sonal except when he touched upon her work. He predicted a future for her. Had 1t not been for his warm close sympathy she would have lost heart and given up writing.
 Four years passed. She still heard from him-once a week the letters
 came now. Somehow they were differ
 ent. fuller of the homage a great mind pays to its superior, for there had come to her the success that either kills or strengthens genius. It came after she published "Hilarion." 8 poem replete
 with bitterness and passion. It was
 such an unusual thing for a woman to
 write that the critics praised and snarled, and wondered till they made
 her famous.
 | She seemed transformed. The dull | ness died from her voice; it was Yigrant with the tenderness bubbling from a woman's lips when her psychic nature
 is revealed. Her blue eyes showed flashes of rich light, startling even to
 herself whenever she looked in the mir
 TOT.
 The fact that her husband sneered
 at her literary aspirations melted her
 to greater effort. Since the interview | in the parlor that momentous day she | had seen but little of him. He came
 and went as he chose, and she tolerated
 his presence at dinner and certain func-
 tions where the conventionalities re- quired that they be seen together ! She never entirely understood the difference in herself till her friend | Violet Scarborough. said to her: l Marion, if you'd write another poem
 like 'Hilarion' you would be really hu-
 man"
 What do you mean?" Marion smiled l at Mrs. Scarborough.
 Why. that you look more alive than 1 you have in years-alive to impressions indicative of an interest. If you | weren't so-so-prim, I'd declare you were in love. but you never see any
 man except Bal; and how could you be ] in that delirious state?' Notwithstanding the aspersion cast upon her liege lord Mrs. Broughton | laughed. Mrs. Scaroorough always | amused her.
 Tell me the truth" insisted Violet Marion thought of a letter she had received that morning from EstiIl
 Temple. Her heart throbbed heavily and her hands grew icy-vulgar signs of interest. She knew. But she an- | swered: I'm hanniar tha~ US~ haen

The negro woman who had dressed it for the grave had wrapped the dainty ruffled garments in the satiny linen for she had known instinctively that Mrs. Broughton would want the little rumpled gown and kimono.
 Marion examined the underwear and shut the drawer. She pulled out the one above 1t and hurredly lifted robes of finest cambric and lace. and richly embroidered cloaks from their folds. At last she summond a maid to pack the lavette for shipment. It was to be sent to a cousin, the possessor of twins whose sartorial needs were infinite.
 Late on spring Marion wont to a quiet village on the coast. The strength, the rhythm of the sea sang themselves so into her brain that she wrote some verses-little unpretending lines, but so full of beauty they were given place in the Sunday issue of big daily. Something In her poem touched the heart and soothed the tangled nerves of the managing edi- tor He wrote her hurried note of commendation. Managing editors don't usually trouble to do that sort of thing; but Marion's "Seaward" sent Estill Temples thought to gulf bound island where he had loitered a month of exquisite idleness.
 It was a broiling day when he first read her verses. The roar of the ely vii brated about him; he was tired of the heat and noise, and the restfulness her words evoked demanded, as he felt. an expression of praise. She thanked him for his kindness.
 Another note from him. She delayed answering it for several weeks. When she did write she received a charming, brilliant letter. such as a man might write to a woman whose soul touched his. He was at home alone. he said; had left the office jad- ed and worn, and was takinS the lib- erty of writing to her at length. He added that his wife had gone to Ha- vana with party of friends; his chill dren were with his mother at her country home-there were two--and he was free to follow. his own devices After this bit of personality he men toned some new books and a vital po- litical question.
 It was easy to drift into a regular correspondence with him. He wrote long delightful letters always imper-

 She crept up to her own chamber to Sit RdZlnS lnlO lAlt N'AAN to dwell upon the events of the past eighteen months. nevertheless she did think and think far beyond them into tbs days of her childhood As the memory of her maiden self grew too aggressive she got up slowly and walk ed to the bureau, cumbrous structure of sombre rosewood. polished till 1t shone in the freight like a new coffin. running on the electric light beside the mirror she pulled out the bottom draw CT and sat on the floor. The delicious appealing scent of rose perfume, min- gIed with the odor of fine flannel, fill ed the room. She put one hand over her eyes to brush away the tears, look ing as women do when they press their hands against the glass lids that shut awax their dead children. She moaned. the piteous. mediterranean that cuts so into the heart of the world and raises all mothers-human and animal-abova other living things.

 ink. Nevertheless, there had come no
 line from him since that brief admis-
 sion which had shown her heart to her.
 Thinking of his guarded words she
 wept softly. The joy or tne entire
 world was very wide, but in her life
 was the desolation that had sprung into being the night MT. Graham had denounced him as a fiippant creature, eager for the love of women. Yet, with true inconsistency. she was glad she had not mailed the letter telling him she wanted to see him.

When Marion Broughton discovered that truth and her husband were anti podal she fell into dire anguish. Her health suffered: and the baby, whose coming she had looked for with pitifui yearning. lived only a week. long wearisome illness ollowed-grevious to her nurses-for she had no wish to live. She simply groped amid the bare, bleak spaces of her spirit, pray ing for something she knew would never be hers; but, by a sub-consclous effort, she struggled back at least to a normal state of body.
 The first time she was able to be downstairs she sent for her husband to come to her in the parlor. It was very still in the big arched room. The odor of magnolia-fuscati in an East Indian jar was so like the taste of over-ripe bananas that she turned the slats of a blind to let in the soft February air. Streaks of reddish sun shine mottled the semi-dusk and the blue gown she wore; 1t frightened the dull rose of the brocatelle curtains and made pool of light on the richly tinted carpet
 The door opened. Balfour Brough- ton came in with an air of holding the whip handle.
 She~regarded him steadily before she said: T haven't seen you since"
 ''The night you made such a scene Marion, I don't wonder you were ill you worked yourself into fury about nothing"

JAPANESE BURGLAR WHO TOLD.

Fujimoto, the polite Japanese who
pleaded guilty in Judge Gears court
yesterday to a charge of burglary in
the first degree and expressed the hope
that the honorable judge wou be le-
nient with him as he had a WIFE and
family and was very happy, had his
hope fulfilled this morning. He only Ie-
ceived a sentence Of fvesyears In Oahu
prison instead of twenty. There were
no previous convictions known against
Fujimoto but his method of abstract
ing valuable silks from a compatriot's
store showed a dangerous acquaintanc-
with ways of stealth.
Judge Gear instructed the interpreter
to tell the prisoner that he was only
getting five years whereas he might
have got twenty years had he not
pleaded guilty. Fujimoto seemed quite
satisfied.
