Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison's Nev- PhtM of
Revelations of a Wife
The Amendment Lillian Made to
Madge's Suggertion.
Had Dicky brought back success
or failure from his attempt to get
back the house he had sold so im
petuously? The. question, the ans
wer to which meant so much to me,
beat upon my excited brain a
1 stole noiselessly through the cur
tains of the alcove and began to put
on the dess I bad discarded for my
rap. I m-? certain that I had mw..
1:0 souno hich would rouse Lillian,
but her tice sounded clearly, witli
mocking ,ischief in it, from the
bed: f
' "Please, ma'am, may I get up
now?"
I went to the windows, drew up
the shade., and looked at her criti
cally. "You do look rested,'r I comment
ed. "But I wish you could have
slept longer. What wakened Vou?
Dicky's car, or I?" '
"Neither. I really am not a mem
ber of the famous seven, even if I
do act like it sometimes. have been
awake for several minutes, just rev
elling in this scented darkness. How
well those corsage bouquets of sweet
peas have kept! I ve been sn.ffift.s5
their fragrance ever since I woke up.
You're a wonder, my dear. I shall
be so spoiled I won t know how to
do anything when I get back homa
again.
"Dicky would say . there was a 'fat
chance' of ever spoiling you," I re
torted. "I'll permit you to get up
on one condition that vou let me
bring you a cup of hot milk before
you come downstairs.
"You're a Wonder."
"One would think" Lillian began
a bit indignantly, then laughed in
dulgently. "But I. promised to be
good, didn't I. However, please let
me make this amendment. As soon
as I get dressed I'll go down to the
kitchen and get the hot milk from
Katie." '
There was an inflection . ii he
voice that warned me not to' carry
my "babying", of her too far, and
I hastily assented to her "amend
ment" .
"Of course, if you'd rather," I
said hastily. "And then do come
and help me calm down Dicky if he
hasn't succeeded in getting back the
house. I do hope he has."
"You little " Lillian began with
an amused laugh, then she sudden
ly switched from the epithet I felt
she meant playfully to give me to a
crisp. "Well, he hasn't!" turned front
me to the mirror and' began putting,
up her hair. .
. My cheeks burned as I maje my
way downstairs. With something
less than her usual tactfulness, Lil
lian almost had signified her know
ledge of my real feeling toward
Dicky's errand. That she had guessed
also, the reason for that feeling I was
-sure, and the Knowledge made me
uncomfortable. My foolish jealousy
of Edith Fairfax was a feeling I was
not willing for even so true a friend
as Lillian to discover.
I met Dicky in the hall. A glance
at his face told me he was in a bad
humor, so I forbore to question him.

itheon ready""" "Ti snapped
-4t the words curtly. "I'm nearly
carved." i
"H ought to be nearlv ready," I
' replied sedately. "I'll ask Katie."
. I escaped as quickly as I could
to the kitchen. I have been long
enough married, thoroughly to have
tested the time-honored rule of
"feed the brute." I resolved to im
press Katie as tactfully as possible
with the necessity of hurrying up
the luncheon. . -
"Mr. Graham has just come home
very tired and hungry, Katie," I
began. -
Sure. I know dot, Katie replied,
putting some chops on the broiler J
with haste. "I heard heem bang door

I forget sometimes that . Katie's
experience of Dicky's moods an
tedates my own, that she once did
the housework of an apartment
Dicky shared with three other art
ists. Bttt it is something of which
Katie is quite innocently proud, and
her manner as she spoke of his foi
bles wis ludicrously but distinctly
maternal..
"Is there anything I can do?" I
asked unwilling to meet Dicky again
until he was . safely settled at the
luncheon table with food before him.

from mv excited imaginings of the
result of Dicky's expedition.

CHAPTER X.
Mrs. Fox Outwits Dbg Spot.
Poor Tommy Fox I How he

Green's hen house 1 Now Farmer
And Spot kept drawing nfearcn
and nearer. " v
Green's dog Spot was chasing him.
Tommy could hear him vhaying joy
fully as he followed. Bu you may
be sure that Tommy wasnot joyful.
He was terribly frightened. He
could think of nothing to do ex
cept to run, run, run! as fast as he
could go. He was headed straight
for-home, and he only hoped , that
he would get there before the dog
Spot caught him. .
Now, Tommy was doing just
about the worst thing he could do.
He never once jumped sideways, or
ran around in a circle. jncr6b0USn
he mieht have waded aAn,,i- ..v in

where Spot would have lost his trail.
Tommy used the bridge to get
across the stream; so the dE Spot
had no trouble. at all in following
him. And Spot kept rawing nearer
and nearer.
It happened that Mrsvtox heard
the baying of the dog. And she
knew what Spot was saying. He was
crying "I've almost got him! I've
almost got him!" "
A shiver passed over Mrs. Fox;
for she thought at once of Tommy.
He was" not at hpme, and she
wondered if by any chance he was
in trouble. She hurried through theL
field to see who it was that Spot
was chasjng. And sure .enough!

Mrs. Fox 'hastened to meet him.
The dog Spot was then on the other

FOX
his mother had always (old him. So
he gave a long leap to one side.
"Now make a big circle, and jump
again. Then go home!" That
was all Mrs. Fox had time to say.
She stopped just long enough to fee
Tommy dash off; and then she
started right in the opposite direc
tion. ,
- The dog Spoltsaw her and gave a
yelp of delight. He did not know
what had been happening. He only
thought that no he was going to
catch the foxi which was the
stupidest fox he had ever chased,
running, as ' it did, . straight away,
with never a leap; or a circle, or any
other sort of trick to fool him.
Little did Spot guess that old Mrs:
Fox had not the slightest idea of
being caught. Sha had been fol
lowed by Spot himself many times;
and she knew exactly how to escape
him.. She jusf lingered for a few
moments, to make sure that Tommy
was safe,, and that ..pot was chasing
her. And then how she did run!
In no time at all she left Spot far
behind. V '
Now, Mrs. FoiL knew that there
was a ploughed ftfld nearby, and
that was just what lie wanted. She
scampered towards lfeat great speed
and went straight acVss it. . And
when sfie had reached ie other side
of the ploughed groun , she sat
down for a short breathing spell.
You see, Mrs. Fox wa: very wise
indeed.. She knew thatfj. in dry
weather, such as there .vfk then, a
ploughed field takes no scljit at all.
She knew' that when Spofe reached
that loose dirt Spot could rkt smell
her footsteps. And so she sjust sat
there on her haunches, andlcaught
her breath again. V
A grim smilecrossed Mrs! Fox's
i'ww aiWestAstesg jaw,
in the distance. It was a very dit-
ferentr bark from what she had heard '
when he was chasing Tommy. This
time Spot was saying, Oh, dear!
oh.'dearf I've lost him" over and
over again - - ' '
When Mrs. t ox reached home she
found Tommy safe inside their
housp. He was crying, because he
was afraid he would never see his
mother again. And after his mother
found out how Spot had happened
to chase him,. Tommy cried some
more but for an entirely different
reason. '
Who can guess what the reason
was? : '

These superstitions are survival;'
from the ancient cult of Juno to
