REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Story of a Honeymoon A Wonde rfnly Romance of Married Life Wonderfully Told by ' ADELfi GARRISON CHAPTER 833 Beginning Tuesday ' -Dfirt't Miss It ! My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife Dicky, Lillian Underwood and Robert Savarin, Dr. Pet : tit, Kenneth and Mrs. Stockbridge, Jack Bickett and Katherine, Katie and Mother Graham all your old friends and new ones will be found in this gripping story of real life, the romance of a HUSBAND and the HEART of a WIFE HOW MADGE MET HER HOUR ANT) DICKY CAME BACK TO i HER FROM THE SHADOW OK DEATH. Dry-eyed, silent, shrinking from eaeh other's, soul, yet clinging to each other's bands like fright ened children,. Edith Fairfax and I waited outside the operating room, of the - camp hospital for the verdict of the surgeon a upon Dicky. Little Mrs. Durkee had disap peared with ; the whispered word that she .would be back soon. I had asked heT; to 'phone t Lillian that the news ot Dicky's accident might be kept from his mother as long as possible. I guessed, dul ly, that my little friend meant to go to my home herself and bring Lillian back with her. But I had no desire either for 'Lillian's pres ence, or. Indeed, for anything else in the world save the word which waited behind the closed door. Even Edith Fair fax' a Intrusion upon . these awful; t momenta something which 1 would fiercely have repeated had I been even the least bit normal mattered noth ing to me. 8he had gone into the hospital by my side, .because in answer to an officer's question . I had declared thai she was my sla ter. I think in that hour I -could have found courage, if the lie had been necessary, to say that she waa Dicky's wife, to give him up to her. so abased was . I before the consciousness of. the horrible injustice I had done my husband. Atonement -tbi was the' one thought that obsessed me. If merciful nearen would only give Dicky back to me I felt that lite itself would not be -long enough for my reparation. The minutes slipped away re-' lentlesaly, seemed to stretch into eternity. . Lillian and Mrs. .Dur kee -came into the room, and 1 felt my friend's strong ' arms around me, her pitying face above mine. - Then the door of the operating room opened, v and '-one - of - the young surgeons came out. . Mrs. Graham? he said inquir ingly, but I could not speak.- LfTour Husband Will Live.- 1 Lillian Indicated me 'by a ges ture. "I am glad to tell you that your husband will lire he ald kind ly. . "But it .will. be impossible for any one to see him . for some time. he added to Lillian. "So if you will take, her away at once -.we havb to come out this way. I followed Lillian obediently, every emotion,, ertry .sense fused Into one pean ot Joy, Dicky lived! ' Everything , else in the world could wait. ' . It waa Lillian who leathered the missing threads, of .the. story to gether from Edith Fairfax and put them. into my hands .in the hours that elapsed, before . I was permitted to see my .husband. "Dicky, with that .tooUsh un due sensitiveness of .hi, .wanted to get his commisaion before you or I or hie friends knew, that he waa training at the aviation eamp,M Ulllan aaid. "I know him well enough to realize that it would have simply killed bis pride to have failed for his commission ir we knew about 1L" ."But Edith -Fairfax knew." I said dully. She stumbled upon It by acci dent." Lillian returned. -Her cousin from Virginia yon know cousins are the -same aa brothers down therewas at -the same camp unknown to j Dicky. She went up "to see her cousin and ac cidentally saw Dicky, who sorely needed a friend and confidant Juat about that time, and ever since ahe has been in ,h is confidence. But you needn't worrv hnn k.p and Dicky; child, : She's hopeless ly in love with . him. of course, but from what I hive learned from the girl herself. Dicky haa but one thought nd thatia you. j ,"l l-now,' I .aaid remorsefully, feverishly anxious to hear the rest of the story. Ulllan hurried on after one comprehending glance e.t me. Dicky Guesses Madge's Secret. How Grace Draper learned that Dicky waa In training I don't know but know It. she did. and a devils life she-led him. You know of .Dieky'a fantastic Ideas of chivalry he didn't .like to turn ner w to the authorities5 and nothing else would have stopped her constant hovering; about .the th meetings she managed with him, the efforts she made to WOr. herself into hit confidence. Finally, alarmed by some of her questions, he threatened to de nounce her to the military author ities. Then. I fancy, all the dvil In her broke loose, and from that moment she plotted his death."

Jknan( .nM.w. ranged details with Dawson. To do Harry justice, he only con sented because Draper ottered to let you alone . after she had se cured the paper if he would at tend to Dicky's accident. Harry has been drinking: heavily for weeks, and I think he had some sort of idea in his drink-maddened brain that Dicky waa false to you. and that if he were out of the way there might be a. chance for. him. r "I hare all this from Edith Fairfax, to whom Harry rushed when he found out that Draper had tried to have Allls kill you. The shock wakened his conscience and he hastened to-try to undo what he had done. You know the rest, except" she hesitated, then went on with a rush: "Harry has disappeared as , it swallowed up by the ground. An officer with an escort was taking him-to one of the big inquisitors in the. city. .and when they were passing one of the rabbit warrens in the East aide. Harry took ad vantage of a momentary stop of the machine to dive into one ot the doorways. The men followed him. shooting, but it must have been a locality he knew there ia no part of the city with which he isn't, familiar, hardly a crook but knows him. and I imagine he found ahelter. although fresh bloodstains in the .place he first entered, showed that he had been hit. "But. enough of horrora. That's all I know, and we'll flot apeak of this again." There waa but one. question in my mind. .Who had sent me the letter which .had led me to the aviation camp npoa -that particu lar day? But the answer to that didn t come until Dicky's slow convalescence had progressed to the extent of Justifying us In bringing him home. Then, in his room at last, to gether and alone, we spoke for the first time ot the things near est to ua. Tacitly we had avoid ed them, for from the first mo ment that I had been permitted to see him in the hospital, and we had given and -had received the first lone look, the first ten der kiss, with the shadow ot death not yet wholly gone, we hart known that all doubts,-all quibbles had been cleared out of our love. "Sweetheart." Dicky aaid. smoothing back my hair from my forehead, "there is so much I have to tell you. so much of which I am ashamed to speak." I put my hand upon hia l(ps. from my kneeling position by the side of his couch. "I know most of it already, dear." I answered, "from Lillian, in whom Edith confided. So let us. not waste time speaking of It again." "Agreed," he said with a trav esty of his old. merry smile. "On ly you must tell me you forgive me for that fool anonymous let ter. I don't know why I sent It. and to think that you hid to wit ness " I stopped him again, this time with a kiss. I knew why he had sent It, but I didn't wish to dwell, even in momentary fleeting thought upon the childish, gloat ing temper it betrayed, which pro bably Dicky would never lose. fWhythink of that?" I whis pered, "when I have been wait ing. all these weeks to tell you to tell you " My TOlce faltered, ami I hid my burning- faco against htm.
