Adele Garrison
“My Husband’s Love”
The Ultimatum Dicky Gave Madge.
Dicky was the first to speak after
the slam of the outside apartment
door had signalled the departure of
our queer visitors.
"Well, this settles it!" he said with
a tone of finality in his tone. "We re
going to move, pronto."
"Why!" I inquired, banally enough,
for I knew very well that the mid
night visit of our bizarre neighbors
had been the last fatal item in his
mounting indictment of the place.
"Why?" ho exploded angrily, "ff
you can’t sec why, you're more stub
bornly set on this blasted hole than a
goat is on his favorite tomato can.
It would be bad enough, if we had it
all by ourselves, but to have that
yawping, bleating moron and that rat
eyed crook living in the rear apart
ment thrust into our faces all the
time—no, thank you, not for mine!
You may yearn to be ‘shown the
ropes’ of Eighth avenue delicatessen
shops by Petey Marks’ wife, but the
monopoly Is yours: take my share
without a struggle.”
"You know I only said that so she
wouldn't feel offended.’’ I defended
myself, a bit mendaciously I am
afraid, for there Is an odd gypsy-Uks
strain in me which delights In study
ing the bizaree in both places and
people, and I could see how an ex
cursion in the company of the flam
boyant Mr:}, Marks might afford both
interest and amusement. "I really
didn’t mean to go."
"No-o-o?” Dicky drawled, with an
inflection and glance that made me
flush resentfully.
"Where Do We Go From Here?”
"Well, whether you did or didn't,
makes no matter by me"—he spread
his hands in an exaggerated gesture.
"For me this place is no bizness.’t
My curiosity had been excited by a
certain phrase he had used, and it
now conquered my resentment.
"Why did you call Mr. Marks a ‘rat
eyed crook’ just now?” I asked.
"Because 1 don’t know of any bet
ter term describing him,” he returned
curtly, and then he gave me a shrewd
sppraising glance.
"For all your wcrldy wisdom, and
your courses in government sleuthing
under Lil. you're rather a naive baby
—do you know it?” he asked.
"I don't know any such thing," I
returned spiritedly. "You haven't the
slightest idea what ray own notion of
Sir. Marks is. It may coincide with
your view exactly, for all you know,
but because I asked the reason for
your very peculiar expression, you
immediately jumped to the conclusion
that because of my naivete and ignor
ance of the world. I had determined
to champion the integrity of those
queer neighbors of—'* •
"Against all comers, eatch-as-catch
can, eh?" he queried, laughingly, |
tweaking my rat. "No^l flon’t think ;
they fascinated you quite that much, j
old dear. But enough of them. They're I
far from being my idea of pleasant
posttheater topic. What. I want to
know isr where do we go from here?"
Madge Controls Herself.
“What do you mean?” I parried,
although 1 understood him only too
well.
"Are you being dense on purpose?”
he asked with the suspicion of a
sneer.
I caught back the angry retort on
my lips with such fierce swiftness
that a tiny fleck of blood marked
where I had pressed my teeth against
them. Then I turned away from
Dicky and pretended to busy myself
with the fastenings of my gown. It
was impossible for me to speak with
out flying out angrily at him. and I
wanted to avoid that humiliating^ex
hibition of temper it it could possibly
be done.
"Which role are we going to have
now—the patlent-G-riaeldamartyr or
the too-proud-to-flght one?" Dicky's
tone was maddening in Its arogant
drawl, and I. who know his every in
flection, realised that he was fast
woMiing himself up into one of his
rages. But l set my troth and made
no reply. .My lips should be guiltless
of any provocative words until en
durance ceased to be a virtue. I prom
ised myself grimly.
I reckoned, however, without re
membering Dicky's power of blister
ing speech. He waited but at second
for any possible reply front me be
fore again bursting out in a quick
angry tone:
“Look here, me beauteous Joan-of
Arc-with-t he-fagots-just-lighting,” he
sneered. “Ill explain this thing in
words of one syllable. We've taken
this thing by the fortnight—lucky I
didn't yield to you and sign up for a
month. Tomorrow we ll give them no
tice and start to hunt for something
decent.” ^

Stories
By THORNTON W. RI RGESS.
