NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By Boatrioo Horton CHAPTER XXI G"' r LORY was certain that the minute the door had closed upon Stanley Wayburn, Dick would come rushing' upstairs to hear what she had to say in her own defence. Trembling, she waited.... 'Jhe ran upstairs and bolted the , door of her bedroom. She was sure she heard the handle of the door turn, and then Dick’s footsteps going down the stairs. Glory presently tiptoed down the stairs and peered between the blue velvet curtains that hung in the doorway. Dick was sitting in one corner of | the davenport. His head was sunk in his thin brown hands. Glory thought she heard him give a low groan. But she was not sure whether he did or not. A sudden rush of pity for him swept over her like a wave. For he must love her the way she cared for Stanley Wayburn... .hopelessly and helplessly! ....And yet Glory knew that in time she would have forgotten all ; about Stanley Wayburn if he had not come bad' She had all but put him out of her heart during the months before her marriage to Dick. And why had he had to come back to spoil Dick's life and hers, too? For Glory was certain that, in a mild sort of way, she would have been quite contented to be Dick's wife all the rest of her days ... if she had not seen Stan again lie had always been able to sweep her off her feet!
mHE doorbell rang. Glory opened it to Dr. John, v— “ Well, well, is tbe little wife (lorried?” he asked in his kindly way when ho saw her troubled face “But there's really no need of it. Dick has just another touch of that ‘flu’ of his. We’ll have him straightened around in a day or two. Where is he?” Glory led the way to the living r00m... “So this is the way you obey orders, it is? I thought I told you to go home and go straight to bed, young fellow!” Dr. John said. Dick stared at him dully. “Go up and put a couple of hot water bottles in his bed, Glory,” Dr. John ordered, taking out his cMnieal thermometer. “He looks as if he’s having a bit of a chill.” The doctor popped his thermometer into Dick’s mouth, as Glory turned to go. She found the only hot water bottle in the house, after a long search and filled it. While Dr. John was helping Dick into bed, Glory telephoned Mother Gregory to come right over. Then she gathered together her night-clothes an armful of her boudior pillows, and the novel she was reading. She carried them all across the hall to the guest-rocm. For she had made up her mind to sleep th ore that night .. . that night, at least. Dick followed his wife around with heavy-lidded eyes. “Here’s a couple of prescriptions. Better go and get them filled right away, Glory,” Dr. John said, busily writing on a small pad as he spoke. She took the slip of paper, put on her things and went downstairs. She drew a long sigh of relief as

She ran upstairs and bolted the door of her room. She tv as sure she heard the handle of the door turn. . . .
she stepped out into the blue-gray dusk of early evening. . . . What a mess life was, Glory thought. / It made you care for the people you ought not to care for. It made the people who meant nothing to you at all, fall in love with you. There was no more plan or ijattern to life than there was to a crazyquilt. Not as much! It was thrown together, so far as she could see. How much more simple everything would be all the way around, for instance, if Stan Wayburn had been in love with her a year ago as .she had been with him . . . and had married her! Then she W'ould never have seen Dick. And he would probably have married some nice home-making girl who would have kept all his socks mended and given him a houseful y f children to make him proud ?.r happy. . . . • * • J the clerk at the drugyy store was filling Dr. John'* —-I prescriptions, Glory went into the telephone booth and called Stan Wayburn at his hotel. “Oh, Stan, I’m so terribly sorry about this afternoon. I wouldn't have had things happen the way. they did for anything in the world,” she told him when she heard his voice. Stan laughed carelessly. “Don't you bother your cute head about me, Russet, for a single second," he said. “Just forget it. I told your husband where to head in, though, by the way.” "You did!’’ Glory's surprise was in her voice. She was sure that it had been Dick who had told Stan w'here to "head in!" Moreover, she remembered how meekly Stan had obeyed when Dick had told him to get out of the house. “I certainly told him nothin,, else but!” Wayburn went on. “You didn’t suppose I was going to lie down like a rug and take all his insults. did you? . . . Not on your gay young life, I w’asn’t! And what's more, I'm going to see you wherever and whenever I want to ... . if you want me to. You do, don’t you?" “Os course, I want to . . . but did you really tell all that to Dick?" Glory asked Incredulously. “N—no, not exactly that way," Stan admitted. “Well, I must ring off, now,” Glory said. "Goodby, Stan.” She w*as vaguely disappointed in Wayburn, She would have liked him to stand up to Dick that afternoon. She wanted to be proud of him, somehow*. • • • kyS i'.EN Glory returned to the I yy I house she found Mother Greg--1 1 ory in charge. She had tied a white apron, cracking with 'starchiness, over her black silk dress, and she was tenderly bathing*Dick's face. “These colds of his come from his stomach. I’m sure of it,” she said
Puzzle a Day
Mr. Hoover was asked by an inquisitive questioner how many problems he had under investigation in the Department of Commerce, at the present time. He told her that if she added as many more, and onehalf as many more, and one-third as many more problems, to those now under consideration, there would be four more than 200. How many problems are under consideration? Ijist puzzle answer: Reading clockwise, the first word is “seel,” meaning to close the eyes of a hawk; second word is “ells,” or snake like fish; third word is “else” or otherwise; fourth word is read counterclockwise | and is “lees," meaning dregs;

