1t seems to Helen many long days
since yesterday, and even that her sur
roundings have undergone change.
To escape from her illusion and return
to reality, she whispers:
"Arthur-Arthur-
ssWellg''
But that voice that used to reassure
her only augments her uEeasiness, for
she no longer recognizes it. Again she
takes refuge in her thoughts. Why does
he not wish her to consult the clairvoy-
ant? Why2 Why:
Her heart beats violently and O sharp
pang assails it; doubt is entering therein.
If Arthur were false? If he were like
Bessie's husbands If all that seemed
impossible were possible, the whole
world Infamous? How she suffers, 1t
must be jealousy that she feels. It is a
terrible malady, and she knows it viii
hereafter torture her every hour.
Who can have stolen Arthur from
her? She is trying to think Can it be
Ethel Goddard, or is it that little Mrs.
Warburton2 She is suffocating. her
throat tightens, her lips are dry and
burning. The light of the lamp vacil-
lates. The old tapestries areof a sudden
clearly shown, then fall again into
shadow. The chairs, frightened here
and there by CLEANS that fall on the
gliding Of their frames, seem to move
queerly around Helen, whose brain is
reeling. She is frightened ut herself,
for while thinking of a rival she feels
herself no longer a responsible being,
capable even of crime.
1t is thus, then, that one becomes
criminal through excessive suffering.
But is she crazy? What proves that
Arthur is false? She cannot live with
such doubt She must know and viii
know Why not consult the clairvoy-
ant.
She rises, supports herself by the fur
niture to keep from falling and looks
earnestly at Arthur, who, plunged in a
brown study, does not see her. OF
whom is he thinking? Of that other
woman. She walks softly over the
thick carpet and looks for her scissors in
her workbox Now she draws nearer
to the young man, her gaze riveted on a
lock of his hair. She could so quickly
cut that lock were it not for the loud
beating of her heart. It makes more
noise than the clock Arthur viii hear
it and turn quickly around. No; he re-
mains motionless still thinking.
Suddenly he starts and utters a cry.
Helen runs off, the lock of hair between
her fingers. Her eyes look defiant, but
she tries to laugh. He does not laugh;
his face has grown pale; fear and rage
beset him.
Il order you Immediately to return me
that hair, says he.
mo; / win not obey"
'sThen l will use force
He strives TO grasp Helen; she escapes
him, running around chairs and tables.
Then she takes a jewel casket, locks the
hair within, and hinging the key far
away tries to fly to her bedroom.
But an iron hand falls upon her and
frightful face approaches her. The
wrists Of the young wife are pressed as
in a wise; the pain is intolerable there
just the place where Arthur had always
put his lips.
Then the casket slips to the floor; the
husband seizes it, breaks it open with a
kick Of his boot, takes ont the stolen lock
Of hair and throws it into the fire.

Mrs. SeymourHowells tells story OF
a woman who had husband in deadly
fear of her. He was d member Of the
legislature, and his wife had insisted
upon his voting for q woman suffrage

better half was afraid to trust him, and
so on the day the bill was to come up
she hied herself to the gallery in the leg-
islative hall. The roll was being called,
and when the husbands name was
reached he got up and said:

AT this instant a tall woman, with
penetrating voice, leaned over the gal
