' The Revelations of a Wife
. A New Story of Married Life.
By Adele Garrison.
“DICKYBIRD” REFUSES.

“nd me so freely and cynically, rus
tied out the dressing room, leaving
me absolutely stunned. 1 felt sud
deniy faint, and the room appeared to
whirl around me. The mawd (ouched
me on the arm.
“Are you ill, madame? Here!”™ and
she held a glass of water to my lips.
1 drank part of it and motioned her
away.
“I'll be all right in a moment,” 1
murmured. “Thank you, but I am
quite well.”
«Bo this was what marriage would
mean to me, a contest with another
woman for my husband’'s love! A
fierce angeér took possession of me.
One moment | regretted my marriage
to Dicky, the next I was fiercely
primitive as any savage woman in
my desire to crush my rival. I could
have strangled Lillian Gale in that
moment. Then common sense came
back to me, What was it that woman
bad said? I had all the best cards in
my hand? Well! 1 would play them,
I felt sure that Dicky loved fme. I
would not jeopardize that love for a
temporary pride. 1 would eliminate
Lillian Gale from Dicky's life, but 1
would bide my time to do it |
Fortunately my mending had been
practically finished when I heard
Dicky's name. 1 took the final
stitches, tipped the ‘maid as I returned
her sewing things, and turning to the
mirror, rubbed my cheek fiercely with
R towel to restore their color. The
maid offered me rogue, but I waved
her away impatiently. Thank heaven
I did not need to fight Lillian Gale
with cosmetics as yet.
1 met Dicky outside the door of the
walting room with a smile. We re
turned to our seats as the curtain
Was rising on the third act. 1 saw
little either of the act or the ex-
Guisite last one. .One line did grip
me, however. Professor Jogram was
expostulating with Sir Jasper over
hls determination to take Dolly away
from her youthful lover, and in the
tourse of his argument said: “Twenty

LADY FLY'S WEATHER BUREAU.
ADY FLY tied her little bonnet un
der her funny little brown chin
and flew down to Old Black Ant's
door.
“Where to now?” asked the Old Black
Ant. “Not very far, I hope.”
“Oh ,yes, indeed!” buzzed Lady Fly.
*“l'm going out to see the world. If any
one calls, tell them I won't be home
much before night.”

remember her name.” 1 grimly made
up my mind that if any name were
forgotten in twenty years it would be
Lilllan not Margaret. My plan of ac
tion was complete,
The final curtain fell upon the
cameolike picture of the nonogenarian
) who recalls his memories, and gather
ing“my cloak around me with some
'tmnx of the same feeling that a sol
dier of old must have had when he
’buckled his armor, I followed Dicky to
the lobby, where we found Mr, and
‘Mrs. Underwood.
~ “You're to come to supper with us,”
she cried, “just us four. I want to be
‘the first of the crowd to toast your
bride, Dickybird. Yau'll come, won't
you! She looked at me.
“1 would love to,” 1 replied, smiling
at her cordially. “Dicky, we may go,
may we not?” »
Was it fancy or did I see the shade
of disappointment on Lilllan Gale's
face at my reception of her invita
tion, 'Bhe turned to Dicky.
“That’s settled, then, Harry, I'll be
generous, and let you talk to Mrs.
Graham. I know you're just dying to.
Come, Dicky,” and she laid her hand
on his arm.
“Nothing doing tonight, Lil,” Dick's
tone was laughing, but final. “I'm
awfully sorry, Madge, but if [ den't
get to work early tomorrow on that
cover these sketches will do me no
good. I must work while they're fresh
in my mind. 1 know what your par
ties are, Lil, till daylight doth appear
and all the rest of it. Some other
time, and soon, but not tonight.”
He patted the hand which lay on
his arm with an exaggerated little
gesture, then placed it on her hus
band’s coat sleeve.
“Take her, my boy,” he burlesqued,
“and be happy. Good night,” and be
fore 1 could recover my breath at the
unexpected turn of things we were in
the taxi, rolling homeward.
“Did you mind very much about the
supper, sweetheaft?’ asked Dicky,
drawing me close to him. .
“Not very much” I answered de
murely, nestling closer,

She was about to fly away when Mr
Black Ant stopped her.
“Wait a second!" he cried. He dis
appeared in his house, soon returning
with an umbrella under his arm “You'd
better take this with you."
"“Oh, dear no!” laughed Lady Fly.
“I'm not afraid of a little sunshine. In
fact, that's why I decided to go out—
it's such a beautiful day,”
“Beautiful now,” replied Old Rlack
Ant, “but by the time you're ready to
start home you'll find it raining.”
“Just like you old folks,"” buzzed Lady
Fly, “always foretelling the weather by
the way you feel.”

