In these days one hears a great‘

Here she "f.

martyr crowns when they pass from the scene of their torturing into the Great Peace. But for a man to have to live, year , after year, with a wife who makes his; home a place of continual conﬂict, and who takes a. sadistic pleasure in tormenting him ‘ in every way that her cruel and devilish feminine ingenuity can suggest, is for him to endure a long-drawn out suffering whose bitterness it not to be told.

I

Yet we all see this done every day. We all know women who con- I sider themselves models of virtue and lights in the church who have 1 murdered their hiubands just as surely by their coldness, their neglect l‘ and their tempers as if they had slain them with some lethal weapon. We have known husbands who have been stabbed to death by a million wounds from a venomous tongue. We have known husbands who have starved to death for affection and appreciation. We have known many slave husbands who were worked to death to supply a wife's greed for luxuries. No one knows how many of the men who drop dead in their offices of what the doctors diagnose as heart failure die because their wives have broken their hearts.

The wife who meets her husband with a snarl when he comes home after a hard day's work, and who never says a. kind or pleasant word to him, but insults and abuses him; the wife who is whining and complain- ing and who reproaches her husband with not being able to make as much money as some other man does; the wife who belittles her husband in the presence of others and who throws cold water on all of his hopes and plans; the wife who teaches her children to ‘treat their father with contempt. does not think of herself as a murderess. But she is one never the less. because she killed all the joy, all the peace and contentment, all the hopes and ambitions and dreams in her husband's life.

Nor are women the only spiritual murderers. Husbands are just as often guilty of the crime. and many a man who esteems himself a good husband. because he feeds and clothes his wife, would have done a less cruel thing to her if he had shot her down at. the alter than he did w take her to a home where he would kill her by slow degrees by his grinding tyranny and coldness and neglect.

There are plenty of men who ever show their wives any tenderness or affection or do anything to make them happy. Plenty of men who never speak to their wives except to find fault with them. Plenty of men who make ‘domestic slaves of their wives and never give them l penny of the money they earn by doing the work of half a dozen servants. Plenty of men who make marriage so hard and joylcss to their WW5 i that they are glad to lie down and die . I I It is a terrible thing for men and women to take the lives of others

into their hands. as they do when they marry. and if they fail to do all they can to make those lives happy they have committed the unpardon- able sin. They have taken something from their husbands and wives far more precious than life itself.

Dear Miss Dix-I am a girl of 16 and have a very strict mother. She will not permit me to play any games or take part‘ in any sports- She objects to a‘1 of my company and forbids my going out with my 8m friends without her.

He climbed the tne without difficulty. and the next moment he had jumped lightly down into the grounds of The Beeches.

Not a light was showing, but the "

house itself loomed blacker than the night ahead of him. He had noted a window on the ground level almost opposite the elm tree, and he felt that it ought not to be difficult to force this open.

The window, however, needed no forcing. It was obligingly un- latched. Silently Philip pushed up the lower half of the sash frame and scrambled over the sill- The torch he had picked up in Oxton's the previous night was still in his pocket. Cautiously he switched it. on, and in the light. saw that he was looking into a small atone-flagged room whose floor was below ground level. It had probably been used at one time as a flour store, for there were several empty sacks in the far corner.

He lowered himself Into the room and closed the window behind him. The door stood ajar. and opening it wider he found himself con- fronted by a narrow fight of stone steps. ‘Ihat same peculiar sense of fear swept him again, but. he fought down the emotion and stole silently up the stairs. having rc- moved his shoes and left them be- side thgwindow of the room he had just left.

The door at the head of the flight of steps was also obligingly open and he found 1f in a second but shorter corridor leading to the hall and the staircase, A small bluish-green light burned from a. stand-lamp providing the sole illumination. The place was as silent as a vault, and the young man was about to step forward towards the staircase when‘ the bloodblood seemed to freeze in his veins. From somewhere at the top or the house a woman scream- ed- It was no ordinary scream; it was the scream of n soul in tor-

danger. I can't even look at a boy. She doesn't trust me alone and

watches me like a cat. She says the sooner I get married the better off '

the will be. I have a girl friend who is in the same boat. and everything we do is done by sneaking. DE5PERATE-

Answer:

I wish I knew some way to make mothers like yours see that in being

overstrlct with their daughters they are taking the surest way to brinE I about the disaster they fear. , Perhaps in medieval times, vithen they had dungeons cells. it was pos- 1 sible to lcck a girl 11p in one and keep her from ever seeing a boy or golﬂi! i to a parts" or playing a game or readinc a book or having any touch with l the world. But these are modem days. in which we live mostly in flats. ,1 1n which we have not even a closet that we can spare to lock our daugh- i ters up in. When boys and girls go to school together and play together - from the time they arc born. and 1n which there are so many books and magazines that no mothers could censor them all even though she read twenty-four hours a day. and in which youth has emancipated itself, the heavy mother and father stuff ls as extinct as the dodo. So it is worse than folly for any mother to think that she can keep her girls from taking part in the life that goes on all about. them.

