CHAPTER XXI.

DIR. Peele's death had been ex-
pected towards the end. by every
one but his wife, who, although she
had been gently warned both by him
and by Frank Armathwaite. had been
unable to recognize the possibility
that the husband who had always
been submissive to her every wish,
should fatty assert his authority, after
all these years, by dying without her
permission. When Armathwaite re-
entered the house. after the departure
of Lady Kildonan, he found Mile
crying very quietly by herself in the
dining room, while Mrs, Peele, her
grief struggling with a strong sense
of injury, looked in from time to time
to upraid her. Mile raised her head
as he entered the room and came
slowly towards him in the dusk.

giving him her hand

able, and mistrustful of the proffered
help.

Arthur r. Pennell, lawyer, was named
by Burdick as correspondent in his
suit for divorce against Mrs. Burdick.
Died with his wife by going over a
precipice int stone quarry.
Mary Cunningham, the friend and
companion of Mrs. Paine, claims that
Mrs. Paine did not leave her house the
night of Burdick's death.
STORY OF THE PLAY.
Let us gather up the threads of this
tragic drama, as far as it has come
out There was a family mix-up,
which would do credit to the Newport
smart set. Mr.. Burdick was aware of
his wife's relations with Mr.. Pennell,
and discussed them freely with Mrs.
Paine. He didn't want to be too hard
on either; but welcomed the opportu-
nifty to get divorce, in order that he
might marry Mrs. Warren, whose
friend and confidant Mrs. Paine was.
He wanted a general getting of di-
vorces, so that Mr. Pencil could take
Mrs. Burdick off his hand, and was
"Aii4ho " IlohN any lCuoOAdblC d.
rangement about the children. Mrs.
Pencil was in the way of this ar
rangement, because she seemed to be
satisfied with her husband and to
have no second matrimonial project in
| view Besides she had made trouble
between friends by telling Mr.. Burdick
of the misconduct of her husband with
his wife.
So the matter stood when Burdick
sent away his wife and began his suit
for divorce. The mhole lot seem
queer enough to people with old fash
Toned ideas about personal honor and
the quick mortal forfeit gentlemen
were once accustomed to exact as
readily as they gave it for mortal of
fences. But Pencil seems to have
been the worst of bad lot He was
satisfied with things as they were and
so was his wife. He would neither let
Mrs. Burdick alone nor set himself
free to marry her. He resented all
Burdick's steps of very moderate ag-
gression and whined about suicide if
exposure came to him.
Burdick was mysteriously killed

police worked many days on the the
DRY that he had been killed by a W.
man, without supporting it by one
scrap of evidence. Burdick had been
bounded by Pencil with detectives in
order to convict him of indiscretions.
The scene of the murder was arranged
to look as if he had been killed in the
midst OF an interview discreditsEle to
him. This led the family and doctors
to consider, in the first moments of
surprise and horror, false theory of
suicide. But the theory that he was
killed by woman is gradually break
ing down. 1t. got a severe shock
week or two after the murder, when
Pennell and his wife died instantly in
a mysterious automobile accident.
which looked strangely like calculat-
ed suicide.
Many persons believed Pencil to be-
the murderer from the beginning.
Now one after another declares the
belief openly, in newspaper interviews;
and even in testimony before the coro-
ner,s inquest. Surprising Burdick to
have been killed by man, and sup
posing Pencils death to have been
suicidal, there is strange similarity
between the careful dramatic arrange
ments made to make one seem like
the act of a woman and the other an
accident. If Pencil really was the
murderer, stage manager worthy Of

Armathwaite hesitated, remember
ing her confession about the uncon-
trollable violence of her feelings. The
shock to a woman of impetuous and
passionate temperament, who had pre-
pared herself for an important inter
view with her oldest friend, would, on
learning his sudden death, be great
ana terrible.
"Well, well, what is it?" she re-
peated, sitting up and locking down i'll
to his face in the dusk with some
eagerness.

Armathwaite drew back in infinite
disgust.
Il think | must ask you to excuse
me, Lady Kildonan. The groom can
drive, can he not?"
"Oh, yes, if you don't want to GOMEZ"
she answered, in an offended tone. She
was busily turning something over in
her own mind AS the groom left the
horses heads to take Armathwaite's
place beside her, she beckoned the
doctor towards her, and said, in low
voice:
You won't mind my asking you
know you were in the doctors comb
dence-do you know anything about
the provisions of his will?"
v"No, your ladyship; | am very sorry
that ] cannot satisfy-your anxiety"
"Oh. | only wanted to know II the
poor ladies were provided for, and his
protegee, Alma. not forgotten! Good
night. Tell Mrs. Peele and Mile
how dreadfully sorry am"
These words were uttered in the
softest and sweetest tones of con-
dolence, but to Armathwaitc they
might as well have been jeers and
curses. If there had been more day
light. or If the lady's usually keen
wits had not been SO entirely lulled
by a reckless and Indifferent languor,
she would have seen an expression on
the young mans face, as he raised his
hat, more dangerous than any that
had ever yet menaced her selfish en-
joyment
She has saved me a pang of re-
morse, and freed me from my last

thought It was a case of woman

With slow steps and heavy heart
he went back into the silent house of
mourning.

DRESS WELL YOUR PART.
World often Judges Man by His

If you would be successful you
must appear so. Appearances are not
everything in this world, but they go
a long way toward making a gooa
impression on our fellow-men, and
sometimes apparent success leads to
real success.
The man or woman who is neatly
dressed and wears a cheerful express
sion is far more likely to succeed in
obtaining a desired object than the
one who dresses untidily and shah
billy and carries a lachrymose face
about with him.
The world takes us at our face
value. If We bear the mark of pros
perity it will stretch out a helping
hand to raise us one rung higher on
the ladder of success: but if We wear
the downtrodden garb of failure it
will judge us as incompetent and turn
toward us the cold shoulder of in
difference. 1t is not only among the
improvident that carelessness as to
appearance prevails. Many rich
