"And the world will say: What did
she see in him."
Exactly! That's just what the
world is saying Of me, I expect!" Ell
lice Dare threw back her pretty head
and looked a little defiantly at her
husband of a year. What did she
see in lim?'"
"Well?" he laughed bit constrain-
edly. "And what did you see in me?"
She lifted her gray eyes to his and
shrugged her slender shoulders with
an insouciant air.
"Not much!" was the unexpected re-
ply. Inlay I-offer you a bachelors
button, Geoff?"
She held out the tiny red blossom
little more than a daisy blushing WV
idly-with careless bow, which
somehow had the power to irritate
him in his present mood
He took it and flung it far away

though it was mid-June These little
tiffs were becoming of almost daily
occurrence now, and both Of them
were at fault, she knew And yet
Geoffrey would not, or could not. see
where he provoke ed by his heavy, un-
certain temperament, and E}lice. a
creature made for smiles and laugh
ter and fun, loved nothing so much
as to tease him.
A sob escaped her slim. white
throat as she sank down on a seat,
and the sea made a little tapping
sound on the sand below which seem
ed fit accompaniment to her
thoughts.
''Ill try ever so hard--ever so hard.
next time;' she murmured to herself.
"Perhaps-oh, if only Geoffrey would
not take things so seriously! Why
oh, why, didn't he kiss that bachelors
button. I believe if he had, I'd have
kissed him.
She rose and whistled to her dog,
and the two were soon racing over
the heathery moor which fringed the
coast, each IN their different way. en-
joying the exhilaratinS air and the
exercise of mind and body.
All at once something her husband
! had said came to her mind She had
! been very near to forgetting it in her
! volatile way.
II am no longer a bachelor, worst

Had Geoff meant that-really meant
! it? And if so, what about herself?
Did he wish that she was dead? But
/ she was young and strong and healthy
! and likely to live for many a Ions
Gay?
Something must be done. She could

rot employ detectives; he made not
the slightest effort to find his run
away wife. She had gone-it was her
choice, and he accepted it in the
same phleg1natic way he lived his life
There came a day when he had to
go into his wife's room for some
thing, at least twelve months after
her disappearance. He had not enter
ed it from that day when he had come
home to find her gone till row, and
to-day as he stood on the threshold
the daintiness and emptiness Of it
struck home. Where was she, the
dainty owner of this pretty home?
On the dressing table witEered
blossom lay, quite dry and shrivelcd
up, but bearing very faint semblance
to that he had flung away the last
time he saw her-a bachelors button!
He picked it up and it cracked in
two. Wondering at himself he laid
his lips on the dead thing, then put
it carefully away in his pocket
Come with me- said a friend to
him, meeting him in the city the next
day, "Ive got case on in the police
court, and it is likely to be amusing.
Millman Smith, you know, can be aw-
fully witty at times"
Geoffrey had lain awake all night,
he was tired and unfit for work. SO
he accepted his friends invitation be-
cause he felt disinclined for anything
else, and the two men were soon lis
tening to the case before Lynes,
which had not yet come on.
Il seem to know that voice. Dare
muttered, as steady, girlish voice
broke on his ears.
He looked up to get "a glimpse of
the speaker. She was defending her
self-a slim young waitress-from an
accusation made against her by an
other waitress from the same estab-
']ishment-it was a charge of stealing
half a sovereign, and though no one
had seen the defendant commit the
act, half sovereign was found upon
MED that it was the other girls; it
was her own, she said.
DaTe's friend had taken the oppor-
tunity for an after luncheon nap, the
girls voice broke in the middle of a
long sentence, and Geofrey, looking
up; caught a startled gaze fixed upon
him. In an instant it flashed across
him. Ellice!
He Scrambled down from his seat
and came up behind Millman Smith,
who greeted him with a hasty smile.
Then ensued a slight consultation.
The magistrate spoke: "This emf
nent gentleman, Mr.. Geoffrey Dare,
will defend you," he said. r:
And defend her Dare did to the best
of his ability. Following his sugges.
ton, the other waitress jacket lining
was searched, and the lost money
was found; there had been hole in
the pocket, and it had slipped through.

When the blood is disordered every

the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte

speaks as follows:
I'm the winter of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was cessation
