with unsual care and tried not to
hear his wife's sobs.

- ARLYON had begun TO see what
real life was now as his wife
~ had Joined the League OF
Freedom, a woman's club that
was to agitate full suffrage and her
constant talk along these lines at
home kept him at the office much
later than usual a great many times
so as to avoid them.
The League OF Freedom, he found.
was distinctly an institution to be
reckoned with In the domestic cir
Gle. Alethea, the light hearted. tie
frivolous, waved the standard OF lib
erty and equality to some purpose.
In the days before that fatal expedi-
tion which had left Alethea TO be-
come a prey Of the needs OF divorce
reform ~ had struck Carlyon at
times that perhaps she might be a
little too fond OF pleasure, little
700 empty headed. He was so sin
cerely fond of her that he would
hardly admit the damaging fact to
himself; but now he recalled with
keen regret the memory Of her IN
ceasing gayety, her pranks, her will
fulness, her charming fits OF childish
temper, her still more charming re-
pentence. Oh, if the Aleth of those
days had but survived, Carlyon was
anything but sentimental; but he
thought Of the friyoi US beauty whom
he had exchanged for a woman with
a mission with a tenderness which
hovered on the perilous edge OF SEN
timent; he was in love-sentimen-
tally, hopelessly. helplessly in love
with the memory Of his wife as she
had been only six short months ago.
In a moment Of unusual expansion
Carlyon took his sorrows 20 the sym
pathetic ears Of his younger brother,
Jack F'Teemantle, who has enriched
modern fiction with several novels
published at his own expense
and perpetrates occasional verse IN
the magazines. Jack laughed at the
whole affair
"My dear old chap" be said, when
he had had his laugh. you must put
your foot down"
Carlyon looked douh3ully At the
tip OF an immaculate Oc-t.
Wont work, Jack i shall be
dragged on the platform as q dread
full example Of a wifeUeater."
'It strikes me that Il you tried a
little beating it would be a good
thing"
What" cried Carlyon, electrified.
you're taking It lying down, old
man. Stand up to her-run away

She was sobbing convulsively now
- but somehow her head was on

were around her-rather tightly

poker. He said nothing uatil she

Lady Carlyon lifted her head froHg

and a twinkle of amusement--sholas
with the tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Reggie and there wasn't

Their eyes met again and they

In mastering their merriment for a

floor-and both relapsed in to a con
dition Of helpless mirth.

"It was brought to me In mistake,
