1t was only little while after dinner that van
Stafford excused himself and started for the club
usual. His wife followed him denurely to the door
and there, under the goggling eyes of Baxter, he
caught her in his arms and kissed her impetuously,
ferce1y even 1t was the sudden outbreak of an
mpulsive nature, the sort of thing that makes
know she is loved. She thrilled at his touch
and reached two white hands forward peadingly.
Then the door closed, and she stood staring down
at the tip of her tiny boot with lowered lids and
little melancholy droop at the corners of her mouth.
1t was after ten o'clock when van Stafford awoke
the following morning. He had been at his club
late, until after two, and now drowsily permitted
himself to be overcome again by the languid list
essness which is the heritage of late hours At ten
minutes past eleven he appeared at breakfast.
Mrs. van Stafford has been down, suppose!' he
asked of maid.
She was down few minutes after eight o'clock,
Sir, the maid explained, and hurried through her
breakfast; then she went out:
Did she leave any word?,
Van Stafford finished his breakfast silently and
thoughtfully. About noon he too went out. One
of the first persons he met down town was Mrs.
Blackjack. and she rushed toward him with out

mo" Mrs. Blackjack assured him. Il can't
imagine where she is keeping. herself
Van Stafford gazed at her in dumb bewilderment
impression, he said deliberately, that you went
shopping together yesterday
Goodness, mol haven't seen her in three weeks.
Van Saffords fingers closed slowly, fercely, but
his face relaxed little, masking with slight smile
turbulent rush of mingled emotions
She mentioned your name, he said at last
calmly Perhaps she said she going to call
on you. l misunderstood her.
He didn't remember the remainder of the con-
versaton, but it was of no consequence at the
moment He had not misunderstood her, and he
knew he had not At last he found himself at his
club and there idle guesses and conjectures flowed
through his brain in an unending stream. Finally
he grimly.

thoughts game of billiards; instead, he only
subjected himself to open derison for glaringly
inaccurate play. Finally he flung down the cue,
strobe to the telephone, and called up his home.
us Mrs. van Stafford there?" he inquired of
Baxter.
NO. sir. She hasn't returned yet"
Van Stafford banged the telephone vicously as he
hung up the receiver. At six o'clock he returned
home His wife still out. At half past eight
he sat down to dinner alone. He didn't enjoy
it; indeed, hardly tasted it. Then, just as he
finished, she in with rush of skirts and Tilt of

this morning?" she asked
Van Stafford grunted narticulately
May l inquire she went on placdly, and
particular grunt means that you are not?'
Van Stafford lowered his newspaper and glanced
at his wfe's pretty face. She smiled charmngly.
Really, beg your pardon, he apologized. Il
hardly haG think MT shall 60 out feel rather sess

She took last sip of her coffee, brushed two or
three tiny crumbs from her lap, laid her napkin

After awhile he finished the papers and stood look
ing out window, yawning prodigously at the pros
picked up handkerchief which had fallen beside
her chair. He merely glanced around. She was
dressed for the street, Immediately, stunningly
gowned as only young and beautiful and wealthy
woman gown herself.
Where are you going, my dear?" he inquired
languidly
Out" she responded archly.
She passed through the door He heard her step
and the rustic of her skirts in the hail. then heard
the front door open and close. For some reason, not
quite clear even to himself it surprised him. she
had never done thing like that before. He walked
to the front window and looked out. His wife went
straight down the street and turned the first
After time he wandered away to the library to
nurse an emotion he had never felt before. 1t was
curiosity
Mrs van Stafford did not return home for luncheon
SO he sat down alone Afterward he roamed about
down town. He appeared at home again just in
time to dress for dinner
Has Mrs Stafford returned?" was his first
question of Baxter, who opened the door.
Yes, sir, half hour ago. responded Baxter
At dinner his wife rosily radiant. She
smiled brilliantly upon her husband. To him it
all as if some great thing had been taken out
of his life, leaving it desolate, then suddenly
returned. Unnamed emotions struggled within him
prompted by that curiosity of the morning and
dozen questions hammered insisenty for expression
But he repressed them CALAMITY, and for this he
duly rewarded
Il had such delightful time to-day!" his wife
exclaimed after the soup Il called for Mrs. Black
lock Immediately after I left here, and were
together all day shopping We had luncheon down
town"
Oh that it! Van Stafford laughed outright
from vague sense of relief which he could not have
called by name, and toasted his wife silently by
lifting his glass. Her eyes sparkled at the COM
plment. The glass drained, he snapped the slender
stem in his fingers, laughed again, and laid it aside
Mrs. van Stafford dimpled with sheer delight "Oh,
Van, you dear silly boy!" she reproved softly, and

ed Two Waxahachie preachers an
nounced in the Daily Light that they
would preach on the San Francisco
disaster Following their sermons

naturally conclude that one or both
of the preachers who had taken thu
incident as his subject was being re
buked. No one who heard my ser
mon will say that I presumed to say
what was in the mind of God, anG
am confident that the other one
who preached on the subject believed
no such doctrine. The Light did not
say that the utterance came from To-
cal pulpits, but many persons would
very naturally conclude that it did.

MANY PEOPLE COMING
latiCsfioas sre That large Crowds viii
fiSii City Carnival Week.

The endeavor of the Retail Mer-
chants association of Waxahachie to
entertain their friends and guests
during the week OF MAY has met
with hearty approval on the part OF
all the people and the information
from the outlying towns and the sur
rounding country is that the city will
be crowded during the six days of
the carnival.
The committee Of the Merchants 8
Association has engaged the New
Parker Amusement company for six
days, during which there will be
five afternoons and six evenings that
the doors of all attractions will be
thrown open. There are two big free
attractions. One of these is the dar-
ing ride of the nervy French woman
who sits astride a diamond framed
bicycle Of ordinary make and con-
struction, and travels with the speed
OF bullet down an incline which Is
pitched at an angle Of ~ degrees
At the bottom there is a slight rise,
and gap of forty feet She leaps
this gap, beneath which there Is
grand pyrotechnic display, the color
ed lights burning brightly, and then
alights wheel first, upon a shorter
incline which carries her to safety
ropes below. 1t is one of the most
daredevil acts ever invented, and
excites the admiration of every one.
The other big free attraction is
that performed by the Girl from Abi-
lene. This girl, a mere slip of femi-
ninity, scarcely more than a hundred
pounds in weight, but a bunch of
nerve and fearlessness, is enclosed in
huge wooden ball, which is hermet-
ically sealed. At the top of long
incline, the ball is given a start, and
gathering momentum as 1t rolls, it
shoots through a large steel loop,
nothing to guide it and the little
woman inside unable in any way to
save herself should an accident oc-
bcur. 1t is tr~,le that accidents are

FRISCO CONNECTION.
To Be Built from Carrollton to Dali

The Frisco is preparing to build
from Carrolltoa into Dallas or to a
connection with the Rock Island be-
tween Dallas and Fort Worth. The
Frisco now uses the Cotton Belt and
T. & P. tracks from Carrollton to
Fort Worth, but with the new line
the joint track Will not be used.
By building to point on the Rock
Island between Dallas and Fort
Worth the Frisco can obtain a short
er line into Fort Worth than that
