What Tortured Madge When She
, Awoke Before Dawn.
' Oh. Dicky, don t speak so atroaJ
clouslyl" I protested, feeling a hypo
crite as I did so because of my own
thoughts.
' ''RotP Dicky rejoined vigorously.
"I remember telling you long ago
that if I were Mr. "Stockbridge
Well, whether he's done it or not
doesn't alter the fact that'she's dead,
and nobody ought to care a darn,
least of all your red-headed friend.
"Come to think of it, I saw him
casting a sheep's eye or two in her
direction when I was out there.
Perhaps the poor devil will draw a
lucky card yet."
Dicky and I took a moonlight
drive after we had deposited Alice
Holcombe at the door.
As a result I was so drousyjthat
the little tyack devil of fear which
bad perched up my shoulder since
Milly Stockbridge's wild threat over
the telephone a few minutes before
her death bad no chance to torture
me until the black hour just before
dawn. Then he had his revenge
for his long wait, Jor J woke with a
start, arid immediately became his
prey.
The whole horrible situation un
rolled itself before me as vividly as
if its scenes were being filmed uponJ
a screen. And the deep snaaows oi
my room, jwhich has only a feeble
right light on Junior's account,
seemed to my excited imagination
to be full of lurking, menacing fig
ures. The Fear.
I put on my hand, turned on the
electric switch, then arose and pull
ed more closely the screen which
always protects my little son's eyes
from any sudden light. Then with
a swift reassuring glance around the
room and a contemptuous anathema
against my own nervous tremors I
crouched back against my pillows
and tried to review calmy the pic
tures my memory was showing me.
The principal's wife was wildly
excited when she had called me up.
Why? Had she just been through a
scene with her husband'or had some
one come to her retailing some piece
of gossip had enraged her? I ran
through the list of possibilities that
might have caused her emotion,
acknowledged myself hopelessly
puzzled, and went on to the next
point.
She hadNlemanded to know of the
whereabout of "that other red-headed
snake." The coupling of Alice
Holcombe's personality with mirre
on her rage-crazed tongue showed
that wild, insane hatred toward us
,vas probably the last emotion the
woman had ever felt. I shivered at
that thought, and its complement
which involuntarily came to me
the wonder if perhaps that insane
hatred had accompanied the malevo
lent spirit of the: woman and across
the vale if it were not still directed
toward me.
She had said ah! There was the
thing which made' me feel as if my
bones had turned to jelly that she
had filed a suit for divorce and had
named Alice Holcombe and me in
it th:.t I would find it in the papers.
The awful significance of this state
ment had not come to me before.
As I realized what it would mean to
me if she had spoken truly I put my
hands before my face to shut out
the light, and could not repress a
low mean.
Baby Wakes.
Useless to point out to myself the
fact that none but an insane woman
could have evolved such a frightfully
false accusation against two inno
cent women. Useless o reassure
myself with yie thought that no
sensible person, no real friend
would Believe it. I" knew enough of
the world to realize that just the
publication of my name in such a
connection would mean to me, to
ray husband, to
My, baby unaccustomed to any
sound of grief from me, stirred at
the moan I had given, wakened and
cried out. I rose, gathered him to
me and crooned him back to sleep,
while the touch of his baby fingers
brought the most poignant anguish
I had yet known, as I thought of
what might shaddow his life.
I have neyer had much charity for
women whd bring disgrace upon
their children. I have less since that
night of agony when I. guiltless,
faced the possible humiliation of
my boy because of me. Any woman
who could wilfully Court such dis
aster I have no words to paint my
abhorrence of her.
My brain leaped to the one ray of
hope, the queer, jerky assurance
Kenneth Stockbridge had given me
later over the telephone: f ont
mind anything that has been said.
I have attended to that" "Yet I
dared not dwell upon it. It had too
sinister a significance in view of the
awful things which must have hap
pened within a few minutes of his
telephone talk witlj me.
The morning papers! I had not
thought of them before. If Milly
Stockbridge had spoken the truth,
the morning papers would perhaps
have the tale she had threatened.
I looked at my watch. Yes, the
newspaper train was due. It would
not be long now before I would be
able to see 6ne, as-our house is near
the beginning of the newsman's
route.

Tough Luck! Shimmy Hounds

"and I aln formulating the new rule
