Revelations A Wife jtagjjg

TMF KXn WTION MOTH UK .KII M li:M M1 l FROM K T!F M RFOKTVFD I K M IJI.Id W We were not left lone in doubt as to the ideality of the person knock-

e on th door of the library My other-ln-law's voice sounded omin-

cusiy rrnni me orner siae 01 i: "Let me in at once " Ullsan's eyes swept the room, then s'.ir po.nted to a dark recess beneath a desk. I crammed Mother Graham a hat Into ttal roatly bandbox, pit on the cover, and slipped the

box into the place she had indicated, j My father had moved toward the

door, watching me as he went When I had roncead the box and was . nd laf erect again, he opened the doer. ! mother-ln-Iaw majsstlc In spite of her i.afhrobe and slippers f- de info the room, her hand fTip--I l e Katie's arm as she brought the a ts into the room with her by a arts of Jerks, Katie evidently being !"trmln4 that no movement of her n should assist the elder woman's p")gresa My litt'e maid's cheeks were flushed, her eyes flittering, but fir Hps were compressed into a thin Itoi and I guessed that she had given my mother-in-law no word of enlightenment. Thim' Moment. Margaret" Mother Graham baan. her voire choking with anger. This thing has reached the limit' "You're going to fire this girl or I'm going to leave vour roof forever I've at nod everyttong. but when it comes to her coming Into my room while I'm asleep and stealing my best hat oh! you needn't look so astonished

X Just the name as caught her at it

ust now I wakened out of a sound

ieep. and heard somebody closing

iriy door. At first, dazed. I dian t

realize what it meant, then when I "had roused myself. I guess that this ape had" Katie's composure broke suddenly. "Don't you call me outside mine own name, you " I took a step toward her, and she topped speaking, although her eyes lashed venomously at my angry gnother-in-law, and with a swift lithe movement she twisted herself away from the elder woman's grasp, backed to the rear ot the room and stood there at bay. Tou see, Margaret!" My mother-in-law's voice was triumphant "See what your training has accomplished! But I've no time to consider that now As I was saying. I guessad that this aps " she repeated the words measuredly. while kent my yea compelllngly upon Katie's ' had been in my room. I lighted iny lamp put on my bath robe and Rippers and looked around my i-orr-. At first I missed nothing, then I opened my closet and found ;. best bandbox gone. I've heard l"-r admire It a dozen times, but I iMa'1 think she'd have the nerve to t "m' In and take it. You Menu ?" I didn't wait to look anywhere b t ru.h' d out into the hall and 1 md her Just slinking through to side of the house. Then I nabl her went to your room, found : S one there, and came down her. I now I want you to make her tell

lat she did with that bandbox. She sn't opened her mouth except for

that Impudent speech you heard."

I think Lillian had waited only for this !nt is-mran before speakit:'--t any rate, the words hardly hg I my mother-in-law's lips befor llian had crossed to her and looking intently into her eyes. "H:ir Mother Graham." she sal ::netly "there ar r-asons )v . ' not wish Katie to remain hM v bile ou receiv. the -xplaration r v h'. h gofl are entitled concerning J our hat. Will you take my wor I I hat I know what happened to th 1 indb.'X. and that K a ' i did not take 1: from your room? Then we can and hT to her room." Into Mother Graham's face cr pi n look of delighted comprehension. "You mean." she .-aid significantly, "that it has something to do with F.xaftly." returned r,illlan. 'Then you may iro to bed " Shnej saapaMcsuntly re Katie "Aft maybe this will cure you of snoop ing around I never would have inspected you if you weren't always so meddlesome." I suspect it took all of Katie's valty to me to remain rilent, but Ah my eyes upon hers she utter 1 word but walked out of the room with a dignity almost as royal as Mother Graham's own Lillian signed to Alien Drake to as the door afti b r, then she pfcaoai s chair for Mother Graham.

and waited until we were all seated before she spoke. I suspected that rhe was In Dicky' parlance "stalling for time." until ahe should have perfected her story. "We have taken a greAt liberty u:th you. Mother Graham." Lillian f'egan deprecatlngly. but, really, it seemed as !f we could do nothing In. It became necessary to secrete a certain paper In a place w here no one would ever think of looking for It. After long deliberation, the covering of your best hat vi selected, the covering waa ripped and the paper secreted Tonifrht we wished to submit the paper to Mr. Spencer, and. therefore. Madge went to your room and took the box out We have !t her, and I am sure you will see that but for a rip In a Mm which Madge can saw up ajra.n without any one's noticing that it has been disturbed. ! has not been hurt In the least. Here it .s." he drew the box from Its hiding :lare and handed It to my astonlshd mother-ln-'.aw while I admired 'ho adroit manner in which she had at -rted bTame from Katie without aving anything that was not strict'y true.

