My Heart and Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of a Wife"
Tht Return Madge Told Harry Un
derwood She Must "Hurry"
Along."
- When Harry Underwood took off
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
went to work upon the tire over
which I had labored so fruitlessly it
wwas as if 1, watched another person
ality enter his corporal body.
A "heaven born mechanic"
though entirely an amateur there
ts nothing on sea or land or in the
air that, he cannot either repair or
furnish" some definite, helpful idea
toward reconstruction. Lillian used
to say that he approached any
broken mechanism with the sure rev
crential touch of a great surgeon in
he presence of a wounded body,
while Dicky's -drawling comment 1
i-.ad heard many times:
'"Don't ever speak to old Harry or
go near him when he's fixing up
come tottering thing that couldn't
get house room in a respectable rab
bit hutch. The bats that flock to hi
belfry at such times would beat you
to death with their wings." 4
The Same Harry.
The comment came back to me
forcibly as I watched the man's tall,
powerful frame bending over the
.tire, his face absorbed as if the prob
lem before him wye a most intri
cate one instead of the simple thing
it no doubt was to his experience.
What a magnificent animal he was!
I could not withhold the mental trib
i!te, much as I disliked him. WitHri;"au v uuiCICu

had threatened him. ilis lace, too,
had lost the high color, the suggest
tion of nabbiness which had marred
it. in the last months 'that I had
sewi him.
. He was evidently in splendid phys
ical trim, his mentality unimpaired,
but his moral sensef 1 realized as
I looked at him. reviewed his mock
ing comments, his utter lack of re

l:new that I was aware of his infa-
. r:t,...

