8 ' REVELAT10PJS OF A WIFE The Story of a Honeymoon ' A Wonderful Ronuuiw f Married lite Wonderfully Toll by ' ADELB O VIUUSOX CHATTER 6S9 ; HOW HARRY UNDERWOOD nROUCHl UP THE NAMV OP JifADOK'S FATHER WHY SHK ACCEPTED HIS "WOTUV "When did. you hear from your fa ther last?", Harry. Underwood asked abruptly. i I was on guard in an Instant. 1 had been so occupied In trying fathom the inner Workings of his mind, -especially since th Incilent of the playing of the natjouai anthem and his ensuing comments, that VI had almost lort sight of n.y convic tlon concerning his knowledge of my father's whereabotits. He had tciked of everything and nortUng. with the charm he so well knerf how to throw around his conversation, and in listening to him I hai felt the old, half-repellant. balf-altracM fas. cination with which the rain'i fi's ence always affects me. Hut his question was like the sud den blazing up of a pile or kirnih- . the flame clearing away the mists ot thought through which I had been groping. One of the objects toward which my presence opposite hi in in the Fleur'de J-is tea room consumed the first step was tlie utyocking f the sealed book which recorded my father's fate, tand of whlch I beliuved Harry Underwood to have the 1 ky. It behooved me to answer hi ques tions most warily. r 1 waited a long minute before an swering. Finally I decided that truth was my best card. ! "Not for a number of weeks." I said quietly, and then countered with another question and an assertion, "You must have twjen him fre quently when you were in 3outh Am erica." I said. "Was "he all right when you saw him last?" j Did his brilliant blacd eyes wa-;r ever so slightly as they met m!ne? Did he flinch almost perceptibly at my queftlon? I wasn't sure, for when he answered m? he was his usual self. .J'Wbafa the Real Trouble?" "He seemed to be well, but rather nervous and worried- as If some thing were troubling him." he re plied. x r I pondered the answer. It might mean just what It Indicated on the surface on the other hand, unknown FA 13 jul mm C.

Harry, rntierwood's vnicr, fuf. dangerously tender. Mutinied across the table. "You're uni-asy atiout your father, 1 can see that. Ami, who knows, perhaps 1 can help you. Won't you tell your Uncle D.idley all bout it?" ! 1 looked up into his eyes to fiiidj them swept' clear of all morkery. Kindness, sincerity, looked out or ; them, and I longed to belies they . weren't a mirage. j A sudden impulse came to ate 1; ; could do no harm. I reaniied. for, me to tell Mr. Underwood tho istory of the anonymous clippings purport-' ing to betray my father's horriMe 1 death as a spy, which had b en s-nt ' me. If he had had any hand in ; them something which I din't be- ' lieve 'I was sure I could dc-iect the, fact, imperturbable os he was. On th other hand, if the clippings had been snt by Grace Draper without his knowledge or sanction. I felt inst'nc tively that it would not injure eithc my father's cause or the work In which 1 was engaged with Lillian for him to learn of the dastardly scheme. I fclded my hands in my l:Tp. for I could make no pretense of eating during the rectital of .the events which had so terrified me. and spoke slowly, meeting his eyes deliberately as f did so. "There Is something very grave troubling me." I said, "something which Involves my father's very.lif. j Hut if 1 tell it to you you must re gard It as a confidence." His black eyes gazed Fteadily. In tently at me. "1 give you my word of " he stopped with an almost saturnine twist Of his lips, and reneated im pressively, "I give you my word." "I accept It." I returned, convinced in spite of the slip he had made in answering me. 1 knew as well as if he had explained, the matter at' length, that he had started to say "my 1word of honor", and had Flopped In sheer self-loathing at the Word "honor" applied to himself. "Thank you," he returned, . and there was a humility in the tone wholly foreign to any phase of Harry Inderwood I had ever known. An Unexpected Diversion. ' I cast about for words with whica best to frame the story I had to tell him. As I did. so the sad-eyed French waitress came up, and In her usual deft manner cleared away the dishes of our meat course, prepara tory to bringing our cheese and cof fee. Then she stepped back to the table near n at which I bad seen the imperious, looking woman. An instant later, while the opening words of my story still lingered on my lips, reluctant of utterance, i heard the clear, carrying tones of the woman at the other table: ' ' "I usually, give 10, cents, bnt I shall not give It to yon."
