Dicky's curt words, so different from the greeting I had been pictur ing to myself as I rushed to the sta tion, chilled me as thoroughly as if he bad chosen to dash a bucket of old water over me. Using the com mon sense which since my husband's return from the war I have been, try in ; to inject into my. relations with ! him, I had firmly pushed into the" i rack or my mind the words of Harry Underwood's that had so troubled "The Dicky-bird's not playing the came with' you," and had resolved that 1 would never refer to them, never even think of them again. But my husband's unexpected idleness not only .roused my temper, but summoned from the depths where I thought 1 bad buried it the ugly sus picion whL-h for a little I had har bored. With wifely intuition I knew ex actly bow 1 could most quickly ex asperate Dicky, and with my temper nc-jr the boiling point but with my mental thermometer carefully con cealed I set to work. "Really, Dicky," I drawled smil ingly, "that is a long story, too long for the telling now, especially as I rten't suppose you rare for an audi ence. Several of your fellow pas-serfrer-s appear to be unduly inter ested in us as it is. Don't you think you a netier '"Blast it!" Dicky interrupted un der his breath, throwing his suitcase into the tonneau as he spoke and seating himself beside me. "Get out of tins' quick !'' A "Silky" Question. He had cast one furtive glance around, had seen as I had, that sev eral of the idlers at the station were watching us with open curiosity and smiles which they took no trouble to disguise..''! was fairly trembling with humiliation and anger, but with ... . T , . .1 1 f a migrttv tttort 1 Kept , ine noreu smile on my face that 1 had. put th'Te when 1 first spoke to him. I didn't speak until we had turned the corner from the station and were headed tor the culvert beneath the tracks. I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Ticer harrying up the path away from the covr er where I had left her, uessed that, at her first sight of the machine six had left her post in or der that I need "not feel obliged to stop aud introduce Dicky to her, and blessed whatever astral body it was which had so ordained her move ments. It was no time, for social pleasantries.

"My, Very Own. "IVi'vp this flivver? Not on your golden Wedding day," he. retorted contemptuously. "And for the love of.. Mike cut out that fiveboat siren. Of course,, everybody within -. M miles must have you spotted for a rank amateur by this time, but wait till I can get out of this betore you mix me up with it." Heroically I repressed the inclina tion to ask him if he would prefer walking back to the station and get- . . . . , HI ting a taxi out. 1 Knew mm weti enough to be certain that he would act upon the suggestion at once, and improve upon it by returning to the city upon the next train. So I con tented myself by remarking calmly: "The best driver, I ever have known says that all motor' car driv ers arc amateurs, except the tew who race in those big contests." I felt rather than saw my husband twist in his seat, and knew that his eyes were fixed with suspicious in quiry upon my face. i "The best driver you have ever known," he repeated with a mock- lna- lauch that I knew was torccd. "I suppose you're an accomplished judge or drivers by this time. Strange the newspapers aren't after you to write tneir automooiic col umns. May 1 ask who this paragon is : "I don't think his name would in terest you." I said demurely. "You do not know him very well, and I have heard you speak with distinct disapproval of him many times, so w hy talk of unpleasant things. Isn't the . coloring of those clouds beauti ful?'; : Dicky expressed his opinion of the clouds and the surrckinding country with erAphatic and somewhat pict uresque eloquence. Then he shot forth another insistent query: "Where did you get this blasted car. It looks too new to be a rent ed one." "It is my own, my very own," I returned proudly. Dicky made a quick movement toward me. I think he had meant to seize my arm, and remembered just in time that I was driving. Even the movement made me lose control long enough to let the car swerve rockingly to one side. But I righted it quickly, aud the effort enabled me to listen calmly fo the astounding question which Dicky next asked. "Look, here!" he said with black fury. "Did that pup,' Grantland, dare to tea'ch you to drive?" (Continued Tomorrow.) Cannot Secure Extradition For Men Arrested In Omaha Failure of Norrnn f .

Diplomatic Bill Passes. Washington, Feb. 10. Carrying approximately $9,641,537, the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill was passed by"the senate and sent to conference. XOTBi (Charles M. Schwab, Prenldent of the Bethlehem Steel Company, has p- vently idHiied a pamphlet entitled "Whero Business Men Are Wronr;." The following ' 1 quoted from this pamphlet. "It js a common saying among men that 'music' is for women." But is if? Why are not the refin ing influences of this wonderful art just as much need ed by men and as applicable to men f Some men seem to tMnk they lose a part of their masculinity if they confess to a love of music. Well, I love music and I think I have held on pretty Nwell to the masculine side of my nature. In fact, music has meant much to me in , my life of affairs. Again and again it has refreshed me when I was dog-tired; taken me out of myself and away from the problems of business. A book can do that, too. So can a painting-. But not so surelv as does music. "There is a 'reach' to music that the oilier artsOiave not. Ot course much depends upon a man's nature, or his tempera ment. But speaking broadly and, knowing men as I do, I can not help but feel that the average business man .would be bene fited more than he dreams of if he exposed himself to music. But few men immersed in business are right in tuning their backs1 upon music as a means of absolute refreshment, mental and physical." Business Men of Omaha This expression from Mr. Schwab surely adds emphasis to the thing we have been attempting to do namely : show the NEED for music in EVERY home. s Every. home can have the world's best music through the medium of 1 j .
