CONFESSIONS
OF A WIFE
I'VE GOT TO FIGHT IT OUT
WITHOUT DICK’S HELP.
Pick came in last night about seven
I had a table beautifully set and drawn
up to my bed. My head was raised
a little This could be done without
muoli trouble or pain, as I ant In a
cast and strapped to a peculiar contri
vance which allows jic to be moved,
like the log tlial 1 am. provided anyone
has enough strength to move me. The
doctors are going to tjyko the east off
tomorrow and decide If there has been
the slightest Improvement.
It was u ghastly dinner, little book
the first meal Hick had eaten with
me since my accident. 1 don't think he
realised until this time how horrible
It all Is He could not eat my nice
dinner of beefsteak, broiled just us he
liked it. and even after Alice and I
had taken so much pains with It all.
You see. little book. Alice and I have
grown somewhat accustomed to my
helplessness 1 wonder If those ancient
martyrs In time became accustomed to
the rack.
Itut to Pick this Intimate exhibition
of It was ull new and horrible.
I was sorry I had planned this din
ner hut I hud become so llrcd of eat
ing alone However. I know now that
I must take my meats In private until
I am able to eat them like a civilised
being.
llf course, I was simply miserable
before dinner was half over, but I
managed to keep up. Pick had on
what one might call his "society man
ner." I had never seen It before in my
life and. please God. may I never see it
again!
It had l*ecn a hard day for me and
I had counted so much on this visit.
From one extreme to another my
thoughts had Wandered, trying to find
a solution of this terrible problem that
faces Pick and me. At last I was sure
we could fall Into an easy sort of
friendship that both of us would find
tnexpressably tender and enjoyable.
1 could and did Imagine Pick coming
In with an air somewhere between

and a very gentle, sympathetic clergy
man.
I Imagined he would relate to me
what was going on In his business and
perhaps tell me Jim Kdle's last joke. I,
on the other hand, would be blight and
cheerful. 1 would insist that I was
getting better; I would tell him the
plot of the latest novel I had been
reading, and at last, when he was
ready to go ,he would bend down and
kiss me—more than once - and tell me
that he wanted to spend many eve
nings like this one.
The scheme failed utterly, as almost
all such schemes do.
Pick sat there beside the table and
miserably tried to make a pretense of
eating while 1 saw my pretty air castle
fall In ruins. I begun to feel that I
had forced him Into an entirely false
position. A man cannot make a pre
tense of social Interest when he Is tra
gically unhappy. Only a woman, little
book, can laugh while her heart is be
ing seared as with white-hot Irons.

neither calmly nor phyloaophlcally. 1
saw I hud Increased the load he was
carrying until! he began to doubt hts
ability to bear It.
At lust, he could stand It no longer
and hurst out: "It seems. Margie, as
though we hud made a kind of mess
of things of it all. doesn't It?"
"We." l.tttle book. I could not un
derstand that "we." Although I might
browbeat and condemn myself It seem
ed to me for the moment that, as Pick
should see me. I ought to tie pretty
nearly all right. 1 had not made a
mess of things.
of course I could not help this physi
cal disability—that tvas fate—and I
but a hopeless puppet who must accept
whatever came when destiny pulled
the strings.
Then, little hook, a strange thing
happened. Pick got up hastily and I
felt him close beside me Almost
roughly he drew my face to him. 'How
heutiful you are, Margie. In that
Pinky lace thing you are ths most «*-
iiulsltely sweet woman 1 hava ever
seen. I feel as though I had never
seen you before” —-and then he drew
himself up and in a totally different
tone of voice said. "You must excuse
me, dear. I am tired and moody. I
must go to bed."
A second time he hesitated and then
bending down close to me he whis
pered. "Pon’t ask me to visit you again
like this" —and was gone.

THE CITY MULES IN "BE
KIND TO ANIMAL WEEK”
% i
Next In our Mental Week Horse Ta
rado during this ''Re Kind to Animals
Week” comes the city mules.
In the actual parnde of last week a
stranger was heard to say: "I have tra
veled In many cities and seen the mules,
but Augusta has the finest mules In the
city service I ever saw."
It was our purpose to have examined
every one of these mules, but we are
told by reliable parties that not a one
of them has sores and the drivers love
them as ts they were their own. These
mules, except those hauling the sprink
lers are not allowed to be trotted when
carrying a load (Pon't you wish you
were a city mule?)

you the woes of wasting your money. You

somehow just haven’t made the start to save.
