My HEART and
My HUSBAND
By ADELE GARRISON
The Way Allen Drake Opened the
Secret Drawer.
Dicky, are you in a good humor?"
I perched on the arm of my hus
band's chair, prepared to cajole him
into an affirmative to my question,
even if he were ready to answer it in
the negative. Coaxing Dicky is some
thing I almost never do, and I have
a contempt for the women who ha
bitually use the weapon. But it can
not be denied that it is peculiarly
fitted to the hand of femininity and
the usually receptive mood of mas
culinity. And the urgency of the, oc
casion warranted any subterfuge to
my mind.
Allen Drake was to arrive on the
next train in response to Lillian's
summons for aid in finding the se
cret drawer, and Lillian expected, of
course, that we would entertain him
during his enforced stay with us.
But Dicky had been away and I had
had no opportunity to tell him either
of the expected guest or of his mis
sion. Indeed, Dicky was in com
plete ignorance of the history of
the desk which we had smuggled
into the house with such care a few
weeks before.
I knew that I would have to pick
my way with caution, for Dicky's
vanity is easily wounded, and, be
sides, on one or two occasions he
had seen fit to be captious concern
ing what he called Allen Drake's
"cursed impertinence," meaning the
rather marked attention which the
brilliant secret agent had paid me
upon one or two occasions when we
were all at dinner together. So I
had donned my prettiest gdwn, had
done my hair in Dicky's favorite
way, and, altogether, I told myself
grimly, was prepared to play the
role of a wheedling wife.
"How could I help it?" Dicky
rose to the occasion gallantly,
slipped his arm around me and
drew me close to him. "What's in
the wind? There's something, of
course."
Madge Carefully Explains.
He smiled a bit maliciously, and
I found my face flushing. But I
struck into the subject boldly.
"You remember the Stockbridge
case?"
"Uh-huh a terrible mess, too. I
hope it doesn't concern, that."
"But it does, Lillian has been
working on a theory of Mr. Stock-
bridge's innocence for some weeks,
and she thinks that the last clue is
in a secret drawer of his desk you
remember the desk Lillian said she
picked up at a second-hand store."
"Go on, the plot thickens."
I saw with relief that Dicky sup-

Flat Feet--A War Lesson
The world never appreciated the prevalency and the significance
of flat feet until army surgeons began their examinations for the
selection of the country's ablest man power.
But why the need for broken arches? Discomfort distracts the
mind, undermines efficiency.
You don't need to worry about or fear broken arches if you wear
Ground Gripper shoes. The low heel, the scientific arch, the
flexible shank, the straight inside line all combine for your com
fort and efficiency in Ground Gripper shoes.

