as a sheet, Mrs. Green said, and he
looked more like a corpse than a liv-
ing man. He never came down that
night, she found out by asking Mrs.
Fry, and the next morning when he
went to his work he looked GUNNER

ships Mrs. Hamilton, and she laid 1t

Serious, indeed, was the state Of
affairs to Constance. The relations
with her husband were of the most
constrained order and her interest in
Edes acknowledgements, indeed;
for she knew he was miserable on her
account, and pity was so ingrained
in her nature that she could feel for
his woes as though they were her
own.
One day she CHANGED to meet him
face to face as she was going down
the street and he was returning from
the mill. When he saw her he put out
his hand with an eloquent gesture to
stop her.
"Constance-Mrs. Hamilton, has he
come back?"
yes, suppose So"
He did not notice the Btrangeness of
her reply, but turned away his head
with a grOan, seemingly wrung from
his very heart.

lOnged to me-"

shook with emotion and his face was
convulsed
Hush! you must not say such
words. 1t is wicked you forget where
you are. We have talked too long
already. Good day" and she walked
hastily away, hoping no one had seen
them.
Edes walked slowly homeward, but
the effect of this interview did not
end it. 1t was destined to grow and
expand and fructify.
That evening Constance CHANGED to
be standing at dusk by her sitting
room window, looking out into the

TWO Hundred Miles of Lions,

In western India there is a place
named Junagadh. 1t Is governed by
ruler called a Nawab. This Nawab
has a peculiar fad. 1t is one that
probably no other person in the world
shares with him; at any rate, if any
body else has the same fad, it isn't
likely at all that he can indulge 1t as
the Nawab of Junagadh can, for in his
territory is the great forest of the
Cir, in whose 200 square miles there
are believed to be more lions and pam
theirs than are to be found in any
other part of the world-and the fad
of theNawab is lions.
In his territory it Is a prison Of
feCse for a native to kill a lion or
panther; and it Is only when visiting
Europeans enter the land that the
Nawab permits any hunting. Very
prominent Europeans know so well
tlAt the Nawab doesn't like to have
his lions shot that they politely de-
cline his invitation when he extends
it, knowing that this will please their
host more than anything that they
could do.
Even the viceroy of India, who re-
Gently visited the Nawab, refrained
from going out to shoot lion, al
though, of course, that ruler had made
all preparations for a great hunt.
The Nawab naturally has the finest
collection of lions in captivity in In
dia, and it happens often that at night
the Gagged animals are nearly driven
frantic by the roars Of free lions
which come out of the jungle and
prowl around just outside of the men,

could be no address more fatal than
this to business success, and up to
comparatively short time ago 13 Fri
day street realized all its possibilities
as a "hoodoo." Several business en-
terprises in succession failed there,
and then the building stood vacant
for a number of years. Finally it was
reopened by firm of bedding manu-
facturers, but they soon came to grief
and everybody in the neighborhood
was finally convinced that no under

another man, stealthily, it appeared to
her, following him. What was his OBJ
ject? Was it Edes? Why should he
follow her husband on a public thor
Oughfare, even though deserted as it
was now?
Edes did not follow him inside the
gate. Her husband did not see him at
all. But as he came slowly up the
walk to the house Constance saw the
man stop an instant and shake his
fist threateningly in the air That
threatening, uncOuth gesture frighten-
ed her, it was so instinct with unrea-
sOning fury. With a duh, heavy dread
at her heart she turned to meet her
husband, whose face seemed paler
than usual, and his manner somewhat
shaken.

He spoke tenderly, though his
words were matter of fact enough; ;
but her purpose seemed to be to
ignore everything like tenderness.

She looked at him wonderingly.
LET us begin afresh. Let us be

and be happy"
why put the past behind us?"
Because it will be best. You can
never love me again If you try to