The Making of the Woodperker Home.
The greatest Joy is found in work.
So bs It you mo not n shirk.
—Drummer the Woodpecker.
If ever there were two happy per
sons In all the Great World those
two were Drummer the Woodpecker
and Mrs. Drummer as they worked
on their new home. You know there
Is nothing that makes for greater
happiness than the building of a
home when love directs the work.
"Don’t you think it is moot deep
enough?" asked Drummer.
Now while oilier birds may work
hard when building their nests, their
work is easy compared with that of
the Woodpeckers, for the latter must
hammer and cut out chip by chip
the home that is to be theirs.
Hack and forth, back and forth,
back and forth their heads flew as
they hammered their stone bills in
to that tree./ Of course, only one
could work at a time. It would have
made your neck ache just to watch
them. Almost bs soon as the entrance
had been made, they began to slant
down, and after awhile they had a
little hollow. Then they made that
hollow deeper and deeper, and deep
er and deeper. The deeper it grew
the more they had work, for all
those tiny chips had to be taken up
and thrown out of the doorway.
Of course, they didn't work every
minute. They had to go look for
food. This was a relief, for it rested
their necks. "It is going to be the
finest home we have ever had," de
clared Drummer.
“I hope so.” replied Mrs. Drum
mer as she poked her bill out, and
let some chjps drop.
"Don't you think it is most deep !
-^Ifough?” asked Drummer, who. to I
tell the truth, was beginning to get a |
little weary of so much work.
“No, my dear," re'plied Mrs. Drum- ,
mer as she came out for a few mo- j
melits rest.
Drummer sighed. "Just as you
say," said he. "You know best. It.
sometiiTtes seems to me as if we 1
might just as well have used one of
our old homes.”
Mrs. Drummer tossed her head.
"The idea!” she exclaimed. "The
idea of using an md house! Yon :
ought to be ashamed of yourself,
Drummer! What would our neigh
bors think if we brought our babies
up in hh old house? Are you getting
lazy? I do believe you are!’
Now there Is nothing that Drum
mer the Woodpecker despises rnbre
than, laziness. There isn't a lazy
feather on him. He didn't say a
word, blit promptly r^ent to work.
And the way those chips came out
of that doorway was proof , that he
wasn't lazy. •
At last Mrs. Drummer decided that
the hollow they had cut was deep
enough. She smoothed the wall, and
then poked her head out long enough
to say, "I think, my dear, that I am
about ready to make a bed for those
eggs I hope we will have soon.”
Now Mrs. Drumnj^r does not make
a nest of straw and fathers and
other soft things, as so many birds
do. She uses for her bed just fine,
very fine, chips and shred of wood.
They make a very comfortable and
soft bed. Of course, all the chips
bad been thrown out. This had
been necessary to get them out of
the way while they were making that
hollow deeper. Where do you think
she got the chips for that bed? From
the roof. Yes, sir, from the roof!
You know that hollow had been
slanted down from the entrance.
Now she went to work to carry that
hollow up. and Instead of throwing
the chips out she Just dropped them
to the bottom. So by the time she
had made the hollow high enough to
suit her, there was a nice bed of
chips at the bottom.
"There." said she as she dropped
the last chip, "our home is finished."
Drummer flew over to that favor
ite dead limb and once more his
iat a tat tat-tat tat tang out. Ho
was drumming for Joy.

Problems That Perplex
A Question of Religion.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am coming
to you-with the old problem of religion
and hope you will lie aide to answer
my questions.
1 am a protestant by faith, hut have ,
gone with a young man who is a
Catholic?- This summer he will join
the Knights of Columbus. According
to mv own belief, it is wrong, and so,
i suppose. 1 should have nothing, to
do with him. Hut I hale to think of
breaking Off our friendship when he
lias given me some of the best times
of my life. 1 always have a
good time when 1 am with him and
I can't seem to think*of him as the
enemy Ids faith makes him. And so
my question: Stroud faith make a dif
ference? 1 would never marry a
Knight of Columbus, hut should it
make a difference in friendship? He
is 18 and 1 am 17. and we are still in
school.
