Young Mrs. Babcock vas certain that
she possessed absolute confidence in
her husband. She scorned the silly
doubts M suspicious OF other women,
maintaining that such an attitude on
a wife's part, instead Of improving mat
ters, would invariably drive her hus-
band from her.
Ii the atmosphere OF home could be
kept untainted by the deadly green poi
son of jealousy, breathing naught but
harmony n perfect trust, the master
OF that house would need no urging to
keep him contented with his own fire.
side. He would have no wish TO be
elsewhere. Such was Mrs, Babcock's
belief.
Nevertheless, Ii came to pass that
with the return of a former friend,
Glenna Howe, into her life, there COM
menced a period of unhappiness totally
inconsistent with her expressed con
victions.
The infelicity did not begin at once.
There was nothing in Babcock's man
ner then, nor In Glenna's either. to sug-
gest anything more than a friendly COR
diality, most natural under he cir
cumstances. He shared his wife's
pleasure over the fact that her girl
hood friend had come to live in the
same city, and, OF course. there were
otN bdNh III aiid ali opStA -
ance OF the usual sociabilities.
On w or three occasions 1t was
necessary fer the husband to escort
Miss Howe to her home. Mrs. Babcock.
Of course, thought nothing of this or
OF similar civilities.
II was not until she had twice en-
countered the two walking together
down town so e~ngrossed in CONVERSE
ton as to be apparently lost to their
surroundings that she began to feel the
prickings Of a hateful suspicion.
The first occasion she might have ex-
cused. 1t certainly seemed most rea-
sonable, as her husband stated, that he
had CHANGED to run across Miss Howe
and was accompanying her to the ele-
waited station. twithstanding the
fact that they had both looked quite
startled when she greeted them, the
wife accepted the explanation in good
faith.
But the second occasion-well, 1t
seemed strange, TO say the least, that
Ralph should chance" to meet Glenna
so frequently.