Mr. Black Ant softly. *‘*Whenever | see
the sorrel or the clover plants drooping
their leaves 1 know it's going to mlnl
before the day's over.” . ‘
Lady Fly laughed and flew away
leaving Old Black Ant wagging his head
sorrowfully as he went back into his
house.
Lady Fly went buzzing merrily, chat
ting with every one she met on her way,
She stopped *= visit all the meadow
folks and ha o Jjolly day (;f it; but just
as she tuwmed to start back she found
the wind had changed and the beautiful
sunny sky was shrouded in dark clouds.
The wind was so strong Lady Fly had
to give up trying to fly. She dropped to
the ground and crawled under a clover
leaf to walt until the storm was over
Here she found Miss lLady Bug and
told her all her troubles,
“Old Black Ant warned me and even
offered me his umbrella, but I thought
It was just one of his whims and made
fun of him,” she told Lady Bug
“Well, he was right when he said you
could tell whether it was going to rain
or not by the clover and sorrel plants,”
sighed Lady Bug “1 never venture far
from home without first consulting them
to find out what kind of weather it's
going to be, and never yet have they
told me an untruth."
“And they really do turn up their
l':-u\mi before a storm?’ asked Lady
"y
“The clovers turn their leaves up."
replied Lady Bug, “but the sorrel droops
hers.” \
Lady Fly waited until the storm had
passed, then she hurried home, first
stopping at Old Black Ant's door to say
she was sorry she hadn't heeded his
warning
From that time on the woodland folks
called the clovers and sorrels Lady

The Heart Breaker

CHAPTER LXXIIL
ONORA usually prided herself
I I upon her excellent physique, but
when she awoke on the morn
ing after her trip to Hartford she!
was aware that' in the last 24 hours
she had taxed her powers of en
durance to the utmost.
It had been almost dawn when she
fell asleep. At 7 o'clock she lifted
her head from the pillow, and a sense
of giddiness and weakness compelled
her to lie down again.
When Mildred learned what the
trouble was she advised her sister to
stay away from the office.
“I will telephone to Mr. Pearson
and explain that you are not well,”
she said. “I am sorry you overdid
yourself yesterday, but it's only an
other of the many things to make me
‘uncomfortable. Life lsn't worth liv
ing, anyway.”
Honora felt too ill to argue.” More
over she knew that Mildred's morbid
moods were of short duration. Had
she been a different type of girl she
would have been prostrated by the
events of yesterday. As it was, her
quiet slumber through the night had
been abundant evidence that her
‘heart was not broken nor her nerves
seriogsly strained.
Secretly, Honora was rather glad
to escape the ordeal of breakfast with
her sister and Mrs. Higgins this
morning. The situation would be an
awkward one, and her presence would
not lessen the discomfort of it.
She thanked Mildred for offering to
telephone to Mr, Pearson.
"“Tell him it is only a sick headache
and that I will be down this after
noon, if I am able, and explain how
sorry 1 am,” she murmured, for the
‘dizziness made her feel faint,
‘ Honora Protests.
“T will tell him you are not fit to
be out,” Mildred dectared. “You work
‘hard enough for him to give you an
ocecasional holiday.”
“Oh,” Honora protested feebly, “he
is more than kind to me and is always
‘willing to let. me have time off!"
“Then let him prove it today,” was
the suceinct suggestion.
Mrs. Higgins persuaded Honora to
take a cup BT tea and a slice of toast,
then darkened the room and left her
‘alone. The tired girl slept soundly
until noon, when the housekeeper re
appeared with a tray of luncheon,
“This food actually tates good,”
Honora remarked gratefully. “I feel
ever so much better. I shall get up
pretty soon.”
“Mr. Peason telephoned at 11 o'clock
and said that you were not to at
tempt to go to the offieé today,” Mrs.
Higgins informed her charge: “So I
am to make you take eare of yourself.
You may as well have another nap.”
“How was Milly this morning? 1
mean—did she seem happy at break
fast?" Honora questioned.
“Well--not very,” Mrs. Higgins ad
‘mitted. “But don't you worry about
that. You know Milly's moods are

