Four yards to serve you. Updike Lumber & Coal Company Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” Whal Happened Winn Madge Brought the Mother Home. A big awkward man with a kindly face, who evidently was In charge of the prisoners, shambled sheepishly forward as the woman from across the road sprang forward with her wild query to me concerning her chil dren, and put his hand on her shoul der. “Here! Here!" he said mildly. “You mustn't bother this lady.” She turned on him as might a wild cat with fingers curved into claws. “You gif me my babee you," she screamed, and 1 hastily stepped be tween her and the officer. "She’s not responsible, officer," I said in a low tone. “And I don’t mind her holding on to me.” His tense unhappy face relapsed. "I won’t know what to do with her, ma’am, and trfat’s a fact,” he said. "This ain’t any place for a woman—we hardly ever have one here.” "She has a little baby at home," I went on, superfluously, “and I want to take her to her child if only for a little while.” The big man looked alarmed. "I’d like to oblige you, ma’am, but I haln’t got no jooreesdeecshun”—he rolled the word unctuously—"to let her go.” "Who has?” I asked, for I did not know the name of the justice of the peace to whom the young trooper in the farm house had referred. "Why! Lawyer Whinney put her here—he's the J P. around these parts. You might go over to see him." He gave me the directions for find ing the lawyer's office and I turned to the woman, who still held my dress. "If you'll be quiet and not make any trouble," J said, speaking slowly and distinctly as to a child. "I'll try to take you home for a little while anyway.” Madge Wins Her Release. She released my dress Instantly. "All right. I'll be good." she said quietly, and I made the cynical men tal note that both her vocabulary and her comprehension of mine had In creased miraculously in the few hours since I last spoke to her across the fence of her yard. I drove directly to Lawyer Whln ney'a office, and found him a kindly, courteous man not particularly im pressed by my secret diplomatic serv ice badge, which I had to explain to him, but perfectly willing to re lease the woman temporarily, if I would make myself personally re sponsible for her. "The man, of course, will have to stay in custody," he said, “until he is turned over to the federal officers, but until they get here I see no rea son for keeping the woman away from her little children." With his order in my hand, I aped back to the "lockup" and with but a minute's delay had the woman wrapped up snugly in the heavy mo tor robe—her clothing was pitifully insufficient and her bare feet had over them only the men's shoes which I had noticed when I first saw her— and was speeding back along the road to the farm. Bhe hardly waited for the motor to ■top when I turned into her yard Iks-| fore »he leaped out and ran Into the house. By the time I had reached the room where I had left the children, ■he had the baby in her arms, the other children were clinging to her skirts and the air was thick with teary ejaculations and exclamations. At the table. Katie was efficiently clearing away the dishes which had held the bountiful supper she had brought over, while Katherine was trying to bring some semblance of order into the tumbled belongings of the family. The young trooper was standing dejectedly by the win dow looking In the direction of our woodland. "Gee!" he exclaimed despondently, turning around to me. “That is what it means to be the new man. I've got to stay here until the federal offi cers come and we can turn this stuff over to them," he indicated the still and the tubs of mash—"while my buddy has the fun of going out and getting that man." "Did your comrade come back here?" I asked. In surprise, for I had passed no one I did not know on the way to the village. I showed him where the man got out and the pillow you found, and he beat It over Into the woodland. And I've got to stay here. What am I to do with this woman? She was like a wild cat before. Does she Btay here. “Yes, but she’ll give you no trou ble,” I asserted confidently, and step ping close to the woman, I took her by the shoulder. “If you are quiet and make no trouble, you can stay here," I said sternly. “If you do not mind this man I will take you back to Jail."
