liked him, too, for he was polite, battered them and
abounded iE small talk. But TO his wife he was a
tyrant-just the sort OF man the women sunragsts
like TO tear into pieces and by this time he probably
wishes they had. Anything was good enough for
his wife; no amount Of punching or economlzlng was
considered hurtful to her. and II she wanted car
rage or hundred dollars he was alW avs roo poor
to grant 1t. But now, all suddenly, he seemed to
repent himself OF MS

for he was about sending her, with the children, tn

that he could not accompany them, as business
called him to New York. But he would como
for her, and she, meek, obedlent and &C
customed TO all wfelY and unwilely submission,
was silent; 20 the trio came to Long Branch and

been on an exploring expedition rushed into his

The wifo's suspicious were aroused, and going
with her son, who acted as guide, the distance be-
tween the two hotels was soon made, and with her
| own eyes she beheld what her son had related and
escaped unsocn. Taxing her son with her she re-
turned to her own apartments to muse, to think.

place and the finder IN her soul took fire. It lacked
half an hour to dinner. Dressing herself in her
best gown and removing the traces OF her suffering
as much as she could, she bet0ok herself alone to
the West End-t0 dine. She sent for one Of the

at him but said not WORD. He looked at the end OF
