My Marriage Problems
Adele Garrison's New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife”
What Madge Saw on the Kong De
serted Road.
My small son drew back from my
embrace, and looked at me with the
wide-eyed adorable gaze which is his
when he wishes to establish some
fact firmly in his mind.
“Mama turn hark today?” he de
manded.
“Perhaps.” I answered, with a hope
lessly perjured feeling, ‘ if I cfen find
something pre-tty for you.”
' “Don't want sninefing pretty. Want
my mama.” he returned with an ob
stinacy which thrilled me, and made
iny flight doubly difficult. Every sec
ond was precious, however, if I meant
to get away, and I sent an appealing
galnce at Katie across this curly
head.
She seized the cue promptly.
“O Ba-bee’.” she shrilled in appar
ent excitement. Killian declares Katie
will call Junior "Ba-bee” on his wed
ding day. “I see Jeem going by
sehicken house. I bet he going feed
dose leetle schickens. KePs run
qveeek.”
Even a mother's going away or re
turn was not proof against that lure.
Junior joyously allowed himself to lie
lifted out of the car to the ground,
and the only glance I permitted my
suddenly wet eyes showed him trot
ting across the pasture with his hand
tuckfd confidingly In Katie's.
“Mrs. Durkec, Marvin.”
With fingers that trembled, but did
not imped" my movements, I took off
the old sweater in which I had driven
out of the farm gate, and quickly
donned my hat, coat and heavy driv
ing coat. Then I spnt my car racing
down the road, finding the first re
lief from the tension of the last hour
in the swift rush of cold air against
my face, and the sens.t'tlon of flying
through space which fast motoring
always gives me.
There had been no opportunity for
me to make any plan as to my future
movements, when Dicky’s outrageous
taunts concerning Tom Chester had
driven me, raging, into flight. Tn the
onvelope addressed to Lillian which I
had left with Katie I had scrawled
but a few words.
' Must get away. Don't waste
time looking for me. Will get in
touch with you as soon as possible,
and will be careful. MADGE.”
In Katie's envelope there was but
a single line of three words:
' Mrs. Durkee, Marvin."
For my little friend and former
neighbor was the only person I could
call to mind whom T could trust with
the secret of my address. Garrulous,
like a charming child in many ways,
yet she is the most loyal person in
the world, and a secret entrusted to
her is safer than the grave.
Madge Is Terrified.
I did not intend to stay with Mrs.
Durkee longer than the night, which
would be almost upon me at the end
of my present ride. And if Edith
Fairfax had been a member of her
household I eouM not have availed
myself even of that shelter.
nut when I had unexpectedly met
Mrs. Durkee in Hambel's grill room,
she had said that F.dltU expected to
go to Aunt Dora Paige's southern
i home ‘‘very soon," and later had de
! fined that time as the next day.
Therefore, T felt safe in throwing my
i self upon the hospitality of my lit
- tie friend, and T meant to send her
I the address bw. which she could reach
! me. ns soon as I knew it myself.
What I should do when on the
next morning T should leave her
friendly roof, what course 1 should
j pursue in carrying out my angry de
termination to shut out Dicky front
my future life, T had no more idea
than had the rabbit which scurried
across the road just missing destruc
tion.
Kesolutclv I tried to put all such
considerations aside until my jour
ney's end, knowing that my first job
was to drive my car ns fust fl« was
consistent with safety, and I tried to
think of some topic, absorbing enough
to banish the other, and yet not so
obsessing as to take my mind from
the wheel.
The thought of Mrs. Durkee sup
plied It. With a quick awakening of
interest, I remembered the allusions
she had made to Pess Dean, and the
unhappiness she was causing gentle
Leila Durkee. I was glad that my
own enrergeney would give me an
evening in tile same house with Al
fred and Leila Durkee.
With instincts sharpened by the
memory of the catty things my for
mer colleague in the Rayvicw High
school had tried to do to me, l felt
;hat I might perhaps find some way
to thwart Rt-ss Dean's petty mean
ness.
1 was aroused to casual Interest by
the approach of a oar far down the
road. It. was the first car X had seen
—I had remarked to myself how de
serted the road wns. Rut as It ram?
closer toward me, I gripped my wheel
in terror.
Surely I was not mistaken—it was
the gray limousine which had trailed
my taxi on Fifth avenue.

