1t was a hard philosophy; but Sadie
was a woman-apd a very angry one
too, when that resolve was first formed
She had long ceased to have any
feeling for her husband except loath-
ing. She would ave been glad to
have heard of his death any time dur
ing the past five years. She had been
all-willing to let him believe her dead.
Still, he was the father of her child;
she was his wife, and no other woman
had a right to that place. And that
another had taken it enraged and
embittered the wife against that in
terloper, There are many singular ed
dies in the maelstrom of a woman's
anger.
The task of finding her husband
would now be rendered comparatively
easy, she thought, on account of the
new clue afforded by the recent mar
riage. A few inquiries enabled her to
learn that a record of all marriages
was kept at Somerset House, and that
it was open to her to search there.
But the search failed to help her.
She vas looking for the record of the
marriage of Bert Hunter, and although
she read that of the marriage of Ber-
tram Hunter Dorrison. Baron Broad
stone, to Evangeline Petherby, she had
not a suspicion of the truth.
She returned to the hotel weary and
irritable, and found awaiting her a
telegram which had been sent on from
the American exchange.
She smiled as she opened and read
that it was from Don Stuart, the con-
hdential agent of a Mr.. Mostyn, a Mex
lean mine owner and speculator, who
had bought some of her late uncle's
properties.
1t was a wireless message. dispatched
from the liner, and asked her to send a
letter to await his arrival in the era
vonia'' at Liverpool. saying where he
could see her at once on urgent BUSH
ness.
Don Stuart had been a favorite of
hers in her home in Saltillo, and a
frequent visitor. Little ''sonnie" loved
him, too. and he would bring her later
of her wee one. Her eyes bright
ened at the thought, and h lost no
time in sending off the message that he
was to come at once to The Carlton. It
be like d whiff of home to see
Don Stuart; and for a time she put all
the other bothersome matters aside TO
indulge in che pleasures of home-rev-
cries.
She loved her little one dearly. 1t

wrong scent, and that nothing would
come of the interview.
And why are you so curious about

Sadie knew that the best way to pat

about him.
He viii have a fine position some
day. unless, of course. an heir is born

suggestirely, and Sadie thought it best
to turn the conversation into other
channels.
Thus she had to return to her hotel
emDty-handed. so far as her wish for
practical information about Dorrisoif
was concerned. Scoundrel though the
mar was, he was yet clever enough 10
cover his rascality so that no one ar-
peared to suspect him; and her task
promised 10 be a much greater n than
she(had anticipated.
There remained only to resort to coer-
cion; and for a couple Of days she
awaited his reply to her letter with
growing Impotence. His absence from
town explained the delay, OF course. but
this did not prevent her from fretting
at it.
She wished to be doing something.
and the enforced inactivity chafed aud

should have the knowledge in her pos

thought of hearing of him frons such

engrossing.

unpleasant but fairly certain. 1t was
to force the information from Gilbert
Dorrison. using, if need We're, the facts
she had as~certained concerning the
Llewellyns.
The thought of meeting Dorrison
again was exceedingly distasteful, but
she had had to face unpleasant things
before, and it was not her way TO shirl
what was necessary merely because it
was disagreeable. So she sat down at
once and wrote TO him, saying that she
must see him Immediately on most i'm

Nor did she satisfy herself with that

.cordingly she thought TO prepare her.
self for that alternative. It occurred
to her that it must be possible in some
way to discover enough about Dorrison
and his circumstances to find out whom
he would be likely to blackmail.
She disliked the usual kind of inquiry
agents.
Then she remembered her friend,
Lady Preston. and drove off to see her
in the hope that Indirectly she could
get from her the Information she
needed.
Guardedly she led the talk round to
Mr.. Dorrison and his friends.

quarter of a pint of spirits of wine

bottle briskly in order to mix the in

water, then pour a small quantity of
the polish on a piece of clean, soft, old
flannel, and rub it we'll into the wood,
and polish off at once with a very soft

best thing for this purpose. If only a

important a role for months past are
still in vogue. but in a Simpler form, as
not so much lace n more tucking will
be employed in their makeup. For this

selected if the garment is to prove

ished with a frill of narrow valeneiennes
or cluny lace, while others nave a sue

Waist Suggestions.

The medium-sized waist calls for
three and one-haff yards, the larger
ones demand four vards-often a quar-
ter more. The sleeve arrangement is
responsible for this.
Black dotted net makes a very ser
viceable waist. Finish it with a high
collar, trimmed with a lace ruff1e, and
make a large black lace jabot for the
collar-one rather broad at the collar,
ending in a point below the bust line.
Striped silk waists are finished with
lace yokes and collars, and a silk plas-
tron f%ancifully cut and outlined with
plain silk. The bishop sleeves with cuffs
are found upon such waists.
