VA THILn Mrs. wickham Iva was 5
NM like car horse, early and
n n late. He was about to buy
out his partner in the business, and
there were accounts to be gone over
and columns upon columns of figures
that would reach around the world
four times and tie In a double bow
knot. Therefore Mr. Wickham to all
intents and purposes lived in his office,
but he did not let his wife know about
it. He was afraid II would worry her.
A pleasant contrast to the ordinary
method which funny folks have made
so familiar, was it not2 By all the
rules Harry Wickham should have had
a glorious time with wine and wassail
and should have written tales of awful
toll out of his own sinful Imagination.
But he was such a good fellow and so
nbsurdly in Iowa that he would not
even let her know how much he missed
her If he put that agony on paper, he
felt that it would spoil her visit.
1t seemed TO him that that fortnight
was longer than the history of the
great pyramid. but 1t came to an end at
last. On the afternoon of Friday, Oct.
13, he left his office with the gratifying
conviction that big job had been well
done and with q blessed telegram In
his pocket as follows: Meet me train
arriving midnight, Grand Central
Alice"
Mr.. Wickham was so tired that he
fell asleep in cable car, and man
who can do that without the aid of
spirituous narcotics must be really in
need of bed.
When he reached his apartments,
they were deserted. The cook and the
maid had gone out for the evening.
Wickham remembered having told
them that he would dine down town
and would not be home until midnight.
He had not expected to finish his work
quite so soon.
What was to be done? He dared not
lie down-indeed he dared not even sit
in a chair-for fear that he should go
to sleep there alone and miss the mid
night train.
Dinner and some coffee will fix me
all right" said he, and so he went to an
up town restaurant and dlned and felt
better afterward.
Yet he dared not go home where
there were couches and easy chairs.
He would go to a theater, where the
performance would keep him awake, or
If it didn't the ushers would put him
out after II was over.
The obliglng Mr. Graves, manager of
a well known playhouse, was so kind
as to give Mr.. Wickham a box, which
was all he had to give. for every seat
In the place was sold. 1t should be
mentioned that Graves and Wickham
are old friends and tenants of the same
apartment house.
The play was a stage version of Dick
ems story, "a Tale of Two Cities" and
when Wickham took his seat in the
box DR.. Manette upon the stage was

Wake upw
The train due at midnight arrived
precisely on time, and 1t brought the
only woman In the world. She was
kissed as many times as the etiquette
of the Grand Central station permits,
which is as many as you please, and
was finally put into hanson that
would take her home.
"This evening has been longer than
all the rest" she said. WAS it long to
you? What did you do with it?"
Now, Wickham couldn't say that he
had slept In a theater. because that

1t happened that this play had been
''tried on the dog" in the city where
Mrs. Wickham had been visiting. She
had seen it, but she hadn't disclosed
the fact in any letter. 1t flashed across
her mind that she had not. and with a
woman's instinct she refrained from
mentioning 1t then.

getting more and more confused.

Don't tell Graves that / said So"
81 won't" said Alice.
There was pause. Wickham wiped
his forehead. Alice drummed with her
little foot ON the floor of the hanson.
She was a very sensible woman, and
she was engaged in doing a wonderful
ly sensible thing-namely, convincing
her own mind that this scene was COM
edy and not tragedy; that she should
some day laugh at 1t with him.
Suddenly she threw her arms around
his neck, and there was an electric
light as big as two moons shining right
into the hanson at the time, and the
sidewalks were by no means deserted.
you're my dearest DEAR" she whis-
pered, land I'm so glad-so glad to be
with you again."
That closed the incident temporarily
in manner that cannot be too highly
recommended.
A few days later Alice happened to
meet Mr.. Graves ON the steps Of the
house they lived in, or was 1t perhaps
not altogether chance?
II hope you did your duty by Harry
while l was gone" said she. you
should have sent him to the theater
every evening"
Prudent Mr.. Graves merely mumbled
in his beard.
"But l understood him to say that he
hadn't been once" she continued.
"Um-yes-quite So" said Mr.. Graves.
He was thinking as fast as an cleo
trio fan goes around. He remembered
that on Friday evening after Wickham
had gone to his box Stanley Manton
had come In with a rather jolly party
and Graves had met them In the foyer.
Thinking of Wickham in dreary soli-
tude. he had said: Harry Wickham's
here In box. You'd better go up and
see him after this act. He's all alone"
As a matter Of fact Manton and his
friends had looked for Wickham In the
boxes, but he had been asleep In the
shadow, SO they had presently forgot
ten him, as Graves had forgotten the
whole lot of them.
1t occurred to him, however, on this
latter occasion that Manton's party
had probably gone to the box and been
eonspicuously gay in 1t and that some
kind friend had already told Mrs.
Wickham about 1t. Graves rather
prides himself on reading minds, espe-
cially in such cases as the one in con-
sideration at present
