A Wife
Confession^
; Qlclele yarrisd,
The Surprising ('omniand Which Dr.
Pettit Gave to l.illian.
I found l.illian sleeping so" soundly
thbt I hated to awaken her. Kven
any untrained eyes saw, however,
Jthat It was the slumber of exhaus
tion rather than a natural sleep, and
I knew that it was necessary for
Jar. Pettit to Investigate her condition
}»s soon as possible. Therefore, I tip
Iced back to the floor and beckoned
him to enter gesturing toward l.illian
as t did so.
*3 It is always a marvel In me to see
the transformation in Herbert Pettit
Vben he approaches a patient. I
Hare noticed it and commented upon
it many times, hut it never fails to
intrigue me. He Is like a man trans
formed. All the mask of stiffness, re
serve and stressed dignity fall away
ftoni him and reveal a tense, effici
ent and tender man of healing.
At my gesture he advanced noise
lessly toward the bed. There he stood
finr what seemed to me an eternity
Of* minutes gaxing down at Killian's
pallid face, and listening to her
breathing. I had taken a position on
>he other side of the bed, but he sud
denly looked over at me, and indi
titled by imperative gestures that I
Was to come close to him, and kneel
hv T.illian's side, so I hat when she
.opened her eyes, her first glance
W’ttuld fall upon my face. When he
-Had done so. he bent over and put
hi* trained fingers upon m.v friend's
wfist. Put neither of us need to have
V* red to awaken her. She did not
rco.o so nturh as a facial muscle, and
jwl&en he had finished he spoke soft
jg-Ibut imperatively:
■ "Awaken her,'' he said.
When Raillery Helped.
A fThern was an indefinable some
thing in his voice, which rang r
tiny hell of alarm in my soul, but I
wasted no lime In Investigating It.
With lips that I could not keep from
trembling, I kissed Lillian's cheek,
and spoke tenderly but with a note
of the raillery which Is the conver
sational coin used between us.
‘‘Come! Old dear! You'll never he
able to get any salary out of the
Seven Sleepers. They probably would
he too jealous of you."
Her eyelids lifted themselves lan
guidly as if even that slight move
ment were an effcst for her and her
answer held no raillery, only fatigue.
‘‘What is it Madge? if it's nothing
very Important, please let me go to
sleep again."
Her eyes w'ere closing as she spoke.
Dr. Pettit touched my shoulder in
peratively, and 1 spoke again, more
sharply.
‘‘But it is Important! Dr. Pettit Is
here and you must .talk to him."
I expected and indignant objection,
for she had expressly stated her
views upon medical attendance for
herself only ft few minutes before.
But there was very little more energy
in her manner, when she opened her
eyes the second time, and fixed them
upon D. Pettit's face.
"All right, Doctor," she said lan
guidly, hut with the jesting note
which will invest Lillian's conver
sation to her last breath. ‘‘Is there
any particular subject you would like
to hear me discourse on.
"Yes, a most interesting one,” Dr.
Peltii replied promptly. No one look
Ing at his keen smiling face, would
have recognized him as the dour man
who had objected to taking her as
an unwilling patient. ‘‘I want to hear
you talk about yourself for an hour
or two,—If your very good—and vol
uble—perhaps I'll let you off in less
time."
She gave him a faint impish grin.
‘‘Threat or promise?" she asked.
“You know that’s the most fascinat
ing topic you can give me. What do
you want me tp begin on? My fatal
beauty nr my lovely dttpoiltlon?"
I noticed that the tiny muarlea »t
the corners of her mouth and eyes
were twltrhlng wirh something other
than amusement, end I was relieved
When Dr Pettit, closely watching hsr
put his hand with tender authority
upon her wrist.
“I'll tell you lalef," he said. "For
the present, lust answer « few ques
tion*. truthfully, now mind."
His tone was Imperatively profes
sional, now, and I-lllian looked at him
faintlv frowning.
"All right," she said again, “but—"
she glanced at me—"I’m not going
to answer any of your questions with
anyone else present."
T started from my kneeling position
instantly, but Dr. Pettit's quick,
powerful hand shot out. and gently
but firmly pushed nte back into it
again.
"Stay right where yott are." he
said, and then turned hack to Lillian.
"Oh, yes, you are," he said calmly,
"i want Mrs. Graham to hear ex
actly the condition you are in. and
then she will be able to carry out ray
directions."

colorings and the occasions for
which ydu intend to wear the cos
tume.
Much in favor for sport wear Is the
jumper frock, designed for comfort

In Batl Taste.
Dear Miss Allen' I have been going
with a young man for about five
niontha h rid he has a birthday soon.
Would it be all right for me- to give
him money as a present? He has so
many things that were given him as
graduation and Christmas presents
that there is not one thing that I
Know of he would like.
BLUE EYES.
It would he in decidedly bad taste
to give the young man money, (live
him a book, magazine or fine linen
handkerchief. Or you might make
him a birthday cake or box of candy.
Sad: I advise you you io be courte
ous to a I! your friends and encourage
[your boy friends to lie the same. I
think you are too demanding. Lei
your boy friend talk to other girls if
he wants to, and claim the same
privilege for yourself. You don't need
to take his word that he loves you.
Actions speak louder than words. Just
watch his conduct for a few months
and you will know well enough who
it is he likes best.

Dear Sir: 1 g
- Responding to your prize offer for the best answer to the question, ‘Y\ hy
our family uses Alamito milk.” will say.
P'irst • A 2-months-old baby In our home has been brought from 5 lb«. 14
nz to 10 lbs. :t os. in two months time in perfect health on Alamito milk. \\ e
began using your milk upon the advice of the best medical knowledge we ■*
could obtain in the city. It has lived up to all our expectations, and has per- ;
fectly agreed with our little baby. ! J
Second: Wife's father. 70 years old, a retired farmer who has milked coves ; 5
since he was 10 years old and knows milk, says this is the best he ever tasted.
Third: A personal visit to the plant where this milk is handled, sometime
ago convinced us that the most sanitarv, healthful measures known to the dairy
industry were being employed. It was the cleanest, best managed milk depot jt
we had ever seen, and it seemed to us that every precaution possible was being
taken, in both a scientific and practical way to keep the milk
clean and of high food value. |
In a word, our family feels it must have the best milk avail
able. milk that we can absolutely depend upon as being pure
and healthful, and we are satisfied we are getting that kind of j
milk. It suits both our 2-months-old baby, our 70-year-old father,
and all ages in between. ;|
Also, we are not only satisfied and pleased with the milk, I
but we appreciate the prompt delivery service and courteous j
accommodations of the Company.
Yours truly, ; f
