: THE WATSON WILDNESS !

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*

the thought from his mind; she would
forglTe his closeness when she understood
the reason for his trip. Whla*
tltng heartily, he jumped Into his wait*

1 The old mare at last pulled into th
suburbs of the city. Leaving the ri
at a public stable, Elmer started out z
! once for one of the many Jewelr
shops. It was lunch time, but whs
was mere food in comparison with th
1 great object of the trip?

Even the bracelet with the queer blu
i stones reposed in his pocket when z
J last he started homeward.

, he was surprised to see no friendl

j "Must be some neighbor's sick, Hai
' na," he said, staring. "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

I "A Watson!" he whispered, slnkin

Then he began to pace the floor. H
i had known that Milly had gone t
1 school with Fred Kent ?that they ha
been boy and girl sweethearts.
"It can't be!" he cried. "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!"
At this point the two turned swlftl]
The creak of a door had startled then

a ; "I hope I gave you a good scare!"
j she cried vibrantly. "You deserve one,
I Elmer Greely! Any man who'll go off
j with another woman, who'll buy her
I things when his wife is slavin' for him
j night and day!" !n trembling con-1
i tumely she flung down on the table a
j scrap of white paper and stood back,
as though to say that that could finish
^ her sentence for her.
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!"

She walked several miles before
reaching the car line. It was the first
