THE WIFE AND THE
STRANGE WOMAN.


Arthur Sanger was head clerk in
dry goods store. Clara Heartily worked
In a tailor's shop. She had pretty
face, winning ways. and loving,
trusting little heart; SO. when after
a few weeks acquaintance, Arthur
Sanger asked her to be his wife, she
smiled and blushed charmingly, and
soon after she became Mrs. Sanger.
The first bit Of sorrow Clara expe-
rienced after her marriage was one
morning when Arthur tenderly inform
ed her that he should be obliged to go
to New York on business for the firm,
and would be absent three whole days.
It was sad. gloomy time to poor
Clara, but the three miserable days
came to an end at last, and with a
light heart she arrayed herself to go
to the depot to meet her husband. He
would not expect her.
The train came pufiing in. Clara was
few steps from the edge of the plat
form, when she saw Arthur alight and
hold out his hand to assist beautiful,
dark-eyed lady down the steps, and
what was her dismay, as she pressed
her way through the crowd to greet
him, to see him draw the lady's hand
through his arm and hear him say in
low voice:
Pull down your veil. Alice, and
Talk deliberately through the depot"
For moment objects swan before
Clara's eyes. but. lowering her own
veil, she followed the couple out. She
managed to keep them in sight until
they entered the Sweeney hotel.
Then, with a heart she thought was
breaking, she goes home, how. she
hardly knew. 1t was half an hour be-
fore Arthur came; and Clara had
thought 1t all over, and resolved not
to say one word about her being at
the depot, and see II he would make
any explanation. He returned her
warm greeting In an affectionate. but
absent way, not even noticing her pale
cheeks and eyes red with weeping.
The next morning. after Arthur had
eaten his breakfast, mechanically kiss
ed her abstractedly, and gone to the
store, Clara went up to her chamber.
threw herself upon lounge, and wish
ed, oh, SO fervently, that she might
die, for If her husband was really un-
true to her she felt that life would be
u burden, and she wanted to die now
before any harsh or unkind words had
passed between them. In the midst of
her sad thoughts the bell rang and

in at the door, saying:

Wondering vaguely who 1t could be,
she bathed her eyes, smoothed her hair

parlor manly form rose and held
out his arms toward her. One glance
of delighted surprise and she sprang
into them, sobbing. Charlie, my dear.

returned Arthur.
The lady burst into tears and leaned
her head on Arthurs shoulder.

the strange lady. Tell them, dear,
