    My Marriage Problems
Adele Garrison's New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife”
The Seemingly Simple Advice Lillian
Gave Madge.
T tried to conceal the shiver which
Lillian's words sent over me. But
the sinister possibilities for my father
and the rest of us at w hich she had
hinted were too much for me, and it
teas almost half a minute before I
tvas able to answer her.
“You mean—torture?” X whispered.
She nodded grimly.
“I mean Just exactly that. No. I’m
not crazy, although 10 years ago if
1 had hinted at anything so melodra
matic you would have been justified
In calling me so. But remember civ
ilization has slipped hack a thousand
years In some respects in the last 10,
and there's nothing too outrageous
o% fantastic to be possible to a cer
tain type of criminal mind—which
isn't always confined to the ranks of
the criminals,” she finished, with a
csmioal little laugh.
"Don’t look so white," she went on.
‘ Remember, tiiis isn’t the probability,
it's only the'remote possibility. It's
what will happen if they get hold of
any of us, hut they have to catch us
before they cook us. and we're fully
forewarned, very respectably fore
armed—and—I’m conceited enough to
think that brain for brain we out
point them. Tho chances are 100 to 1
against their getting their hands on
any one of us, but the one chance is
what we must guard against. So take
no risks, remember, after I am gone.
I'll keep an eye on you while ,1'm
here,”
"I will do whatever you wish—you
know that—” I faltered.
"1 know it.” She put her hand on
my shoulder, with a comforting com
radely touch. "Have you seen Tom
Chester yet?”
“A Case of Puppy Love.”
The query was an abrupt one, and
1 guessed that she had put it more
to divert my mind from the sinister
picture she had just been drawing
than because she eared for any an
swer to it.
“No. I haven't." I replied. "I asked
father about him. ami he said Mr.
Chester had been very restless today.
I thought it would lie better to wait.”
Lillian looked thoughtful.
"It's too late now. of course," she
said. "But you'd better plan to go in
to see him the first thing tomorrow
morning. The poor lad’s just sick
enough to have worried a lot about
you. Tour father, with the early Vie
j toriart attitude which you invariably
lind in a former man of the world,
l appears to take the ground that no
I body of the male persuasion save hlm
I self and Dieky has any right to ex
j press any concern over you. But I
j have' a sneaking pity for the poor
lad. He has as bad a case of puppy
love as I ever saw in a youth of his
years and discretion.
Madge Is III.
‘‘While, of course, he’ll never annoy
( you—his is the worsliip-of-a star attl
j tude,” she went on, “yet you’ll hav«
! to squelch him eventually. But just
[ now he’s sick and so upset and rest
I less that his convalescence is being
' seriously delayed. He needs a glimpse
i of his divinity, and a few kind yet
I judicious words. So let me know
when you’re ready, and I'll call on
him with you.”
“Whenever you think best,” I found
myself saying, mechanically, although
my mental reaction to her astonish
ing words was anything hut stereo
typed.
I had seen—being a woman with
average perceptions—that young Tom
Chester was more than ordinarily in
terested in me, -but to have Lillian
put it so baldly into words startled
me. I had sense enough to perceive,
however, that, she regarded his emo
tions in much the same light as she
would an attack of measles otj chicken
pox for Marlon. She would humor
the child while she was 111 and re
serve all necessary discipline until
she was well again.
“All right. I'll he in after break
fast." she said cheerily. “Now*, get
to bed. You need a good night's sleep
about as badly as any one I know.
Good night.”
"Good night. I'll he all righf in
the morning," I called after her, hut
I boasted without result.
T’ne next morning I could not lift j
my head from my pillow, because of |
an attack of my old enemy, neuralgic j
headache. Lillian and Katie cared for j
me assiduously all day, but it was j
an unusually severe attack and I
could scarcely hid my father goodby
when he left for Washington—I knew
as the result of Lillian’s talk with
him. I was not myself again until
the morning of the very day upon
which Dicky was to arrive, and it was
witli the feeling getting through with
a duty expected of me that I went 1
with Lillian to my father’s room. '
where Tom Chester was convalescing.

SUM gmjjjiLEr
CHAPTER XXIII.
A Plan Cues Wrong.
Turkey Proudfoot was terrihly an
gry vrlii n Mistah Mule laughed at
him.
"Why did you do that," he demand
ed.
