JUNE 26. 1925 lumoi I Adele rGamon'i New Phasr of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Jopyrght by Newspaper Feature Service ' Vr CHAPTER F43 THE REASON MADGE'S "BEST LAID PLAN" WAS BEATEN . Beneath the frothy ripples of little Mrs. Durkee's apparently pliable personality k runs a strong fjriirrent of steady ; efficiency and, Vpmmon sense. These qualities . . . ' i . uen surprise loose woa Know uer only by the charming, inconsequ- . . . . . - nuai things she says anu , aoes, nd who have heard the nickname Her Fluff iness," which her tAh Llfred affectionately calls her. That she can be quick an J re- )urceful in an emergency, I have Jlmg known. "And I also have' ob- ' nerved that the; little woman, the ; jo ul of courteous kindliness and Jospitality, can be unrelenting nd stubborn in her dislike of any He who thwarts the plans - of t"ho.se she loves. She is the cley- masking her displeasure when po- icy of her. inherent fear of giving pain sways her. Knowing all this. I was not urprised. to hear the honeyed ac- fents with .which''? she addressed less Dean. I smiled to myself at he tiny sting which she planted n her words for the girl's benefit. Iiut if J had thought that the re sourceful audacity of the Bayylew ligh school teacher : would be balked by Mrs. Durkee's. sugges- ion of a dinner-tray for Alfred Ki and Leila, upstairs because of Lef- v la's turned ankle. I was speedily Hi deceived. - " "Ct trnraa ill mill nant t w . . . . . . n . . . u.i m at up therewith Leila." she car- led, and she lifted! her-voice un- istakably for the' benefit ot:ithe wo ' upstairs, I was sure. "For hat matter, we all will. I'll tell ou what, Mother Durkee. We'll ust serve; dinner upstairs.' I'm the est little omnibus in the business. it will be a scrumptious lark!" (What' Madge Resolved. , As I mounted the stairs I made the. grim little resolve, that if Le- ia's injury were enough to keep her upstairs, she should not be disturbed by. Bess Dean's, chatter. (That little Mrs. Durkee would do lier .Machiavellan best t'o aid me I was sure, and Jt waswith fierce jly protective feeling- that I enter ed Lelia's wide-open door. Alfred had deposited her upon the chaise longue and was taking: off her hat and coat. Lelia look ed at me' with a wry little smile as I dropped to my knees beside her and began removing her shoes. . "I don't believe this Is going to rThe bad at all. "she said, and .1 Dean's audacious proposal, " and would eat -hejr dinner-downstairs, no matter Tiror badly her ankle was Injured. " Ar';. I f :f But when. I had taken off her shoe , and- stocking, and. with fin gers trained by many household accidents, had run lightly over the swelling,-I agreed with Lelia's optimistic diagnosis. 1 " "How's the Foot?" ! "I'll telephone-for the doctor," Alfred said, anxiously, as he toss ed Leila's hat and coat with mas culine ruthlessness into a heap on the bed. j "No please,'"' Lelia i" implored, 1 $ ... and I seconded her protest. "I'm sure that . is unnecessary, Alfred," I said ' decidedly. "This isn't a M sprain at ! all, and it won't even be painful when I get it bandaged. Suppose you mas- sage her ankle while I' get ;h'ot water and bandages." -1 . "Can't v I get the5 1 things?' he asked with ready courtesy. "No. I'll be quicker, and as an ex-military man you ought to be a first aid of ? the most -skilful kind." . ; ' j I hurried out of the room as I finished4 speaking. I did not in tend that he should g6 . roaming around the house In search of the things ,1 wanted," with' the practi cal certainty of encountering Bess Dean. She was perfectlyr;apable of accompanying him back to Le ila's room and harrowing my ner vous little friend's nerves with her officioTisness '-and protesta tions of" sympathy! '". j-" .. I tested the ater'from the hot water trap in the bathroom, found it steaming hot, and rejoiced that I did not have to make a trip to the kitchen Thanks to Mrs. Dur kee's careful housewifery, I found liniment, ' gauze "and bandages in the medicine cabinet without los ing any time in-the search. And I lost no time In returning tur Lelia's room With a basin of hot water and kit the other things I needed arranged upon a big- tray which careful Mrs. Durkee always keeps in the bathroom t for j emergency use. ... Then,- with Alfred's aid, I bathed,' massaged and : bound up the ankle; finished just as Bess Dean appeared at the door of the room. . i ; I "How's the foot!"j she asked casually, and then turned to Al fred: "Alf. will yon help me bring a table up here?"
