Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Services Sallie Buys a Bookshop Thankful returned and I knew by her flushed face that something had gone wrong. "What did the book dealer say?" I queried, "did you make a date for us to go down?" I had made up my mind that I was going to own that shop. "A terrible thing has happened," she replied, "I told you that the Russian's wife was a Parisienne and that she was most unhappy here?" "Yes, yes. Go on," I urged. "And though I never say anything about it, Sallie, one does get tired of—oh well," glancing around at the cupboard which held the newly made jam, "putting up jelly and making cakes and pies." "And though I never say anything about it, Salle, one does get tired of—oh well," glancing around at the cupboard which held the newly made jam, "putting up jelly and making cakes and ples." "Well," she continued so slowly that I thought she would never get to the point, "his wife was highly temperamental, and so she became impatient with waiting and has already returned home." Thankful had the air of one making a startling announcement. "Well I must say I don't see anything so terrible in that." "But," she continued, "you haven't heard it all. She eloped with another man!" "Oh-h," I exclaimed, "if your book-man loved her, then that is too bad." "Not only that, but I believe all they had on earth was hers. So now I don't know what he will do. Neither does he. I suggested that he sell you the shop and help run it with us. We could use his ability, for he is one of the most cultured persons I have ever known." "Let me see if I get this straight. The man who owns the shop will continue in his place of business, only I shall be the boss." I smiled, for in spite of myself, the idea amused me very much. "Yes," Thankful replied, "for, you see, it will take some time for the new shop to become a paying proposition; and in the meantime he will have money on which to live." "Yes, I understand," I was serious again, "I wonder if he loved her very much. Did you ever see them together?" I asked. "Oh yes, on several occasions. We had mutual friends. She was from a wonderful family, but she was also terribly spoiled. I have spent many congenial hours in their apartment and they have been here for tea a great many times." "Who was the man in the case?" "I'm sure I haven't the faintest idea. But I'm quite sure if someone came along she liked better she would not hesitate to leave him, just as she did her husband here. As I said, she is thoroughly selfish and would not hesitate to follow her emotions in any case." "Did her poor husband seem all broken up?" I wanted to get the whole situation thoroughly in my mind before we went to meet the interesting gentleman who had simultaneously lost his me back into the past. The walls of the room had been papered in scraps of cubist paper, and there were several hundred patterns of various sizes and shapes. The effect was at once attractive and bizarre. A few original etchings, one by Pennell, ornamented the walls, and on a railing were a few choice pieces of poetry and brasses of antique design. An oriental rug covered the entire floor, and here and there were a group along without hearing? he ask something I coveted had so many hail seem fair."

As I said, she is thoroughly selfish and would not hesitate to follow her emotions in any case." "Did her poor husband seem all broken up?" I wanted to get the whole situation thoroughly in my mind before we went to meet the interesting gentleman who had simultaneously lost his fortune and his wife. "No, not especially." Thankful, replied, "I believe he married her because he was grateful to her and because, as she often said herself, she 'set her cap' for him." "How do you know so much about them?" I still could not reconcile the fact of Thankful having such an intimate relationship with a couple who seemed so unlike her own conservative friends. "They brought something into my life that was thrilling and bright," she declared with a far-away look in her eyes, "and though I never say anything about it, Sallie, one does get tired of—oh well," glancing around at the cupboard which held the newly-made jam, "putting up jelly and making cakes and pies." "Why, Thankful, you're human!" I danced over to her and gave her a friendly little squeeze. "I never would have suspected it. Now I know we're going to have fun running this shop. Go get your hat! For I positively refuse to wait," I declared. Salle Visits the Studio From the moment we arrived in front of the book shop I knew it was no ordinary place. Thankful opened the door and we walked into a cozy room lined with row after row of luxe editions, softly lighted with old parchment shades, through which the light fell on fine binding of antique vellum. Turkish morocco and crushed levant. Over the whole was that intangible odor of books which Thankful had declared she liked so much, and I also detected a faint Russian incense which stirred my senses and carried me back into the past. The walls of the room had been papered in scrapes of cubist paper, and there were several hundred patterns of various sizes and shapes. The effect was at once attractive and bizarre. A few original etchings, one by Pennell, ornamented the walls, and on a railing were a few choice pieces of poetry and brasses of antique design. An oriental rug covered the entire floor, and here and there were a group of hand-carved walnut chairs, richly upholstered, and footstools which gave one the feeling of being a guest in a charming home. The place was altogether unique and exceeded my greatest expectations. "Where is your friend?" I turned to Thankful, who was examining a first edition of Edgar Saltus. "Down stairs, I suppose. That's another surprise and the nicest of all!" she declared. "There," she pointed to a flight of steps with a wrought iron railing, "you will find the most perfect collection of antiques you ever dreamed of, pleked up mostly in Italy and France! Walt, I'll run get him." She ran down the steps, and while she was gone my heart beat a rapid rate. I was so pleased with my new venture. A book shop, with an exotic atmosphere, was splendid enough, but an antique shop as well! I turned to look at a copy of Browning in a fine Rivière bindings, and was holding it in my hand when I heard them ascending the stairs. The Russian was speaking. At his first words I started, for there was something strangely familiar in his voice. Like the incense, it took me back into the past. How I wished they would hurry! Surely it could not be—but it was . . . for, in a moment Vladimir Tchertkov, the fascinating Cossack officer whom we had met in Montmartre, was coming towards me and, with a smile of cordial recognition, he kissed my hand. "How on earth did you ever happen to come here, to Birmingham?" I wanted to know, when the first platitudes had been said and we were comfortably ensconced in the lovely chairs.

