10 THE BEff: OMAHA, THURSDAY, 'JUNE 10, 1920. HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Given Another Clue.v My father drew himself up ' to his full height as he spoke, and his voice, though its tones were low, had a clarion note in it which thrilled me. I felt as though I were witnessing a consecration, as perhaps I was. The next instant the question which I had dreaded came from his lips: "But surely Mrs. Underwood al ready knows about the Draper girl escape, does she not? I know that the and Allen Drake have always watched that case very closely." I had wished, if possible, to avoid bringing Dicky's' naXne into the con , versation, but I saw that I must tell my father the real reason for my panic-stricken desire to see Lillian. I could not quite reconcile my con science to thus discussing my hus band with my father, something I had never done, but there seemed no Other alternative. "Yes, she knows," I faltered. "In fact, she told me, but Dicky doesn't know yet. And just now he was Mying "that if only Grace Draper were not in prisoa he would try to get her to pose for some book illus trations which he will otherwise have to turn down because he has no suitable model. I am so afraid he will find out she is free and'' To my horror my voice began- to tremble, and I felt the hot tears be neath my eyelids. The next minute my father's arms went found me, an I felt his tender hands pressing my head against his shoulder, strok ing my hair, and I heard his voice snftlv murmur: "There, there. Pet. Father will sec to it." Flooding Memories. A memory cell, buried beneath the layers 'of years, broke in my brain, its content's forced their way upwarC. I had thought I had no childish mem cry of my father wlio had deserted my mother when I was 4 years old, Save that once I had fancied I re membered hands like ' his pouring cognac over sugar in a spoon above his coffee cup and then igniting it. Eut now, clear as a sunlit vision came the picture of myself a tiny girl, being comforted by a stalwart young father in the very words he was using now. He, too, must have gone back in memory for a blissful moment to that time so long ago. t efore, with his own hands, he had "slain the thing he loved." How much of misery, how much of happiness missed that long ago sin had caused! My mother's life wrecked, my own childhood and girlhood shadowed hy the knowledge that I was worse than orphaned. "How could he! How could he!" I whispered the words almot savage ly to myself, even as I submitted to the soothing ministrations of his voice and hands. ' "Don't Worry." "I think he must have sensed my thought, for his voice changed in ftantly, and his next words were more guarded if just as solicitous. "I think you are perfectly right, my dear, in wishing to see Mrs. Underwood. But I shall insist upon t'Oing with you." There was finality in his voice, the note of one accustomed to be obeyed implicitly. I wondered if he considered it unsafe for me to go tovthe city alone because of Grace Draper being at liberty a fantastic supposition, which I in stantly banished for the more reas onable idea that he wished to-take an active part jn any scheme for my protection. His very attitude, as he buttoned his coat seemed to say: "I have taken charge of my daughter's af tairs. I will thankfully welcome all suggestions, hut the final decision tests with me." As he stopped to unlock the li brary door I hurried to him, "Fath er, dear," I whispered, my hands tugging at his sleeves, "I feel so safe,' sottieway,' with you in charge. I'm going to be a better daughter to you than I have been." He took his hands from the lock, put them each side of mv face, and looked at me intently. "I am very glad of that feeling, my- child. But please neyer use that expression, 'a better daughter,' to me again. It makes me realize too vividly the kind of father I have been to you. I Started to protest, even though ADVERTISEMENT U-BOAT PRISON TELLS EXPERIENCE Chief Petty Officer Richard Cannon, of Ill-Fated U. S5. Neptune, Gives Story of His Perilous Adventure and Re markable Restoration. Richard, Cannon, chief petty of ficer of the U. S. 5. Neptune, whose dramatic capture at sea by' a Ger man U-boat and subsequent experi ences aboard the submarine and in German prison hospital, thrilled the entire country, is still another world war hero to test the remark able reconstructive powers of Tan lac and give it his strong endorse ment Mr. Cannon's adventures were so harrowing that his consti tution was completely shattered but after months of suffering he has now regained the wonderful