Holding a Husband
Adtl Garrison's N Phass el
Revelation of a Wife
How Mtdgt Responded to Lillian's
Ortit NMd.
With a tingle startled glance at
my motiirr-in-Uw 1 flew pt her
into the little hall and down the
Main to the lifting room, where
Robert Savarin awaited me.
He walked restlessly up and
down the room when I entered, and
I iw that his face was white and
drawn with anxiety,
"Lillian I" I exclaimed appre
heniively, as he turned and saw me.
"Is She worse? Or Marion?"
. He came up to me swiftly, took
my hands in his reassuringly, and
bent above them with the reverent
courtesy which never deserts him,
even in moments of stress.
"Not worse," he said, and I saw
that he had not even heard my
query concerning Marion. His whole
soul was wrapped up in Lillian's con
dition. .."But she is quite dis
turbed over something in which
she believes you can help her, and
she has asked to see you. I must
tell you that the nurse only con
sented to my coming for you when
she had seen that a refusal would af
fect Lillian more unfavorably than
the excitement of seeing you. I am
afraid Miss Jones considers Lillian's
condition to be more serious than I
have suspected. I would never
have-"
An Eager Question.
He broke off abruptly as he saw a
little involuntary movement of im
patience on my part. I was wild
to get to Lillian, and I guessed what
the rest of his sentence was. Moved
by his great love and his desire to
protect her, I surmised that he had
pressed her unduly to give him the
promise he had asked so long, that
as soon as the lent bonds holding
her to Harry Underwood could be
severed, she would marry him, and
so give him the right to care for her
self and Marion. It was a promise
that I was anxious to have her make,
for I knew that happiness for my
sorely tried friend could be given her
only by the man who stood before
me, but I was angry at the mas
culi blindness which had led him
to insist upon her answer when she
was in no condition to make any de
cision, "You can come at once?" he asked
with a touch of formality.
"This minute," I returned. "The
car is in the driveway. If you'll get
in I'll speak to my mother-in-law."
She was already in the doorway,
and I gave her a hasty word of ex
planation as I put on my hat and
coat, and hurried out of the door.
Withthe swift, comforting rise to
an emergency which she is always
sure to exhibit, there was no hint
of carping - or. . irritation . in . her
manner. ? ' ' :
Marion's Plea.
"Stay as long as you' need," she
said. "I will ' look after everything
here. And Jf you should ' wish to
stay the night " I'll have your bag
ready if you send a messenger for
it." ; ' . '
"You're such a comfort, mother,"
I said, as I kissed her goodby, with
a thankful thought that my little
lad was asleep, and' so .would not
fret at my going. '- ? ' . : . . j
"I hoDe I know,how to be detent;"
she replied grimly, and then ;Robert

edinr toward the hospital.
Miss Tones met us at the door of
Lillian's room. She drew me aside,
motioning Robert Savarin to go- on
in. v', ' ' :'... ,:
"Mrs. Graham", l am at my wit's
end," . she said frankly. "Something
is going on 'here that I cannot
understand. There is no reason why
both my patients should not be get
ting stronger, but the child is fret
ting herself into a-fever over some
thing, and Mrs'v Underwood is evi
dently under some intense nervous
strain which is wearing her out. I
would forbid Mr. Savarin's visits,
only I have no ground for thinking
that he is concerned in any ; way
with their condition. It is something
that lies between the child and the
mother, , I think, and I have
wondered if you could not help me.
I hate to separate them, and yet "
"I will see ' what I can do," I
promised hastily, walking swiftly
into the room, and Miss Jones
closed the door behind met shutting
herself out. 1
"Madge, deaf,"! am so glad."
Lillian's voice was faint with
weakness, and the worn look upon
her face made mjr heart ache. Yet
there was relief in her tones, and
something else absolute -dependence.
It . was as if she had found
herself unable to cope with what
ever problem .confronted hat, and
had invoked my aid. I straightened
myself involuntarily, crossed to her,
and kneeling py her side, put my
arms around her, gently, but with
"I am here to stay as long as you
wish, to do whatever you wish,' . I
said earnestly;
Marion'a " shrill 'treble answered
me.
"Then,' oh, 'Auntie Madge, make
her say shell let me have Uncle
Robert for my father 1" she cried.
'.'Look at her 1" Lillian whispered,
for I was between her and, the child.
"She has been pleading that way
for days."
' I followed her glance to the child's
flushed face and strained eyes. It
was not like Maion to be shrill and
insistent, and I guessed that with
her unchildish, almost uncanny in
tuition, she. had read her mother's
heart and her need of Robert
Savarin, and that she was bending
all her enegies to sway her mother
to the decision she wished. But a
searching glance at Lillian's pallid
face made me fear that the strain
of her child's urging had been most
injurious to her.

