My Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife"
WhatLillian Underwood Said When
Madge Told Her Story.
"Now, tell me all about it," Lillian
commanded, when we had reached
my own room and she had turned
a precautionary key in the lock.
''All about what?" I evaded, fool
ishly enough, for I had been longing
to confide in ther.
"This mesi out at Bayview," Lil
lian retorted. "I've been watching it
front the papers, and I tell you it's
dynamite. The ramifications of
such a thing are endless, and some
of them might hit you or any other
innocent bystander. I've been wait
i for yon to tell me something about
it, but I've come to the conclusion
that yon don't realize the gravity of
the thing or how it may affect you."
"Do yon think so?" I asked signi
ficantly. She whirled on me.
"Then there is something," she
declared. "I felt it in my bones "
"Your bones are prophetic," I re
torted.' "I was just on the point of
coming to tee you when you arriv
. ed."
"I knew ItP she declared trium
phantly. "N6w you sit down there,
and, as tht lawyers say, 'refresh
your memory.' I want everything
from the very begining, and please
don't leave out anything, no matter
how trivial."
I felt a sudden lifting of the heavy
burden of anxiety I Had been carry
ing concerning the complications
surrounding Milly Stockbridge's
death. Lillian's trained mind, her
boundless energy, her loving heart,
were all enlisted in my behalf. It
would be a malevolent fate, indeed,
which eould thwart her.
I did not need to refresh my
memory,' as she had requested.
Every incident not only rurrounding
but leading up to the "tragedy was
etched indelibly up my brain. And
I had really marshalled 'them into a
corrected story for Lillian's hear
' ing, when after the appearance of
the pseudo-lawyer I had decided to
appeal to her for aid in unraveling
the tangle in-which I seemed to be
enmeshed. '
Lillian cupped her chin in her
hands with her elbows on her knees,
almost at my first word. The old
familiar attitude would have in itself
reassured me if her words had not
already done so. It spelled Lillian
in action, definitely "on the job, as
Dicky would say.
I began my story with Kenneth
Stockbridge odd behavior when he
had first asked me to take the posi
tion of assistant in the Bayview
high school, and traced the chain
tff events conscientiously down to
the mysterious death of the princi
pal's wife. At two points she inter
rupted me, but without-Jooking up
cr changing at all from her tense
attitude.
. "Go On."
"Say that again," she command
ed, when I was describing the dra
matic moment when Kenneth Stock
bridge had dashed from his wife's
hands the glass of "fruit punch" in
tended for me.
"H ml" she commented when I
had gone over the incident again.
"She knew where to lay her hands
on the poison, all right, and he knew
that she knew. It ssows one thing
that she had the Borgia type of
mind, no straightforward villainly
for hets."
I knew better than to make any
comment upon, her monologue.
Lillian always soliloquizes when she
is intent upon a problem, and noth
ing so enrages her as to have any
one interrupt her train of thought.
Therefore I said nothing until Lil
lian, still without ..raising her face
from he hands, said curtly:
"Go on."
Her second interruption came
when I was relating the seemingly
colorless incident of the luncheon
which Milly Stockbridge had shared
with the teachers upon the first day
of the principal's absence. In
blind obedience to Lillian's com
mand I omitted nothing in the re
cital, even describing the packets of
the tea which I had taken to the
school, some which had I given to
Milly Stockbridge because she ad
mired them.
"What a minute," Lillian com
manded. "You say she asked you
how to prepare the tea?" '
"Yes, and I had to repeat the di
rections two or three times."
"H ml" A long pause then
another crisp question:
"Didn't I read somewhere that
she had fallen between her tea table
and the telephone?" '
"That was what" Mr. Stockbridge
said, who found her."
A Cryptic Answer.
"Any indications that she had
been drinking tea or serving it to
any one?"
I am sure not .Alice Holcombe
was explicit on that point."
"Any trace of how she took that
poison, or how it was administered
to her?"
"None whatever, except that it
was the same kind which Mr. Stock
bridge 'had in his photographic
laboratory."
"Of course it was, the clever
fiendl" was Lillian's cryptic an
swer. Then with an impatience
which she only shows when intent
upon something baffling, she ad
dressed her cupped hands vixenishly.
"Now let us hope that the devil
takes care of his own, for there's
certainly a fine mess here for some
body's cooking."