that he was the same sclhsh, un
scrupulous, devil-may-care chap he
had always been.
And Lillian-, usually so sane, with
j.o balanced a viewpoint, had put
happiness out of her life because
this man, once her husband, in the
emotional remorse for the awful
thing. vhich even he would not have
attempted unblinded by liquor, had
sent an appeal to " her saying he
ivanted o "begin over again." r
v Lost In Work.
"He needs me," she had said to
inc.
1 looked' at the man handing over
'the tire, and gritted my teeth in fu
tile exasperation. For this splendid
specimen Of physical manhood,
'housing a reckless, selfish soul,
needed nobody. Good impulses,
generous impulses he often had
without question; but close associa
tion with, him was only a crucifixion
3 a woman possessing ideals and a
conscience.
A picture flashed before my eyes
with photographic fidelity that of
Robert Savarin,-falling ;almost life
less at Lillian's feet after his quest
of the man before me. She had
nursed him back to life and then
had made t worthless by sending
him away from her because of her
fancied duty to the man whose only
bond to her was the empty legal
one.
A sob rose in my throat as I
HiOught ofithe contrast between the
aim05I lllvaiiOCO aruai, sycui m
lian's service, whom I knew she
- loved with her whole royal heart,
and , this physically magnificent
vastrel whom she loathed, but to
whom she felt quixotically bound.
I bent closer over my knitting that
"my face might not betray my dis
gust if Mr. Underwood should look
at me.
, I need not have feared.- He
neither looked at me nor uttered a
word untrl he had repaired the in
ner tube and had adjusted the shoe.
Then he examined the whole ma
chine with the air of an expert, and
when 'he evidently had decided that
it would do he rolled down his
sleeves, put on his coat and saun
tered over to me.
; ""Haven't any cold cream and
powder inyour knittjng bag,' have
you, Lady Fair?" he asked mocking
ly. "I'm afraid myeomplexion is
.nearly ruined, and as for me deli
cate hands hevingsl"
'.' Despite my disgust and auger, I
I'ad hard work to repress a smile.
I knew that he had had months of
the hardest kind of ambulance serv
. iqe in France, and he managed to
make his demand for cosmetics
"whimsically humorous. I felt subtly
;tlie old conviction steaming over
"me that there was no use wasting
time In being angry at Harry Un-
Merwood. One could only take him
"na he was and keep out of his way
as much as possible.
"I am sorry," I said quietly, deter
mined to kfp out of my answer
anything save the most matter-of-fact
air, "but I have nothing of the
"kind with me. Thank you so much
for fixing the tire. I must hurry
lll.Mltf ..... -i.
I made a movement as jf to rise as
;l ."thanked Mf. " Underwood for re
'pairing the tire. As I did so, he
"stooped, and before I could prevent
him had taken my hands,-knitting
and all, into his powerful ones, and
"swifly lifted me to my feet. He in
stantly released me, however, and
Ihere was nothing in the manner Kf
hi, doing it ! which could possibly
have given offence.
"There!" "he exclaimed boyishly,
triumphantly. "How's that for a
. skilfufambulance driver and stretch
ier bearer? 'There isn't a stitch of
the knitting dropped, is there?'i
'Thank you. no," I said sedately,
but a trifle" breathlessly, for I had
wondered when he had taken my
hands just what ridiculous thing he
lieant to do I had vivid memories of
Harry Underwood's reckless teas-'
ing in the old days. "And" I
tried to be gracious 'as I perfunc
" tority thanked him again "I am in
finitely obliged"
- , . Madge Is Icy.
"Don't prejnre yonr exquisite,
spotless soul," he Jaughed mocking
,ly, "and youtean wait to thank me
" :mtil you are ont of the woods.
Where are you bound for?"
His manner had abruptly changed.
Tha fast ve words were uttered
haly "i business-like manner
from which all hint of badinage had
departed. '
"I cannot see " I began icily,
then stopped as. though hypnotized.
His brilliant black eyes were
fairly blazing with , impatience.
"That it concerns me, I suppose
you mean," ,he snapped. "Well,
just let me tell you something, my
girl, that if it doesn't concern me
it does concern you, and that d d
quickly. Ypu're in the woods"
he looked around the surrounding
woodland flecked with sunshine,
which I' had thought so beautiful,
but which, at his words, seemed to
take on a subtle, sinister shadow
"deeper in them than you think, and
it's going to take nobody else but
little old me to get you out safely.
So you'd better keep a civil tongue
in your head, my dear not that it
matters a rap to me, only you do
look so d d pretty when you're
angry that I might be tempted to
kiss you, and I pride myself on
never taking advantage of beauty in
distress."
Curiously enough the blatant
foolishness of his last words reas
sured me as to his attitude toward
me. I think, indeed, that he meant
them to have this very effect, and
that he shrewdly counted on my
seizing, as I did. upon the hidden
menace to which he had referred.
"What do you mean?" I faltered.
Uneasy Moments. -
Simply that 'the nice, kind gen
here at a right smart pace. I don't
believe you'd care to meet him all
bv your lonely. I think even poor,
old, 'tottering black sheep might be
preferable." '
The film which unrolled before
my mind was so terrifying that in
voluntarily I took a step nearer Mr.
Underwood. Despite his wicked
ness, I had a feeling of safety, of
protection with him, especially when
menaced with the unknown, terror
which the mysterious espionage of
the boat had presaged.
'.'Yo umean that some one is real
ly following me, spying upon me?"
I asked.
"Well, not- just this particular
minute," Mr. Underwood drawled.
"Just now he's sitting at the side
of the road wondering where in
creation he's going to get three new
shoes for his machine. I've had my
eye on him, right along you see I
haven't been watching you, you con
ceited creature, but the gentleman
who seemed so interested in you
and when he hired a machine this
morning I was old Sherlockia
Rouletable right on the job, and,
trailed him with this little old fliv
ver." He's no great shakes of a
driver," Mr. Underwood went on,
dropping into his old habit of adopt
ing what he fondly believes to be
farmer phraseology, "and it was
simply rmtikin' pie for me to edge by
him and then spread my machine
over the ' road so "he had to stop,
stalling his engine. Of course, he
blatherskited me and I him, and
pretending to be the original fire
cater spitting brimstone, , I jumped
down from my machine, being care
ful to leave it with engine running
and nose oointed this way, and slit-
ted three of his tires with my trusty ;
old jack-knife.
That was all, that I could man
age before ne got ins oreatn ana
rushed me. lie sent a couple ot
bullets after me, but I was zig-zag-ging
my car as if I were in little old
France again, and he couldn't shoot
for 2 cents anyways, so there you
are.

Mounts for Navy Guns
Turned Over to Army
Washington, Jan. 25. Seven rail
way mounts for 14-inch naval, rifles,
manufactured by the Navy depart
ment during the war for use in
France and some of which saw
actual service on 'the western front
with special gun crews, have been
formally transferred to the army on
recommendation of the joint army
and navy board. To reach its con
clusion the board prepared a state
ment of policy on the functions of
each service and of the marine corps
which, approved by both secretaries,
was made public by the War de
partment and which "will govern in
future plans and operations."
Under "navaK functions," the
board assigned to the battle fleet the
mission of keeping the seas open to
ships ot its own nag ana ciosea 10
enemy craft. ' .
From a review of these functions
the board drew the policy that han
dling artillery on shore, except such
as might be landed from ships of the
fleet or a part of advance base equip
ment, was an army function.

Business is good.
Statistics prove it.
They show that there is

of 1918.
Of course, there are those

But these kind of people think eternal darkness is

This is good, because the

The increase of employment in men's ready-made J

reported to be 96.4 per cent.

they can get the suits, during these days when it almost
shrivels a man's wallet to look into a tailor's window, is
further proof f the fact that business is good, and pros
perity here.
In addition to the increase of employment there has 1
; been an Increase of pay, which is more to the point.
This increase, noted for
t comparison of December with November, is found to be J

And this brings us right
Omaha is coming to the front as a manufacturing
center, and at the present time makes about everything
that is made anywhere else and certainly everything that
is needed for the sustenance or enjoyment of life.

The answer is easy "through the Omaha spirit."
Yep, business is good.