accusingly to her daughter-in-law. “He's either been upset over something or Ms diet is all wrong. Do you give him much fried food?” Glory tried to think whether or not Ranghild fried the meat and potatoes very often. She thought not. “Well, anyway, Dick's to have nothing but egg-nog for his supper," Mother Gregory went on without waiting for Glory's reply. "You go dow*n and beat it up while I make Dick comfortable for the night . . . and make me a cup of te~, while you’re at it. I was just sitting down to dinner when you phoned me, and I came right over without a bite.” Glory stood looking helplessly iat Mother Gregory's broad satin-cov-ered back. “How do you make an egg-nog?" she asked finally. Mother Gregory turned and faced her. Her fine black eyes were widened in astonishmeftt. "Well, I never heard of such a thing! You, a grown woman, not knowing how to beat a little milk and egg together!" she exclaimed. “You sit here and wait for me a minute . . . When I finish with Dick I’ll go downstairs with you, and show you how* to make an egg-nog!" She smoothed the pillows under Dick’s head. Then she pulled the hot water bottle from between the sheets, and gave it to Glory. “Go and empty half the water out of that thing!" she ordered. “Never fill a hot water bottle to the very top. It’ll burst If you do . . ..And roll it up in a clean towel before you bring it back!” Silently Glory obeyed. Then the two women went down to Ranghlld’s spotless white kitchen. * * • *' OW then,” Mother Gregory said briskly. “Put on your apron and wash your hands and we’ll get to work. She bustled about collecting milk and eggs and nutmeg as she spoke. , Glory had no aprons of her ow4i. She had no use for aprons. But she found one of Ranghiid’s in a pantry drawer and tied it on. When the egg-nog wus made Dick's mother poured it into a toll glass and set it on a little tray. “You take it up to Dick while I stir around and get a bite of supper for us, Glory," she said. "And see that he drinks every drop of it!” Slowly and unwillingly Glory went upstairs. Dick’s eyes were fixed on the door as she swung it ajar. She set the tray on a chair at the side of Dick’s bed. "Here’s the first meal your little old wife ever cooked for you,” Glory said with a gnvety she was far from feeling. Dick merely looked at her. She slipped an arm behind his shoulders to raise him but he pushed it away. “Give me the glass,” he said shortly. He drained it, and lay down again with his face turned toward the wall. Glory picked up her tray to go. But before she reached the door Dick had called to her.

‘‘Glory, you took your things into the guest-room,” he said. “Yes, I’m going to sleep there tonight.” Glory answered. “I think you’ll sleep more comfortably if you’re in here alone.” But they both knew that was not her reason for going into the guestroom. The thought of Wayburn rose between them like an insurmount* able wall. “Glory, tell me one thing.” Dick said surprisingly. “And think bafor you give me an answer . . . you’re not in love with this Wayburn fellow, are you?” His anger was entirely gone. "That's not the point,” Glory said coldly. "The point is that you’ve shamed and humiliated me before my friends. And I’ll never forgive you for it. I don’t know how I can ever face any of them again.” • • • D" " "IICK sat up in bed. "I wish you never would t__J see any of them again,” he said vehemently. "They're not the kind of people I want you to have for friends. I wonder if you know the things people are saving about May and Jim... beastly things?” "Oh, people! People make me tired the way they gossip about everybody!” Glory said contemptuously. She went out and closed the door loudly. Mother Gregory had a cold supper laid on the kitchen table. She was drinking tea and reading the evening paper. "Have you been asked to join tho new Home Women's Club?” she asked Glory, without raising her eyes from the paper. "I put your name up for it. I want my son’s wife to belong to it.” "Yes, I’ve been asked, and have sent in my first dues,” Glory answered as she took her place at the table. "Thanks for putting me tip for it. I guess most of the women in town are going to be members, aren’t they? I'd hate to he left out.” Mother Gregory pursed up her lips. “Oh, there are a few women who aren’t getting in!” she remarked acidly. “Your friend, Mrs. Seymour, for instance! She'll never be asked to join, If she lives to be a hundred!” Glory was silent. She knew now what Dick meant by the "beastly things” people were saying about May....and Jim Carewe! • • • That night Glory was brushing her hair before the guest-room dresser when she heard a board creak In tho hall outßlde her door. ....Was it Dick? She stood there listening. She was sure that she saw the handle of her locked door turn slowly. Then, a few minutes afterward she was sure she heard the stealthy closing of the door of Dick’s r00m.... Evidently he had gone back to bed....