It simply can't be done. Girls are not only going to be girls. bili- l they also are going to do more or less the things that all the other girls are doing. Wl-ien Mother refuses to let them have their company at home and no to night parties and have a reasonable amount of liberty. they simply bootleg their pleasures instead of having them openly 811d

honestly under Mother's eye.

i You can't keep a girl good by watching her, because the strictest ehaperon will nod at times and. besides, every child is foxy enmigh m outwit its parents. Lock a girl in and she will climb out of a window 90 meet. pick-tips on the street corner. Forbid her to go to parties and shows that other girls go to with their dates. and she will lie about spending the night with a girl friend and go away no one knows where or with

ment. Pbr a moment he stood there horrified. He remembered the woman's face he had seen at the window. The time for action had come. _

Dtscarding caution as if it had been a cumbersome coat Philip dashed towards the stairs and raced upwards. He had not the smallest idea. where he was going or onto what danger. Reachlngj the first landing he patised.‘ lttening. The scream had not been repeated. He found himself faced with four doors. He placed hBQl-HhQl¢h.b1IChAGIﬂIIOf-h-| ing. Onthe second landing he_ fared better. The landing was in darkness and from beneath one of

sound of another heart-rendina scream and there was no mistak- ing the direction. It came from the door opposite him.

Philip flung the door open with- out hesitati and stood staring at a strange sight. A wot-nan was lying fully clothed on what appeared to be a small wire mattress on the floor. Beside the

whom.

i The surest way in the world to make a girl boy-crazy is to forbid her j asking lads to the house. That way you give her the lure of forbidden ' fruit that every woman's mouth has watered for from Eve on down. The , utay to make a girl run off and get married in her teens is to make home a prison that she will break out of at any price. And a mothers simpt’ puts a premium on deceit when she is s0 stern that her daughter has t0 lie to her to save herself from punishment.

The only chaperon that any mother can provide for her girl now is to make her her own chapercn. Teach her from her cradle up good principles. Teach her modesty and self-respect. and you won't have to watch her. She will take care of herself. DOROTHY DIX ---_

Vvhetber he had been anticipating Philip's attack it was impossible to tell but he was not quick enough to prevent the young man's fiat crashing against his unprotected jaw. sen Yat 80h spun sideways like a top, but the fact that. there had been little resistance to the blow was fatal for Philip who. unable to control his momentum found himself falling on to the electric torture frame on the floor.

Ling IFoo at. the wall switch saw his opportunity. He swung the rheostat handle sharply over. The woman on the frame uttered another piercing scream before she passed into unconsciousness. Philip felt as if a dozen mules had kicked him in the head simultaneously. He felt utterly incapable of move- inent and looked up into Ben Yat Bob's eveil face without hope.

CHAPTER. XXIII MORNING 0F MANY MOODS

Peter Oxton sat in his office frowning across at Supt. Beck.

I think, superintendent, he an- nounced, ‘that I'm growing some- what weary of this business. I had imagined that the whole affair would have been cleared up but what have you done nothing. First a valuable member of my staff is murdered; then another equally valuable employee disappears, and now, this morning. I hear that young Slater is missing. If affairs continue like this I shall have no staff left. I'm afraid I must ask you for some assurance in this matter. Mr. Beck. »

‘Ihe Superintendent had every reason to be irritable, and on this occasion it was not due to a cut chin or to cold bacon. He had been informed by ten o'clock that Philip Slater had not turned in to work; that an inquiry at‘ the address where he had a. room had elicited the lnfonnation that Slater arrived home late last night and had left again very early without giving his landlady any explanation for his early rising. Now h, was being rated by Orton because, it appeared. he had done nothing about it. What did the fellow expect him to do? He'd done everything he possibly could regarding the girl's disappearance, and be oouldnt reasonably be ex- pected to do anything more. But that Oxton should—more or less- charge him with neglect of duty.. . well, he certainly liked that! Of course, he realized that it must be disconcerting for Oxton. but if it: was disconcerting for Oxton, how much more disconcerting was it for himself. Oxton wasn't an- swerable to a superior authority. He was a private citizen, not. e. public servant.

Bock leaned forward. I can understand how you feel, Mr. Ox- ton. he began, but let me first of all point out to you that. at your own request. I withdrew police protection from these premises.
