a m m V BAND Adcl Garrtsoa's New rhaae of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER NO. 293 WHAT DID HARRIET BRAITH WAITE SAY TO JACK? I have always known that Kath erine was a woman of rare polsa and sterling worth. But I never nave had half so much cause to admire her as I did during the 'few minutes which elapsed be ; tween the departure of Jack and Mrs. Bralthwaite to the garden and their return. It was a situation to try the nerres of any woman. Yet there was absolutely nothing in her de meanor to indicate that b?r hus band had just indulged in a dis graceful exhibition of his ill hu mor, and that she expected to be compelled to cut short her plan ned vifit almost before it had be gun. She renewed acquaintance with Mother Graham, talk-id cheerily to big Dr. DraithwaHe, even an swered laughingly and with every appearance of zest the sallies of Dickey S3nt in her direction. But once when sh'; was near me and knew herself unobserved sue caught my hand 'n hefs as it hang by my side, and fairly hurt me with the crushing fierceness of hsr grap. The next instant she had drop ped it and was answering fondly the eager questions with which Marion was plying her.

But in the depths of the soft brown eyes which make Kather Jne's face so attractive, I read something very akin to heart break. The anger I had felt at my brother-cousin's actions changed to puzzled wonder. It was not like the old Jack I had known to bring such a look into the eyes EMPHASIZING THE CAUSE OF THESE DRASTIC REDUCTIONS Teling the Story in just three words ' Need Money r0a Get these Prices We That's Why Men's $3.50 value, Guaranteed Quality LONG SLICKER COATS Standard Make, Special at $2.98 OUR CLEAN SWEEP OP Men's The entire stock. newest models la single ancT double breasted sport and conserv ative models.

He didn't know what possibil ities of cruelty or kindness Jack might display to the woman he had married? No doubt Dicky's girl friends would never believe that he could possibly hurt the woman he vloved in the many ways that he had since we were married The thought was a salutary one. however, the exhibition I had just seen my brother-cousin give Btill more salutary for me. Woman-like, I never have been quite able to forget that Jack cared for me or imagined he did in the days before he met Katherine. The dramatic scene which he had inadvertently staged in Broquin's cafe when he learned for the first time that I had married Dicky during his long absence was apt to flash up in my photograph gal lery of recollections, especially when I had been hurt by Dicky's real or fanciod neglect. There even had been times, but only for a fleeting minute or two, when I have wondered, woman like, whether, after all, 1 might not have been happier wjth my mother's choice than with my temperamental husband. But this glimpse of the possibilities of cru elty in .lack's cold wrath made me glad that- it was not I who had married him. Better a dozen of Dicky's temperamental rages than this icy wrath of Jack's, which I shrewdly guessed did not pass in a few minutes as Dicky's tantrums do. A New Light. What was Harriet Braithwalte I saying to him? The questldn buzzed in my brain even as my thoughts roved from the present to the past and back again. Th-t she meant to do her utmost to remove the obsession from Jack's brain and preserve the visit he had threatened to cut short 1 Vnew by the look on her face when she had led him away. But would she succeod in her mission? I was sure that the thought was In the minds of t'ie other people j tn the room also, although not one of them save myself knew the significance of Harriet Braith waite's taking the initiative in the ! matter. The rest simply saw a b:g-heart2d. capable woman doing her utmost to save a delicate sit uation. I think we all held our breaths as we saw the two coming back toward the veranda, moving slow ly, talking rapidly. As they came up the steps Harriet Braithwaite said carelessly: "Katherine, you really ought to give your husband a course in comparative values. It took me ten years, however, to train Ed win, so I suppose you still have t'me. He had actually figured out a lot of things that would call him back to the city, and 1 was able to show him in every in stance how they could be arrang ed by long distance tflephono, and give you the chance for a few days' visit with Margaret and Richard. I really feel quite tri umphant, and you'll never know bow heroic I am repressing the exclamation, 'Isn't that just like a man'?" "If you did choke it back it's the first time in thirty years, I ran bear witness." her big husband interposed dryly, and I knew that he had pickcl up her cue in order to make things smoother for Jack. I watched my brother-cousin's face narrowly. It was a most hu mili; f ig' situation, even if hrrr-ut about by his own foolish aner and I wondered how he would manage it. Whatever Har riet Braithwaite had said to him had evidently deeply moved him, for his face was white with sup pressed emotion, although the sombre anger had fled from it.

There seems to be a difference of opinion among attorneys of the state as to whether or not sncn day is a legal holiday under the statute. "I am informed it has been the custom of Portland banks and tue majority of banks throughout the state to remain closed upon this day in the past, und-r the assump tion that such day has been made a legal holiday by legislative en actment.

The governor received a formal memorandum from the attorney general confirming a verbal opin ion of Friday night that the day is not a legal holiday under the Oregon law, but because of a re quest of the Portland Clearing House association which feared that complications might result U business were transacted Monday, the governor decided to declare the day legally a holiday.