Mediumship Symptoms Diversified, Wonderful Headache, and Even Neuralgia, Are Believed to Indicate Power Over Spirits.
Note: This is the flft-en article of a series by Virginia. Swala. reporter for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times relating her experiences while spending five weeks incognito at the national spiritualists’ camp. Chesterfield, Ind. By Virginia Swain .V F.A Service Writer HESTERFIELD, Ind , Sept. 12. —The symptoms of me>__J dlumship are varied and wonderful. One should never be too sure at Chesterfield that a sick headache Is a sick headache, or that neuralgia is neuralgia. Either of these may Indicate only a step toward spiritual development. In fact, the really distinguished visitor at camp is the one who can boast the greatest number of queer symptoms of “unfoldment.'' It is the fashion to speak of ‘‘exhaustion in the solar plexus” after a seance, thereby impressing the other members in tho circle with one’s great susceptibility to “the forces." Extreme sensitiveness to light after a seance is also another proof to the assembled company that one Is highly developed In mediumship. Sign of Clairaudlence One little old woman sitting near me in a seance of Mrs. Mattie Nichols and Mrs. Mable Riffle, spoke up in a trembling voice. “Mrs. Riffle, I feel something being drawn over my head, just like an iron cap. It seems as If my head would burst. What is it?” “Oh, dearie,” said Mrs. Riffle, "that should make you very happy. It is the sign of clairaudlence. You will find your powers fully developed soon.” "Oh, thank you so much.” gasped the woman, and relapsed Into pride and gratitude for her headache. Chesterfield declares that it is anxious to develop as many mediums as possible, so as to bring light to communities where there are no medium missionaries now. Hard hi (let In But whereas Chesterfield pretends to welcome new workers, there are sinister humors about camp of the difficulty which applicants meet in getting in. Mrs. Myrtle of East St. Louis, a materializing and clairvoyant medium, who came in July with her mother to gain entrance to the Chesterfield ring, was one of those who found the barriers higher and stronger than she had expected. Mrs. Mary Murphy Lydy allowed Mrs. Larson the privilege of giving a seance in her cottage one night, to demonstrate her powers to the crowd. It was here that I first saw the trick of ectoplasm weaving out of the air. Mrs. Lydy’s spirit had never tried this, and Mrs. Lydy was much Impressed by the demonstration. At every seance of hers that I attended after that, her spirits wove ectoplasm. just as Mrs. Larson’s spirits had done. But in spite of the fact that Mrs. Larson could teach some of the Chesterfield mediums new tricks, she had some difficulty in gaining a permit to operate at camp, and that not until next year. Her mother was refused a permit altogether. Must Pass Test The Chesterfield circulars declare that every medium allowed to work

on the grounds must first pass a stringent test of mediumship before the board of directors. J. P. Clark, Hart’s assistant, told me when he was "tested,” Dr. Post, Dr. Bute and a third fat man sat on his arms ana legs to make sure that he did not move during the manifestations. He was quite lame from the effects for days, he said. But a former member of the association, who will testify at (he October trials of the fourteen mediums indicted, has explained to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Clarence Davisson that the tests are simply an agreement to stick to the crowd, betray no secrets and turn in all information about clients to the general clearing house, maintained by Mrs. Sarah Pierce, for the use of the other mediums at camp. Next: The wages of mediumship. SEVEN DEAD IN ACCIDENTS OVER INDIANA FRIDAY Five Deaths Result of Auto Mishaps—Painter Is Electrocuted.
