A WiPz'a - Confession1 h\T . Qldele Q'arrisd, The Tula of Rescue Which Lillian Tells Madge “She boarded the train at Chi cago,’’ Lillian said, beginning the story of her mysterious protege. ' She was acconiponled by a. woman in a voluminous black cloak which concealed the actual size of the fig ure beneath, but I had the Impres sion that she was slender. The cos tume was completed by a mourning hat with a deep crepe veil which was never lifted while I watched her. Their baggage consisted only of r. suit case and a valise. The valise you have discovered Is fastened to i lie girl’s arm by a small chain and the Key I have yet to discover. “The woman, evidently In charge of the girl, guided her to her seat, as if she were an Invalid but I thought she was trying to make her arlions as unobtrusive as l>os sible. I had the seat directly behind (hem—or T would not have heard her low colloquy with the conductor whert he came through. She prof fered him two tickets and he looked sharply at the girl as he said: “ ‘You are not going through with her then"’ “ 'Oh, no, just to the first station up the line,’ she replied In a voice which struck me oddly. fW " 'She looks ill lo me,’ the con ductor replied, seemingly worried. “ 'She's all right,’ the woman re plied, ’and she has friends meeting her In New Y’ork. 1 just wanted to lie sure she wouldn’t be bothered with the tlrkets. AVII1 'iou keep them for her?’ “He's An Old Aquaintance.” “‘Why?’ the conductor demanded sharply. Then I bent forward and gave him a signal which he under stood. lie Is an old acquaintance of mine, and often has helped me in a piece of government work. I did not know of course, that there was anything wrong, but one of my bunches had begun to bubble and fizzle, and I decided to put, it in action before it evaporated. " 'I suppose I can.' he finished, and fussed with the pasteboards to give me time to finish a bit of writ ing T was doing upon a card. " 'Try to have her watched when she gets off,' I wrote, and handed him the card with my own ticket when he leisurely came to me. “He gave no sign that he had read it, but after the woman had alighted with the girl paying no attention to her going, lie came lxo-te-do my seat, his face alight with interest. “ ‘Hidn't she act In here like an elderly woman’.” he demanded. "'Indeed she did,’ I returned. " ‘Well she went down the steps that way, too. but she whisked around a corner in a jiffy ain^ the man I told to watch her said she skipped Into a big car that wag evl ^j^g'ently waiting for her and it got out of sight in a hurry. My man got the number. Here it is. Will you look aft er her?’ "f promised, and took the number he gave me. At our next stop I sent several p.ide telegrams in the hope of j setting some trace of the woman, hut l haven’t much hope. It was probably a phoney license plate, and . 1 have no doubt that the woman was a young and active man In disguise. The timbre of bis voice when 1 had' a chance to remember it bore me out ( in that conjecture." •‘Of course you have seen, Madge. I w hat the trouble is.” Lillian said j after a pause, with a noil of her head toward the room where Iter odd guest lay asleep. “Amnesia?" I ventured. "Yes. of a peculiar type even of that oddest of nil mental disenses ]tut when she was brought upon the train she bad been drugged, there was no doubt about It. Whoever did it had ralculated it carefully. Site had been able to walk with a guide aboard the train and the full effect did not strike her until an hour after the woman had left. “Saw Site Was Unconscious.” "Before that time I had seen what waa coming and had arranged with the Pullman conductor to surrender her berth ticket and mine and give me a stateroom instead with a bonus, of course. The girl walked docilely enough to the stateroom, with nty arm helping her and evidently had no consciousness that I was a stranger. It was only a few minutes after getting into the stateroom that she slumped down in her seat, and T saw that she was unconscious. There was a physician on the train and he said that she was in no dan ger that there was nothing to do but to wait until site recovered con sciousness. WliPn she did she ap peared to ai-cept me without ques tion. Only asked once where 'the widow’ had gone. / "The rest you kntm ,” Lillian con cluded. “I brought her on with me because she interested me profession ally—and appealed to me. And now.” Lillian sprang up and inserted a key into the lock of the trunk which had just been brought up. I shot a curious glance at her. She had not told me how or where she had found the key to that trunk. Had she gained access to the chained satchel which the mysterious waif so carefully guarded?

Husband Blame* Himself. Pear Martha Allen: I have been married about IS month* and my wife and I are seriate ted. The fault lie* all with me. T did not fee life as I should and blamed everything on her. I eould not see my own faith* then, but now I see them plainly. She has a son of o. Hip best little boy that ever lived. 1 have children of my own. but lie is dearer to me than any of them. It Is about three months since she left me. Twice I Journeyed to where I was told she was and found her the second time. But she seems to want to avoid me. I have I only talked with her about 15 minutes since 1 found her.'but she seems to want to stay by herself. Don't you think she should give me a chance fo prove to her that I want to make amends for all the suffering I have caused her? T really would give my own life for her. 1 never took a drink in my life and work every day and the only pleasure I have In life nowr Is trying to help her and the boy get along. Don’t you think 1 have a right to do that, as I love them both above all things in this world? JIM. T suppose one has a right to make another happy—If one can—since one surely has no right to make another unhappy. But unfortunately you made your wife very unhappy evi dently before you made up your mind It was north while to make her hap py. You say yourself the fault was entirely yours. Consequently your tlnklndness to her was multiplied, in her eyes, by extreme injustice, on your i>art. You will have to begui all over and gradually build up that re spect and confidence and trust tq you which Is apparently gone. This you can do, it you ate prepared to have patience enough, and realty want to make amends to your wife. Indeed you owe it to her and to yourself. Certainly she should give vou the chance to prove to her that you want to make amends, but just what con stltutea that "chance'' should be left for her to decide. Mr*. Koborg: Vou were right The bureau of naturalization Informs us that a child born of foreign parents In this country is an American citi zen, Mrs. S. O. S.: Bobbed hair is not as fashionable as It was. We will have it with us for a long time, I think. Worrying: Have you found out the reasons for your parents' objections to your young man and weighed these reasons well? Talk the matter over with them and ask them if they will not heroine better acquainted with him by allowing you to have him In your home more often. Perhape If they knew him better they would withdraw all objections. \ ieitinj: INurecs .M;iki* January Report. § At tin* monthly meeting of the V isiting Nurse association, held Tuee* | day in the association rooms In the city hall, reports were presented of 4,977 \isits made during January.
