i 12 Holding a Husband Allele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife The News That Dicky Reluctantly Told. 1 v.j j nib'uing a chilled bowl with a clove of gaeV, my invariable preparation fur a French salaj dressing when Lilli.;n entered the Kitchen. 1 l.ncv. that she had cone in obedience Ij my prescription of a cup of hot mil!; after Vcr nafl, and 1 hastened to absolve her. "I'll let yon off that." 1 laughed. "I didn't know how near luncheon nine it was when 1 issued my tilti uialuiu.'' , "Merci. niadame !' Jihe came switt 1 toward me, nitlinar disdainfully. "You. and our garlic!" laughed. I take oh my hat to yon, Madge. It fives just the riKht taste to tlie circling 1 love your dress ingsbut. I wouldn't handle the sail: on a bet.. It is one of my pet ieii,ui- But 1 have a dcep r.. iett ior it. Jut rubbhig a bovl that way invests the whole dressing uiih jusl the right proportionate Mayor. "I usually do something more than that," 1 confessed. "W hen the dress ing is linished I pour it into the half oi a Rreen pepper which contains the seeds, and into which I have slipped a bit of garlic. When I drain the dressing niter live or 10 minute ii has traces of both the pepper seeds and the garlic." , As I talked I measured salt, pep per, cayenne, paprika and dry mus tard, stirred them together, added olive oil, and finally lemon Juice, very slow !'. 'So that's the secret oi that dress ing ot yours," Lillian commented. "I've scon you put the stuff into the green pepper, but never noticed .the jtarlic. Well, you're certainly justi fied! Did you see Dicky?" "Yes. I think, he's gone to wash up for luncheon. want to gef it on ilii" table as soon as I can." Lillian Riinned coniprehendingly. "Wise lady," she murmured. '"Is there anything 1 can do;" "I think not." 1 linished the salad, and turned to Katie. "We're ready whenever vou arv. Katie." "I've Been so Lonesome." "Dcsc chops, dey fecx pretty )iieeek now," she returned. "You '. get everybody to table, den I serve." ' Lillian followed me to the little i lavatory on the lower floor, where, with a handhrush and much scrub bing I removed the traces of thv garlic from my fingers. ' "You don't know what Dickx found out, I infer," she said anx iottsly. "I didn't dare to ask him," J, con fessed, smiling. i "Then it's all right he didn't sue ! cecd. T.itt I'm dying to hear the ; story of his encounter with that i woman if he'll only tell the truth I about it." ' , As we came back into the dtnitia I jooju we louna uickv declaiming impressively to, Marion, while the child giggled appreciatively. "I certainly shall begin luncheon on you." he was saying, "if Katie ioesn"t hurry up. It will grieve me terribly, but" "Then you'll be just like the wal itis, I nrle Dicky!" Marion exclaim ed delightedly. Don't vou remem ber" She caught sight of her mother, and with Lewis Carroll forgotten, dashed across the room to her. "I've been so lonesome, Mumsie." she said with her arms around Lil lian's waist. "Katie said vou were busy writing, so I didn't come near you. That's my own sweetheart." I heard Lillian murmur, "and vou shan't be away from me another minute today if you don't wish to." "Everything Is Forgiven." "As if I'd wish to." the child re turned, lookino- mi at lier lace with an adoration equalled only by Lillian's returned look. I shiv ered a bit at, this glimpse of the unusually intense interdependence of the mother and child, for my con cern over Lillian prompted the men tal question. "Suppose something should happen?" Katies entrance with the dinner wagon was a most welcome diver sion. Marion sprang ro pull out her mother's chair, an otlice which she relinquishes only, on formal occa sons. Dicky performed the same service .(or me, and we Averc soon discussing with relish Dicky, - at least, with avidity Katie's appctu- . iug viands. ' I here was very little conversation during the meal, and (bat perfunc tory, but when Dicky had disposed oi a second baked apple with cream the last course of the luncheon lie eyed Lillian and me with "a re luctant grin. "Strange what a good meal will do for a disposition," he said. "When 1 Came in today I could have shewed tip one perfectly good wife without any compunction, although 1 must admit with some reason. But now everything is forgiven. . You are restored to my tieart, Madge. . You are also avenged of any little annoyances I may have caused vou. I've been interviewing that Jezebel who is to be your successor as mis tress of this house, and. believe you inc. I'm glad J escaped with my life!" I made no reply whatever to -this speech, so (earful was 1 that Dicky might twist it into some toTm. of the "I told you so" with which he eo often twisted me. - Lillian stepped into the breach with a drawling comment: "I may infer, then, that the lady iidn't look with any favor upon a j proposal to turn back the house?" For a second or two the face ' 'jcky turned toward her held a black kov.! of irritation. But the next in stant it had vanished and ad given place to a broad grin. "Your inference is eminently cor- . rect. The only thing that dame was looking tor was a shotgun or a bottle of vitriol, although the devil l-.nows her tongue held enough dis tilled essence of the latter commod ity to fill a gallon can.

It is also a protection against fatigue and con tagious diseases, but only an un broken piece of it acts as a talisman; tt broken, its powers are lost. ine natal stone ot those born on an anniversary of this day is the ! amethyst; it endows its wearers, with j good sense, and counteracts a' ten dency toward ffivolousness. and also has curative powers.

And just for excitement Tommy began to worry Farmer Green's Spot. le delighted in barking at Spot. And Spot would alvvavs stop what he was doing and rush pell mell after Tommy Fox. Then Tommy would skip away with a laugh. First he always ran for the river, and jumped from one stone to another, and waded where the water was shallow. Then he would dash off through the meadows, leaving so crooked a trail behind him that when Spot at last found the place where Tommy had left the I river, he never could follow him very ! far. But one day Tommy stumbled upon Spot quite by accident. There was 110 wind at all that day to bring any scent to Tommy's sharp nose. And he suddenly found that Spot was right in front of him, between him and the river. Tommy Fox turned and ran. He laughed, too; because he felt quite sure that he could outwit old Spot. And he leaped and twisted and turned about, and njade so many circles that he felt sure Spot couldn't follow him. Yes Tommy felt so rsafe that he stopped running and was trotting slowly along through the field in which he lived. He was almost home, when he heard a noise behind him.
