Holding a Husband
AVI CarrUaa's New Pka.a of
What Crica Draper Told Madf and
What Madge Queued.
Over tny baby's pitiful little play.
Miff. cU.ped close to my lips, I
aiared mildly at Mrs. Titer, trying
dumbly to comprehend what she was
laying to me. Then, at the terrible
import of her words struck me, I
viiught her arm fiercely.
"You found this in the liaudi of
- vfie ' baby of the man across the
road? I shrilled. "Then he must
have carried olf Junior. Oh-h!"
I could not repren the shriek
which tore through the house and
brought a swift ttaccato of feminine
fret down the stairs. The next sec
ond Kdith Fairfax and Grace Draper
burst into the sitting room, with
consternation written on their tense,
iinxious face.
"What is it?" they exclaimed sim
ultaneously. I gestured feebly to
.Mrs. Ticer.
"Tell them.". I choked, then
strangely out of . my subconscious
H.lf came the admonition to watch
, Grace Draper's face, and for a fleet
ing instant, as Mrs. Ticer repeated
I'cr 'statement, 1 fancied 1 saw a
look of panic leap into her eyes.
Hut the next instant she had spoken
calmly, with a note of actual derision
in her voice.
, "What nonsense! Junior lost that
two days before he strayed away.
1 remember, because he was asking
for it He had walked down this
road with his father. No doubt the
other child found it, and, of course,
picked it up."
. "You " I began, and if iny voice
could have expressed my emotion
he would have dropped dead at its
sound. The conviction had swept
over me that at last I was on the
track of Junior's fate, and that the
girl before me was involved in it,
l or only too distinctly I remember
ed that when my little lad, after
bringing me his drawing, had started
back to the corncrib studio for his
"Danzie'a picter," there had peeped,
as always, above the pocket of his
i : . . I - . . t- - 1 ... r
iiiuc rumpcr, mc laminar outlines Ot
his beloved celluloid "bumble fish."
"You Are Sure?"
"XTo matter what developments,
stick outwardly to your theory that
me child wandered away and
lost."
As clearly as if Hugh Grantland
had spoken the words close- by, this
fragment of the note he had sent me
sounded in my ears. I saw clearly
that a premature explosion of the aw-
tul wrath which was consuming me
might spoil all his plans for finding
out the truth, so I nerved myself to
play the part of Tinsuspecting ac
quiescence in the accepted theory of
Junior's disappearance until. Hugh
urantiand gave me permission to do
otherwise.
"You you are sure?" I stammer
ed, as if pleading for her assurance.,
"Of course." she returned. "But
Madge, you're fearfully -upset. Don't
you think you ft better lie down? '
."Just come right in my room, Mis'
Graham" Mrs: Ticer promptly inter
posed, "and I'll make- you a cup of
. tea.
i .1 followed her passively, furtively
watching Grace Draper - and. Edith
Tairfax as I did so. '.There was a.
ftfothole lit the door! I Shut behind
tne.'. and , ' I . unblushingly looked
through it, as soon as I closed the
door. - I ',
,. I saw- Edith Fairfax shrug her
shoulders, touch her forehead signi
ficantly, and heard her say contempt
uously: . , '
4 ;"Don't mind her, Gracie. Come
back upstairs and lie down, and I'll
rub your head.' Her screeching like
that hasn't done it, any good, you
know." !
; The utter heatrlessness of her
words as applied to me brought no
resentment to my mind, only a wild,
fantastic surmise. Could it be pos
sible that' Edith Fairfax was also in
volved in this horrible tangle of
which I was beninninar to clutch only
the most slender thread? Mrs. Ticer
stopped all speculation ' by seizing
my wrist and drawing me forward.
I "Those girls know something, Mis'
Graham," she whispered. "At least,
the Draper one does. I can t tell you
how I know, but I just do, someway.
Oh, I'd like to tear her eyes out!
But I haven t time even to talk about
it now. Don't you see that we've
got to get this man across the road
put away now, before he runs off??
He isn't home just now, but when I
snatched that little celluloid mud
turtle from that baby, an older child
United at me so frightened, and the
ran to its mother. And she's hitching
up the horse this minute so as to get
-word to him to run, I'll bet a cookie.
Don't you see, if he's arrested, ma
be he'll talk." - V -
-Please Wait Here."
"He won't get away," I said grim
ly, galvanized into action. "But
1 please remember not even to hint to
a living 'being that we want to ar
rest him until I give you permission.
And pretend to those women in there
that you believe Miss Draper's asser
tion about the toy."
; "Leave it to me." she replied fer
svently and I dashed out of doors and
- jumped into my car beside Tom
Chester who had waited there
;turned the car into the road, and out
-of sight of Grace Draper's upper
windows before I . spoke.
- -Then rapidly I narrated Mrs. Tic
er's discovery and Grace Draper's
falsehood.
' He got out of the car as I finished
speaking. --' - - - ' .
, "Please wait here," he said. "And
if the woman comes past pretend to
be fixing your car, and pay no at
tention to her. I'll be back in a few
minute;. And let me tell you. I think
v at last we're 01. the righ; trail."

Eycbright.
That lowly plant, the eyebright,
which learned people call the
euphraiia, was formerly very popu
lar In this country at a cure foi
weak eyes, styes, etc., and in the
rural districts it will be found Hill
to occupy a place of connideration
in folk-medicine. In Europe It i a
popular remedy for alt dincatsi oi
the eye, even as it it here,
Its reputation is an inheritance
from past ages and originated in the
"doctrine of signatures" that form
of primitive, x sympathetic magit
which, at man advanced in civil
ization, became a medical theory
the theory that every plant had a
"signature' which indicated for
what medical purpose it was intend
ed to be used.
The eyebright hat in its corolla a
black, pupil like spot suggesting the
pupil of the eye. Therefore it is
good for diseases of the rye. In
olden timet the eyebright was tup
posed not only to be "good for scr
eyes" but to confer, also, upon both
the mental and the physical eye
greatly increased powert of percep
tion. Milton represents the eyes of
Adam as being "purged with
euphrasy" for he had much to sec,'
and Spencer speakt of the plant at
giving dim eyet power to "wandci
leagues around," while Thompson
asks Urania to purge away with eye
bright "the mists which dim the
mirror of the mind."

Ii Sing Sing So Named?
Like many other penal institutions
throughout America and Europe, the
(anions prisun (if Sing Sing o-vr it
name, through a peculiar nmdiiica.
Hon, to the name of the town in
wlirh it is situated. The original
iiiine of this tnvrn was "Ossining,
a title of Indian derivation which the
white settlers appropriated and cor
rupted into "Sing Sing," which even
tually became the official name oi
the town itself.
When the prison wat erected it,
too, was christened Sing Sing, but,
as the grim structure becamt more
and more widely known, the inhab
itants of the town, which wa by no
meant to famous, did not relish tin
odious association. Some yeas ago,
thircfoK. it wa decreed that the
name be changed back to the original
Jm'ian spelling of "Ossiniiu;," by
which it is known today, but the pris

pronunciation oi the early settlers

Parents' Problems
How can a girl of 14 who 'it in
clined to be distrustful of the m
terity of person about her best be
hclptd to have more faith in human
nature?
A suspicious girl is probably self
conscious and introspective; pi-rhain
through being over-concirutiously
watched, or talked about, or "nag
ged." If so, nothing could be more
wholesome than for her to be let
alone, in the companionship of
younger, simpler children, or of tome
artless grown-up who would supply
her with an objective interest or an
absorbing hobby, rorgetting her
self, she should forget to be suspicious.
