1--WE ne exclaimed suddenly, III
you Only knew, IL you only guessed
what I'm trying to say The perplex-
ity, the whole harassed suffering Of his
mind showed in the words. Loder, the
strong the resourceful, the self con-
tanned. was palpably, painfully at a
loss There was almost note of ap-
peal in the vibration of his voice.
| And Eve, standing by the fireplace,
heard and understood. In that moment
of comprehension all that had held her
silent, all the conflicting motives that
had forbidden speech, melted away be-
fore the unconscious demand for help.
Quietly and yet quickly she turned, her
whole face TRANSPORTED by a light that
seemed to shine from within-some-
thing singularly soft and tender.
There's no need to say anything"
she said simply, because know"
It came quietly, as most great reve-
lations come. Her voice was low and
free from any excitement, her face
beautiful in its complete unconscious
ness OF self. In that supreme moment
all her thought, all her sympathy, was
for the man-and his suffering.
To Loder there was space of in
credulity; then his brain slowly swung
to realization. "You know?" he re-
peated blankly. "You know?
Without answering, she walked to a
cabinet that stood in the window, un-
locked drawer and drew out several
sheets Of f1imsy white paper, crumpled
in places and closely covered with
writing. Without a word she carried
them back and held them out
He took them in silence, scanned
them, then looked up
In long, worthless pause their eyes
met. 1t was as if each looked speech
lessly into the others heart, seeing the
passions, the contradictions, the short
comings, that went to the making of
both. In that silence they drew closer
together than they could have done
through torrent Of words. There
was no asking Of forgiveness, no elab-
crate confession, on either side. In the
deep, eloquent pause they mutually
saw and mutually understood.

today" Eve said at last, land saw Lii
lian Astrupp reading that telegram
nothing could have seemed farther
from me than the thought that I should
follow her example. 1t was not until
afterward-not until-he came into the
room-until saw that you, as I be-
lieved, had fallen back again from
what respected to*what I-despised-
that knew how human I really was.
AS I watched them laugh and talk
felt suddenly that was alone again
terribly alone. III think-I believe
was jealous in that moment'- She
hesitated
Eve" he exclaimed.
But she broke in quickly on the
word. II felt different in that moment.
I didn't care about honor or things like
honor. After they had gone it seemed
to me that had missed something
something that they possessed. Oh,
you don't know what woman feels
when she is jealousv' Again she
paused. lit was then that the tele-
gram and the thought of Lillian's
amused smile as she had read it came
to my mind. Feeling as I did-acting
on what I ielt-I crossed to the bureau
and picked it up. In one second had
seen enough to make it impossible to
draw back Oh, it may have been dis
honorable, it may have been mean, but

said.
He walked onward, keeping his d.
rection unseeingly. He was passing
through the fire as surely as though
actual flames rose about his feet, and
whatever the result, whatever the fiber
of the man who emerged from the Or
deal, the John Loder who had hewn
his way through the past weeks would
exist no more. The triumphant egotist,
the strong man who by his own
strength had kept his eyes upon one
point, refusing to see in other direc-
tons, had ceased to be.
Keen though it was, his realization
Of this crisis in his life had come with
characteristic slowness When Lillian
Astrupp had given her dictum, when
the music of the orchestra had ceased
and the curtain risen on the second act
Of the play, nothing but a sense Of
stupefaction had filed his mind. In
that moment the great song was 81
fenced, not by any portentous episode,
not by any incident that could have
lent dignity to its end, but, with the
full measure of life's irony, by trivial
social commonplace. In the first SEN
sation Of blank loss his faculties had
been numbed. In the quarter of an
hour that followed the rise of the cur
tain he had sat staring at the stage,
seeing nothing, hearing nothing, filed
with the enormity Of the void that sud
denly surrounded him. Then from
habit, from constitutional tendency, he
had begun slowly and perseveringly
to draw first one thread and then an
other from the tangle of his thoughts,
to forge with doubt and difficulty the
thain that was to draw him toward the
hture.
It was upon this same incomplete
and yet tenacious chain that his mind
worked as he traversed the familiar
streets and at last gained the house he
had so easily learned to call home.
AS he inserted the latchkey and felt
it move smoothly in the lock a momen-
tary revolt against his own Judgment,
his own censorship, swung him sharply
toward reaction. But it is only the
blind who can walk without tremor

S) rose from his seat and made
his apologies to Lillian
At any other moment he might have
pondered over her manner of accept
ing them-the easy Indifference with
which she let him CO. But vastly
keener issues were claiming his atten-
ton, issues whose results were wide
and black.
He left the theater and, refusing the
overtures of cabmen, set himself to
walk to Chilcote's house. His face
was hard and emotionless as he hur-
ried forward, but the chaos in his mind
found expression in the unevenness of
his pace. To strong man the con-
fronting Of difficulties is never alarm
ing and is often fraught with inspira-
ton, but this applies essentially to the
difficulties evolved through the weak
ness, the folly or the force of another;
when they arise from within the mat