AT THE MOVIES
Behold the lovely heroine, who trembles on the stair
Irl some vile alum, with terror numb,
While through the door the villain! come,
The lady being much too dumb
To flee away from there.
But aeel the handsome hero crouch upon the mantel shelf.
He'll save her, though she lack the wit to do the job herself!
One villain sees the hero, and his face grows dark and grim.
He criea. "You cur, you can't save her!
I'll shoot you if you dare stir,"
And does the gentleman demurf
Oht futile hopel Not him!
Exuding hate at every pore, the villian murmers, "Oof 1"
And with a heavy anvil smites the hero on the roof.
This irritates the hero; he aits up and rubs his head,
He snaps his jaws, a gun he draws:
Ensues a tense and breathless pause, ' ,
' And then, regardless of the laws
He shoots the dastard dead!
The villain bites the stairway with a deprecating sneer.
His evil pals duck their heads, and swiftly disappear.
Although our fine dramatic taste full frequently we vaunt,
Though such a show we say is low,
You notice that we always go,
Because the movie writers know
Exactly what we want.
These scenes of crime and violence we eagerly sit through,
And watch with thrilling: hearts the deeds that we're afraid to da!

Common Sense
, - By J. J. MUNDY, ..
Can You Stand Disappointment. .
Are you one of those fellows that
always want to be let in on the
ground floor if anything good or of
material advantage is in effect, but
want to be counted distinctly but if
the tide turns the other, way? 1
In other words, are you. a good
sport?
It is just in such little ways that
the really fine and big and broad of
mind is found out.
.The little person writhes and turns
and twists visibly and audibly when
things do not suit him.
The person worth while, the born
and bred in the bone gentleman or
lady never . by look or gesture
acknowledges defeat.
It is how well can you take disap
pointing failure which proves your
worthiness of success and often turns
the smallest, the most modest begin
nings into overwhelming victory, r.
But the captain of victory - never
makes a wry face.
There is nothing more annoying
than the would-be . sympathetic
friend who thinks he sees downfall
and who tries to be one of the
mourners. v ,'
Nothing succeeds like a spirit
which turns a dauntless face to the
sun. ,

WHY.
Is September So Named?
To find the answer to this question
we have to go back to the same
source that gave us the reason for
the, 31 days in August the changes
made in the calendar by Julius and
Augustus Caesar.
,Jt was the former of these Ro
man emperors who, in 45 B. C, first
reformed' the calendar by ordering
that every year whose date number
is exactly divisible by four contain
366 days and all the other years 365
days.' Under this method of reckon
ing every other month except f eb
ruary was given 31 days, a system
which was .altered when Augustus
Caesar proclaimed that the month
named in his honor (August) should
have as many days as that named
in honor of julius Caesar- (July),
taking the necessary day from Feb
ruary, already the shortest month of
all. .. .
But Julius Caesar made another
change in the calendar which Au
gustus Caesar did not alter. He
moved the beginning of the', year
from the first of March to the first
of January, thus upsetting the num
bering of the months as they had
previously occurred. ' Under the for
mer calendar, beginning with March,
September was the seventh month
and it was so. called, despite the
change which" made it the ninth
month just as October - was the
eighth month, retaining its title
notwithstanding ;.the . fact that the
Julian calendar made it the 10th.
