JUI.ES RETURNS
1'VigiiU'iii'd, unhappy and puzzled
as Margaret was when she reached
)!'-: room, her mental condition did
not Improve aa she sat and waited
lor her husband and tried to come
to a decision as to what it would
be b' st to tell him. And should she
say anything at all about her
meeting with the German officer?
icriifips it would be as well to
make no reference to him, Inas
much as she had tacitly agreed to
regard what he had said as conli
dential. It would be rather foolish
and pointless to say to Jules:
"J. met Herr schlacht and had a
chat with him, but cannot repeat
our conversation to you."
Besides, the whole Incident was
utterly Insignificant In comparison
with the other matter of which she
must speak.
At the end of one ol the longest
arm unnappiest days of her life,
Margaret's husband knocked at the
bolted door of Margaret's room,
and, protesting surprise at finding
the door bolted and barred against
him, was admitted after satisfying
her as to his identity.

CUNDOWN
THE BIG BOX
By Mary Graham Bonner
"Isn't it wonderful!" exclaimed
Rip, the Dog, as the animals trooped
outside and saw over WiUy Nilly's
home and shop the freshly painted
sign reading:
"WILLY NILLY AND COMPANY
REPAIR SHOP AND THINGS
JUST FOR PUN." Rip, the dog,
particularly liked the sign because
he had been given a home by Willy
Nilly and Willy Nilly had told him
that he was the "company" part of
the Willy NiUy and Company.
"You did a very good Job," said
Top Notch, the Rooster, "and the
paint which you got some time ago
at my General 8tore shows up very
well."
But now they all went back Into
the shop so they could see and hear
more about the games and surprises
Willy Nilly had in the big box.
It was a very, very largo box and
during the time the animals had
been asleep or off a-wandcrlng he
had filled it with many, many pack
ages which contained Things Just
for Pun.
"I must really go to sleep Just as
soon as I get out the first package
for all of you," Willy Nilly said. He
opener the package. Inside was a
map J the United States mounted
on a cover of a cardboard box.
"Now," said Willy Nilly, "here 1
have a map, and I'll cut out every
state, and Uien you can put It all
together again, making every part
fit."
Willy Nifty showed them how to
put together the first two pieces,
and rjell Duck, standing on a single
foot, used the other foot to arrange
the pieces.
But now Willy Nilly simply had to
take a nap. When he awoke they
had not progressed very far.
Mrs. Quacko was trying to fit the
state of California next to Illinois,
and It mixed up the whole thing.

fake and noisy easiness, and to
conceal eonsouuMiess of wrong-doing
by exaggerated dcmonstratlve
ncss, Jules Miilitnl found his wife
in no mood for the reception ol
forced humor or forced affection.
As he advanced to put his arms
about her, he found himself coolly,
lirmly, and very definitely, checked
and repulsed. Expecting fierce an
ger, accusation, and a torrent of re
proach, he found an attitude ol
calm, cool seriousness and deter
mination, that was more disturb
ing. Rightly or wrong, he firmly be
lieved, in the light of a not exigu
ous experience, that the best way
to argue with an angry woman was
with a closed mouth pressed firm
ly against hers; and that any of
fended girl can be quickly kissed
from bad temper Into good temper.
But this was not an angry and
bad tempered woman.
It was a woman cruelly hurt, bad
ly frightened, and quite determined
upon her line, of conduct.
"I say, I'm terribly sorry about
lost night," he began, as Margaret's
extended hand repulsed his. em
bracer "I don't know what they
gave me, but one minute I was sit
ting there chatting with dad and
the Kaid and old schlacht and
Ralsul and the next minute I woke
up In dad's room, hours later, and
absolutely blotto."
Tell me, Jules. Did you get
drunk? Just be serious and tell me
the truth, because it's most terribly
Important. I won't say a word ol
reproach."
Drunk, my dear, on a glass or
two of claret? You don't think my
head's as weak as all that, do you?
Have you ever seen me drunk, or
In the slightest degree the worst'
for drink, in all the years that you
nave known me?"
No, I naven't, Jules, until
came to Morocco. You've been
drinking far more than is good for
you, lor the last six months It
seems like six years. But I have
not seen you drunk."
Gently snaking his head, Jules
smiled reproachfully.
"And you really did not get drunk
last night, Jules?"
Jules again smiled reproachfully,
ana treated the question as un
worthy of further answer.
"Very well then," continued Mar.

"You hoped and knew I should
be drugged?"
'I didn't say that. On hearing
that you were Insensible, speech
less, apparently dead drunk, I hoped
that you had been drugged. I knew
you had been drugged. I was cer
tain you had not merely made a
beast of yourself."
"Thank you," Interrupted Jules
Mangnl with a hint of sarcasm.
very kind of you."
"Well, kindness Is a virtue." he
continued, as Margaret, white fac
ed and big-eyed, watched him with
intent anxiety, "and virtue is Its
own reward. You have It for I
exercised exactly the same virtue of
kindness toward you. Both of us
kind, and both of us, rewarded."
'I was going to say you show
your kindness in a curious manner,
Jules, in leaving me alone here all
night, but of course It wasn't your
fault. It was my misfortune. But
It mustn't happen again, Jules. You
mustn't leave me alone again, while
we're here. And we mustn't be here
a day longer than Is absolutely
necessary for making preparations
for the Journey."
Wliy this sudden fear of being
alone, and this unrest?"
"I should be afraid to be left
alone again as I was last night
because of Ralsul."

mlttally.
