"ReyUtion of a Wife"
The Om Sulfation Bm Dean
Had to Make.

courteoua tt men, hut his wrath had
been stirred o inighiily by the ac

inn. that he bad word," ttead
ily and methodically to himiclf lor
a whole minute after we had made
our dramatic ruh from the inn
? round. It wat at artistic a per
vrmance at I ever had heard, and
tven my Puritan training wat not
proof sifaimt it. Despite the (treat
ot the moment. 1 could not cavil ai
lieu Dean for the appreciative
chuckling laugh which tame to her
lips ti Mr. Cosgrove pued for
breath on particularly pictureue
imprecation. . .
"Oh. Pa Confirovel" he Burgled,
"If I could only cuss like that I'd
Le-"
"Vba--whatl" the big man stam
mered, "say I, J clean lorgot there
were ladici present. I lure beg your
pardon, Mrs, Graham-and-Miss
Dean."
' Who Smith Is.
''I need no apology, Mr. Cos
grove.'1 ' I made the words espe
cially emphatic, because 1 could not
turn my head to utter them. I was
obeying Dicky's instructions to
"step on the gas," and the machine
needed every atom of my attention.
"Do we turn at that next cornerf"
"So, keep on about a quprter of a
mile beyond the corner, lou can
see Jake Kerne' light when you get
a few yards past the corner."
"Who i theall gent back there?"
rawled Uicky. "ine one who ap-
......I K. ... r....t It ..a?"
ine mugest no-rooa sun in an
this section," I'a Cosgrove returned
emphatically. "His nam! the
name he gives up here-is Smith,
but I'll bet a cooky there was a
ky' or a 'chdt' tacked on before he
changed , it, lie came up here about
191.2, bought up nearly a whole
mountain, built, him. a great, big
bouse, and put' up a lot of other
buildings. lie put barbed wire,
miles of it, all around his boundaries,
and had a regular mystery place up
there. Of course, there was a lot
'of talk during the war, bound to be,
but either he -was 0. K. or had an
awful pull: anyway, he was never
investigated, and since the war
stopped he's got a lot of the men
around here on his pay roll in some
capacity or other, pays big wages,
and they don't dare say their souls
are their own.
"Take that little restaurant man
back there,' Kronish, as nice and in
offensive a little chap as ever lived.
But Smith owns his place, and lets
him have it at low rent the fellow's
a good landlord, and liberal to all
his help and, of course, Kronish
slides- down the pole whenever
Smith rings the fire alarm. But
Smith ' don't own me, thank the
IfOrd, although he . could make it
mast awful unpleasant for us if he
keeps tip this pose of thinking we
had anything- to do with that young
fjjUow, getting hurt. But I'm not
going'to cross-that bridge until we
dome f it. There's Kerns' light
now, Mrs; Grham. Now every
body say your prayers that the doc's
there and can leave."
"Do Stop Fooline!"
Bess Dean twisted herself in her
seat as I stopped the car in front of
the Kerns place, and Mr. Cosgrove
leaped q the- ground, running up
the path like a boy. ' '
"Is he speaking the truth?" she
demanded of Dicky in low, worried
tones. "Will that tall man mako
trouble for ns, try to connect us
with that trooper's injuries?"
"I'm not g mind r reader, little
one," Dicky rejoined airily, "so I
cannot tell you what is passing
through the massive, bean of the
tall, mysterious stranger at the inn.
But this I know, and know full well,
that I do not like that particular Dr,
Fell one little bit, and I wouldn't
mind a chance of slapping his wrist
gently and with discretion, of
course, but still slapping it.
"You know," Dicky went on, "ol$
Dad Cosgrove is a pretty wise gink,
If he's sized this Smith lad up as a
trouble-maker he's probably right.
But even ? you are put in jail to
night, sweet one, do not weep. I
shall bribe the jailer tq give me the
next cell, and provide me with un
limited quantities of chocolate al
monds your favorite confection,
you know and a zither. The al
monds I will slip through the bars
to you, and the bars I will play 0!)
the zither, tra-la-la."
That Dicky was up to some mis
chief I knew by this farrago of non
sense and a certain inflection in his
voice which only appears there
when his gayety has something a
bit malicious m it.
Oh, do "stop fooling and talk
sense a minuter Bess uean jairiy
snapped the words at him, and I
made the mental comment that the
man who married her might find an
able vixen concealed behind her ap
parently cool insouciant exterior.
"What particular brand would
you like?" Dicky inquired with ex
aggerated deference. "Analytical,
experimental, subjective, metaphysi
cal just indicate the tap you wish.".
"I only wish the answer to this
question." her voice had a vicious
edge. "This physician, of course,
has a machine here. I can see it
Over there. Why cannot Pa Cos
grove go back with him? Then we
could go back to the house where
we belong. This fishing trip is up
to the Cosgroves, anyway 1"
Parents' Problems
How can" children be helped to be
fentie when provoked?
-This is a lesson that ' often long
iu the learning. Not all grown-ups
have mastered it perfectly. Teach
the children the proverb. "A soft
answer turneth away wrath, but
grievous words stir up anger." And
teach them to think twice before
speaking; the time-honored custom
of "counting ten" when annoyed is
very helpful. -
