tempt. 81 suppose, when ITS pub
lished, every one will come and envy
me because I'm the wife of the genius,
George Arbuthnot. How long will it
take you to finish :t?"
"I hope to finish it by next week,
said ArbuthGot, triumphantly. 'I've
allowed Lorrimer, the Weekly Review
man, to see some parts of it, and he's
expressed q very favorable opinion
and thinks it's bound to be success. /"
Agatha's eyes narrowed at the cor.
ners.
"Lorrimer'sa'fool, she said angrily.
It was one cold afternoon, ten days
later, that Arbut8not stood on his
doorstep in the act of inserting his
,latchkey, smiling at some pleasing
"reminiscences of his recent talk with
his publisher.
Suddenly wild, terrified cry broke
from the house,. followed by scream
after scream, reiterated with such in
tensity of anguish that Arbuthnot
himself caught the infection of terror,
and fumbled with trembling hands at
the latchkey.
At last he managed to open the door
and run into the hall. A fearful sight
met his eye. From his study door
few something-an object enveloped
in writhing flames, and from it there
came piercing, agonized shrieks. As
the draft from the open door blew
fercely down the corridor the flames
leaped higher and higher round their
prey, until Arbuthnot's sickened gaze
saw nothing but brilliant ball of fire.
God! it was Agatha Mad with tor.

him and threw out its arms in agonyt

brace, and with all his strength hurled
himself and the shrieking figure onto
the carpeted floor and rolled over and
over until at last the flames were beat
en- ont and he knew the fire was con-
quered.
Three hours later the doctor came
softly down stairs. He had used all
his skill to bring life back to the dis
figured body that now lay motlonless:
on the bed. It was oil in vain.
Agatha's injuries were beyond all
help, and she had lived only three
hours after Arbuthnot had carried her
upstairs.
Her husband had never left her
side. and, though badly burned about
the hands and face, had scarcely real
lied his own injuries. AS he looked
at that cruelty disfgured face, now
swathed in bandages, rush of tears
blinded his eyes, and he knew that all
post differences were swept away, and
that Agatha would live henceforth in
his memory only as the women whom
he had once loved with oil his heart.
Before life fiickered out in that suffer-
ing body, Agatha opened her eyes
once and met her husband'sgaze fixed
with intense pity and love'hpon her
face. To Arbuthnot it seemed that
she pleaded dnmhlH- -fa'."iuAzAooe---
