A few more moments of nervous in
decision passed; then she jerked out
spasmodically, II must take them to
the seaside, John. You can stay at
home if you like, but shall take my
children"

Kate went out, carrying her head
high, and with quite an unusual feel

1t was very lonely and miserable for
Join when he found himself in soil
tary possession Of his big house. For
it happened that, one day, when he
came home from business he discover
ed that his wife had gone away taking
with her their children, and only leav-
ing word with the servant that they
were going to the seaside.
At first he was so angry as to be
conscious of nothing but rage against
his wife for her detection. Then, as
he missed her help in various ways
the help which he had always taken as
his right without a single word Of
thanks-and the domestic machinery
went wrong without her patient guild
ing hand, he began to brood over his
injuries, not the least Of which was
the fact that no letter came for him,
and he felt ill-used and hurt.
"Glad to hear your wife and children
ere off to Pevensey Bay. Fine air
there. 1t will do them a world Of
good" said the doctor, meeting him
casually one morning. Thought Mrs.
Hacker little slow, you know, in TAX
ing my advice. But she has gone now,
and the young ones are already pick
ing up finely"
Hacker stared at him. Had he seen
them, or heard from Mrs. Hacker?
John was too proud to ask, and with a
short nod he passed on.
The doctors intimate knowledge Of
the health Of Hackers wife and chill
dren made another injury over which
the unhappy man brooded until he felt
quite sick. He was about as miserable

A WIFE'S REVOLT

passed away from this life In her
sleep.
Her doctor wrote upon the death GER
tificate that she died of measles, but
her mother knew better. The measles
was a detail; the whole peace and
happiness of tile child's life had been
crushed out by her fathers iron hand.
The mothers only consolation was
that the little one was gone where no
longer her fathers autocratic will
could blot out happiness.
And now 1t happened that the other
children were off color. with poor ap-
petites and looking thin and weedy.
Little friends of their were at the sea-
side, and they wanted to go, too, just
as much as their mother wished to
take them. Moreover, the family doc
tor told Mrs. Hacker that unless she
took the children to the seaside they
would suffer in health. He thought
her a rather stupid woman not to act
upon his advice when he saw the chill
dren about with their pale faces but
then he did not know Mr.. Hacker.
1t seemed to the mother, as she stood
before her husband watching him
write, with no apparent heed for her
distress and agony of disappointment,
that she almost hated his handsome
face, and the fine presence which
caused him to be so much admired.
1.-The time has come for me to make
a stand" she said to herself. IF my
