! Fortunate? Yes, he ought to have
considered himself so. When he set
! himself to reason about it, to describe
mentally his conjugal situation, he had
to conclude that he would have done
wrong to complain Of his destiny. And

/ What Of the terribly unexpected had

pure sapphire Of Commas eyes? Was
there arisen in his soul the doubt that
that faithfulness against every trial,

was nothing but the wish to preserve
Guilty and that precisely to that posi-

shown toward himself? do not know,
| but the vivid and impetuous joy Of the
wedding was no longer in him, al
| though his love remained the same, and
| a painful doubt thrilled in his voice
when he replied to the playful conf
dence Of Comma, forcing himself to
laugh too:
''Take care, now, take care-the ven
geance of the tyrant hangs over you
All, the poor tyrant! How he loved
her! How she had known how to bind
him with her little hands, white and
perfumed as two lilies! For nothing in
The world would he have discovered the
truth, changed into certainty his TO-
menting doubt. So she had only to ask
In order to obtain, for now for him
that love Of which he doubted had be-
rome his life, and he felt a painful
structure at his heart at the mere
thought that day might come when
he would be obliged to refuse her some
thing. Yet that day came. Suddenly,
by one of those mysterious complica-
lions of business, his bank, which until
then had gone from triumph to Hi-
umph, underwent violent shock. Not
a noisy downfall. one Of those open,
public ruins which produce great fail
ures, but one OF those deep, intimate,
secret crises that must be borne with
out word, lament, under penalty Of
death; that can be overcome only by
force Of small privatlons. little hidden
savings. It is then that strict economy
In the family becomes necessary. The
luxury of Comma in those moments be-
came absolutely ruinous for her hus-
band; he ought to have warned her,
sought to check her. He dared not and
continued to content her, but very soon
came the time when he could do so no
more.
1t was CD the occasion of great ball
to which ske was to go. She had order
ed from Paris marvellous gown that
became her to perfection. Still she was
not satisfied. Some days before, in the
showcase of the most fashionable jew
eler of the city, a diadem had set in
revolution all the feminine magma
tons; a superb jewel of antique style,
set in silver gilt, of starry pallor,
where the brilliants seemed drops of
fame. Comma wished to have it, and
indeed it would be difficult to find a
face adapted to the almost religious
richness of that jewel more than her
snowy profile of an angel in ecstasy.
Ten thousand francs was the price Of
that Jewel, and Marchis did not have
them. Mute, immovable, his heart OPP
pressed, he listened to Gemma's words
as she described to him. How could
he tell her, how could he ever tell her,

. R..&
All, there are adorers around that
beautiful Signora Marchis, so lovely
and so young, married to an old man
1t was expected that this fortress
would be an easy one to conquer. Pre-
cisely on her wedding day Vico Molise.
4 the most elegant and skeptical of the
journalists of upper Italy, had pro-
pounded to his friends this theortsm:
"GiYen beautiful girl very poor;
given that she marries rich old man;
divide the number Of his years by that
of the hundreds of thousands of lire Of
which she becomes mistress, and you
| will have the number Of months neces-
sary for her to take a lover"
And as soon as he could he began,
with many others, to attempt the dem
Dnstration of that theorem.
| Well. this time the impeccable psy-
Geological diagnosis of Vico Molise had
been found to fail. Not only, after
some months, the beautiful Signora
Marchis had no lover, but it appeared
also that she never was to have one.
Always dressed with an adorable ele-
gance, with luxury full of good taste,
the beautiful Comma loved to amuse
herself, moving freely in that society
new for her, finding herself in her right
place as marvellous plant in vase of
valuable porcelain, developing itself in
all it's splendor. She went to dances, to
the theater, enjoying the plebiscite of
admiration provided by her beauty, CO.
quoting little with her adorers, fiut-
tering about the fire in order to make
them sparkle, her wings of a golden
butterfly, but never letting herself be
burned.
In the very moment of declaration,
In the midst of one Of those waltzes
whose notes seem made on purpose to
stifle expiring virtue in their serpentine
spirals, she cut short her adorer by
turning her angelic head and saying
serenely:
II don't see my husband. Look a
little where my husband is if you will
be so kind"
And it was known that her greatest
delight was to relate precisely to her
husband the declarations which she
had received. When she came home
with him from a ball, all wrapped in
the white silken folds of her sortie du
bal, with her pure throat, her snowy
shoulders that blossomed still more
fair from her swansdown boa; when
In the evening she met him in the din
Ing room, still in visiting costume, with
her slim waist tightly compressed by
an exquisitely elegant gown, with her
face animated by the slight excitement
which elegant conversation always pro-
duces in young woman, she amused
herself immensely In addressing to her
husband some Of these provoking and
roguish phrases:
'sYou know l was at Countess Fo-
schis' Molise was there, you know
always faithful and always in despair.
And also Comelli, he that has such
gallantry-he has promised
to kill himself for my sake within !
month. We shall see. All, ahp'
And, sitting opposite to him In a
rustic OF satin and jet, making shine
ike two stars the brilliants, large as
hazelnuts, which adorned her small
ears, she continued to laugh, with her
elastic laughter, full of mischief and
full of tenderness. ]

