Never Discus* a Husband** Short
comings—Not Even With Relati ve*
*I’HE train pulled o'ut. Sly husbard
• was off to rescue my rival. I
survived the ordeal of the departure
with a brave smile, but it changed
to a bitter smile when I thought that,
the ordeal being over, there was no
hurt left in life which I could not
survive. Jimmy-boy took my arm
and suggested that we walk back to
the hotel. Jim has acquired a most
understanding heart since he enter
ed the air service. He is quieter
than he used to be, and seems al
most too old for the boy he really is,
m years. The change, I suppose, is
due to flying, almost daily, he gam
bles with death.
Jim had the sense not to touch
upon the tension between Bob and
me. And although my heart was
breaking, although I would have rev
eled in an unlimited amount of sym
pathy, I didn’t refer to my differ
ences with my husband.
The first rule of my own little code
for wives is that they must never
discuss a husband’s short-comings,
aot even with relatives. The corol
lary is, I suppose, that they must nev
er listen to the complaints other wom
en make about their husbands!
Jim rather over-pretended in his
little effort to comfort me. He
prophesied a speedy return of the
search party after a successful ad
venture.
I believed in the success rather
than in the speed of the expedition. I
jealousy pictured a prolonged picnic
jaunt—a delightful camping party on
the Lorimer property after the res
cue! 'lt might last a month—and
how Katherine Miller would enjoy it!
And it wasn’t fair—the men were
not fair—they had been shocked at
the idea that I wanted to go along!
“Jimmy-boy! Let’s fly down that
way,” I pleaded.
“Cut the teasing, Jane ’’ command
ed my brother-in-law. “I told you
once, my dear, that absodamlutely I
wouldn’t take that bus over the
mountains. But I’ll take you up—
tomorrow—for your first flying les
son, Sissy I*'
Jim went on to explain that he

so conveniently near.
“But where am I to get a railroad
spike in Topsy-Turvy Land?” went
on the ostrich. “I don’t believe there’s
even a railroad here, much less a
spike—no, I mean that I don’t be-I
sieve there is a spike here, much less I

Oh, well, it doesn’t matter. The thing
is, what am I to eat?” And the os

how fast he was thinking.

■ had scraped Texas over for mechan
ics and that he had collected a bunch/
, Most of the men had been employed
, on government aviation fields. They
[ were experts and corking fine fel
, lows, too. One had been a “flying
1 sergeant. " He must see “Serg." at
; once and set the hour for my lesson
1 next day. The bus had once had a
1 dual control system. Undoubtedly
- “Serg” could supply an extra joy-
• stick.
I suggested that Jim leave me at
• a souvenir shop about a block from
> the hotel. I wanted to buy a toy
> for Babs. But new toys are hard
■ to find for a child who has as many
as Babs owns. When at last I left
i the shop with my package, it was
I dark. Though I had but a block to
! walk, though there was quite a crowd
• in the street, 1 felt afraid.
By some strange sense, I realized
• that I was being trailed. I felt rath
er than saw that a half-breed was
' following only a step behind me. I
■ had seen the man hanging arcfund the
, station. I clutched my purse sup
posing that, it was what he wanted.
I ran my arm through the long leath
er handle and twisted the strap be
tween my fingers. I was determined
> not to lose the bag. It contained the
notes Katherine Miller had written
to Bob.
“Senora!” said the Indian in my
ear. He spoke softly, but I jumped
' and turned ;t very scared face fo
rward him. As if to reassure me, the
man murmured, “Meeses Lorimer!”
I Then he pushed a piece of paper into
!my hand and drifted away with the
i passing crowd.
j I hurried into the lighted lobby of
J the hotel, gave the soiled envelope a
! single glance, and knew that in spite
of my decision to have done forever
with adventure, a new episode, per
haps one involving great danger—
was beckoning to me.
Never can I forget my emotion as
I ran up to my room to tear the con
tents from that note.
It was written in the peculiar and
elegant back-hand of Katherine Mil
ler.
(To be continued.)
“I’ve got it!” he cried. “If I can’t
get a spike I’ll have to find some
thing that looks like one. What was
that thing that I saw around here a
few minutes ago, that pushed me and
told me to wake up?”
“Oh, that’s our Magical Mush
room cned Nancy in ala’ - m. “You
wouldrt’t eat it!”
But she was too late. Before she
could stoop to put their little fairy
friend into her pocket, the ostrich
made a quick dive with his beak and
gulp—the Mushroom was gone! All
they could see of it was the big lump
that kept going further and further
down the ostrich’s long neck.
“Oh, you naughty bird!” cried
Nick. “You’ve eaten our best friend.
Now, we’ll never find our monkey.”
But what the ostrich replied soun
ed exactly like bird talk; the twins
couldn’t make out a word. The Mush
room was not there to help them un
derstand, you know.