I sew the paper Into the hat I would have been glad to do It. Then here would have been no need for all thlb flub dubbery." "I know," Lillian's voice was meekly deprecating. "But. you see. the necewity arose one dsy when you were away, and besides at that time an oath of secrecy had been taken you understand " A Mocking Tribute All the resentment fled from Mother Graham's delighted face. "On. yea" she ad. "Wall! rm glad my poor old hat was able to he'.p a little. Good night" She picked up her bandbox and swept through the or which Alice Drake sprang to open for her. As he closed the door behind her he swept Lillian a mocking bow "How's the poor old truth-telling conscience?" he asked "It must be groggy But I wish to make you obeisance. Milady That waa a most artistic performance cud Machlaveill's dust murtt be atlrrlng uneasily in the crypt about now." Lillian made an impatient little moue at him " The evening program Isn't quite finished. Allen." she drawled. "I think, if you can bring your a;!eged mind down to cases. Mr Spencer has something more to say." "Not very much." my father returned. "We all must get some sleep for there will he strenuous work, for Allen at least tomorrow Mrs Underwork gave me an Inkling of rhat Is up. but we must hear the whole story of what you wish ua to do. Will H take long?" No." she replied promptly, and proved her statement by relating in remarkably few words the account of the persecution of, Katie as) the hands of the man Anton, and of his terrible accident upon the very night when he had accompanied her to the rendezvous, of Katherine's installation at the hospital as nurse for the injured Joe. She added the Information of Smith's coming to the Brlggs farm under the name Anton, and his ransacking of Katie's room, wttn Tom Chester's consequent discovery of the concealed papers in the eyegUSfl earn As she finished speaking.

she handed to my father Katherine's hurriedly penciled memoranda of the code used by Joe and Anton, and to Allen Drake the eyealaae case, lifting the ingenious lining aa she did so and exposing the thin white papers beneath. " Nothing More TonUrht." My eves were drawn irresistibly to Allen Drake He Is at his best when any unusual problem la given him. and I always have been oddly fascinated In watching his transforma'lon from an Indolent, elegant posturer to the keen ruthless almost blood-hound-like personality which he become when he is on a mental trail. He took the papers from the lining, felt one. sniffed at it. and held It up to the light. To my imagination his eyes seemed to be narrowed 'o pin points his whole face appeared sharpened, and Its natural pallor .a a - r; t.-i -1 Then he V-r'.rJ r,ut eaat and papers to my father, and spoke with his cuetomarv draw. "Thesw ou?ht to afford a good time o all. Chief "Alr. thej-e." my father returned. - !ng him Katherine's memoranda Mr Drake read the hastily-scribbled papers attentively, and looked a1 Lillian "The old stuff, with but a little variation, eh?" he said with a smile. "It's a wonder they wouldn't invent something eke after a while." "I faney that little variation may give even you a few strenuous accounts." she said a bit spiritedly. "Perhaps." he returned, and then my father rose, spoke with dederialon.' "Nothing more tonight!" he said "I simply wanted to get these into Allen's hands, for he wakes at ome unearthly hour fn the morning, works awhile, and then goes tg sleep again. Now, Daughter. Aear, I want one thing of you. Take thli " he held out the memorandum which had been hidden in Mother Graham's ha "and get Katie to reproduce as nearly as possible the eopy she made. And now, goodnight" He kissed me, and Lillian and I went away together. As we went up he stairs she whispered with the first bit of malice I ever had heard from her: "Did von hear Allen's inie about

that code? That lad Is retting insufferably conceited I wish " She abruptly switched her sentence to a trivial comment upon the chilliness of the night. But I gussaed that she had mentally echoed Katie's wish and mine concerning Allen Drake.

Wonderful Riding Comfort Th- Roden Airless Tire provides greave- riding : ;fort than air. It is the first airless tire that cannot harden or crumble. The body is uf live, resilient rubber. Although it Is the lightest product ever achieved in tires of this character. ;t is an actual shock absorber, taking all the bumps without injury to the tire and reducing wear on the car. And all this without inducing friction and heat in the casing. Th-? Roden Airless Tire obtains its remarkable resiliency from the fact that the live rubber radial mats are set on the end of the grain of the rubber. These mats form an interior body. This body with the casing, sida wai: and tread are cured in the same "heat" or vulcanizing operation. Thus is one complete, cohesive, shock absorbing substance produced. The Roden Airless Tire is the first and on'.y

practical tlrs constructed ang tha principle of laminated rubber. That it Is a oonrvplet

success has been proven by the most thor

and rigorous tets. Roden Airless Tires cost approximately th same as standard cord tires with tubes. They are for sale at all Consolidated TTre Stores.