posed Lillian to be the sole cause
of keeping the desk secret, and so
was not angry. I made haste to
strengthen the impression.
"Well, it was Mr. Stockbridge's
private desk, and she's sure the
clue to the whole thing lies in there.
But it seems there's only one man
who can open it, so Lillian asked
him down to do it, and he's com
ing on the next train, and we will
have to entertain him for a day or
two, of course."
"Aha!" Dicky grinned, but he
shot a shrewd, questioning glance
at me. "Enter the cullud genlman
in the woodpile. Name, please?"
"Mr. Drake." I was furious to
find myself flushing again.
"The devil you say!" Then, with
an attempt to pass the thing off
lightly he spread his hands in a
grandiloquent gesture. "Well, I'm
sure I don't care. Go as far as you
like. It ought to be interesting to
watch him work. May a mere out
sider cut in on this?"
"Of course, goose." squeezing his
arm ecstatically, and resolved that
nothing should, prevent his being
present at the test.
So it was that we gathered in
Lillian's room after dinner, Allen
Drake,. Lillian. Dicky and I. Dicky
was not in a particularly happy
mood, f-" Allen Drake had been
rather effusive in his manner when
he had greeted me, and had rather
exclusively talked to me during the
dinner time. But in the presence of
the desk with its '-uriou j mechanism,
Allen Drake became a different per
sonality. I don't think he knew
there was any one in the room save
himself, and Lillian swept us away
from him that no word or move
ment might disturb him.
He looked at the desk from all
angles. Then he seated himself be
fore it, closed his eyes, and his long,
slender fingers began to play over
the polished surface o; the wood as
I have seen blind Deople "feel
things." I think we" all felt the
dramatic tension in the atmosphere,
and when Mr. Drake's fingers
stopped at one point in the side of
the desk, and we heard a slight
click, I could not repress a little
exclamation as the secret drawer
shot out from its hiding place.
"At your service, ladies," he
said, but he looked directly at me,
and I felt rather than saw Dicky's
frown of displeasure.
Lillian caught up from the drawer
a single sheet of note paper, blotted
and scrawled. Here eyes ran over
it quickly, then with a little indrawn
breath of relief she beckoned the
res,t of us to her.
"Read that!" she said, thrusting
the paper into my hands.
It was dated the day that Milly
Stockbridge had visited the school,
and bore the names written under
each other of her husband. Alice
Holcombe and myself.
"Ah, you devils, you lying devils,"
it began, "after all -these years I
have found you out. My husband,
my best friend, and that new Gra
ham thing, you'r; all in this to
gether! You don't think little
Milly would find out, did you? But
I'm cleverer than all of you put to
gether, and I'm wondering now just
how most I can make you suffer for
this. I wish it was the time of the
old tortures when I could stretch
you on the rack or lower you into
boiling oil. I wouldn't care if I
died myself if I could only get even
with the whole outfit of you. Aha,
Kenneth, you'd look sweet hi the
electric chair, and I can send you
there! I've always had the stuff, hid
it for years, I'm too clever for you,
yoju see. And this tea that Graham
devil gave me tod.iy. What a
scheme! And when I lie there dead,
after I've drunk the poisoned tea,
I'll laugh, I tell you, laugh at the
way evcryhody'll think you three
fixed it up for me. Oh how I hate
von I Curse you, curse vou, curse
you. MILLY."
Allen Drake and Dicky, one on
either side of me, had been reading
the paper with me. As I finished I
looked at Lillian questioningly.
"This clears Kenneth Stock
bridge," she said decisively. "Con
gratulations, old man." She held
her hand heartily out to Allen
Drake. I seconded her with a
murmured but heartfelt:
"It was wonderful, you finding
that drawer." j
"Like magic, old chap," Dicky
said, but the words were so per
functory that I felt embarrassed be
cause of them, felt impelled to
make my own smile of approbation
more meaningful than I otherwise
would have clone. '

Because of her rosy cheeks
and satiny skin a woman at
tracts the admiration of all
men. When the young wo
man peers in her glass, she
may see pimples and blotches
and she immediately goes
to the drug store for paint,
powders and beauty creams,
when she should go there for
a blood medicine and stom
ach alterative known as
"Golden Medical Discovery."
This spring tonic and blood alterative clears the skin, beautifies it,
increases the blood supply and the circulation, while pimples, boils
and eruptions vanish quickly. Ask your nearest druggist for
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in tablet or liquid form or
send 10c for trial pkg. of tablets to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel in
Buffalo, N. Y. ,
Here is one of the many thousand grateful letters received by
Dr. Pierce from every state in the Union :
Jane, Mo. "Twenty-eight years ago I was in very poor health.
My blood was out of order and I also had feminine trouble. I doctored
with the best doctor I knew of but gradually grew worse till I
wasn't able to do anything. I heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines,
so got a bottle of 'Golden Medical Discoyery' and one of 'Favorite
Prescription' and I immediately commenced to improve. After taking
three bottles of each I was able to do light housework and felt like a
different person a very small expense compared with what I had
been paying the Doctor. Since then I have used these medicines
for myself and family and find they are just as recommended"

Two Breads
whose standards will never be surpassed-
T KEALLY doesn't matter How good Mother's Bread
was the fact remains that every crum contained
mat most wonderful ingredient. "Mothers Lnvp
which gave it a quality 'never to be surpassed, and
against which no baker could hope to compete.
We don't care whether George Washington really cut
down the Cherry Tree or not we learned this wonderful
tale when we were kids, and to us it rang with a genuine
ness that no amount of evidence could change our minds
of the truth in it. We know George did it and that's all
there is to it.
And so it is with Mother's Bread We don't care in these
days of "the Specialist" and modern sanitation, whether
the claims of Today's Baking versus Yesterday's Bak
ing are proven true or not. Nothing can ever rob us of
the memories of Mother's Bread; that brown sugar and
jam. Gee, those were wonderful days.
Mother's whole life was wrapped up in us kids, it didn't
matter to Her how many hours she spent in the kitchen,
for Her every joy, Her every happiness came in the .an
ticipation of seeing us kiddies devour the good things she
was able to make for us.
What a wonderful treat it is today to eat bread that will
ring true in quality to the memories of Mother's Bread
it helps to bring back those memories, and makes us eat
on in full enjoyment of those days we love so well. Try
a loaf of Tip Top or Hard Roll Bread see how good it
really is we know that you will agree with us that it
deserves to stand side by side with Mother's Bread, that
test bread on earth, then and forever.
