named Koenit and the scene small,
fifth rate cafe in a mean street In
Paris.
Koenit was a member of gang OF
Apaches, the murderous Partisan hoo
ligans. Another member of the gang,
Colney, had been denounced to the po-
lice by a woman named Sarah Baron

ESTABLISHED 1875

The church was unusually well hlled,
and Mrs. Wrest's pew was the only
one where there were vacant sittings.
The ushers understood that when there
ceased to be room elsewhere strangers
might be shown to places beside her,
and so now, when a man entered the
vestibule very late, he was taken at
once to Mrs. Wrest's pew.
He was tall man, with a pointed
blond beard and blond hair just slight
Iy gray, distinguished looking and
handsome. Mrs. Wrest moved little
and lifted her eyes. Then her face
went suddenly white. and she crumpled
forward in dead faint
The stranger lifted her up and with
out noticing any ones interference bore
her into the vestibule. Mrs. Rowland
and few others rose instantly and
followed after the twain.
'Trhis is my wife," the stranger ex-
planned tersely. as there anything
you can do for herr
She opened her eyes and looked
straight into those Of her husband,
who was holding her as If he would
never let go again.
"Gordonw she said and tainted away
again.
Next day Mrs. Wrest had ceased to
be a mystery, for Mrs. Rowland told
all she knew, and she knew great
deal. She had heard the whole story
from Editha, while her husband sat
by ready to affirm every word
Gordon Wrest was the heir Of an
old uncle who had once been In love
with Editha's mother. Not feeling
able In justice to provide for Editha
as he wished, he left his money to
Gordon, only on the condition that he
marry her. So Gordon carried out the
old mans wishes and became possessed
both of Editha and the fortune.
All went well till Editha found out
the condition of the win. and Of
course she Immediately thought that
Gordon had married her for the
moneys sake alone. She was young
and foolish and passionate. and with
question or reason with herself she
gathered up what was hers and 6ed.
She thought she would seek out some
little place, make herself a home and
settle down to life Of seclusion and
good deeds.
Her husband had found her by the
merest chance. 81 have spent three
years Of my life looking for you," he
said when a wreck delayed me here
for few hours and decided to go

sequences. 1t seems as If kindly
fate must have led me to your very
side Editha, If our long separation
has accomplished nothing more it
must at least prove to you that love
you"
"And the future" Mrs. Wrest said.
looking up into his face with such a
smile as her face had never before
been seen to wear, "must prove that
love you"
