THE OREGO STATESMAN: FRIDAY, MAY 2. REVELATIONS OF A WIF1 The Story of a Honeymoon v A Wonderful Romance of ftlarrled Life Wonderfully Told bj AJDELK UAKRISON CHAPTER CCLXXX HOW DICKY MET THE UNKNOWN '"..My heart almost stopped beating when I heard my mother-in-law's query concerning the man who, she said, was looking at me so Intently from the table near ous in the Sy denham grill room. My tuition told me at once the Identity of the gazer. It must be the man whose uncanny mournful look had so distressed me when I was waiting for Lillian Underwood in the little reception room at the Sydenham the preceding Monday, the man who had followed us into the little tea room, who had even, taken the same train to Marvin with me. I remembered Jim's hurried story of the mysterious stranger who had bribed the Crest Haven taxi driver to reveal my identity to him, after I had evaded his scrutiny by getting off the train at Crest Haven instead of Marvin. I felt as if I could not lift my eyes to look at the man my mother-in law indicated, and yet I knew I must i glance casually at him if I were to avert the displeased suspicion which I already caw creeping into her eyes. So, with a mighty effort, I pulled myself together and looked casually over Dicky's shoulder to the table of which his mother had spoken. I really felt proud of the composure with which I met the gaze I dreaded, for my Intuition was correct. With his elbow resting on the table hia hand propping his head, the man whose, espionage had so disturbed me., sat gazing at me, utterly obliv ious of both the viands before him and the people surrounding him. 'When my eyes met his he gave not the slightest sign that he knew I was looking at him, simply continued his steady gaze, which had something of wistful mournf ulness In it. I averted my eyes as quickly as possible, and tried to look absolutely unconcerned. "I am sure he cannot be looking j at me" 1 said lightly. "I do not ! know him at ail." Between Two Fires. I hoped that my mother-in-law would not notice my evasion, but she was too iiick for me. "You may not know him, but have you ever seen him before?" she asked shrewdly. . Really, mother." Dicky inter posed, "you're going a little too far with that catechism. Madge says she doesn't know the man. that set tles it. By the way. Madge, is he annoying you? If. he is, I can set tle him in about two seconds." "Oh. no." I said nervously. "I don't really think the man's looking at me at all; he's simply gazing out Into space, thinking, and happens to be facing this way. It would be su premely ridiculous to call him to ac count for it." My mother-in-law snorted, but made no further comment, evidently silenced by Dicky's reproof. I may have imagined it. but it seemed to me that Dicky looked at me a little curiously when I pro tested my belief that the man was simply absorbed in thought and not looking at me. at all. But I had no time to speculate on his thoughts. I knew that if I kept mv mother-in-law silenced and Dicky from growing suspicious of the VIGTROLAS and PATHES; Are the two- leading talking machines in. the musical '- - . - ' . a : - - " world.

"Perhaps He Mistakes " I chatted, aboutr everything and about nothing, plied Mother Graham with questions as fo the hotels and restaurants in the city where she had formerly lived, quizzed -Picky as to the names and idiosyncracies of the men and women to whom he nodded. and generally acted the part of a rattle-brained woman enjoying to the full her evening's pleasure. In the midst of my chatter my mohter-ln-Iaw interrupted me. ''Your mysterious admirer .has gone." she said caustically. "I am sure be must think he knows you. Margaret, for he kept looking back as he 'went away, as if hoping you would look around." "Perhaps he mistakes me for someone, or sees a resemblance to someone he has known." I . said lightly, and then turned the talk In another channel. When we were dallying with the curiously moulded ices which Dicky had ordered for dessert I saw his eyes light up as he caught sight of someone he evidently knew. "Pardon , me just a minute, will you?" he said, turning to his mother and me, apologetically. "I see Bob Simonds over there with a bunch of fellows. Haven't seen him ifi a coon's age. He's been over across the pond in the big mlx-up. Didn't know he was back. I don't want any more of this ice anyway". , and when the waiter comes, order cheese, coffee and a cordial for ns all."

Why Madge Trembled. My mother-in-law's eyes followed mine, and I knew that for once at least we were of one mind, and that mind full of pride in the man so dear to us both. He was easily the most distinguished figure at the table full of men who greeted him so Joyous ly. I knew that hia mother noted with me how cordial was the wel come each man gave Dicky, how they all seemed to defer to him and hang upon his words. i Then across my vision came a pic ture most terrifying to me." It was as If my mother-in-law and I were spectators of a series of motion pic ture films. Toward the table, where Dicky stood surrounded by hia friends, there sauntered the myster ious stranger, who had attracted my mother-In.law's attention by his scruitiny of me. Hut he was no stranger to the men surrounding Dicky. Most of them greeted him warmly. Of course. I was too far away to hear what was said, but saw the pantomime In which he requested an introduction to Dicky of one of his friends. Then I saw the stranger meet Dicky and eneage him In earnest con versation. I 'did not dare to look at my mother-in-law. T knew slfe was gazing in open-montbed wonder at her son. but I hoped she did not know the queer mixture of terror and Interest with which I watched the picture at the other table. For it was no surprise to me when a few minutes later Dicky came back to our table. With him, talking ear nestly, as if he had been a childhood friend, walked the mysterious stran ger. I told myself I had known it would be so from the first. From the moment I had first seen this man's haunting eyes gazing at me In the reception room of the Sy denham I had - felt that meeting with him was .Inevitable. How or where he would' touch my life I did not know, but that he as destined to wield some Influence, sinister or. fa vorable over me. I was sure, and 1 trembled with vague terror as I saw him drawing near.