health that enabled him to pull through his adventures alive and is . today the same strapping two-hundred-pound fighter that embarked 6n the il(-fated collier. But let him tell his dwn story: ( "When the Neptune was tor pedoed off the Irish coast," said Mr. Cannon, who now lives at 707 E.'LaFayette Tampa, Fla., "I had toy right leg and five ribs broken . by the explosion, and when I came to my senses I 'found myself on board a submarine bound for Ger many. I was kept in a German ' prison hospital for five months, and you can imagine what I must have suffered when I tell you that I fell off in weight from two hundred and twenty-five to a hundred and thirty one pounds When I was repatriated my inmost heart agreed with his self-denunciation of those lost years. Fut he slipped one hand lightly over my mouth, stooped and pissed me. "Not a word, my dear," he said irmly. "You and I Know the truth too well for subterfuge. nt I have been trying to make amends, and will continue tryng." He unlocked the door, passed through it and turned back to say in an almost inaudible-lone: "Don't worry about your husband, dear child. Above everything, con ceal your feelings from him. . Some times men--are driven to acts they would not otherwise perform by such worrying." And as he hurried away I won r'ered if he had given me another ciue to that long-burie'd tragedy. (Continued tomorrow). WHY? Are Ripe Olives Sometimes Poisonous? (Copyright 120 by The Wheeler Syn dicate, Ine.) " That ripe olives in glass jaYs have been the cause of a number of fatal cases of poisoning is shown by the recent investiga tions of the Bureau of Chemistry, of the Department of Agriculture. The only case in which a tin container appears to have been involved was caused, not by olives so much, but by a relish containing minced ripe olives. The trouble, the specialists say, is due to'defects in the methods of packing, pickl-ng and process ing the olives. When packed in glass, the ripe olives are usually sterilized at about the tempera ture of boiling water a tempera ture which is too low td insure ihe destruction of the poisonous "bacillus botulinus" and the toxin which it produces. The growth of these bacilli does not appear to be due to the fact that glass jars or containers are used, but simply because these jars are not heated to a sufficiently high point. There, is no connection whatever between 'the poison and light as might be imagined by reason of the fact that only glass containers have held poisoned olives. The bacilli would develop just the same in tin containers, but, as there is no danger .of breakage in tin, there is usually no hesitancy on the part of the packer about applying a sufficient decree of heat. The fact that all cases of olive poisoning have developed from ope batch of bottled olives ap pears to prove that only in except tional cases are even olives in glass jars dangerous and, while the government experts have warned the public to be careful, they have added that there is no reason whatever to suspect all ripe olives "simply because a few have proven injurious. Tomorrow Why Do Echoes Oc cur? I'M THE GUY ! I'M THE GUY who pulls the fhajr from under Vou when you go to sit down. That's my idea of a good joke. But I have others which strike me just as funny.

But of them all I like the chair, stunt best. There's more surprise in it and it makes you look funnier. I should worry if it hurts you, or gives, you a headache for the rest of the day.

I had no appetite and my digestive system was so up set that what little I did eat always gave me' severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Before I joined the service I never knew what nerves were, but after what I went through my nerves were so shattered that I couldn't keep still a minute, and the slightest thing upset me. For six months I continued in this con dition, unable to pick, up strength, and so weak that any attempt at work tired me out completely. I be gan to think that I should never be a well and strong man again. "But the way Tanlac overcame my troubles and built me up was nothing short of marvelous. It gave me such an appetite that I wanted to eat all the while, and I sure did make up for Jost time. I had no more bother with indigestion and from then on I picked up strength and put on weight until now I tip the beam at two hundred and four pounds and am as well and strong as I ever was- before I joined the service. My nerves are as steady as a die and I'm like my old self again. Tanlac is certainly a grand medicine and I think every suffering person ought to try it."

