12 TH"K PEE: UMAHA. m.MY, APRIL S. 1021. Holding a Husband Adele Garrison' New Phsst of Revelations of a Wife THE GUMPS A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE Drawn for The Bee by Sidney Smith. (Copyrisht. 1V21. by Chicago Tribune Co.) The Way Katia Intensified Madge'a Own Ubtasiness. As the mtiooi colorless teminine voice came over tha telephone to me I was conscious of an unaccountable feeling of resentment, though I knew that I should have been rejoiced and grateful at this unexpected oppor tunity to inspect a property assured to be 'iuit the right thing." "From where are you speaking?" I asked a t.vfle coldly. "From Hempstead." "I suppose a real estate oiTfice?" "So, ttvieed. This is a privite res idence. I m speaking for the owner, Mr. Osborne." .There was a dis tinct pause before the last name, and ' I was sure tliat l naa caugm mc vind or a whisner nrompting the voice. "She has decided only today to put her home upon the market, and heard of your desire to buy, onlv accidentally from a fsiend whose - Itouse you looked at some tin ago." Again I received the impression ot whispered prompting. "Mrs. Osborne does not wish to deal through real estate agents. She thinks she can save both you and herrlf tho commissions if you should decide to t ike the property. Hie has to go out of town tonight for several days, and wonders if you could pos sibly run -,vcr to see the pl.':ce this afternoon." . "1 nuii-t know something about the place first," I said, still v.ith the unaccountable feeling of resentment strong upon me. "How fnany room has it? How much ground How iar trom I lie ranrodu .nauui.. "I can tc II you all about .t in a crv few minutes." the voice replied, and then ti.ere follow'd the cescrip tion of a i roperty which might have been copied from a list of cur re quirements. I should have felt my enthusiasn rising as I listcnco. U-cation-evctything-it mig;t hay been made to order, and yet I could not down an unaccountable reluc tance to tfo to the place. With .1 strong effort I summoned my common sense' to the . rescue, making u- only answer posyblc. "I .half be verv glad to come to fee it." I .said, "You may expect nie in an hour, possibly less." ..ti.,.,1, vmi. One other thing, ',c voice was hesitant again. Mrs. Of borne is an old lady and extreme ly nervous. She does not like o meet people. That is one reason she has not put the place in an agent s hands she could not bear, to sei a lot of ttrange faces. So if you will come by yourself ' , "Of course," I returned coldly. Then I asked and received minute instructions for finding the place, and turned from the telephone, fighting an absurd little doubt which lad sounded in my brain like the ringing of a tiny psychic bell deep in my consciousness. "Come by yourself" the words echoed in my ears for a long min ute while I stood irresolute. Then, with' a self-scoring laugh I went back to my room, made a leasurely toilet, for I was tod tired to hurry, and I had purposely named an hour's interval before going to toe ptace in order to avoid any haste. I ; met Katie corning from hef rooms at the .back a' I went toward the rear stairs when I had finishel dressing. , ,.' "Vy vou no call mc ven you vakc oop?" ,shs 'asked feproacht;:lly, "I tmk I only lie me down shoost five ten minutes I tell dot Jcem to vake me, tind de next ting I know 1 hear you talk at. telephone. Dot Jcem he pounding his ear yet." "Why should I call you. Katie?" 1 returned. "I did not need you. everything is done, and you and jim, I know, must have been very tired. ' i.ru going out now 10 look at a house winch 1 have just hearu nf in Hempstead. Will you tell Mrs. Durkee where. I've gone and I think you'd better help her with the dinner again tonight." "Sure, I feex," Katie replied with her fixed formula. "But Meesis Graham, y.ou goin'" all atone to dot house?" . "Of course. Katie," I returned a bit impatiently. . . , "I no like dot," she said disap provingly. , . The consciousness of my own vague feeling on the subject made me resentful of her advice. "How perfectly absurd. Katie," I said. "I'm not a child and I'm used to the car. What on earth couli happen to me on the road to Hemp stead?" "I no tinking of vot could happen on road," Kati'e went on. "It no good going alone to houses "you don't know notings about." "You've been attending too many movies. Katie." 1 laughed lightly. Her face took on a sullen look. . "You laugh now." she said sul lenly.. "Maybe,, before you come back, you laugh on odcr side of your face." (Continued Tomorrow.)

