WHAT THEY
 LEARNED

From the first days of their ac- quaintanee Mrs. Hartnett had had to contend with Hartnett's jealousy. 4 person is born jealous just as he is born with blue eyes or a liking for chocolates. Hartnett had full meas ure of that evil trait.
 Before they were married 1t had been different. At first it had been a joke, then a certain pleasure to Helena to find how she could sway his moods. Hartnett was handsome and popular and sought after. and it was rather complimentary than otherwise to have him glover and sulk if she smiled on anyone else or talked longer to an other man than himself. There was

 Cant Help It." after they had been married several years HaTtnett had not broken himself of the habit. Not that he made scenes. but the at mosphere of rebellion, of protest, of indignation with which Le surrounded her on occasion was depressing to say the least. It was not that he resented the presence of any particular person, but that he resented any withdrawal of her attention from himself even for few brief moments.
 He is merely a sulky little boy, Mrs. Hartnett frequently told herself. ''I must remember that and try not to mind"
 But she did mind At last indigna- tion 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. FT- nally she discovered that she did not care very much whether Hartnett was indulging in a fit of jealousy or not.
 Then the inevitable happened-she N"SAAN Nc IAAC lNtlAlAEtlbAt that SAt 24tl 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 fo- a cOu- pie of years he went alone. They had drifted too far apart even to consider going together. There was a mutual forbearance which prevented any words, but each knew.
 As the day waned which witnessed Hartnetts departure from Chicago Helena Hartnett sighed in relief. That is, she thought it was relief The pros pect of uubTOken weeks and months ahead of her in which she would be free to live and breathe and think without the hampering fear of precipf- tating trouble was welcome.
 No man who really cared for his wife could make her miserable in the way Hartnett had made her. She did not pretend to herself tn he happy since 1t was all over and she might never see him again. but at least sHa was free rom that awful. ever-present cloud of Ieafous espionage She told herself that as time went on sha should recover the bright and cheerful frame of mind which had aIways been hers in the old days. There must be happiness for her somewhere
 New interests tIred her life, put sue was restless. She could consider Hart nett in a calm. impersonal way which assured her that all affection for him had vanished long ago and that she never wanted to see him again or to go back to the old troublous days which had meant a constant fear of rouslng his jealous temper. The relief from that was worth all the blankness of the present.
 When the two years were up ana Hartnett came back, e course, she rushed into his arms without a word and he held her speeches., his face white and tense.

 "Don'tlg Helena Hartnett choked. Tt doesn't make any difference whether you have or not-and I don't believe you have or ever will-but-''
 I've learned not to be a fool, Hele. na," said Hartnett
 Being a woman, she believed that he believed it, though she knew leopard cannot change his spots. She. too, had learned that the fact that they cared for each other outweighed everythias else.-Chicago Daily News.
