is the brunette. She Is less clever and shows her like* and dislikes very plainly, but she Is true and honor able. What can I do to prove that I have not talked over our times to gether? Do you think she will ever want me back? HARRY. If you write the girl a letter telling her that you love her and want to tnarry her, and If you ask her to be lieve you when you say you do not carry tales, I think she will forgive you. Then you follow up your letter with a personal call. Stay away from the blonde, because if the brunette hears that you have been to see her she will believe more than ever that you are not true to her. Worried tiirl: Surely you do not expect me to advise you to continue your relations with the young man under such circumstances! His prom ises cannot be depended upon. You neeerl the advice of both a mother and a physician. Luncheon and Bridge, Mrs. H. B. Bergqulst will be host ess at luncheon and bridge at her home Thursday. T Omaha De Molay Dance.