could not comprehend how SO much
time had passed. He could not per-

Ing, present from motives of curiosity
at ball to which the employees of his
bank had invited him, he must needs
be smitten by the exquisite, yaporous
grace Of that blond girl, dressed sim

a funny little man with baby face
and big, silvery beard-her father, a
modest clerk in the bank; rather
ridiculous little old man who, beside
that divine apparition, slender in her
robes Of snow, made one think of the
gnomes OF folk tales, always crouch
Ing at the feet of fairies.
All, weakness of hearts growing Old!
That apparition was enough to shake
all the ideas of Luigo Marchis con-
corning matrimony, and as the old
gnome, despite his absolute nullity,
was an honest citizen, incapable of re-
sisting the assiduities of the director
to his pretty daughter, the sutton had
been greatly pleased with the consent
Of that little maiden Of eighteen, that
beautiful creature, that blond being,
to become his wife. Now he trembled
with joy. His eyes were misty with
vivid emotion-not perceiving that

like a recall TO real life outside of the

should have had that caprice one might
have proposed to have her own dia

confessing his powerlessness. Yet it
must be done. And he made an effort
at courage. s

him, throwing back and bending a lit

She laughed now deliciously, with
the air of her roguish hours. He was
silent for moment. Then, fixing a
vague look upon the delicate designs
of the oriental carpet, paling as if from
an inward wound, he murmured:
1.-The fact is that do not know-I do
not really know whether-whether |

She had quickly raised her head,
much surprised, uneasy, looking at
him. Such thing had never happened
to her. IS
Marchis wiped his forehead and re-
sumed his discourse.
'The fact is-you see, in bank like
moments in which one cannot-in
which it is impossible"
What was impossible for him in that
moment was to finish the phrase. He
stopped and lifted his eyes timidly to
her, desolately, as If to beg her to help
him. She was very pale, with sud-
den hardness in all her features, in her
compressed mouth, in her knit brows,
in her sparkling eyes.
"Haye you not ten thousand francs?
Is it possible?"
And her voice was as hard as her
look. profound hardness that star.
tied him. But all at once her face
changed expression, she recovered hers
fresh, tuneful laugh, and the sweet
and limpid ray was rekindled in her
blue eyes.

She really believed that she had hit
the truth with her words. Indeed he
had so well kept up the illusion with
her, he had hidden so jealousy his en-
barrassment, that she did not know
how to explain this sudden restriction.
But meanwhile every word of hers was
a blow to the heart of Marchis. He
saw her already at the ball, passing
from arm to arm. with her step like
q flying angel; listening to the insid-
lous compliments of Vico Molise and 7
his kind and keeping meantime in her 4
heart that leaven of rancor against 1
him because of his refusal. And he

made an unequal bargain.
Suddenly he rose like one who has
taken q decision, passed his hand
across his brow and, without replying,
went away to go out Of the house. She
believed that she had conquered and
let him go without moving herself,
only with a flash OF cunning In her
eyes. But when he was on the stairs
the door opened, and blond head
appeared between the folding doors:

He did not reply, and she heard his
step down the stairway, slow, heavy,
weary. ~.
The evening Of the ball Marchis
knocked at the door Of his Wife's dress

"Come in" And he entered.
In the little dressing room so illumin-
ed as to seem on fire, with the air filed
with fragrance from the little unstop-