Thanking you very much for your
answer. STATtfi.
Stars: It should never make a dif
ference in friendship, but when you
are so prejudiced again Ills religion
you will he unhappy You are both
young and may see things differently
as you grow older. AVhy not wait a
few years before you decide.
Discouraged: All success has to be
won by training as accurate a* that
an athlete uses to win a race—and
though It is not always to the swift,
it is always to the steady, sturdy,
earnest contestant.
Any one who refuses to work for
achievement, cheats himself on his
chance to succeed.
A11 the worth while th|ngs of life
are expensive. I.ove must be paid for
with unselfishness, understanding, pa
Hence and sacrifice. Friendship de
mands the same tilings in lesser de
gree. Nothing for nothing is the in
variable rule of life. Whenever a
jjiaij claims he never had a chance,
the truth of it is that he never availed
himself of his chances.
Any one can succeed. Bad health, a
lack of education, even a wnong start !
don't Interfere. All that can come
between a man and achievement is—
himself!
BiHy Buy: You can help voursclf
by always speaking slowly. Cultivate
this habit and it will soon be easy.
Never argue about anything, no mat
ter how much you want to. Keep
calm at ail times. Ail stutterers think
faster than they talk, that is the rea
son for their trouble. Try talking
much slower than you think and you
will soon forget all about your trou
ble. Be glad always that you have
nothing more serious tlmn this and be
thankful, too. Ixiok about you and
you «ill soon he glad you have this
trouble in place of a dozen others you
can see every day of your life If you
want to look.
Teased \boiil (he Hoys.
Dear Miss Fairfax: We read your
letters every day and like your ad
vice, Now, my question is: We at
tended a party . nht long ago and two
boys took us home. The next day in
school everybody teased us. Now. did
we do wrong because wp ace' fi ash
man girls in high school and ii was
the first lime/ a boy had walked home
with either of us and it was only
about two blocks? Now. please tell
me U this is all right.
BEGOV AND BOB.
There certainly Is no harm In a
boy walking home with a girl. People
who tease only show a poor quality
of mind.
Gay: Go to any public library and
you can easily find everything you
wish. Fashion books are there also,
and in them you will learn the cor
rect shades and styles. If there Is no
library In your town, write to Miss
Mary Williams. Nebraska State Libra
ry Commlapkm. at Lincoln.
Jimmy: Perhaps If you would stop
going with other girls, the girl would
stop going with other hoys. An hott
est. direct declaration of your true
feeling might be persuasive argument.
Bobby: Perhaps he has thrown the
letters away, in which case he cannot
return them. Have you a brother,
or could your father not demand their
return?

FROM CARDUI
Georgia Lady Say* She H»* Avoided
Much Suffering by Talcing Thi*
Well-Known Tonic
Medicine.
Clyattville, Ga.—In a statement
which she gave at her home on R.
F. D. 1, here, Mrs. T. A. Copeland
•aid:
"I have, I believe, avoided a good
deal of suffering by the use of Car
diii, and am thoroughly convinced
1 that it has been of great benefit
to me.
“Before the birth of two of my
children, I grew so weak and nerv
ous I could hardly go and suffered
. . . I had a friend who told me
of Cardui, so the next time when
1 grew so weak and run-down 1 be
gan to use it. I used it three
months. I grew stronger and less
nervous. The baby was stronger
and a better baby, and I really be
lieve it was because I built up my
•trength with this splendid tonic.”
Cardui has been in successful use
for "more than forty years. Thou
sands of women have written to tell
of the benefical results obtained by
taking Cardui, and to recommend
it to others.
It is a mild, harmless, purely
vegetable medicinal preparation—a
product of practical experience,
scientific investigation and phar
maceutical skill.
