Married Couples Show Intelligence By Puiising At Divorce

DEAR MISS DIX: What is your opinion about the separation o! husbands and wives? My husband left me and now he wants to come back to the children and me and for us to forget all that has happened Ind to start fresh. Do you think a motlier alone can make a success iii rearing her Children? Do you think that if t; couple still care for each other they can blot out the past and make their chil-

dren a better home and give them a better start in life than the mother eould do alone? What is necessary" to make a success of a marriage that once has failed '.' A IIOPEFUL WIFE AND MOTHER

lt takes love, and lots of it, to make a go of any marriage for, all malarky to the contrary, no

Ierriageever came up to the expectations of the high contracting par- ties. No bride ever turned out to be the pin-feathered angel her bride-

groom thought he was getting. If a girl's dreams.

No husband was ever tiie great lo\'er

They all had selfishness and egotisiii and whims and other unpleas- snt peculiarities, and if tiie husband and wife did not have enough love

‘.0 offset their mates’ faults. the marriage went on the rocks.

But the

saving factor in thousands of marriages is that so many husbands and wives who hair been fighting together like Kiikeiiny cats don't rush

to the divorce courts.

TIME TO COOL OFF

They separate. and that gives them time to cool off and think the

situation over and come to their senses.

The husband discovers that

with all hei‘ faults he loves Mary Jane still. and Mary Jaiic soaks licr pil- low with tears because life is dust and ashes to her without Tom. and both of them are conscience-stricken when tliey look at their little chil- dren and think how they have betrayed them.

So I think that the husbands and viives who have parted in anger sre very wise when they kiss and make up and give marriage a sec»

Ind trial.

They have had a hard lesson that has left them wiser, more

tolerant, more forgiving, more appreciative of each others good qualities. My earnest advice to all separated couples is to give marriage an- vther trial before they throw it into the discard.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: My boy friend has asked me to wait six

roars before we get married.

ANSWER: Well. your boy friend doesn't seem to be an impetuous lover. Evidently he is taking time to analyze the situation and deter-

mine whether he really wants you for a wife or not.

But it strikes me

that he is a trifle dliatory if he expects you to wait six years for him to make up his nilnd. You must be a descendant of Patient Griselda if you

hang around waiting on this slow-moving lover.

Any girl with spunk

would make him put up, or shut up. for it doesn't pay a girl to wait too long for a wedding ring. A girl doesn't get prettier and younger

By Uncle Joe

THE PHANTOM TERROR

The frightful thing that happen- ed to Mary King of Prince County had the whole countryside rigog with excitement. At midnight on October 6, I801, Mary King. the 12- year-old daughter of a fisherman. screamed into the quiet night:

"I've been attacked by a strange man! . Come to me, father. quick! A mun tried to kill me with his bare hands!"

l-ler father and mother rushed up the stairs and entered tiie bed- room, where they found their daughter in a state of hysteria. though able to give a fairly good description of what the man look- ed like, as well as what had hap- pened.

She was just dozing off to sleep. she said. when something woke her up. Raising herself on one elbow. she listened. The soft sound of footsteps came to her earsfihut lier eyes failed to pick up the intruder. A moment passed and then tiie in- visible thing had her by the throat and was choking the iifc from her body.

"That's when I screamed. father.“ she sobbed.

Her parents made a thorough search of the bedroom, but found everything in order.

"Are you sure, dear?" questioned her mother. "Perhaps it was only a had nightmare."

She indignantiy stuck to her story: "No! l ivas attacked. I tell you! Even now l can feel the

pain in my throat."

The parents were skeptical. but one hour latcr the child had .1 similar experience, though she'd been removed to another room on the lower floor. This time Mary was gasping and choking when her father rushed into lier room, and she appeared to be partly para- lyzed.

O O O

Previous to.this event the com- munity where Mary King lived was just another peaceful, lave-abiding district. Now, however, the whole countryside was swept with fears and futile gossip.

The curious case attracted the attention of the sheriff, who made it his business to make a thorough investigation into the matter. With him was his deputy and a promin- ent lawyer of Charlottetown. The lawyer and the sheriff's deputy de- cided to sit up all night. The sher- iff himself occupied the room in which the girl had slept the night the phantom terror made his first attack.

About midnight, that night. the deputy and the lawyer were shaken out of their reveries by tiie cry of "Help! help!" It was the voice of the sheriff. "That madman is chok- inf! me to death!"

in a matter of minutes the two men climbed tiie stairs, rushed into the room. Then something happen- ed that neither the lawyer nor the deputy expected.

Instead of paying attention to the writhing form of tlic sheriff, the two men's eyes were glued on thc retreating figure that crossed the room to vanish through tiie open window. '

By this time all the family were aroused. A thorough search of the room revealed nothing that would lead to a clue. Outside it was raining cats and dogs, and the ground about the house was soft and muddy. But no trace of a hu- man footprint could be found.

Next day, after the sheriff made some further investigation, the mystery was still unsolved. The phantom terror ivas still at large.

After his terrifying experience tiie sheriff ordered the house va- cated and burned.

You have just been reading tiie talc of the phantom terror, as strange a case of the supernatural as ever found its way into tlic legends of Prince Edward Island-- the case to which there was found no solution.