Problems That Perplex

School and I.ove.
Dear Miss lj’airfax: I am t girl of
IS. will graduate this June.'I have
been taking the normal .course, but
can not pass the civic exam. I have
taken it twice. Could you advise me
some other profession to take up?
What can young girls do to make a
living? r am a fairly good looking
girl, blonde. I have a boy friend who
I think much of, but lie can never
go to places because his father won't
let him. Would you lirenk the friend
ship or not? BbOA'DY.
I see your interests are a mixture
uf ki-I.. and love. If you would
limit gome of the latter for a time,
perhaps you may pass your civics
examinations There aren't, many at
tractive lines of work open to a girl
who wofi't apply herself enough to
make her grades at school. I am as
suming you do not study, fur I imag
inc you are smart enough to learn if
you would try.
Would you l>e interested ill nurs
ing? There are good positions open
to stenographers. Perhaps you are
quick, accurate, a good student of
Kngllsh and a good speller. You
might have a future by taking up
stenographic work, leading to a good
confidential secretaryship. Book
keeping is another lino open to wo
men, though this is confining and ex
actings. Perhaps salesmanship along
some line such as insurance would in
terest you more. Taking your work
is half the battle. Go Into something
you think you will enjoy.
1 wouldn't break a friendship just
because I couldn’t go with a boy.
Can't you still be friends? It isn’t
necessary to stop speaking to a per
son just because you can't sec him as
often as you like.
Peggy: 'My dear child, your dreams
are running away with you. This wild
infatuation you describe could not as
sume such proportions if you exer
cised a little self-control over your
thoughts. Why don’t you girls who
want to attract men do something
besides wish for them? l.earti to
swim, to drive, to play the piano, read
goes] books and be aide to talk about
tin m. hatever you do, do thoroughly
and well. Accomplish definite results
in what you undertake. Now a boy
may not like you just because you
play a good game of tennis, but your
enthusiasm, your high efficiency in
something, will command his respect,
and the love that is based on respect
is the most desirable and lasting kind.
Ilools: I think you are pretty sen
sible on your own account. You can
probably make up your mind about
what is best to do without my ad
vice. I think you’d better'not try to
force a decision. 1 f you don't like
either of the boys well enough to be
sure of it, the matter can't be very
serious.

t'HAPTBK XXIX.
A flood Have Spoiled.
The slow raoe across the bark pas
ture had to be begun oil over again.
At the word, "fin!” Mlstah Mule had
forgotten that it wasn’t a fast race.
And he had plunged forward liefore
he knew what he was doing.
After the second start ho fell in
behind the plodding oxen, Bright and
Broad. But he soon found that he
couldn't walk as slowly as they could.
I- II ■! -1

’A bear!" Mistah Mule bray®A
'Run! Run!*
First his nose nudged Bright. Then
his ii'^se nudged Broad.
"Stop that!" they both cried.
" ’Souse rue."' said Mistah Mule.
| "Move a little spryer—can't you?"
"Ha!" they chuckled. "We knew
we could beat you at this game."
They crowded against each other, so
| that Mistah Mule couldn't wedge him
self between them. And there was
nothing he could do except thrust his
head and neck alongside one of the
pair. He chose Bright's side. ,
Mistah Mule hadn't taken six steps
-I
in this position when he gave a
loud snort. And then he flashed past
Bright and Broad so quickly that they
looked as if they were moving back
ward.
•*A bear!' Mistah Mule brayed.
‘‘Run! Hun!*
“Ho! Ho! Ho!” laughed Bright and
Broad. “See him run! This Is just a
trick. Ho knows h«» can’t win th»*
slow race fairly, so he's trying to get
iih to run ahead of him.” They nod
ded wisely as they trudged towards
tho big pine tree, which marked the
end of the race.
And then—all at once they sniffed,
and asked each other a question: "Do [
you notice a queer scint? And like
one ox they both looked around.
•‘A hear! ’ they both roared. And
breaking into a lumbering gallop they (
hurried after Mistah Mule, who was
already nearing the fence on the oth- j
er side of the pasture.
Quite breathless they reached the j
fence at last. But they were too
heavy and clumsy to jump over it. as
Mistah Mule had already done. In
stead. they crashed their huge bodies
against the fence and sent the rails
flying. Through the great gap that
they had made they dashed side by
aide. And they never stopped run*
nlng until they came to the barn at
the foot of the lane.
Mistah Mule whs waiting for them
there.
"Somebody done win a race!1’ he j
brayed loudly.
Broad and Bright shot a glance of
surprise at each other.
"Hut you ran much faster than
we did!’’ they cried. "You can't have
woft."
"I isn't said 1 winrfed it." Mistah
Mule retorted.
"Well, wo certainly didn't/' that
honest pair insisted "We didn't even
finish the rate. We didn't go near
the pine tree."
Mistah Mule laughed boisterously.
"Mistah Bear, he done win,’’ said
Mistah Mule.” "I looks back jus' once.
An’ there he am, right under the
big pine tree his ow nself.”

1 had been sick for
seven years, but
not so’bad until

would rather have died than live. I
couldn't do my work without help, and
the doctors told mo that an operation
was all there was left-1 would riot con
sent to that, so my husband brought,
me a hot lie of Lydia L l’inkham's
Vegetable Compound and begged me
to take it. 1 have taken fourteen bot
tles of it and l feel ten years younger.
Life is full of hope. I do all mv house
work and had a large garden this
