The dinner was a success The two

Mrs France. singing aficrwards who

Mrs France had grown really radiant
over her small triumph Looking at
her a sharp pang pierced horhusband's
heart. Could II be- that she delighted
In this sort Of thingP Would she ever
be quite rs much his own II she had
even this small world 10 pleasep She
grew little pale as she comprchended
the struggle which was going ON In bis
mind.
"lt was for your sake tried 10 please
them, she said "lf II gives you one
moments nncasncss TO see me In COM

them here again"
"Oh, Mlgnon; ! fairly hate myself for

How could he help remembering that
her bright glanccs and sweet tones had
been used TO befool men once, and fear
with desperate, quaking fear-that
the wish 10 conquer might wake In her
again. II was not that he doubted her,
only that In his selfish, idolatrous lovc,
he would have her his, without o
thought or look for any other In tho
world.
Mgnon was willing enough TO humor
him. In this retirement she found
peace and safety. Not even John Ten
dyke came TO disturb their quiet life.
She had almost forgotten him when,
one day, months later, after n fore.
Moons shopping, she found herself In
the vicinity Of the bank, and yielded ~
an impulse to run In for moment ami
see her husband.
"Mr. France IMP I'll sce," said tho
clerk. not knowing ihnt this was Mr..
Frances wife. "lIc will be- very soon,
madame holding open the door Of the
private office, "but here Is MIR. Ten.
dyke who can attend to your business
nj once"
Mignon went smilingly forward 20
explain. The attentive clerk shut tho
door behind her, and In the DINNER
light Of the inner Office familiar form
arose, a hated voice struck upon her
ears.
"My dear Mrs. France, this Is a long
deferred pleasure. Allow me to intro
ducc mysclf-Tendyke, your husbands
partner.
She graspcd at the back OF a chair
which stood near for support; for this
was varick. her arch-cnemy, and she
knew in that moment as well she would
ever know aftcrward that he had plotted
her husbands ruin.
