REVELATIONS r OF A WIFE The Story of afHoneymoon ; A WotadernI Romance of Married Life Wonderfully Toli bj CHAPTER CCCCXXXX My eyes were blazing with anger as raised them from the mocking , ' letter which Harry Underwood had ; Jaati tent Lillian, the letter in which he dropped out of their marriage re latlona with much more nonchalance than he would have broken a din snt engagement.

With a little Pigh i she turned and put her cheek against mine, her arm around me. For fully five minutes I knelt, then she rose abruptly, drew me to my feet and put me in a chair c.lose to her own.; I saw that She had not shed any tears, but her eyes were glittering with excitement, and on each cheek glowed a spot of red. an unbecoming flush which remind ed me- unpleasantly of the rouge she was wont to use in the old days. "Don't mistake my, ! feeling. Madge," she said slowly at last. "In one way this thing comes as a bless ed relief. I believe I have told you that I never had any romantic af fection for Harry. But he appealed to me in the days of miserable lone liness which came after I had giver A 1 1 , "J t -. ..I -tit Kt t t . . it J I. -. ' -c V ii gr ; .. . ' .

I had heard from Dicky how . Lillian's encouragement and sympathy yes, even her finan cial help had put Harry Underwood J on his .feet after an almost disrepu table business fiasco on his part. Lil lian had never hinted at the money part of her help to her husband, but Harry had himself told Dicky of it in the early years of their marriage. Lillian's Dilemma. I "Rut there is just one question be- fore me.'' she said. "I would be glad to divorce Harry. I. have no qualms on the subject at ail, but have I the right tq bring any more unpleasant publicity upon my head, and because of mef to my baby girl?" As jthe rvill import of Lillian's di lemma burst upon me I felt my heart stop beating for an instant. It was too horrible this alternative which Harry Underwood's request had put before her. If she refused to divorce him. held him to his marriage ties, she was put In the position, well nigh unbearable to a woman of Lillian .Underwood's pride, of. holding a man bound to her Who had ceased to care for her. 4 ' ' But,' if she did divorce him, she would again be pilloried in the pub lic eye, in only lesser' degree than she had been when her first, hus band. Will Morton, In order to gain his own freedom and in revenge for her defiance of him, had branded her by an unjust suit of divorce. , She was an illustrator and an ad vertising jingle writer of 'national faaie. The notoriety of her first di vorce made her fair game for the newspapers. If It were not for.tne war its monopoly of the news col- SHE GOULD NOT STAND OR WORK Bat Lydla E.

HISTORY OF NUMBER 40 ;40 yea:a ago an old, doctor was putting tip a medicine for dseases of the blood, that cured the worst cases of specific blood poison,) and time proved that the cures were per nanent. After many years I secured rbe prescription (being a druggist). and took each ingredient separately and referred to my U. S. Dispensa tory and other authoritative books on medicine and found the medical properties set down as follows: "Em ployed in diseases of the .glandular system. In blood poison, scrofula, eczema, constipation, stomach and liver troubles, chronic rheumatism. catarrh. In sores, ulcers, pimples. skin eruptions, mercurial and lead Doisoning. Under its use nodes, tu mors and scrofulous swellings that have withstood all other treatment disappear as If by magic". To comt- memorate my fortieth ' year as, a druggist I named this medkrne "Number 40 For the Blood." J. C Mendenhall.Evansville. Ind. Sold by- Perry's drug- store. A '1 . 1 ITT?

And even with, newspaper conditions as they are I knew Lillian could not entirely escape the cruel notoriety. I knew the woman at my side well enough to be certain that no consid eration for herself would touch her. She would give Harry Underwood the boon he so Insolently asked In a moment If It were not for her little daughter. But to keep the breath of scandal from Marion, the child whose companionship she had sacrificed years before because her nigh sense of honor compelled her to save Dicky from her husband's vengeance, the child who had been so lately restored to her. she would fight like any roused tigress for her young. "I told you I had lost my sense or values " Lillian went on drearily. 'I want to play the game fairly with Harry, and., of course. I don't want to stand in the way of the girl's mar riage to him that has always seemed to'me to be a particularly mean-spirited thing for an injured wife to doV; Dut I an't drag little Marlon through the mire of a suit for divorce.

Harry Underwood is n't worthy of even a second's regret or consideration from you. And as for the girl!" my voice broke as I remembered all the misery Grace Draper had caused me. i "I know," Lillian put her hand upon mine. "She deserves.no mercy from either you or me. t But I am so dazed, so -wearied of it all that I am: glad to have you make my de cision fpr me. "To tell the truth," she said, "I am probably doing both Harry and the Draper a favor by refusing to di vorce .him. If Harry had his free dom he probably" would marry the girl, and in a year or two they would both be . - keenly regretting beta bound to each other. And Harry knows that except for the mere ler gal formality he is as free from me as I hope I am from, him." She flung out her arms with a ges ture as if she were casting away a heavy burden.
