"REVELATIONS OF A WIFE"
(Ceprnsit J!1)
Tht Description Harry Underwood
uave ol Him Mil.
One crito sentence of Harry Un
derwood's criticism of Dicky stuck
in my consciousness like a barb all
through the rest ot my drive with
him to ureenport by way ot the shel
ter Island ferrv. Unconsciously. 'I
think, it tinged all the ret of the
story I told him, while he drove
Dicky s car easily with but one hand
resting negligently upon the wheel.
apparently giving all his attention to
me, and none to the car. Yet I felt
unaccountably secure that any emer
gency would find him ready and
capable of meeting it.
"The Dicky-bird should know, bet
ter than anybody else in the world,
what she is capable ot, he had said,
referring to Grace Draper, "and yet
he opened the cage and let her in."
Without knowing it. he had put
into words vague resentment which
I had. almost subconsciously, cher
ished against Dick ever since we had
suffered the terrible consequences of
permitting Grace Draper to come
back into our family life. He should
have protected mt against my own
compassion and against that more
indefinable thing which had lain at
the root of my decision to admit her
i fear that he might think me un
generous.
There is nothing so dangerous, so
corroding to one's spirit as self-pity.
By the time I had reached the end of
Harry "Underwogd's questioning con
cerning Grace Draper I had worked
my imagination to the point of con
sidering myself a much abused and
misunderstood creature.
But the man beside me unconsci
ously furnished me with a very effec
tive lancet for my swollen self-com-
passion when he said at the end ot
his long questioning:
.You ooor little white mouse 1 xou
didn't have a chance with that tiger
cat. Wish I had the Dicky-bird here!
I'd wring his eraceful neck for letting
you in for a time like that. I'll just
give him tair warning it he can t
take better care of you than that I'll
come back and run off with you."
If he had meant to give me a re
action against himself and arouse my
championship of Dicky he could not
have chosen better words. The idea
of reckless, unscrupulous, utterly ir
responsible Harry Underwood cher
shing and protecting; any woman or
remaining faithful to her through the
humdrum of life was so absurd as to
be laughable. ,
Madge Keeps Silent.
And while I had just been criticis
ing Dicky myself, mentally, yet this
second voicing of my own thoughts
upon Mr. Underwood's part made me
inconsistently enough tunousiy
angry. Or I mercilessly probed the
secret recesses of my spirit was not
my anger partly due to my outraged
vanity, stung by the words "white
mouse," and "tiger cat," which he had
used in comparing 'me to Grace Draper?
He, no doubt, meant to be chival
rous and complimentary, but he was
a generation too late in gauging my
reaction to his words.. J should like
to see the modern' woman who would

Bear Miss Fairfax: As I think
you give very good advice, . I am

went to another city for a visit with
my parents and there I. met a young
man from whom I have been re
ceiving letters ever since. As one
of my letters I wrote to him had
perfume on it, a friend -of his told
him that it means" love, and he
asked me if I thought it could be
possible. As I have known him but
six months, and my parents never
met him, I told him I could not
answer that as yet. As yet I never
received an answer from him. Now,
Miss Fairfax, do you think he got
angry at what I wrote him? Do
you not agree with me that I was
right?
Also, Miss Fairfax, is it a arlrl's
place to send a picture to a man if
he asks her for It first?
Thanking you very much In ad
vance, I remain, ; H. A. F.
I do agree with you as to your
answer, iand can see no reason for.
him to be anry. Perhaps his "in
terest in- you wasn't very deep and
he was just amusing himself at your
expense. I wouldn't worry about
him. If a man asks for a picture, a
gin can do Just as she likes. -As a
rule, she does not give It to him
unless she is very fond of him.
It's All Over.
Dear Hiss Fairfax: I have been
going with a young man for about
two years, during which time I gave
mm my picture and he gave me sev
eral pieces of Jewelry. Now we quit.
apa i would luce my picture back.
Should I wrke and ask him for It,
and also if he wants his . jewelry
back? Flease answer in The Omaha
wee at some future date.
IOWX BLUE EYES.
I would return tha lewelrv. if it
is of any great value, without asking
him.' And it would be perfectly cor
rect to drOD him a. civil not a mavinr
that you would like to have him re
turn tne picture, as it can no longer
uave any value to him. -

1 did not answer him, for I feared
I would betray the childish rancor
I telt. But I think he guessed my
resentment,' without the reason for
it, for he, too. fell silent, and it was
not until the ferry at the end of pic
turesque Miciter island came . into
view that he spoke again.
"The Lord alone knows whether
or not I m ever going to see you
again, Lady Fair," he said, and. there
was an unsteadiness in his voice un-
mistakahle in its sincerity of emo
tion. 'But l want you to get me

father may or may not give you the
dope on me, so I'm going to hand
you a little on my own account."

"Nobody knows better than I do
just how many kinds of yellow mon

cause of that connection with the
slimiest gang of cutthroats and

I CUFFY BEAR
STARIIU 5MTI 8AILET
An Open Air Prisoner.
Cuffy Bear's father had an odd
habit for a grown-up person. He
liked to walk along fallen trees.
When he saw a tree tipped over on
the ground, or lodged, slanting
against a neighboring tree, Mr. Bear
was almost sure to stop and enjoy
his quaint pastime.
It happened that he and Cuffy
were strolling about the mountain
one day when Mr. Bear spied a tall
lei
H

pine that .the wind had blown over
in such a way that its top rested
against a cliff.
,"Ha!" Mr. Bear exclaimed. "I
must walk up that old pine. But
don't you follow me; for you might
get into trouble."
So Cuffy had to stay below and
with longing eyes watch his father
hitch himself higher and higher.
Cuffy liked to climb too.
When Mr. Bear had reached the
face of the cliff he paused and tooked
down at something on a shelf of
rock a little wav below him. In an
other moment Cuffy saw him drop
out of the tree and land upon all
fours on the jutting shelf.
"What have you found?" Cuffy
called.
Mr. Rear neeoed over the edge ot
the shelf at his son and answered in
a pleasant tone, "Birds eggs!"
"I'm coming up, tool uiny criea.
"No! No! You'd cet into trouble.
Stav riffht where you are. I'll be
down soon," Mr. Bear told him.
So Cuffy waited because he naa
to. But his father was a long time
returning. At last Cutty canea to
him again: "Why dont you come
down?"
"I can't! Mr. Bear replied. And
this time his .voice didn't sound
pleasant at all. "Help! Help!'
Cuffv ' Bear couldn't guess what
had happened. He didn't dare climb
the tree to find out, because his
father had ordered him not to. He
knewof but one thing to do; and
that he did promptly. He ran homo
to his mother.

him. They could hear Mr. Bear's
frantic cries for help a long way off.
Mrs. Bear ran un the tree and
quicklv learned what was the mat
ter. The treetop was beyond her
husband's reach. There he was ou
the narrow shelf of rock, a prisoner.
"Don't worry. Ephraiinl We'll
bring food for you," 'she promised.
"And there's water trickling down
the cliff. You can lap it up when
you're thirsty!"
"Well.' said Mr. Bear, "you'd
better bring me something to eat at
once. I've called so long for help
that I'm weak as a cub.
Mrs. Bear and Cutty set to work
and brought Mr. Bear branches with
berries on them. They caught mice
and frogs for him. And Cuffy found
a mll turtle. His father was very
fond of turtles.
All these good things thev carried
up the pine tree ladder and ropped
down to hungry Mr. Bear, who ate
everything and demanded more.
They simply couldn't satisfy him.
And he was very sad.
During tht next few days Mr.
Bear's spirits rose. The better he
(elt the bigger his appetite grew.
Mrs. Bear noticed that. She taw,
beidet. that he no longer made any
rlfort to reach the tree and escape
from his open-air prison. To tell
the truth, Mr. Bear was content to
stay where he was. At last he had
stumbled upon an easy wav to get
food without working for it.
Mrs. Bear was growing very tired
of carrying all of Mr. Bear's meals
up a tree. If he had been ul the
wouldn have been glad to take care
of him. If he had been small eater
she might not have objected so
much to feeding him even when he
was well. But he was a very hearty
eater and Mrs. Bear had enough
to do just to look eftr" the dm ml
her children. Really it wasn't strange
that she began to tire of this new
duty. .
At last came a day when Cuffy was
about to scramble up the tree with
half a raspberry bush, when his
mother stopped him.
"I'll take that food up." she said.
She did. But she didn't drop it
into Mr. Bear's outstAtched paws.
Ah, no! Instead, she placed it
among the branches of the pine, say
ing, "There, Ephraim! There's your
luncheon." Then she scrambled
down again.
Well, Mr. Bear howled pitifully.
He cried that his family wanted to
tsrve him. He besought Cully to
climb the tree and toss the berries to
him. But Mrs. Bear gave a grim
took and shook her head.
Meanwhile Mr. Bear eyed the fruit
hungrily. It was tempting so tempt
ing that he stood on his hind feet and
tried to knock it down. He even
jumped into the air and struck at it
with his forepaws. But he couldn't
dislodge it; for Mrs. Bear had taken
pains to tangle the raspberry bushes
among the pine boughs.
At last Mr. Bear gave a grunt and
a mighty spring, both at the same
time. He caught the tree top and
pulled himself up.
"I thought that would fetch him."
Mrs. Bear muttered. And Cuffy
cried, "Hurrah! l'a has eicsped."
As for Mr. Bear, he said never a
word, but clung amid the pine houghs
and munched the berries. When be
had finished his luncheon he looked
down at the rocky shelf, having) a
notion to return there. And he started
guiltily when Mrs. Bear spoke to him
sharply.
"Come down now, Ephraim I" she
ordered. And Mr. Bear came.
