My HEART and My HUSBAND By ADELE GARRISON How Lillian's Prophesy Was Quickly Fulfilled. I. know of no one who has the temerity to, dispute Lillian's dictum when she is employing her wonder ful powers in aid of some one. I am sure that' I have not, and my confidence in her justice and her strict sense of honor hj such that my scruples at violating Kenneth Stockbridge's confidence fled. "Of course," I answered docilely, and I promptly brought the con tents of the desk I had emptied at Kenneth Stockbridge's request and spread them out for Lillian's in spection. "This is aH I know," I said. "He asked me to take care of these and not to let Alice know of them until after his death. Of course, I haven't looked at them, except toj sec tnat tney are private papers. "Of course nor shall I," Lillian returned abf ntly. As she spXjke she was putting to gether the two pieces of the photo graphs poor Milly Stockbridge had torn across with such venom. "'Alice, my thorny sweet rose.'" she quoted softly. "Poor devil! But what in San Hill prompted him to leave this around where it could be found? Of course, that wife of his was a fiend incarnate, hut this sort of thing was enough to, make any perfect lady go Bersek." "That Reminds Me." "He didn't dream she ever would see it," I said. "Of course, I do not know thi4 but I am practically sure that lie kept these thing:- in the secret drawer in his desk, and I know that no one was ever allowed to open the desk. It was the nlerest accident that when he was hastily summoned away that day he left his keys in his office coat, and his wife found them on the visit to the office, which she would not have dared to make if he had been there. When he asked me to get the school rec ords from that desk he had no idea, of course, that his -vife had been there, and I never told him that she, had. After her death he asked me to take all the .papersjrom the desk, and gave me directions for opening the secret drawer, but, whether he directed me wrongly or I was uu usually stupid I do not know. At any rate, I could not find it." "That reminds me," Lillian spoke quickly. "Allen Drake will be down here in two or three days prepared to make that desk of your friend, the principal, stand on its' hind leg? and turn somersaults. Do you sup pose you will be able to entertain hinv here or shall I get Mrs. Durkce to do it?" "Allen Drake!" t ejaculated. "Yes, don't you remember I told you he was the white-haired boy who would have to tackle this desk? I saw him when I was in Washing ton, and he promised me' to run down whenever I should need him, only to give him two or three days"' notice. I'll wire him tonight to come on."- , The announcement affected me uncomfortably. I did not know, on the whole, whether I was glad or sorry at the prospect of seeing once more the brilliant man who had the faculty of arousing at one time my " admiration, my gratitude and my intense dislike. The last day I had seen him he had done my father and me a signal service. But at the same time he had irritated me to exasperation. But, of course, there was only one reply to ina,ke to Lillian's suggestion. We will entertain him here, ot course," I said. "Father will be mighty glad to see him again. He is very fond of Allen Drake." "The feeling is reciprocal," Lil lian said. "There is no one whose judgment Allen Drake values more than v he does your father's. And now if you'll just let me mull these over a little." She was turning the papers before her as she spoke, scrutinizing care fully the superscriptions on the let ters, studying the snapshot pho tographs, of which there were sev eral, gping over everything except the letters enclosed in the bundle marked "To be opened only after my death." As she .worked my mind flashed back to a picture called up by her words, the mental photograph of the first time I had seen Allen Drake, when Dicky brought him down for dinner, and the night at the old Bennan house, and he had disclosed to me that he was tracking my father. And now Allen Drake was once again to enter my life. I low much water had run under the bridge since that hour! Lillian's voice recalled me to the present moment of stress. "It's kicky for Mr. Stockbridge that you have had these and that nobody besides our precious friend Jake Wilsey suspects that you have them. He's kept it to himself I know his breed hoping to make something on the side out of what he suspects but can't prove. . But if the prosecution had these I They sure establish the mo'tive-for bump ing olf a troublesome wife."' "Do you think he will try to see us soon?" I asked tremulously, "If he doesn't show up by to morrow at the, latest I'll eat well, anything indigestible you want to name," she retorted. She didn't have to wait Until the morrow, it was a halt-hour later that in answer to a telephone ring I heard the voice of Alice HoU combe's mother say: "Alice said 'to tell yon she was bringing a school man over to see you. They are on their way right now." (Continued Tomorrow.)

This trouble can be overcome by thoroughly cleansing- the pores, removing the dirt and impurities which made the skin rough. For this purpose there's nothing better than the mercolfeed wax process. The wax completely absorbs the reugb. - muddy or discolored outer skin and unclogs the pores. The fresh, young skin underneath then in evidence is exquisitely delicate, refined nd beautiful. And it is kept so, as the pores now freely expel effete matter and drink in the life-giving oxygen. Mercoliied wax. because of its wonder ful absorption power, is fast superseding other treatments for coarse, pimply, yel low, freckled or blotchy skin. It is ap plied at night like cold cream, and washed offnext morning. It is perfectly harmless, of course, and can be found in any drug a tors or toilet section. ' !. ni t: ( i r .(If, !