Pavinsr a Call on a Friend. Mr. Crow had dared Tommy Fox to go down to pay a call on ins friend dog Spot, at Farmer Green's place. And Jommy was trotting alona: across the fields. He was ouite near Farmer Green's house when he heard a dog bark not far awaw "There's Spot now!" Tommy said to himself, .nd he turned at once ' ." 1F ' : .ommon Dense And the strange docj was floundering in the cold w&tex in the direction of the barking. He was smiling, for he knew Spot would be greatly pleased to see him, and very much surprised, too. , Tommy stole slyly up toward the place where the dog . was barking. The sound came from beyond some bushes. And Tommy thought he would jump out from behind the bushes-and startle Spot. So he crept up to the bu.ihes and then suddenly gave a yelp and leaped clean over them. It was Tommy Fox himself who got the surprise. For there was a strange' dog! " And as soon as he saw Tommy he sprang after him. Tommy did not wait a second. He left that place a great deal faster than he came. And as he went skimming over the fields, a red streak against the brown stubble, be could hear Mr. Crow laughing heartily. The old fellow sailed along high over Tommy's head, to see what happened; and he was greatly pleased with himself. You see, h? knew that farmer Greens hired man had brought home a new dog just a few days before, and Mr. Crow Jioped that if Tommy- went to the farm-yard he would meet the 6trnge dog. Tommy was very angry. He. saw at 'once that old Mr. Crow had tricked him and he made up his mind that if he ever had a chance he. would get even with the old gentle man. But now he had no time to think about that. There was that strange dog, following hot on his trail. Tommy had quite enough to worry him without bothering his head over Mr. Crow just then. , Now, even if Tommy Fox was conceited, he was really a very bright youngster. And as he bounded along he thought of a pretty clever trick to play on that dog. Xhe idea came to him all at once. And as j soon as the thought popped into- his h?ad. Tommy turned toward Swift j river. He was at the bank in 'no Do You Know the Bible? How Do You Treat The Wife? By J. J. MUNDY. Mr. Married Man, why so dis courteous to your wife in public or at any time? Passengers in a street car f?lt sorry for a little woman who asked her husband about the street at which they were to alight. In an angry tone, and one which could be heard all over the car, he said: "Don't you know it is two streets farther on? As long as you have lived here I should think you would know that." -' T'ears came to the eyes of the wo man and it was evident that she had difficulty in preventing herself from crying: J . There were men in the car who would have liked to have given that husband a severe drubbing. Don't be one of those men who think because) a woman has agreed to spend the remainder of her life with you that you have a right to treat her as you would an inferior, as someone to whom you are riot expected to be kind and courteous. There should be enough to mar ried life to make ii happy and agree able. There should be a desire to make one considerately polite. It is genuine pleasure to see a married couple who still have smiles for each other and who seem to en joy each other's company. CWKiiM .

And you might think he was disappoint ed. But lie wasn't. He found ex actly what he had hoped for. He could see no water running, down there in the bed of the river, be cause the river was covered with ice. It was just a thin shell of ice; but it was strong enough to bear Tom my s weight. iit ran across it quickly. And then what do you suppose he did? He sat right down on the opposite bank! Tommy Fox wanted to see the fun. He had to wait only a minute. For pretty soon the strange dog came rushing down 4 the opposite bank of the river and leaped far cut from the edge of the stream. There was a crash, and a spiittmjr. crackling noise! And the strange dog was floundering in the cold water. The ice was notthick enough to hold him up, and be had liard work to scramble back, to the bank again. JJut lie climbed out ot the water at last, and tucked his tail between his legs and made off..

That pork killed during the wane of the moon shrinks unduly in cook ing is stated by the American Folk Lore society to be-a general super stition in thu United States. We haVe lieie something of the magic of association the waning moon the waning pork but the supersti tion appears to be mainly an in heritance of those ideas which, since the- moon-goddess was first wor shipped, have connected the differ ent phases of the moon with ter cstrial affairs. But why is the pig selected as the animal whose flesh would shrink in cooking if killed in the wane of the moon, it may be asked. Hero 'dotus answers that when he states that it was unlawful to sacri fice a pig to any god but the moon and.Cacchus and then only at the full moon. And except on these occasions people were forbidden to eat of its flesh. We kill a pig to cat its pork we -sacrifice to the moon. But 'the moon is not full we have sacri ficed unlowfully. Something will happen to that pork therefore. What? The moon is waning the numbered ages the belief that the pork will shrink and he believes it to he a fact.
