THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. MARCH 24, 1021. if i i a riusband Adele Garrison's Ne Phase of Revelations of a Wife The "Surprise" Dicky Gave Into Madge a Hands. I walked steadily to the door when Dicky had closed it after him, and turned the key softly in the lock. Then jylhmit undressing: I threw myself on the bed in ia tempest of the nervous tears which I had been Stoically repressing for days. All the pleasure afforded by Dicky's championship of me against hditlis slur concerning investiga tors" had vanished, swallowed up in chargin at his evident perturbation because of the patent antagonism be tween hd.it h and me. In vain 1 tried to tell myself that his concern was apparently as much on my account ; as on hdith s sanity had no part in the hysteria which wa wreaking its will on me. I wept and sobbed until quivering and exhausted I mechani cally drew a blanket over me and fell asleep. It seemed no more than a minute or two, although in reality it was fully an hour before I was awakened by peremptory knocking upon my door. I started violently, calling in n frightened tone: "What is it?" "Are you dead or just asleep?" Dicky's voice came back in irritated uccents. "I've been pounding Here, for half' an hour. Let me in." I am tised to his exaggerations, so I knew that in all probability he had knocked only twice or thrice before the loud summons which had awakened me. As I scrambled from the bed I caught a mirrored glimpse of myself by the light, which I bad forgotten to switch off. Tear-stained and swollen face, dishevelled, hair. rumpled clothing-rl had only taken off my gown when I threw myself on the bed. I dreaded infinitely Dicky's ' inev itable comment when he should catch sight of me. "For the love of Mike!" he ex claimed when he beheld me he was quite true to form, I reflected a bit cynically "whatever in the world is the matter with you?" "I've Something to Ask You." "Nothing," I returned a bit curtly. ' I was so tired that I lay down for a bit before undressing, and I njust have dropped off to sleep." He looked at me searchingly for a minute, then: "Have it your own way. Far be it' from me to pry into your inmost heart. But I've got something to iisk you, and I don't want you to get your death of cold while Nyu'n; listening. A hurry up and finish undressing and get into bed. I'll be back in 10 minufes." ' I He turned on his heel without an other glance at me. I knew that despite his apparent- indifference he had realized the nervous strain I had undergone, and meant to give me time to -pull myself together. , . I finished undressing, took down, ' combed and plaited my hair always a soothing process to me bathed my 'tear-stained face, and, wrapping a gayly colored kimono around me, crept back into bed. Dicky ap peared promptly at the end of the '10 minutes he had named, bearing; in his hands, to my great surprise a steaming cup of coffee. "Lucky Katie got in supplies to day before she took her tantrum, and put them all away in tie places where they are generally kept. I didn't have any trouble finding them. This is camp coffee, made with cold water, but I think it's pretty good, for I drank a cup before I brought itUp. . I put in two lumps of sugar. That's what you always take, isn't it?" ' ; A Quandary. ' I repressed the whimsical smile which came to my lips at this ques tion. One Itttrtp of sugar is my in variable portion, .yet Dicky always says "Two?" when serving me. I detest more than one lump, but something in the irrepressible boy ishness of his look as he held it out to me made me determined to swal low it appreciatively ..if it were sick ish sweet. "Thank you so, much, dear," I said, as I sat up in bed-and held out my hand for the cup. Dicky handed it to me, then deftly tucked the pillows back of me and stood, waiting until I had finished the surprisingly good coffee which he had prepared. ; "There's nothing like a good cup of coffee," he quoted his niother with a twinkle ih his eye . as he took the cud from, me and set it down upon my table. Then he sat on the sidcj of the bed, looked at me steadily lor a second, and said quietly: "I don't want you to violate any confidence, but can you tell me whether you and Lil agree with Edith as to her theory of boys breaking in here the other night?"

