HOW He WENT CUNNING

on account of her talent for 'socia
politics" to use a coined expression
than her beauty. Irene Whittemore o
New York was not only an adept IL
those artificial ways which go to max
a woman a social success, but she wa
very beautiful woman. Her smil
was irresistible, especially as it showed
superb set of teeth. Many a woman
obliged to repress her own smile rath
er than reveal discolored or repaire,
teeth, enved Miss Whittemore her thor
ough abandonment to mirth, which re
vealed an additional beauty.
Miss Whittemore. being comparative
ly poor, had no choice between aban
doning society and marrying a ricl
man, Anderson Asche, possessed o
$4,000 a year, fell in love with her
was accepted, and they were married.
All went well till one autumn daJ
shortly before Mr.. Asche was abou
to go cunning for woodcock a not,
which his wife had neglected to sen(
lay unsealed on her dressing case. i
was addressed to a DR.. Bachrach
whose name the husband had never
heard bis wife mention. the family
physician being DR.. Fairchild. Ascht
became suspicious and, slipping th'
letter from the envelope, read
! My husband soes ~ his shooting cluf
on Thursday Come Friday afternoon al
3 o'clock. ! will watch for you and lei
YOU in. Remember that any slip would
ruin me-
AS there was no street and number
on the envelope. Asche concluded that
his wife intended sending it by conf
dental messenger. Putting the note
back into its envelope. he replaced il
on the dressing case and left the room
Thinking that his wife might desire
the services of a physician without his
knowledge. he looked through direc-
tory and discovered that there was nc
DR.. Bachrach in the city. Then he
gave up all hope as to tie innocence of
the designation.
Il have decided" he said to his wife
that evening at dinner, mot to go
shooting till Friday afternoon"
Tndeed?" said his wife carelessly.
"And if don't find the game in
abundance shall return Saturday
morning / can find ont all about 1t as
soon as l get to the club. If there is
anything you wish to do without me.
you had better attend to 1t on Friday
night"
"There is no social matter that l
think of. shall take advantage of
your absence to get q good rest"
Asche expected that his wife would
change her designation to Friday night.
and he was not disappointed. When
DR.. Bachrach stepped from a carriage
before the Asche residence, Mr.. Asche
was on the opposite side of the street
watching for him. A friend whom the
injured husband had taken into his
confidence stepped up to DR.. Bachrach
and informed him that Mrs. Asche de-
sired the doctor to submit himself to
his guidance and ne would take him
to a place where she awaited him and
where she could receive him with less
risk. Without waiting for DR.. Bach
rach's consent, the friend pushed him
into another carriage, got in himself.
and the coachmar, who had been pre-
viously instructed drove away. Asche
preceded them in another carriage.
In a few minutes Asches carriage
stopped at house, which he entered,
and directly afterward the friend and
DIR. Bachrach entered after him, When
the two latter stepped into room on
the second floor, Asche was standing
before fireplace ready to receive
them. There was look on his face
that meant death. and DR.. Bachrach
saw at once thai he had been trapped.
Sir" said A!che. INV wife's cor
respondence with you has fallen into
my hands. Ynu have wrecked my life.
Either you OF 1 shall not go out of this
room alive"

"Silence! You shall have the same
chance for your l.re as l. You shall be
represented by friend"
But
"Silence. I say! There are writing
materials in that secretary Go there
and write TO n friend simply that you
desire him to ZONE to you at once, and

Twill yor"
do as bid you" Numbered Asche,
"and do not tempt ME to kill you in a
way that will be considered murder"
."If you will: only listen. If
II will not listen. Write for your
friend. Then we will settle which. il
either. of us Is TO live"
Asche stood pointing TO the desk, and
Bachrach. despairing of a hearing. went
there and wrote something on a piece
of paper.
Examine It. Higbee.'' said Asche
Remember he shall write nothing but
a simple request for friend to come to
him."
Higbee took the paper and read it. A
singular expression stole over his face.
"Well," queried Asche. what is itT'
"a fool blunder."
"What do you neanT
