REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
A Trasli: !xe Story Ii 'I'lirn-C

Dr. Meredith's voice, as lie spoke

book. I mentally commented Hint

tion for her, ho could not speak
so calmly, even (hough, as ho hud
just told in f. all his ll'-tllt Was
given to Kathcrine.
He had paused In Ills story, evi
dently expecting me to make some
comment upon it. Unt rny inomoii
Inry Hash, of absurd terror that
Dicky might In; the art it In;
meant, had robbed mo of the
power of coherent speech. I fomnl
myself murmuring the first thing
that came, into my head hut it
proved to be a pertinent question
after oil.
"Why did you mary some, one
else?" I asked. "Did Kalherinc r(;- j
fuse to marry you'.'" !
"No, although she probably
would have done bo, for them
were a dozen better men than I
who probably did put the question
to her. But I never asked her, the
more fool I."
"Then I do not see where yon
hive any right to rail at your
fate," I said, getting bank my wits
With the assuiance that Dicky was
in no way involved In this unhnp
py life atory of Hal and l.ucia
Meredith.
"I haven't, not the shadow of
one," he returned humbly, "but I
can't help It. Look here!" wilh
sudden fierceness "did you never
know of any one's ruining his life
out cf a twisted notion of grati
tude?" "Yea, I have," I returned prompt
ly. "But "
"That's exactly what I did," he
returned. "Oh! I know I sound like
the worst kind of rad to tell ynu
this, but it's something I never
have been able to tell Katherltie
a man can't very well say to a
woman, 't loved you passionately,
but I never told you so because out
of gratitude T married another
woman.' It's taking her own feel
ing too much for granted. No, I
can't tell Iter. Don't you see'.'"
Dicky I'lays Havi'sdi-npprr
"I see," 1 said slowly, for I com- j
prehended his dilemma. I saw t
something else also, however. Con-
soiously or unconsciously lie v.iui
counting upon my telling Kather-
Ine the story he was afraid to r;- j
late, to her. '

Prudence counselled a negative

Ugh' (.nly in the room where
Katie rltio lay, the kitchen and the
halls, ventured to ldd to tny curi

"It. I'll t a long story," he said.
"I'M you know Kathcrlno Kin

"No," I return! d. "I first met her
a vnir or two before her mar
riage." "Then j on know something of
uh.it a winsome bonny thing she
was," lie said, and his voice was
Mhiunt with strong feelings, "I fell
in love with her the first time I
ever raw her. and love soon be
came absolute adoration."
Picky is a royal lover when he
nhoses to be, yet never l ad I heard
in his voice such stress of emo
tion as roughened the rich mellow
loins of the man telling me his
life story.
"But," his vohjo Itnttuiod, be
came, monotonous, "Ihere was an
old man to whom I owed every
thing, my education, my start. In

been but one reason for J.uoia's

I'lilovcd and unloving husband and
wife, with tint knowledge that the
woman had been saved from dis

Lucia Meredith's return for that
sacrilico was an avowed affection
for another man!
".So you see lrom my standpoint,
there is nothing on my side lo keep
me from moving heaven and earth
to win the woman 1 have loved so
long. Won't 'ju take pity on me?"
His voice unconsciously had risen,
and the last words could easily
have been heard by anyone on the
farmhouse veranda. That they had
been heard, I icali.cd lo my hor
ror as I saw a figure dash down the
veranda steps and stride toward
the car.
It was Picky!

LRGELY on medical advice,
j women are abandoning the old
limc "sanitary-pad" for a new u-ay
that supplants uncertainty with posi
tive protection.
Sheer frocks and ill-timed social
engagements no longer remain as
worries. Lost days are fewer, and
health better.
. It is called "KOTEX." Ends the
insecurity of the old time sanitary
ad. Five times as ahsorbentl And
ctccdnricts ends ALL fear of of
fending. As easily disposed of as a piece of
tissue- No laundry. No embarrass
ment. Yoti get it at any drag or depart

' KOTEX." You as for it without

As a matter of fact, sharp' eyes
did keep watch around Farmer

Spooky the Screech Owl learned long
ago that now and then he could pick
up a young Hat around Farmer
Brown's barnyard, or a venturesome
Mouse running across from the barn
to tha house. Black Pussy the Cat
delighted to hunt in that barnyard.
Jimmy Skunk, Iteddy Fox, even

