Quaintance Mrs. Hartnett had had to
contend with Hartnett's jealousy. a
person Is born jealous Just as he IL
born with blue eyes or liking for
chocolates. Hartnett had full; meas
ure Of that evil trait.
Before they were married 1t had
been different. At first Il had been a
joke. then a certain pleasure to Helena
to find how she could sway his moods.
Hartnctt was handsome and popular
and sought after, and 1t was rather
complimentary than otherwise to have
him glover and sulk if.she smiled on
anyone else or talked longer to an

REAL CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.

October 18th is the date long ago
set by the Democratic national COM
mittee for the publication Of its cam
paign contributions. but the prelimi-
nary list printed in the newspapers OF
Saturday is earnest OF the genuine
ness OF Democratic publicity. The
fund o. so far received Is notably
small. reaching a total of only 500.
900; and OF this sum. $4,000 came
from the Denver convention allow
ance. Perhaps the Federal law for
bidding contributions from corpora
tons had something to do with sucn
insignificant returns, though the
Democratic party in time past mas
reaped little larsesse from corporate
interests. When set down against
the huge Republican corruption FUNDS
Of past campaigns. the sum is increaio-
ly pickaypnijh. Yet perhaps from the
people at large there will be no re-
grets at this. The sentiment Of the
hour is certainly against the use OF
unlimited money in prediction strus-
giles. Mr.. Debs, with his marked per-
s,nal economies and his pay-as-you-en-
ter oratorv. has given an interesting
object lessen in how inexpersiveiy
thorough canvas may be made.
The publication OF this contributors
list puts the Republican party in =
bad hole. where II squirms largely IN

unwilling to extricate itself as yet In
the one logical way. Its spokemen

had not broken himself Of the habit.
Not that he made scenes. but the at
mosphere of rebellion. OF protest, Of
indignation with which lie surrounded
her on occasion was depressing to say
the least. 1t was not that he resented
the presence Of any particular person,
but that he resented any withdrawal
of her attention from himself even for
a few brief moments.
He is merely a sulky little boy"
Mrs. Hartnett frequently told herself.
Il must remember that and try not to
mind"
But she did mind. At last inGisDa-
ton grew uppermost in her feelings.
That she should be conscious OF giving
her every thought and all her affection
to him and yet not succeed in satisfy
ing him reused her resentment. Fl
nally she discovered that she did not
care very much whether iIartnett was
indulging in a fit of Jealousy or not.
Then the inevitable happened-she
awoke to the realization that she did
not care for Hartnett. His state of
mind made absolutely no difference to
her That was why when his firm
wanted to send him abroad fG- cou-
pie OF years he went alone. They had
d.ifted too far apart even to consider
going. together. There was a mutT al
forbesrance which prevented any
words. but each knew.
As the day waned which witnessed
Hartnett's departure from Chicago
Helena -Hartnett sighed in relief. That
is. she thought It vas relief The pros
rect OF unbroken weeks and months
ahead Of her in which she would be
free to live and breathe and think
without the hampeTing fear Of precipi-
tating trouble was welcome.
No man who really cared for his
wife could make her miserable in the
way Har.nett had made her She did
not pretend to herself to be happy
since II was all over and she might
never see him again. but ut least she
was free from that awful. ever-presebt
cloud Of jealous espionage. She told
should recover the bright and cheerful
frame Of mind which had always been
hers In the old days. There must be
happiness for her somewhere.
New interests filed her life, but she
was restless She could consider Hart
raft in a calm. impersnnai way which
assured he- that an affection for hin
had vanished long ago And nat she
never wanted to sec him AGAIN or to
