CHAPTER XIV.

The bright, unclouded days OF the
Colorado winter had passed away, one
as monotonously like another as the
beads slipped from the sleepy fingers Of
a nun; and now the spring, In small flu
ries of rain and hail, snow furries and
wind storms, seemed trying to make up
what the unreasonable apathy of its
elder brother had left undone.
1t was Sunday, chill, clustering day,
of kind to try the quality OF mems re-
ligion when the church bells rang. The
early dinner was over, and Anita, who
would suffer no hands less tender than
her own to wash her glass and china,
had finished her housewifely duties.
Thanks to her Van Zandt training, she
could find all the comforts of clean
conscience in housekeeping well done.
She could know no pe-ce OF mind un-
til each stale bread crumb in her domain
had been metamorphosed into palatable
ness-unlesS she were assured that no
bone was thrown to a dog until its first
strength mad been extracted in soup.
Whatever might be her griefs-and she
thought her burdens heavy in these days
there was still certain pleasure in
properly polishing the dainty cut glass;
a substantial satisfaction, as she passed
back to the parlor in noting that no
atom Of dust defiled the edges OF the
carpet, that no spider with his spinning
had eluded her vigilance.
Donald, in smoking jacket and slip
perS, was enjoying cigar in an easy
chair by the fire.
"Why, how comfortable you look!"
she exclaimed, brightly, surprised into
betraying her pleasure. When had Dom
aid cared to spend a Sunday afternoon
at home before? "And what glorious
fire you have made!" standing before
the fire upon pretense OF warming her
slim white hands, little innocent van
ity In her pretty tea gown. Donald had
once been quick to notice when she
looked especially nice.
"Have l not?" complacently survey
inc his work. ''Give me the blaze of
good soft coal on a day like this; just to
look at it is luxury" his eyes fixed upon
the slim figure ia the trailing old rose
gown, as If he found certain luxury in
regarding that. He reached out and
drew nearer a willow rocker, saying So
Gladly, "Sit down and enjoy it,"

self, of Frightening with the sunniness
OF his own temperament the darkestc cir
cumstance, of compromising with fate
in all philosophical good will. The sud-
den change in his wife had been to him
q crushing blow, for time seeming
fairly to change his nature. Without q
sign OF warniDg, seeming the more cruel
for its unexpectedness, be had been
| rudely shaken from his dream OF placid
| content TO look down into the grave in
which all the JOY Of his life seemed laid.
He was almost beside himself, fairly
maddened with the poignant pain, the
burning anger toward this cold, silent
woman, who had won him with tender
witcheries but to bring such disappoint-
ment and humiliation upon him. But
even over the ground torn up for the
dead the merciful flowers and grasses

disconnected under her sneering glance.

"Aud vet she can play tennis" with q
bitter laugh, mirthless, haunting, cruel.

ton of her-business is very ingenious. "
He turned upon her face she had
never seen before, livid, almost MUIR
derous in its sudden fury"
"If believed you were in earnest In
your vile insnuations, Anita" in a low,
tense tone, his fingers convulsively grip
ping the arms Of his chair, ''if l could
think that you really believed what you
have repeatedly implied in regard to
that woman, 1 should be tempted to
box your ears"
"Well, if you are stopping on that &C

and standing before him defiantly,

should hesitate for any such illusory
reason as that-that you should leave
anything undone to complete my disii-
lusion."
"Disillusion! Great heavens, Anita,
do you think the diSillusion is all on
your side?" with groan, burying his
head in his arms crossed upon the desk.
She stood for moment regarding him
with sort OF superciious curiosity, as
if at some mawkish display OF histrionic
emotion, and then without a word
walked from the room.
