: THE WATSON WILDNESS ! _____ J By LEONORE KELLY. J A* Elmer Greely ate hie breakfast with a singing heart. Indeed, it was a tangoing heart! Was Rhe not at last gonot believe, with WSBL ^J? all the rest of jBpA River Hill, that inP ^"1*1dulgence would J spoil this member t? X of the Watson d j tribe. He had I | laughed at the i~ r -?I dire warnings of thd village when he had married her. "Aa if Milly would turn out wrong just because her ancestors did!" he had scoffed Indignantly. If he had been financially able to, he would have "shown" the town, then and there, by covering her with rings and necklaces immediately after the ceremony. All through his engagement his heart had burned with indignation against the old aunt who had brought her up; not one jot of fun had ?v. the child ever had. Instead of telling the girl that he longed to do things for her, and some day would, he kept the wish locked tight in his heart. "Ooln' to buy another machine?" | he asked listlessly as Bhe cleared the table of the breakfast dishes. Elmer nodded. He tried to conceal the amtle that would come on hie face, and failed. "What you amllln' at 7" she asked quickly, stopping short "Oh, nothin'," he answered gruffly. Tm just feelln' good, that's all. I guess It was your coffee, Mllly." * He noticed that she was a little stiff I when he kissed her good-by and start* \ ad oat for the stable, but he tossed the thought from his mind; she would forglTe his closeness when she understood the reason for his trip.

"Nothin' els 1 would take Milly away from home a this hour. Why, it's seven o'clock!" In the dining room, just as he ha , toped, he found a note. 1 "Dear Elmer," It read, "I have gon up to Harperville to spend the da ( with Fred Kent," I "A Watson!" he whispered, slnkin I 1 J UI?

"Oh, Milly i Milly! You're Just my simple littl ! girl! I know you, Milly!" Yet, there was the incrimlnatin note?and written by her own hand! Not exactly knowing where he wa going, he strode swiftly to the doo and out into the darkness. He foun his feet taking him to the house c Milly's aunt. Perhaps the old lad would be able to throw some light o things. But the old lady was as much at se as Elmer himself. "Milly gone!" she cried. Elmer hesitated before launchin, the worst fact "She's?she's not alone," he bega; gradually. "She's?with a man." "A man!" she grew white to her fit ger-tlps. He nodded. "Fred Kent" "Why, Fred Kent's dead!" she erlef "Why, boy, Mllly's foolln' you! Sh khows he died last week. I told h* so myself!"

With a quick step Elmer bent over lt It. It was the list of jewelry articles. "An' it's not the first time you've n bought things for her," accused Mllly. y " 'Bracelet to match the blue necklace.' What blue necklace? There's none on the list!" But Elmer was in no mood to an^ swer her; his heart was beating prayers of thankfulness at the discovery that she had not gone the way of other Watsons. "Come home,' he said gently, taking e her arm firmly in his, "and we'll see y who that other woman Is!"
