r-±'— Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love'’ IVhf Madge Feit She Must Hide Mil. Marks From Dicky. Mrs. Marks opened my bathroom door promptly and, noiselessly and after drawing me inside, shut and looked at again as silently. I looked at. her hi astonishment and no little anger, for despite the pain I was suf fering, I w-ds beginning to realize the audacity of the woman In hiding in my kitchen and frightening me In the way she had done. But one look at the strained, fright ened expression in her china-blue eyes and the grayish palor which showed wherever her mask of rouge and pow der would permit it. banished my an ger. Here was a soul in sore straits of some kind and it did not behoove me to add to her burden. “Say, you’re white, dearie. I’ll say that for you.” Her vqjce was still sub dued In the low whisper she had used in the kitchen and I noticed that her • eyes and ears were strained in that direction. “I never was so near pass ing out In my life as when I saw you headed for your kitchen, and knew you'd scream if you saw me. Say”— with a sudden jerk of her head toward the bedroom in our apartment—"can your husband hear me? He ain't like you, dearie, he don't like yours truly . one—little—bit, and he'll raise the old Harry If he knows I'm in here.” "He woji't hear you. if you keep your voice low.” I whispered back steadily, “but—I am 111. and X must get back to bed as quickly as I can. “You poor kid!" Her eyes took in for the first time my hot water bottle. "What's the trouble?" "Nervous indigestion," I replied shortly. “You’re Awful Good.’’ "Ain't that fierce?" she responded. "Yon can't tell tne nothing about that thing. I've had it. You ought to have a mustard poultice.” "I have one and have taken all the remedies," I returned. "Well," she returned competently, "you don't want to listen to no spiel of mine now. But when your husband and mine are gone tomorrow I'll come in and explain everything. But, please, will you let me stay in your kitchen a while longer? I won't hurt nothing and you don't know what it means to me." The mustard poultice was beginning to "draw," and the pain in my chest was not yet conquered. Between the two. I think I wouffl have assented to almost any request of Mrs. Marks in order to get l id of her. "Y'es, yes,” I said. "Do whatever you like, but I must go at once.” “You're awful good,” she said hum bly, "and I won't forget ij. I'll turn out this light now. and the second you're inside your door and shut it. I’ll beat it to the kitchen.” She fitted the action to the word, but as I advanced toward my wide open living-room door, with its light streaming out into the hall, Dicky's tall lithe figure, bath-robed and slip pered, advanced to meet me. Dicky Is Solicitous. "What the—" he began angrily, but a thought of the woman trapped in our bathroom behind me compelled me lo the confession I never would have made for myself, with the remem brance of Dicky's anger vivid before me. ' "Oh, Dicky!" I said appealingly. "I am so ill." » "What!" The anger left his eyes, and anxiety, affectionate but irritated, flashed into them. ilis arm went round me, and he drew, me through the living-room door, mechanically closing it after him, to my great relief, l could visualize Mrs. Marks slipping fearfully and noise lessly down the hall to hide herself in our little kitchen. Dicky put his hand iifider my chin and turned my face up to the light. "I should say you are ill," he said. "What is It?" He wrinkled tip his nose sniffing In disgust. "Oh! I see. Nervous indigestion. I can smell the mustard. Now, why In tlie name of Moses and all the patriarchs, didn't you call me?" I suppose something involuntary came into my eyes, for a shame faced expression flashed into those of my husband. "Oh! I know, 1 know," he said hur riedly. "Tou probably would have felt more like appealing even to the frisky' Mrs. Marks than to me, and I don't blame you. I was an awful—" I put up my hand and covered his lips with it. "Don’t," I said, managing a smile despite my pain, "or 1 11 have to tell you what a menu little cat I was, and that would be terribly humiliating to one of my proud spirit." . He looked down at me quizzically, even as he lifted me in his strong arms and laid me-tenderly upon the bed. "That mustaVd plaster must be Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Tlie Homely Uhl.
