month OF August a man and his wife
named Dubar. They were French, but
both spoke English fairly well. While
they were husband and wife, he was
so years old and she not over %. The
disparity between their ages was re-
marked by the gossips, and it was set
tied that it had been a marriage for
money on the girls part. They had
been married for a year, as some one
ascertained, and the little tendernesses
of the honeymoon were not longer to be
looked for, but before they had been
with us three days l made up my mind
that the young wife both feared and
hated her husband. | saw it in her
looks and actions when she was off
her guard. On his part he treated her
courteously and rather paternally in
public, but accident made me a listen
er one day to a speech of his that told
me he had a great bitterness in his
heart against her.
Ipaid little heed to the gossip around
me, nor did ! taxi any interest in the
family quarrel. It was on the fifth
day after the couple arrived that l
wandered away by myself along the
mountain stream and by and by sat
down beside a bc~lder to smoke and
gaze at a waterfall on the far side of
the creek. 4 had been there a quarter
Of an hour when l heard footsteps
and, peering out, I saw Dubar ap-
preaching. I noticed he was pale faced
and his lips were compressed, and he
was muttering to himself in French
as he sat down on the other side of the
stone. We were hidden from each 9TH
er, but I could hear his lightest whis-
per. For thee or four minutes he was
silent. Then he began cursing his
wife, and there were an intentness and
a ferocity in his language that gave
me the keynote of the trouble between
them. He suspected her fidelity and
thirsted for revenge. II she had mar
ried him for money, he had married
her for love, and the blow had told on
him harder than if he had beenoa young
man. From cursing and reyiling he
went off into a fit of weeping and la
menting, and it was easy to realize his
mental sufferings. l was helpless in
the matter, of course. ct was my part
to remain silent and hope he would
go away without seeing me. This he
eventually did, but from some express
sions let fall | knew that he had at
last made up his mind to a decisive
step.
The rule in France, l believe, is for
the dishonored husband to swear a lit
tie, weep a little and then walk away
and become as much Of a philosopher
as he can. but | couldn't make myself

satisfied that Dubar would be satisfied
with that. He felt the blow too keen
ly. HE wanted a deeper revenge than
that of casting his wife off and sharing
a part of the public scandal. l had a
seat at the same table with the couple,
and that evening at dinner l watched
him closely. His conduct would have
deceived me had | not overheard his
language in the dell. He was all smiles
and soft words and seemed to be court
ing her again. The young wife had
frightened up and looked cheerful and
animated, and / read the story very
clearly. On returning from the dell
he had made up with her, and she
had been deceived into believing that
he had forgiven. That he was playing
her false was plain from a look or two
of his when she was not observing. I
saw his mouth harden, his eyes fash.
and felt sure that down in his heart he
meditated II evil.
That evening there were music and
song, and Dubsr and his wife p%artici-
pates WITH apparent enjoyment and
were quito Loving tevard each other.
BEFORE the party broke up for ths night
il was suggested that we &c TO a GER
tain SPOT on the ncrrow to gather
mosses. The suggestion, as wa after
wards remembered, came from Dubar.
We were to take luncheon and be gone
all day. although it was only three
miles to the spot mentioned. Bright
and early next morning a fun dozen
Of us set out, there being seven men
and five women. AS the procession
turned into the mountain path I was
last, and Dubar and his wife were be-
fore me. He laughed and ioked. and
she was merry and fun of song. 1 had
been bothered with q lame foot and

was Obliged to proceed slowly, and
several times they ~laughingly called TO
me. We had gone about a mile when
they drew ahead out Of sight, and,
knowing the locality well. | set out to
take a short cut and save distance.
This took me 70 the east side Of a
ravine, while the main party were fol-
lowing the west side. l got along
fairly well until l was about to strike
the path they were following. Owing
to a bend Of the ~ravine. the path vas
half a mile away at one point and
then came turning back on itself until
it was only a few rods from where /

as I rested I focused them on the dis

they arrived. They were walking hand

could see the smiles on their faces as
they halted for breath. / could and

such a look OF malignant triumph on
the mans face that it made me gasp
for breath. The look warned me OF
what vas coming. She stood a little
before him, pointing at a flower grow
ing on the very brink Of the cliff and
speaking of it, and / saw him glance
up and down the path to see II it was
clear. Then | cried out, but my voice
was weak and broken and did not car

he turned to his wife.
"Who called me, and said that my

Bridget, as she waved both dish ano

with the help of heaven l never Will.
He spent Is minutes trying to ex-
plain the affair to her, but in the end
she insisted on taking a five mile
| street car ride to see if her mother was
| alive or dead, and she limited that she
might not return for a day or two,
| When she had retired to her domain.
Mr.. Bowser consoled himself by say
ing:
81 ought to have remembered that
she didn't know putty from pepper.
! You must admit that my system is a
success, however"
Yes, you yell could have been
heard a block away" replied Mrs.
Bowser, " but I don't consider it a real
test at all. You'd have to have a roar
like 40 bulls to drive the sound a
10 OF Is miles"
THAT shows all you know about it.
How far is it from our back door to
the rear Of the fiat fronting the next
street,"
"A hundred feet, maybe"
well, 1 know a man named Jones
on the third floor. I'll go down into
the back yard and send him a mes
sage, and you'll hear no 40 bull voices
about it,
Three minutes later Mr.. Bowser had
reached his station. In a voice hardly
above a whisper he sent his clear the
track rave ahead by calling:
Jones! Jones! All, there, Jones'!
Say, Jones, do you hear me?"
If Jones did, there were no signs of
it, but Mr.. Bowser went on with the
message:
Tell Jones that | know where he
was last night, but I'll keep mum about
it."
Then he lifted his voice a trife for
the driving wave, and the whole thing
was supposed to be rolling in on Jones
through wall or window when an old
tin pail struck Mr.. Bowser in the stom-
ach, a piece of coal found a resting
place on his chin and bottles and cans
hit all around him and voices cried out;
Peg him ag'in! It's old Bowser out
throwing poison to u cats and dogs!"
Come into the house with your wire
wound foolery if you don't want to be
kn.ed dead!" shouted the cook as she
reached outdoors for him, and Mr..
Bowser felt the wind of an old demi-
john as he backed into a place OF safe
ty. The woman squared off with her
hands on her hips and began about
her dead mother anew, but Mr.. Bowser
passed up stairs without a word. Mrs.
Bowser sat reading and trying to look
unconcerned, but he marched up to her
and shouted:
Woman, this is your revenge, but
don't chuckle too soon. Instead of dis
oouraging me you have made ne a des-
perate mani"

MOST people think that catarrh is a
lVI disease confined to the head and nose.
ATX Nothing is farther from the truth. 1t
may be that the nose and throat is the oft
so only because these parts are more ex-
posed to the vicisSitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity OF
the human body is liable to catarrh. A mul-
titude of ailments depend on catarrh. This
is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes
many cases of chronic disease, where the
victim has not the slightest suspicion that
catarrh has anything to do with it.