suggested that he "might be per-

lle-.e her e;:rs. He was delivering
himself into her hands! Could he
go .'hopping with her? Ho could
and a radiant smile went with the
permission.
The occasion, being of n moment
ous chin icier, reniiil-cd the services
of the Brooke limousine. Alice, from
an upper window, witnessed their de
parture, which was effected with
the fully expeditionary escort of
chauffeur and footman. She. stared
until ihe big car disappeared from
sight down the avenu", then flung
h-rself weakly into a big chair and
indulged in n long period of thought.
Constance began the campaign
with feints intended to conceal ma
jor operations, and at the same time
lo test Ihe resistance of the enemy.
'doves were a feint, for Instance.
Tho enemy followed her Into the
glove shop. He did not Intend to bo
obtrusive, but he appeared to be In
terested in gloves. Ho watched the
selection closely; once he made a
suggestion, which was, of course, ac
cepted on Ihe spot.
Constance laid aside Severn! pairs,
after a deliberate examination of
many dozen, and then casually iu
iiuirc.l the price. She frowned
doubtfully when the amount was
mentioned.
'o much?" she murmured In a
surprised ten-. "Wait, please."
Followed then an examination of
the contents of her purse. It was
not by any means an empty purse,
for Constance had been saving her
daily allowance, chiefly because dili
gence r.u an eflicieney secretary had
afforded Utile opportunity for spend
ing. The examination resulted In a
shake of the. head. She could buy
Ihe gloves easily; but there were
other things to buy.
With an almost Inaudible sigh sho
lif.cd four pairs of gloves from the
approved s-.'.ections and handed
them ha'-k to the clerk.
Among them, perhaps merely by
chance, was the pair concerning
whieh H. Hedge had displayed in

said.
The efficiency man gave a brisk
shake of his head, reached for the
condenini d gloves, and placed them
back on ihe pile.
"We have an account here." lie
remarked. "The gloves may be

Constance was not quite sure,
whether she was surprised or not.
She was always somewhat fearful of
initial success.
"I expected to pay for therm," she
said meekly, still fumbling her

"Charge the gloves." commanded
H. Hedge sharply, addressing the
clerk. ' Wrap th-m up."
Constance elofed her purse with
seeming roiuotanre.
'"Why thank you," she aaid.
"I seo no need," he answered.

Infantile paralysis, Ilk" other
acute Infections, Is caused by a
germ. A good deal is known ubout
this germ, but we arti not yet a1'1'
mire of Its Identity.
' These germs aciunlly VIII many
of thn large nerve cells In the brain
and spinal cord, and, when these big
cells die, their function, wmcu

moves certain parts of the ho.i,
slops. The body doca not seem to
have the power to create new cells
of this kind.
If there tire a sufficient number
of these cells left th-y may grad
ually overcome the paralysis.
How la Infantile paralysis con
trncied? It seems quite definitely proven
that the germs which cause this
disease enter the body through the
mucous membrane of the nose. Tlvy
apparently spread through lympha
tic glands alongside of certain nerve
trunks. They always come from
some one who has the disease, who
Is recovering from II, or who, will)
or without having been sick, has
beee.nte a. carrier of Ihese germs.
At times the disease may be co
mild as to escape? being recognized,
there being only very slight paraly.
sis or possibly none at all.
persons Buffering from Infantile
paralysis should remain In quaran
tine tor at bast six weeks as u pre
lection to others.
In the present state of our knowl
edge, It Is not practicable to at.
tempt to detect the chronic danger
ous carriers as Is done in the case
of diphtheria or typhoid fever.
The length of time required for
the disease, to develop after ex
posure has not been definitely deter
mined, but appears to be within llvw
to ten days. Vsually there ar no
symptoms during this stage, though ,
there may be slight indisposition
and sometimes a little, sore throat.
The actual onset of the disease
Is usually sudden. There is fever,
there may be vomiting, and in chil
dren there may be convulsions.
Paralysis, If present, occurs very
early in the course of the disease
and is greatest at that time.
The most, common form for the
paralysis lo assume Is that of in
volvement of on!! leg. Next after
this is involvement of one arm and
one leg, usually the opposite leg. In
the legs of the muscles most com
monly affected are those which ex
tend the hip and knee and these ,
which raise the foot. In the ppp'r
extremity the shoulder' muscles are
most often affected.
The mortality from Infantile, par
alysia varies in different epidemics.
In New York in HUH, 27 per cent
of those who were attacked died.
There if a crumb of comfort in
I Knowing mat ino initial paralysis is
the. maximum -that all subsequent
change Is toward improvement.
Where Improvement occurs, this
may continue for a year or a vear
and a half, e,r longer, what Is gained
being relumed.
If, however, there Is no Improve-
ment. whatever during the first three
months following the attack, then
none is likely to occur, but n'o cose
should be considered hopeless until
all remedial measures have ben
exhausted.
Tha treatment of Infantile par
nlysis, though still unsatisfactory, is
important and should be rendered by
a skilled physician. There la no
medicine that will gure the disease,
though some medicines may be wt
ful in the acute tage.
Children under five are most stis.
ceplible but the disease may occur
at any age. Keep your children at
home when the disease ia prevalent.
Teach them how to avoid contact
with others such as might give rise
to infection.
