I MY HEART ID i HUSBAND Adele Garrfeoa New phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE MY HEART AKD MY HUSBAND Chapter 2G7 WHAT MRS. TICER SAID TO MR. "BRIDGEHAM" I tried to appear cool and un concerned as I saw Mr. "Bridge ham" Bwing his car Icross the road in Oder effectually to block mine. But my hands shook per ceptibly upon !the wheel as I brought my own car to a stop in order tp avoid a collision, and Mrs. Ttcer beside me spoke swiftly in a low murmuri ' "Don't you be scared of that hyeny, child. I'll fix him for you: Just lead him along a little, let him palaver awhile." Her voice sounded a note of ab solute confidence in her own abil ity to dominate the situation. There was also recognition in it, something which surprised me. Mr. "Bridieham" alighted from his car briskly, but a bit warily. As hef walked toward Us I saw that hi? face held a dis tinctly concilltatory expression. Evidently he f had decided to change his tactics toward me. The knowledge heartened me far more than did Mrs. Ticer's assurance of aid, comforting as her homely words were. . Changed Tactics. Curiously enough I had not worried over the man's strange outburst upon the occasion of my last meeting with him- venomous and menacing though his manner and words had been. I think that his ignominious retreat before Harry Underwood's threats had made me feel that he was, in Mr. Underwood's favorite parlance, "four flushing," and had given me relief from the anxiety I had suf fered for so many weeks at the thought of him. But there was still enough un certainty as to the extent of his knowledge, and the use to which he meant to put what he did know. to make me heartily wish myself miles away as he reached the side of my car, "I wish to beg your pardon, Mrs. Graham, -:for, losing my tem per the other day," . ho began suavely. "I assure you I didn't mean some of the things I said. But" "Really, Mr. " I paused pur posely. He also hesitated, I guessed that he was frantically ransack ing his memory for the name he bad given himself upon the oc casion of our first interview. But finally he brought it up lumber ingly as from some great depth. "Bridgehanj is my name." "Ah, yes, Mr. Bridgeham." I drawled with an air of indolent unconcern. "Really, 1 don't re member anything that you said the ether day, so there is no need whatever to beg my pardon." An ugly, venomous look leaped into his eyes as I spoke. But he banished it promptly and bent toward me. "I am glad to hear it," he said softly. "Then I'm sure you will not object to giving me a few moments' conversation with you. There are some things of utmost Importance which you should hear without delay, and I am the only one who can tell them to you." "Yes, Yon Have!" He patently was making a he roic effort to keep his manner and his language up to the standard of veneer which at some time or other he had painfully laid over the very common material of which he was made, and which chipped alarmingly and betray Ingly whenever he relaxed for a single minute his watch upon him self. With a fixed conviction that he would not accede to my proposi tion I spoke nonchalantly, though my knees underneath the steering wheel were trembling. "I hare five minutes. If you can say what you wish in that time I am ready to listen. But I'm sure I shall not be interested. "I think you will be." he re torted significantly. vBut, of course, I must see you by yourself, if your worthy friend," he glanced with ill Concealed contempt at Mrs. Ticer's hat, "will kindly walk down the road a little way " " 'Her worthy friend' will -set' i'xii; emphasis. "This little lady don't! get out of no car nad walk dovrn io road with you, Jake WHsey, Cot so long as I've got ny senses;, an' I started with all five of 'em! from home this nioriiiu'." i The man started perceptibly at the name she gave him, then he turned toward her angrily, his veneer chipping off - in large flakes. "What's the matter with you? This is none of your affair and you've evidently got me mixed with somebody else," h finished lamely "In a pig's eye I have,'" Mrs. Ticer responded forcibly if in elegantly. "I couldn't mistake that Ugly mug of yourn even if I haint seen it in twenty years." The man smiled uneasily, and I noticed that his blustering air had dropped completely from him. "I I am sure you are mis taken," he protested feebly. "I never have seen you before." , "Oh, yes you have!" Mrs. Ticer asserted. , "You seen Jen Brown many a time in the old days. Would you like to have me remember wJhere I seen you last?" (To be continued) FOLEY'S HAS NEVER FAILED January is a bad month for in fluenza, 'ia grippe and bronchial troubles.
