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

Richard, Cannon, chief petty of

"When the Neptune was tor

Mr. Cannon, who now lives at 707

toy right leg and five ribs broken

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.

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.

I'M THE GUY who pulls the

That's my idea of a good joke.
But I have others which strike me
just as funny.
One of them is to pull your neck
tie out of ycHir vest. Another is to
trip you up when we are walking
together. Another is to push you
into somebody else.
But of them all I like the chair,

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. It gives me a good laugh
and what! itt gives you is your hard
luck, not mine. t '
It may not seem funny to you, but
then, you haven't my sense of hu

To me tha,t makes it all the funnier.

AWVEBTISEMENT
and finally got my discharge in .Feb
ruary, 1919, I was little better than
a living skeleton. 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."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all

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-

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. ,
