REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
The Story of a Honeymoon
, A Wonderful Romance of Married Life Wonderfully Told by
ADELE GAItlUSOX
; CHAPTER CCCXX, i
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DARK-
. NESS OF THE NIGHT
u, "Oh, what a splendid idea!" I ex
claimed -when Mrs, Cosgrove quietly
advised that Mrs. Allls upon her
return should be led to believe that
her scheme had 'succeeded, and that
Dicky, and I were safe In jail to
which in her Ignorance she thought
she had . consigned us by reporting
out violation of the stale fish and
game laws.'.' . ""V
"I don't see just how yon are go
ing to manage it." Mr. Cosgrove said
dubiously. . His wife threw him the
look which even the wisest of men
sometimes receive from their life
partners, the what-ia-this-I'm-tled-tq
glance which every married mad
and woman knows.
V It's very simple," she said coolly.
"Mr. and Mrs. Graham will go now
for fear 'she may come back soon,
and take their belongings and put
them In our bungalow. There's a
fire over there, and it will be very
comfortable for them. It's very evi
dent from: all indications that the
attempt ta steal the paintings will
be made tonight. We'll" get, our
lights all in readiness, and after Mrs.
Allis has -gone' to bed, presumably
chuckling' at her success in getting
rid of Mr. and Mrs, Graham, we can
post ourseles at different vantage
points and wait for, the trouble when
it comes.""" 1 i " .
,"Do you think we'll need any
weapons?" I asked. j
" Dicky threw back his head and
laughed heartily.
v "Do get; her a poker, Mrs. Cos
grove," lie said. "She' wants to be
a real de-tec-e-tuv." k. .
1 1 saw the quick, involuntary frown
which .Mrs Cosgrove gave Dicky,
and my heart warmed toward her
with the freemasonry of wives. It
seemed so childish of Dicky to make
such a speech when I had really
been the first one to be suspicious of
Mrs. Allis.' :
At The Window.' ! .
i
. . I opened my lips to reply to
Dieky's teasing, but forgot what I
meant to say at the sight of ia door
leading from, the parlor to a. bedroom
adjoining,- slowly, being pushed ajar.
With a quick, noiseless movement
I sprang to the , door and pushed
j gainst it. But someone; on the oth
er side had greater strength than I.
The door closed again. and a bolt
slipped in the lock, and I heard the
sound 1 of someone getting through
the window.;. , '
, "Quick!" I gasped. "Who ever was
in there has climbed through the
window." The men dashed out and
around to the side while Mrs. Cos
grove and I sat gazing at each oth
er. i f ,
'"Who could have been- in- there?"
I asked breathlessly. "Do you sup
pose it could have been Mrs. Allis?"
- "I don't think so." she returned.
"I am afraid it may have been Rob
ert. We have been allowing him
more libertyMately. but h,e never has
come up to the house before. He has
a hbrmr of strangers. I trust if it
were he that he did not I understand
what we were .saying. 'The thought
of danger to his pictures might set
him off again." M '
Hut when the men returned they
reported no trace of any one. The
ground was very hard and bare of
grass underneath that particular
window and no footsteps were visi-1
ble.
The Whispering Voice. i
The next few moments Were full
of bustle. Dicky and I took the
things wa needed from our rooms
and went over to the bungalow.
where, as Mrs. Cosgrove had prophe
sied. Ve were most comfortable. The
afternoon, of course, eeemed unusu
ally long, but was shortened by the
visits of Fred and Ned, who had been
let into the secret, and who were
bursting with Jboyish importance at
each piece of news they brought us.
i"Mrs. Allis has come back." Fred
announced breathlessly about half
after, five. "She knocked at your
door right ajfer she came in, and
then she came down stairs and
aFked me where you were. Ma pre
tended to' be awfully, sorry for you
getting locked up. and wondered
who could hgve found tout about
you. Mrs. Allis said. 'Yes. I won
der. in the queerest .way; and she
looked so funnv when she said It,
just like a cat lickingithe cream ofr
the top of the milk. Ma said after
ward." . .
"Here's yoar supper." . Ned an
nounced an hour later, bearing
huge tray piled high with the sup
per dainties his mother knew so wel",
how. to prepare. "Ma says to make
out a good meal, for we may be op
very laie tonight.
"Those boys will burst if nothing
happens tonight," Dicky commented
idly.,- ' -
"Something will happen, never
fear.' 1 returned, and indeed. I felt
as if my excitement mas not less
than that of the twins.
As soon as Mrs. Allis" lieht went
out. about 10 o'clock, we all took up
the positions we had agreed upon.
The twins, fleetest and lightest of
foot, and most acute of hearing,
were posted at each approach from
the road to await the coming of tha
men who were to help Mrs. Allis In

venture. While I. in a hall behind
I a drapery, and Mrs. Cosgrove in the
Wining room, kept our ears open for
Mrs. Allis entrance to the parlor.
. It was nearly 1 o'clock, and we
were all stiff with our enforced vigil
when the eerie note of a screech owl
sounded in our ears. The twins had

A NERVOUS
BREAKDOVJtl
La Grande Bootlegger's Con-
. viction Affirmed But to
Get Lighter Sentence
The conviction of V. 7L. Mos.
wealthy eastern Oregon cattle man
charged with cattle stealing, im re
versed by the supreme court In n
opinion written by Justice Burnett
and handed down yesterday.
Moss was indicted and convicted
in take county before Circuit Judre
Conn. Testimony introduced at tha
trial showed that about CO head. -of
cattle were found grazing with cat
tle owned by Mofs. These strays
f had the Moss Cattle brand on them
and also showed evidence that other
brands had been mutilated.
In setting aside the verdict of
guilty, the court says that the evi
dence showed that the Moss cattl
were grazing on a public range and
that the presence of strange cattle
among the Moss herd is not prima
facie evidence or the theft of the
cattle by Moss. The opinion holds
that it might as well be reasoned
that the owner of the 60 stray cattle
had stolen the cattle belonging to
Moss.
The conviction was obtained un
der a statute defining the actual lar
cency of cattle. The court holds that
should Moss have been prosecuted
for chancing the brands of these oth
er cattle the result might have been
different, but nnder the pleadings
he cannot be convicted of cattle
stealing. '
Two convictions of Adolph Newlin.
a ta Grande druggist are modified
in opinions written by Chief J untie
McBride. Newlin was indicted for
violation of the prohibition law. He
was. convicted and passing sentence
the court took Into consideration prl?
or convictions for bootlegging.. This
was an error inasmuch as the indict
ment did not plead prior convictions,
and the court.. In an opinion by
Chief Justice "fc Bride, remands the
case back for re-sentence. ;
Other opinions were:
