A ViPj ' ConPessionfjg Qldele &farrisoH \\ hat Is Lillian Holding Bark From Madge? Lillian's astonishing statement jerked me to my feet as If I were a puppet and her words a wire attached to me. All my vague doubts concern ing the sincerity of the mysterious Chinese which I had thought effec tually silenced, came rushing bark overwhelmingly, and it was In a voice strange to my own ears that I stam mered— "His name was not Lee Chow?" "No, distinctly not." Lillian an swered. "Let me think—I haven't your photographic memory, you know —It was 'Ah Moy,’ or something like that." "Can you describe him?" I asked tensely. Slowly, painstakingly, she outlined the description of a man as dissimilar In appearance to Lee Chow as could well be imagined. "How often did you see him, and when?" I quizzed, my pulses chilling at the possibility that Lee Chow was an Imposter, with dangerous oppor tunities for potential mischief. "Almost every day for weeks,” ehe rejoined, "during an Investigation In which Hugh and I were associated." I played my last card. "Did he have any nickname, do you know? tVhat did Major Grantland call him?" "His name, of course, ‘Ah Moy,' ” ■he returned, a bit Impatiently. “What did you expect Hugh to call him, ‘Dearie?’” “No—” I hesitated, “but I have beard Major Grantland refer to a Chinese servant of his as ‘Old Falth ful,* and I wondered, If perhaps—” “But That Troves Nothing.” “No," Lillian returned decisively. “Nothing like that at all. But that proves nothing either way. You must admit, however, that the appearance of this Chinese up here looks fishy. Do you object to my having a look at this Lee Chow? I’m going to, whether you object or not,” she add ed, her lips quirking Into a smile. But the eyes above were anxious and the contagion of her uneasiness began to affect me. ‘.'Object!" I repeated. "It Is the one thing I have been wanting since I first saw the man, although,” I added with a reminiscent twinge of con science, "I am afraid I gave him the impression that I would mention his mission to no one." "You know the proverb with which Mrs. Ticer would answer that, don’t you?" Lillian demanded with a grin. For that worthy woman's propensity to drag in an old adage upon every occasion was a delightful joke. "I suppose the sage observation concerning the had promise,” I re turned with an answering smile. "Hxactly,” Lillian returned. "So, If you have any Idea where to find this enigmatic oriental, please produce Mm as soon as possible." "There's just one place from which 1 can send a message to him,” I said slnsxd* local Chinese laundry, I sup pose.” Lillian Interposed as I paused. I nodded an assent. "I’ll get the car out and run over right away." "That's a mighty good Idea,” Lil lian approved promptly. "I'd go with you, but I don't think I ought to leave Katherine alone with that girl. She s too apt to he obstreperous when she regains consciousness. But mind your step. Don't go into that laun dry unless you see your way perfectly clear to get out again." 1 knew better than to express aloud my sense of the utter absurdity of this raution, but that Lillian caught my mental skepticism I was soon made aware. "Perhaps I am getting Into my dotage," she said a bit tartly, al though her smile held no trace of rancor. "Nevertheless, you exercise the caution with which I have asked you to endow yourself. If for no other reason than to please me. This stunt has more ramifications than you think, and more than your safety may depend upon your not rushing headlong Into possible dangers. I suppose I am right in thinking you wish to do everything In your power to serve Hugh Grantland In this hit ler hour of his?” A Significant Remark. "Of course, you are correct In that surmise," I returned quickly, and It was not until I was at the door that the significant phrasing of her last words struck me. "If he he alive to have a bitter hour,” I said tentatively, watching her face closely. "That, of course. Is yet to be de termined,” she rejoined, but I had *een the tiny lines around her mouth suddenly etch themselves more deeply. I knew suddenly that she was possessed of some Information concerning Hugh Grantland which she was not yet ready to give me. t "\ COLOR CUT-OUTS QUEEN OF HEARTS s..... ... .J THK VILLAIN.

SOt4 Express and Mail Orders Filled Promptly Deserted by Wife In Hour of Need. Loyalty and tolerance—it seems to me that these are two of the greatest fartors in a successful marriage. Most wives and mothers possess loyalty, fewer of them practice tolerance to wards their husbands. Of course, hus bands are also defective in these re spects, too. Here is a case where I think the wife is in error in falling to stand bark of her husband in his hour of neeed: Dear Martha: Until a few months ago my husband and I were very happy. We owned our own home, a motor car, and did not owe anybody a cent.. We have two lovely children. Now I am wretchedly un happy. I have left my husband and gone to niy mother’s with our chil dren. My husband went in with an other man in an enterprise that took all of the money we had on hand. The other man has a very prstty wife, who won't let other women's husbands alone. I know that my hus band went to dinner with her a few times, but I don't think he made love to her. I knew about it at the time, and asked him not to go out with her, hut he went anyway, saying that he had to for the sake of the business. A month ago there was a terrible scene betweeen my husband and his part ner, in which the latter accused my husband of being a wife stealer. My husband didn't tell me about it—some one else did. For the children's sake I didn't make a scene with him, hop ing that the incident would end the affair. But with my husband and his partner in a terrible mind towards each other, the enterprise was neglect ed, and a few days ago it failed. Now the other man threatens to sue my husband for alienation of affections and wrecking the business. I felt that I couldn't stand it, and I couldn’t stand having the children talked about by other children, so I came here to my mother's home. My husband begged me not to go, declaring that he was innocent, but he has not writ ten me since I’ve been here. I’m afraid he has gone to drinking. My mother says T shouldn't go hack ever, but I'm In doubt. What would vou do? L. R. As long as there Is any doubt re garding your husband's innocence, your place is at his side. It is possi ble that he was not having an affair with tha other woman, and that the other man misunderstood. I would advise you to leave your children with your mother for the time being *nd go back to your husband. In the eyes of the community your husband Is guilty, because you have left him. Go back to him and it will help him put up a braver front. And do not let the matter ruin your future happi ness. If the community Insists on ostracizing you and your husband, then move to another on*. Chapter K Luncheon. Mrs. Ira Porter and Mrs. J. A. Bryan will entertain Chapter E, P. E.