" 'Cause you thinks you'* the boss
’round here," said Mistah Mule. "But
y ou has to do jus’ as Farmer Green
tells you."
"I don't believe you've ever «een
b" fight," Turkey Proudfoot retort
ed. "I can whip all the other gob
blers on the farm."
"Maybe! Maybe!" Mistah Mule re
plied. "But kin you whip Farmer
Green?"
"Can you?" Turkey Proudfoot
asked.
"I kin kirk him plumb across the
barn floor." Mistah Mule chuckled.
"Kin you do that?"
Turkey Proudfoot knew that lie
couldn't. But he wouldn't actually
say so.
"I could make Farmer Green run."
he remarked, "if only he would fight
fairly. But he won't. He fights with a
stick.”
“Sho!" Mistah Mule exclaimed. “Do
he"" And then Mistah Mule hung his
head in thought. Soon lie raised it
again, however. And to Turkey Proud
foot he began to say something in
a low voice. Whatever it was, Turkey
Proudfoot did not seem to think well
of It. He kept gobbling protests and
crying. "No! No! No!"
But in the end Mistah Mule won
him over. For Turkey Proudfoot
agreed to do what Mistah Mule sug
gested.
"Good!" Mistah jdule brayed. "Do
jus' as I tells you and you'll make
him run sure."
Then Turkey Proudfoot gave him
a run and a leap and a flap of his
wings, all of which carried him to the
top of the fence and thence into the
farmyard. He began to strut bark and
forth between the house and the
barns, keeping a sharp eye upon the
woodshed door.
In a little while Farmer Green ap
peared In the doorway, carrying a
pall, and started to walk to the pig
pens.
Turkey Proudfoot gave a loud gob
bio and rushed at him. There was no
stick anywhere in sight which Farm
er Green could snatch up. Turkey
Froudfoot had made sure of that.
“Go 'way, you old gobbler'.’’ Farm
er Green shouted.
But Turkey Froudfoot came on and
on.
Farmer Green was carrying some
thing ia his pail. It was sour milk
for the pigs And when Turkey Proud
foot was almost upon him. Farmer
Green showered the sour milk all over
him.
The proud ruler of the farmyard
turned tail and ran. Me looked like
a white ghost as he scuttled, dripping,
around the corner of the barn where
nobody could see him.
iLii i
*1 reckon that ola Turkey dona brag hie
laet braj to m»," h* chuckled.
Ml»tnh Mule had watched every
thing h* lie Mood with hi* hend over
the fence, And again he bur*t into '
hir f i<-n< i I.-11 laughter.
"I reckon that Ola Turkey done
brig hie lart hrafc to me,” he chuck
led.
I.ati r, Turkey Proudfoot warned all
the flock to have nothing to do with
Miatah Mule.
‘Tice a trouble maker.” declared
Turkey Proudfoot.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Do vmt think
that a young lady should take money
from a young man?
1 have been going with a young
man. He Is about IS and I am IS: I
will soon be 19. Do you think that I
should go with an older man than I.
or the name age? I unit him a few
days ago. He seems to love me very
much and J love him. Do you think
that I should h<~ his pardon and tell
him that I still love him? After I
told him that 1 had quit h» railed
mo up again and asked if i really had
quit. He asked me if 1 didn't love
him any more.
There Is another young man that
wants to go with nte. The two boys
are good friends. Is it right for a
girl to kiss her fellow? Do you think
that a girl should fall her fellow up
or any other hoy up? is It rigid for
a girl to meet boys any plare when
ho says that he wants to si »■ her and
cannot see her at Ini home?
Please send me an answer soon. 1
fcrn, VI.
There Is much you do not. know
A "lady,” In the fine old sense of the.
word, would not arrept money from a
man. People are trained to the Idea
of paying for what they get. A girl
who accepts money from a man puts
herself under unpleasant obligation to
him.
Common sense usually Is more
Important thsn sgs in choosing
friends. Why did you quit your boy
friend if h» loves you and you love
him? Your letter Indicates very poor
reasoning power on your part. I
would Kay It is not right for a go I to
kiss her fellow if she changes fellows
as frequently as I suspect you do.
It Is h»*tfer to let the man call you
up. I think It is all right for u girl
to meet a man at some specified place
provided the place is a respectable
one nnd there Is a reason why It is
more convenient f<*r him to meet bar
than to call for litr. Tf*thej'e Is no
good reason, ho should call for hei
st her home.
