"You do need a change, Gerty,, YOU are
thin"
Whose nult ii? Isn't your conduct
enough to worry one to death9 This note,
in Maggie Calders writing"
Confound the thngl Give it to me and
let me burn It'll"
Not muchl 1t is too precious! Unless
you explain it before morning, Maggies
father shall see it,
Rylance, angered at this, made a sudden
spring at Gerty to try and snatch the note
from her, but failing in this, as she clutch
ed it tighter than ever, he had the mortifi-
cation of seeing her reel under his sunexpect-
ed grasp and fall to the floor, hitting her
head against a heayily-covered footstool,
just as Bridget, the servant, entered the
room, with pitcher of ice water
Bridget was devoted to her mistress and
hastened to her aid. bestowing some very
uncomplimentary epithets on Rylance as
she did So. 1t was nothing new to Bridget
to see woman felled by husband; she
supposed all men treated their wives thus.
Gertrude was stunned, and Adrian rushed
for physician; Bridget sent her "cousin,"
who happened to be in the kitchen (where
he was to be found seven nights in the
week., to summon Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
Woolcrolt5 and when they arrived, the lat
ter, Gcrty's. only brother, had converse
ton with nylance which was more noted
for its clearhess, .candor, and emphasis than
for sauvity cr compliment.
The next morning Gertrude went to her
parents, who lived in Lowell, refusing to see
or speak with her husband, and Rylance
was informed by Mr.. Woolcroft and his son
that unless he could explain the mattcrsatis-
tactorily in three months proceedings
would be instituted for divorce.
Maggie Calder denied stoutly that she
wrote tho letter: but every one, even her
lover, declared that the writing was un-
doubtedly hers. No "little Maggie" was to
be found, but the suspicion was so injurious
that her lover broke his engagement to her,
almost breaking his heart at the same time,
""U " quio' al go5,lP MI calder sent her
away to some relatives in Albany, bidding
them watch her closely.