Speaking of McAdoo says, want less." Bu more? "It was the only place in the United States that I knew, except New York, and we thought a shop of this type would be more successful in a smaller place. Now I know," he exclaimed, "where I heard the name of Birmingham. It was on the card you gave me that night. I lost the card, but the name Birmingham remained in my mind. Because—" he estimated to say something, then swiftly changed his mind, "because," he stammered. "there is one in England, I suppose. It did not occur to me that this was your home." "Oh, I'm sorry! Curtiss and I would have been so happy to introduce you to some of our friends. I know it has been terribly lonesome for you here." "Excuse me, Sallie dear." Thankful broke in, "I have an errand to do for mother and while you and Captain Tchertkov talk things over I'll go and get through with it." "Right-of!" I replied, "and when you return I hope to have good news for us both!" We exchanged smiles and she hurried out of the door. Then Captain Tchertkov told me, in his naive, foreign fashion, how the little night club in Paris had gone on the rocks and how, for a long time, he was stranded without anything to do. Then how the fascinating French girl, who had danced with him in the cabaret, invited him to their home. Propinquity had its way and soon they were married and on their way to America, where he wanted to make a living of his own. "A man can not accept his wife's money, you know, and still feel himself a man," he frankly declared, and I admired his determination to get along without her aid. "You have heard?" he asked. I nodded and tears came into my eyes. "I'm so sorry. I wish there were something I could do!" I said, "you've had so many hard knocks that it doesn't seem fair." "Thank you so much, but nothing seems too hard after—after Russia." His voice for the first time held pathos as it always did when he mentioned his former life. And yet he was not hardened by the bitter experience he had undergone as a refugee from the Bolshevik regime, for there was a 29 OUTSTANDING TOMMY No Let-Up in W Proving that F. A.

"I'm so sorry, I wish there were something I could do!" I said, "you've had so many hard knocks that it doesn't seem fair." "Thank you so much, but nothing seems too hard after—after Russia." His voice for the first time held pathos as it always did when he mentioned his former life. And yet he was not hardened by the bitter experience he had undergone as a refugee from the Bolshevik regime, for there was a gentleness about him that is only given to people who have tasted the drags of life as well as its wine. Thankful tells me you would stay on with us if you decide to let me have the shop." "Yes, I would be so glad to do that," his eyes lighted with enthusiasm, if it can be so arranged." He would undoubtedly lend atmosphere to the place. A Cossack officer and perhaps one of the nobility of Old Russia, who could tell? Yes, it was absolutely necessary that he remain. When Thankful returned it had all been arranged. He was to remain on a salary which he had named, and I had placed in his hands the check from my father, which was to be the first payment, the rest to be paid in installments by the month. "How is your husband?" he asked me as I was preparing to leave. It was the first time he had mentioned his name. "I'd just been thinking I'd have him come down tomorrow afternoon, and now I'll have two surprises for him. The shop and you!" On my way home I remembered the psychic premonition I had had on the night we parted in Paris. I had known, in an intuitive moment, that my path and the Cossack's would cross again. (To be continued next week) ARMY HAS FIRST PHONE IN CAPITAL Washington's Instruments Grow From 50 to 130,000 The first telephone line installed in Washington, D.C., connected two of the offices under the chief signal officer of the United States army. This was in 1877, but it was not until December 1, 1878, that the first central office in Washington was opened, it having taken many months to secure 50 subscribers, the number desired before opening an exchange. Among the original subscribers were the White House, the state department, several offices of the treasury department, the Evening Star, the Ebbitt House, G. G. Hubbard, and Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Those 50 telephones of 1878 have since grown to over 130,000.
