My Heart arid My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of
"Revelations of aAVife."
How Alio Holcombe'i Agitated
Voict Over the Telephone Af
fected Madge.
: I felt the old burden of fright and
anxiety settle upon my shoulders
with Katie's tidings of Alice ilol-
combe's message.
There must be some new and ter
rifying development in the Stock
bridge case or she would not have
been so insistent in her telephone
calls. There had been an agreement
between us that Vn accotint of the
danger of our intercourse being
spied upon, we should communicate
with each other only when there
was urgent need, and then under
the guise of friendly casual calls
. uoon each other. -
Katie was watching me with wide
eyed contrition. ,
"I sorry I forget," she said.
"I'm sorry, too, Katie," I replied,
"although there is no harm done, be
cause I asked you about it so soon.
But if I had not happened to speak
to you it might have caused me a
frrat rliml of trnnhli" Ynn will trv
- - . , -
to remember next tune, won t you,
Katie dear?"
A Message Left.
"Oh, I sooch a. fool!" she sighed
10 pathetically that I had hard work
to keep back the aniueed laugh
which would have effectually coun
teracted my appeal. "But, you see,
1 try awful hard next time. I no
forget me any more."
, "I trust not, Katie," I said in my
most serious manner", although I
knew that it was practically im
possible to change Katies good-natured
heedlessness. "Now 1 am go
ing out for a little walk. If anyone
asks for me, say that I had an er
rand in the village and will be Hack
in a few minutes.
"All right, I feex," Katie's voice
as she caroled the familiar words
which showed that she had already
banished from her mind all com
punction as to her memory, and
is I turned away from her I per
mitted myself the rueful indulgent
smile , I had before suppressed.
, ' I hurried out of the door, afraid
lest someone should delay me. With
Dicky in the house, I did not wish
- .to talk over the telephone to Alice
Holcombe. The local drug store
with a soundproof booth was only
a few blocks away, and upon the re
ceipt of Katie's message I had de
cided to call Alice Holcombe from
there. I knew that she had had a
telephone installed in her own home
during the summer, so I had no fear
of . the espionage of the friendly
garrulous, neighbor whose telephone
Alice used to use.
An Engagement Made.
"With a sudden thought I retraced
my steps from the gate, hurried
around to the side driveway where

Davis, 27 years old, an inmate of
' the state reformatory for women,
-aid she was ill and was excused
from school to go to a clinic. In
stead of appearing before the physi
cian she walked out of the grounds
and to the country home of James
Fargo of the Well-Fargo Express
company, three miles away. Here
she asked that a fast touring car be
telephoned for' and shortly after-,
ward she was in a big machine
, speeding toward New York. '
1 - On the road the chauffeur picked
up a guard whom he knew and who
was wandering over Westchester
county in search of Marion. The
guard informed the chauffeur of the
identity of his fare without letting
the girl know that she had been rec
ognized. A few minutes later Mar-
ion unbundled herself from the
warm automobile robes as the ma
chine rolled majestically up to the
entrance of the reformatory, where
the was again locked up.
Comment on Pershing
at Home and Abroad
"The idea of drafting a candidate
has introduced into the. republican
political situation something new. It
has served to emphasize the fact that
during the past six weeks the Persh
ing boom has been gaining in
strength by the employment of
, somewhat novel methods. -It has
now invaded the east. ' Mark V)ods
and his two brothers.' who are ac-
. companying him on this trip, hajre
been also in New York engage on
matters affecting support for Persh
ing, which has excited the liveliest
interest of politicians.
"Within 30 days it ts said that an
entirely new direction will be given
to the candidacy of General Persh
ing. Political developments will
probably be such, as to force the
movement for Pershing to become
more definite. It has riow outerown
; the bounds of its 'place of birth, and
9 spreading trom the campus of the
, University of Nebraska into other
states, where alumni of that college
are organizing Pershing clubs. Fo
litical organizations of various kinds
are also beinsr formed.
"Organizations now number 1,500
, in the whole country, and a new
Perahinir club, comnosed mostlv of
former soldiers, has been organized
at- Harvard, in the heart of New
England, whose "Yankee" division a
vear ago contained so many men
hostile to the commander-in-chief of
x the American expeditionary forces.
"A campaign that can show such
signs of vitality before the candidate

, ord with respect to the nomination
v is something novel nowadays, when
the woods are full of hustling aspi-
rants for the nomination in self
avowed scramble for the m6st
prized gift within the power of the
American people to bestow.
"Some very shrewd political lead
ers, now ostensibly for other men
are said to be devoted, to the cause

I had stopped th car, stepped into
it and in another minute was out
into the roadway. I am just getting
used to the wonderful facility with
which one can get errands accom
plished when one had a purring en
gine answering the directions of
one's fingers, and smiled at myself
for. almost forgetting that the car
is ready for me at any minute.
It was Alice herself who answered
the telephone when, inside the
booth, I had finally secured the
connection. Her voice would have
betrayed her anxiety 'had not her
words told me.
. 'Oh, you at last!" she exclaimed,
with a catch in her voice. : . ' ,
,"Did you think I was going to
stay all fall?" I asked with purpose
ful lightness. I didn't dare warn her
to appear less agitated and hoped
she would take the hint from my
minner. "How is school getting
along? Are you having that extra
work you thought you would have,
with which I told you I tvould help
if you got swamped?"
"Wha " she began in an aston
ished tone, cut the word" short as my
meaning dawned upon her and re
covered herself in really creditable
fashion. "I should say I have," she
said with just the right touch, of irri
tation in her manner, "and I'm at
my wits' end s how to get every
thing done. If yoir could help me
out I would be eternally grateful.
Can't you run over this afternoon
so I can tell you about it?"
I caught the stressed note of the
wrd "this" and knew that to Alice
the situation was urgent.
My mind flashed to-the conditions
at homeland I1 looked at my watch
before answering. Dinner would not
be ready for another two hours, and
there really was nothing to call me
home, except the fact that every
member of my , household would
speculate upon the reason which had
called me away so suddenly. Vith
rueful anticipation of Dicky's 'teas
ing I resolved to throw the blame
upon the novice's enthusiasm for
motoring, to let them think that I
could not wait to try the car in the
streets around my own home.
"I'll be at your house in 10 min
utes," I returned, "and you be ready
to go'out with me somewhere for a
cup of tea. No excuses now. I have
a thousand things to tell you about
my trip, and there's nothing like a
good cup of tea to make one's con
versation flow easily. So be ready
when I come."
I heard her little gasp of aston
ishment as I hung up the receiver
without waiting for her assent or
dissent. And as I started my car in
the; direction of Crest Haven I won

tion of. things I should find when I

"There is said to be a strong sen

Is not remarkable, for he has been
identified with that state and is of
the type peculiarly appealing to
Texans.
"The soldier vote has been care
fully sounded in advance before the
movement for Pershing has been
carried into any territory. The
swing is said to be decidedly toward
Pershing, 'and I believe that this is
true, for I have sensed it myself.

Pershing's organizing." Daily Star,

"There is nothing surprising in
the presidential boom that was
given such an impetus immediately
upon General Pershing's arrival in
Nebraska that was anticipated as