BT MOLLIE PRICE COOK. s What kind of a guest are YOU? You know, there are two kinds4 Guests "X" and "Y." Guests "X" are girls who are always invited ence for a visit, but thev are rarely invited twice. They might be callea fussy-gabbles. They arrive at their friends'-home with so much baggaut that the hostess thinks they have comi to stay for a year. Thev im mediately begin to upset the routine of the household. They disregard the breakfast bell anfl arrive at the table when all the familv is finish ing a meal with a Vcmark, "Oh, I didn't know you were' eating break fast. I am sorry I'm late." They use up all the towels in 24 hours and leave them lying around the room. They leave the room for same one else to tidy while they dash Out -to have a good time. They forget that their hostess, who is usually thefir fricndls mother, may like to enjoy their societv, so they never consider chatting with her. Or else they sit around and wait to be entertained. or taken for a drive. In other words, they make themselves so obtrusive that the family never forgets for a minute that they are guests. . Usu ally the family breathes a sigh of re lief when they are gone. Guests Y start out being appre ciative. They do not take their guesthood for granted. They make themselves at all times as unobtru sive as possible. They take special pains to follow the routine of the household in every way. They do not ask for irons, needles, thread, and pins. They have these things with them. They do not shovt their soiled linen into the family wash. They appear in time at meals. They make their own beds, and tidy their rooms. They Study the mem bers of the' household. They visit with grandmother or mother if they think a conversation will be. enter taining. They ask if they may help with the maiding. They watch where the tableware is kept and un ostentatiously set the table. They do not monopolize the conversation. They rc pleasant and courteous at all times, irrespective of how they feel. If you have ever had guests at your house, you know whether that guest has been an "X" or a "Y." Reflect upon the "Xs" and "Ys," p.nd make yourself a "Y" this summer- (Tomorrow The' All-Seeing Peri scope.) Divorce Court Divorce Decrees. Lena Slmms from David Slmms. non support.

Belvidere Girl Wins First Prize for Viggs' Drawing First prize of $8 in The Bee's Jiggs-Maggie drawing contest goes to Dorothy Smith, 12 years'old, 5302 North Thirty-third street. She is a pupil in the hith H class in Bel videre school. Her drawing of Jiggs and Maggie, George McManus' feature comic of The Bee, was considered best after judging more than 300 pictures by the staff cartoonist of The Bee and the Sun theater management. Dorothy not only won the cash rrize but she, along with her class, teacher and principal ' are to bt, guests of the Sun theater Saturday ruternoon to see JurRs and the 400." . Second prize of $7 goes to Dale DeVore. 13 years old, 2008 Vinton street, Vinton school.- The third and fourth prizes of $5 each will be given and Girls Sports' that Make; Men Athletics Poison Stick. PT FRAXCIS RIOT-WHEELER Indoor, or outdocfrr, it doesn't mat ter which. But, lor the sake of the clothing, Poison Mick had better be called an indoor sport. The players any number sit on the ground, holding hands tightlv. In the mid die of the rink four sticks which stand upright Indian clubs are as good as anything are placed in the four quadratures of the circle only a yard away from the feet of the players. At the word, every fellow in the circle tries to drag his neighbor against the pin, or else all one side of the circle tugs to force the other side to sway towards them until one knocks down a pin. The player whjo knocks down a pin is Out. The circle narrows, the pin is set up again and the struggle recommences. It is amazing to see the contortions that fellows will get into trying to escape hitting on the pins, v When the circle narrows to a few, then three pins are used, and then two, until only two men are left. These two, then, put their feet one against the other, with the legs spread apart, clasp both hands and tug and strain and twist until one or the other touches the pin. When team competition is pre ferred this is secured, by picking two' teams and have every alternate man on each team. By. ,this method, every player has an opponet on either side of him, and concerted action by these two would be disas trous. A still more complicated team struggle is secured on the "cut-throat" style, picking three teams, the alliances . constantly changing1 and shifting in order to combine against the numerically stronger team. It is less destructive to play "poison stick" standing, with light standards four feet high, but it isn't as much fun. , (Tomorrow Press Clippings.)
