When she had seen him put on his

wore no beard and had the strong

was thick, moderately long and of a
blackness which went well with his
dark eyes.

asked her, deferentially.
"No, he has had to go back to the
city, Mr.. Talley; it was a telegram,

CHAPTER III.

1t was nine o'clock when Goddard
reached the city. Immediately on
leaving his train he engaged hanson
and was driven over to Fifth avenue
and up that thoroughfare to the Pal
ace hotel.
BY temperament he was given to in
trospection and an almost morbid
habit of Analysing his feelings. es-
pecially when his feelings were hurt.
Tonight his emotions had crowded
him into an attitude OF deep self-pity.
He told himself that no man had ever
suffered as keenly as he was suffer-
ing.
The cab took him past the building
of which the second floor had been
occupied by Jeanne's fashionable es-
tablishment when he had met her,
fallen under her inexplicable charm
and married her hurriedly. It was
now with feeling bordering on sus-
picion that he saw the brown stone
walls OF the unlighted structure fit
by. He remembered how she had
made him faithfully promiae that he
was never to ask her about her past
connections. She had wept copiously
at this juncture and he had somehow
gathered that her relatives had be-
longed to such humble walks in life
that she dreaded the loss of his love
il he were to come in contact with
tEem. He had laughed at such an
idea, but in the years Of Jeanne's rigid
silence on the subject this very mys-
terry had heightened her charm in his
eyes.
He alighted from the hanson under
the arched portico in the flare of
lights about the entrance of the Pal
ace hotel and went into the commo-
dious Office, which was at the juncture
of two long corridors filled with we'll
dressed men and women seated in big
chairs OF strolling about. Strains of
music from Hungarian orchestra
odor which emanated from a Turkish
smoking where dim, sensuous
lights burned under massive shades of
crimson silk. AS he threaded his way
to the counter behind which stood
the clerks of the house he had queer
feeling in his knees as if he had been
sitting too long in cramped position
in the train. How strange for him to
ask to be conducted to the room of
his own wife! At that moment she
seemed quite separated from him.
"My wife is here, believe" he said
to one of the clerks.
''What is the name. please?" asked
the man.
MRS. Goddard" replied the major.
The clerk consulted big book of
entries with penciled remarks oppo-
site the names.
you were to come right up, Maj.
Goddard" he said. "But your wife
said that perhaps it would be better
for you to send up your card"
Goddard fumbled in his pockets; he
had forgotten his cardcase.
81 have no card" he said, "but will
write one"
The clerk gave him blank card and
pen.
The majors hands were cold and
numb, and the pen slipped from his
fingers and fell. The clerk gave it to
him again.
II shall go up without that formal
ity," the major said, drawing himself
up as if on parade. What is the num-
Der of her apartment?"
"Fifty-six, at the top of the first
fight second door to the left"
The major decided to walk rather
than to take the elevator, and he has

clerk. He found that his wife had SCI
cured one of the best suites of rooms
the hotel afforded. She met him at
the door and received kim in most
splendidly appointed private parlor.
1t was cozy, too; lamp with porce-
lain green-lined shade stood on CEN
ter table surrounded by books.

Maj. Goddard spent all the next day
in the city busy over some legal mat
tiers connected with his recent losses.
He missed his usual train and was
forced to take one an hour later. In
consequence of this delay it was dark
when he arrived home. The drawing
room was lighted. and through the