Mother Grouse's Children. The very nest day after his first lesson in hunting, when his mother had brought home the live wood chuck, Tommy .Fox went off into the woods alone. He had made up his mind that 4ie- woul i surprise his mother by bringing home some nice That same thing happened as many as a dozen times: Mother Grouse, with al) her 11 chil dren I They were very young,"were old Mother Grouse's children; and they" hadn't yet learned to fly. And they were, all on the ground, with the proud old lady in their midst. Tommy Fox was so pleased that he almost laughed out loutl. He tidbit for dinner a rabbit, perhaps, or maybe a squirrel. He wasn't quite sure what it would' be. be cause you know when hunting you have to take what you f ind -if you can catch it. Tommy Fox hadn't been long in the woods before he had even bet ter luck than he 'had expected. He was creeping through a thicket, making no noise at all, when what should he see but tnat sly old tried to keep still; but he couldn't help snickering a little. And old Mother Grouse heard .him. She For a moment. 1 was too startled to answer him. What could I say to him, I asked myself. I knew that Lillian emphatically did not agree with Edith's theory, but on the other hand I had no inkling beyond my own fantastic guesses as to the di rection in which my friend's investi gations were leading her. In my quandary I temporized. "I have no theory myself, Dicky. And as to Lillian I fancy she has one, she generally does, but she hasn't told me what it is." He looked" at me again, the,n drew something from, his pocket, some thing which I recognized with a lit tle gasp. , . "You'd better give this to Lil," hi said, "and tell her to add ito th collection." . . , "This" was a small leather-framed photograph of myself which I had given to Dicky long ago. Through the leather of the frame and across the face of the photograph itself were ugly slashes.

But instead of tear ing off out of danger, she lighted on the ground quite near Tommy. "How stupid of her!" he thought. "I'll just catch the old lady firs.t. and then get the youngsters afterr warct They can't flyaway." So Tommy made a leap for old Mother Grouse. He just missed her. She rose in the nick of time and slipped away from him. But she didn't fly far. So Tommy followed. And he stole . up very slyly; and once more, when he was quite near the old lady, he sprang at her. 1 was really very annoying. For again old Mother Grouse just escaped. Again she flew a little further away, lighted on the ground, and seemed to forget that Tommy Fox was so near.. .That same thing happened as many as a dozen times, And the 12th time that Mrs. Grouse rose before one of Tommy's rushes she didn't come down again. She lighted in a tree. And since it appeared to Tommy that she had no inten tion of leaving her safe perch, he gave up in disgust. He was very angry because he hadn't caught old Mother Grouse. But there was her family! He would get them the whole 11 of them! And he turned back toward the place where he had first come upon them. Now, sly old Mother Grouse had played a trick on Tommy Fox. If he had just left her alone he could have caught every one of her chil dren. But she had tempted him to follow her. And every time she rose from the! ground and flew a short distance, she led Tommy further away from her little ones. - Tommy had some trouble in find ing the exact spot where he had stumbled upon Mrs. Grouse and her children. But he found it again, at last. And little good it did him; for not a trace of those 11 young grouse could he discover. They had all disappeared every single one of them! They knew what to do when their mother led Tommy Fox away. Each of them found a safe hiding place. Some of them burrowed be neath the fallen leaves;1 some of them hid behind old stumps; some of them crept into a hollow log. And try as he would, Tommy Fo was unable to findso much as one downy feather. He was so , disappointed and so aclinrnpri that lif uvnf linmp anrl stayed there. But he had learned j something. Yes! Tommy , Fqx knew that if he ever met old Mother Grouse and her family again he would catch her children first. Afterward he would iry to capture the sly old lady herself. But he didn't believe, just then, that he would ever be able to catch her. You sec, Tommy realized that he wasn't quite so clever as he had thought.

"Maudy," or as it is sometimes called, "Shere Thursday," is known on the ccclesistical calendar as "Holy Thursday," the day before Good Fri day, .the day on which, is com memorated the Las Supper with the Apostles. The word "Maundy' comes through the old French mandc from the Latin mandatum, meaning a command, the reference being to the words of Christ tit the LasrSupper: "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another." ... . In early Christian times the chief religious rite performed on Jhis day was the washing of the feet of poor persons or inferiors by the priest, the prelate or some noble of the com munity, as an act of humiliation and penance, a custom which still sur vives in certain sections where the Roman or Greek Catholic church is the official religion. Up until the 16th century every charity boy at ihe Durham cathedral in England had his face washed by a, monk, and every monk then kissed the feet of a boy, and give him 30 pence, seven red herring, three loaves of bread, a wafer cake and something to drink. While the ceremony of washing the feet of the poor has been grad ually abandoned, it is still the custom in many places to make Maundy Thursday a day of alms-giving, a practice which has led to the erron eous statement that "Maundy" is de rived from the' French word for basket, supposedly on account cf the fact that the alms were doled out-oj large baskets carried on the arm.