ISTER JANE laughed heartily and

Mandy laughed §i %ot e |
at this remark, but ¥
there was a much§ G
of uneasiness in § i
her manner, for at &
that moment Klibs ]
marched in, accom
panied by Tommy Timkins. The baby
stationed himself by Sister Jane’'s knee
and stared solemnly at Jincy. “Oo dat,
Nanny Dane?’ he asked.
“*oOld Zip Coon!”™ replied Jincy so sud
denly that Klths retreated behind Sis
ter Jane's chair and from that coign
of vantage smiled serenely at the young
man. Tommy Timkins, however, had
no share in Klib's alarm or bashfulness.
He insisted on jumping to Jiney's knee
and was not satisfied even with that
demonstration of “confidence, for he
reared himself to the lad's shoulder,
and rubbed against his chin and neck.
“He's not that friendly with every
body that comes along, Jincy,” explain
ed Sister Jane. ‘‘That cat kpows a
thing or two.”
“Well'm, they're all mighty friendly
wi’ me,” remarked Jincy; ‘‘cats, dogs,
cattle, hosses and all the wild creeturs,
specially the birds.”
““What about that mocking-bird
swinging on the cedar out there?” [
asked.
\ Jiney rose and glanced at him. “Why,
And he was in love with Mildred.
Don't you think so?”
Honora turnea her head wearily on
the pillow and cfosed her eyes.
“He seemed to be,” she said briefly.
“Well, 1 was wondering if he cares
for her still—l mean exgcept as a
friend. 1 wonder if he loves her now?
If 0, he must be very unhappy.”
She Thinks of Arthur,
The speaker looked inquiringly at
the face gn the pillow. But the eyes
were closed and the kindly matron
decided to withdraw and let the girl
rest for a while longer. So, taking up
the tray, she tiptoed from the room.
But when she had gone Honora
opened her eyes and lay thinking of
Mrs. Higgins' surmises. Did Arthur
still love Mildred? If so, he must
be very unhappy.
She recalled his bitter laugh in the
restaurant yesterday when Mildred
and Chandler passed him. It was not
a pleasant laugh; in it there was not
a sound that would indicate sorrow
or longing. Moreover, if Arthur had
lgved Mildred, would he not have
thrashed Chandler when he saw him
in the hotel in Hartford?
Then reason reminded her that had
he done this he would only have
dragged into light a scandal he and
Honora were trying to cover—would
have made Mildred's name the sub
ject of cruel notoriety.
No, his sparing Tom Chandler did

he’s the same to me as if he was in a
cage,’”” he replied. “I can walk right
out and call him to my hand."”
“He can so!" protested Mandy, see
ing me laugh as if the lad had made an
idle jest.
“The proof of the pudding is chewing
the bag,” remarked Sister Jane.
“That’s so,” said Jincy, “‘and I'll show
you. Come out and see, but don't git
too close.” w
So we adjourned to the garden. Jiney
went near the tree and gave a whistling
chirrup. The bird was so startlea by
the unexpectedness of the call that. it
flew to the top of the cedar, swung
there a moment, giving forth the ‘‘chuh”
cry that stands for anger, alarm and
surprise, and then flew wildly to the
top of the big china tree on the side
walk. Again Jincy gave his whistling
call, and the bird came fluttering back,
this timfe making as if it would light
on his hat, but flying away again. Once
more the whistling call sounded, and
the bird fluttered around and over Jin
cv's head in the most peculiar way.
“What's the matter with you?” cried
Jincy impatiently. Then his eyes fell
on Tommy Tinlgns, who was crouch
ing at his feet and watching every mo
tion of the bird with eager eyes and
trembling jaws. ‘“‘Shucks! it's the cat!™
Jincy said. “I know'd somethin’ was
wrong."” '
1 enjoyed the gpectacle immensely and
treasured the incident in my mind. It
gave me a new and higher opinion of
Jincy. He begged to be excused from
rntuming into the house, on the ground
that he didn’t want to wear his welcome
out. So we begged him to call again
whenever he felt in the humor, and he
went away agdr formally shaking handas
with each one, even the baby.

not mean that he did not love Mil
dred.
Then why did Honora believe that
he had ceased to care for his former
flancee?
The warm blood crept to her face
as she looked at matters honestly, for
the strongest proof she had that Ar
thur Bruce no longer cared for Mil
dred was the expression in his eyes
last evening as he said good-night to
Mildred's sister.
He had never looked at Honora
like that before, and even now she
seemed to feel the warmth of his
handclasp.
She fell asleep again, with a smile
of happiness on her lips.
It was late in the afternoon and
she was just getting up to dress for
dinner when Mrs. Higgins came hur
riedly into the room—just as she had
come 24 uours ago. And, as then,
she held a newspaper in her hand.
“My dear!” she exclaimed, “here's
something more about that young
Chandler!
“It seems he went back to camp
early this morning, and in cleaning
his gun he somehow shot himself ac
cidentally right through the breast.
They think he is going to die. Dear,
dear! What dreadful things are hap=
pening these days!”