presence alone, that man may truly
measure himself.
AS Loder walked onward, treading
the whole familiar length Of traffic
filed street, he realized for the first
time that he was standing before that
solemn tribunal-that the hour had
come when he must answer to himself
for himself. The longer and deeper an
oblivion the more painful the awaken
ing. For months the song Of self had
beaten about his ears, deadening all
other sounds; now abruptly that song
had ceased, not considerably, not lin
geringly, but with suddenness that
made the succeeding silence very ter

would have done otherwise! I crum-

and carried them to my own room"
From the first to the last word of
Ewes story Loder's eyes never left her
face. Instantly she had finished his
voice broke forth in irrepressible Ques-
ton. In that wonderful space Of
time he had learned many things. All
his deductions, all his apprehensions,
had been scattered and disproved. He
had seen the true meaning Of Lillian
Astrupps amused indifrerence-th in
difference of variable, flippant na-
ture that, robbed of any real weapon
for mischief, soon tires Of game that
promises to be too arduous. He saw
all this and understood it with q
rapidity born of the moment; never

connected with this great discovery

was something quite immaterial to
any real issue, but something that
overshadowed every consideration in
the world.

They all laughed boisterously. Then
laughter, story and denouement were
all drowned in a tumultuous crash of
music. The orchestra ceased; there
was slight hum of applause, and the
curtain rose on the second act.

GALLANT FIGHT
FOR LIFE WAS VAIN
AFTER A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
MIR. THOMAS t. RICHARDS
DIED OF TUBERCULO-
SIS LAST FRIDAY.
His Death Took Place at the Home
of His Father, Captain ID. VI.
Richards, on South Ninth
Street at Six O'Clock.

After a gallant fight against tuber-
culosis, Mr.. Thomas T. Richards has
succumbed to the ravages of the dis
ease, having passed away at the resi-
dence of his father, Capt. d. NJ. Rich
ards, No. 403 South Ninth street, at
six O'Clock last Thursday evening.
Mr.. Richards. although quite young
man, had been a sufferer from lung
trouble for quite a long time. and
several years ago was compelled to
relinquish a lucrative position in New
York on account of his falling health.
He had spent the past eighteen
months in the West, hoping that the
equabIe climate would restore him
to health, or at least prolong his life.
The hope, however, was vain one.
as the expected results were not OBJ
tained. Instead of improving he
grew worse, and several weeks ago
suffered an attack of dengue fever
which greatly weakened and ener-
to Columbus, having been met at
New Orleans by his brother, Mr..
Ward Richards. The trip proved tenn
porarily beneficial, but he soon suf-
fered a relapse and for several days
previous to his death had been in a
critical condition.
Mr. Richards was a member of one
of the best known families in this
section. AS stated above, he was the
son of Capt. D. NJ. Richards, a well
known grocery merchant, and was
the brother of Chancery Clerk D. D.
Richards. There is quite large fam
lily of young men, his other surviving
brothers being Messrs. Ward, John
and Earl Richards, of this city, and
DR.. Charles Richards, of Hope, In
dian Territory.
The funeral occurred at the family
residence on South Ninth street at
1890 o'clock Saturday morning, hav-I
ing been conducted by Rev. w. A
Hewitt, pastor of the First Baptist
church. The interment was at
Friendship cemetery, Messrs. Harry
Frank Owen, E. l. Phillips,
j. II. Beard, Parker Reeves and r
E. Mahon having officiated as pail
bearers.

Accident at Railroad Crossing.

Mrs. S. B. Hudson narrowly es-
capped a serious accident while riding
in a carriage Friday afternoon, the
vehicle having turned over at the
corner of South Eighth avenue and
Seventh street, at which point the
tracks of the Mobile G. Ohio Railroad
cross the latter thoroughfare, Mrs.
Hudson, seated in the carriage of
Mrs. F. S. Aldrige, having been en-
route from the fair grounds to her
home on Main street. AS the car
riage neared the Seventh street cross
ing an engine approached from the
west, and in order to prevent a col
lfsion the driver was forced to run
his horses into a ditch. Mrs. Hud-
son, the driver and a negro woman
who was seated beside him, jumped
from the vehicle and escaped prac-
tically uninjured. The horses, how
ever, fell in the ditch, and it was necc
essary to cut the harness in order to
release them from their awkward po-
sition. The carriage was also badly
broken as a result of the accident

IN CENTRAL FALLS

1t Is believed that Mrs. Flora Goulet.
aged % years. OF Is Foundry street, Gen.
trail Falls. who died at her home last evs-
ming. committed suicide.
Shortly before O'clock last evening
she was seen seated on her back doorstep
and shortly afterward she went into tho

heard strange noises coming from the
Goulet apartments. Investigating. she
found Mrs. Goulet on the floor writh.ng
in convulsions. DIR. Boucher was summon
ed. He found that the woman was ap-
parently suffering from the drinking of
carbolic acid. The use OF stomach
pump failed to save her life and she died
about $50 o'clock.
The police were notified and Capt HUI
ing Investigated the case. He could find
no bottles about the apartments. II was
learned from neighbors that the woman
had been despondent as the result OF do
nestle troubles.
Medical Examiner Charles H. French

verdict as TO the cause OF the woman's
death, but will probably do so later.
