My HEART and
My HUSBAND
By ADELE GARRISON
The Surprise Robert Savarin
Brought With Him.
There were but few people in the
train, so that when I had recovered
my poise after Dr. Pettit's discon
certing farewell, I selected a rear
seat where I was sure of being safe
from observation. There, camou
flaging the answers I had jotted
down from Mrs. Ticer's dictation in
the pages of the magazine Dr. Pet
tit's courtesy had provided for me,
I pored over them carefully until I
was certain that I had memorized
them perfectly. It was but the
work of a few seconds to tear the
paper into tiny pieces and to scat
ter them unobtrusively from the
cpen window by which I was read
ing. Assured that the task was safely
accomplished, I resorted to the habit
I have carefully cultivated for years,
and thrust the whole affair of the
questions concerning Jake Wilsey
into a tiny compartment of my
brain and turned the key in the
lock. Then I buried myself in the
magazine Dr. Pettit had bought for
me, a favorite publication of mine.
I knew that I had done all that
Lillian had asked for me and
guessed that the information Mrs.
Ticer had given me would be wel
come to my friend. There was no
use wasting time or worry upon
either the man or the Stockbridgc
case, with which he was connected.
But the problem of Lillian herself
was another matter. Her face with
the lines of suffering so far faintly
etched upon its composed mask, but
palpably growing deeper, haunted
me. I had noticed recently that she
was thinner than she had ever been,
and her eyes were beginning to lose
something of the indomitable spirit
which had always looked out from
them. From numberless little stray
instances I was sure that one con
stant haunting terror beset her, the
obesessing fear of Harry Under
wood's re-entrance into the life he
had made such long-drawn-out mis
ery for her.
What Madge Wondered.
A fiery zealot in her patriotism,
her husband's bravery in the serv
ice had wiped out for her all re
sentment for her own wrongs, or
for the man's former crimes against
his country, and Dicky, his best
friend. I had known of her Uuix
otic determination to crush her own
happiness and that of Robert Sa
varin. because of Harry Under
wood's real or fancied Heed of her,
at the time she made it. I guessed
that in following it out she had sent
Robert Savarin away from her, as
soon as he sufficiently recovered
from the terrible illness incurred
for his search for Harry Under
wood to be able to accompany his
sister. Mrs. Cosgrove, to their
mountain home.
And now Harry Underwood bad
come back, and I alone, of all his
old circle, held the knowledge of his
return. The glimpse I had caught
of Lillian s anguished terror when
she suspected for a fleeting moment
that she had seen him, her relief
when she decided that she had made
a mistake, were fresh in my mem
ory. They had decided me to keep
the conditional promise I had made
Harry Underwood to let his pres
ence in America remain a secret for
a time.
I wondered a little fearfully if
Robert Savarin in his lonely moun
tain home had physically felt the
menacing presence of Harry Un
derwood near the lady of his heart,
and if this subconscious influence
were back of his proposed visit to
us. The next instant I had laughed
at myself with prosaic scorn at my
own folly, assuring myself that Rob
ert Savarin had reasons enough for
his trip in his desire to see Lillian
and arrange for the sale of his pic
tures, without my imputing a touch
of the occult to his journey.
Dicky Observes.
That Lillian for the first time in
her life doubted her own strength of
renunciation I knew from her words
and manner when I first told her of
Robert Savarin s projected visit. As
I remembered the whiteness of her
lips and her anguished eyes, I re
newed the vow I had made that if I
could comoass it. Robert Savarin
should have another chance to ptead
his case with her. He has always
seemed to me to need an advocate,
this gentle recluse, with IS years of
mental blankness behind him, and
his apparently hopeless love for Lil
lian completely filling his heart and
brain.
But it was a new Robert Savarin
whom I met a few days later, when
Dicky, after telephoning from the
city that the artist had arrived,
brought him out on the train which
reaches Marvin a half-hour before
our dinner time.
"What d'ye know about the old
dear?" Dicky demanded of me, when
after he had ushered the artist into
our home with the air of reverential
admiration he always employs to
ward the man he regards as a mas
ter, he had conducted him to his
room to rest for a little before din
ner. "Isn't he the chipper old party,
though? I hardly knew him when
he stepped from the train, he swung
off like a 2-year-old. Old Lil would
better look out. She's always looked
a lot younger than he, but if he
keeps on at this rate people'll take
them for mother and sin."
I laughed at his nonsense, as he
Practical Service

Day Nursery

the day nursery was open, 188 chil
dren were cared for, according to
Mrs. William Archibald Smith,
chairman of the nursery, National
League for Women's Service. One

attention was secured without fee to

the observation of a prominent ocu
list, whose services were given with
out charge. Dr. Kathleen Sullivan
O'Connor visits the nursery, giving
her services without fee to the chil
dren. Dr. Edwards of the city
health department inspected the
nursery in March.

had intended I should, but I
watched Robert Savarin unob
trusively when I next saw him, and
my observation confirmed Dicky's.
Something had changed him from a
gentle invalid, crushed by Lillian's
coldness, to a forceful man, looking
15 years younger than when I had
last seen him.
I felt with a sudden rush of relief
that I would not have to arrange
opportunities for Robert Savarin.
He looked fully capable of fighting
his own battles "to advance his
lady's cause."

The Oldest Man in Georgia Has Used ThedforcTs
Black-Draught as Long as His Daughter Can Remember,
For Deranged Stomach and Liver Troubles.
Attapulgus, Ga.,- Jan. 30, 1920.
MY FATHER was bora Feb. 5, 1813, making him 106 years of age. He was
a confederate soldier, fighting all through the Civil War. He also fought
in the Indian War. His father and a man named Sharp settled this county.
My father was born in this county and has never been away except to the war.
When the Indians fought the Whites here, my father was cut on the head by an
Indian, carrying now two big scars across his head.
My father has his third set of teeth, and can still get around the yard in good
weather. He had splendid health, till he began cutting this third set of teeth.
While cutting these teeth I had to use with him a mild laxative, and I have never
found anything better than Black-Draught. This I have used with him ever
since I can remember. When I was a child my father used Black-Draught, on up
lo now. That is what I use with him. I can recommend Black-Draught and glad
ly do so. It was my.father's family medicine and I suppose it will be till he dies,
as it is reliable, and I have never found anything that did him the same good when
his stomach is deranged. For old people, Black-Draught will help the liver acting.
(MISS) ELLA STRICKLAND.
Lafayette Strickland, of Decatur County, (the old gentleman In the center of the picture) is be
lieved to be the oldest man in Georgia. His exact age was not known until a few days ago, when
his daughter came across the old family Bible, which had been mislaid. The record in the old
volume gave the date of her father's birth as 1813. Some of the oldest men in his county say they
recall that, when they were boys, Mr. Strickland was a gray-bearded man. Bainbridge, Ga., Post.
IMPORTANT! There is only one genuine Black-Draught Liver
Medicine, but many imitations and substitutes. Do not be deceived !
Look for the name on the package I Refuse all imitations!
