claims that there is no politics

opposes the domination of the

The girls piquante face froze little. She stood
very erect, one foot on the fender, looking down
at the speaker.

VIRGINIA fdgetted with an ornament on the
mantepiece. Then her hand with trembling
movement swept it down to the tiles beneath.
Eleanor started.
"How unfortunate Jim priced those little Dres-

/ should like to take everything belonging to
Jim and myself and pile them on bonfire. Per
haps if put myself there too it would be good
thing for all concerned"
Eleanor maintained an amazed silence. She
said nothing when Virginia stopped to pick up the
broken fragments of the candlestick.
"See here's a quite unharmed do be-
eve / could patch the whole thing up until Jim
would never know it had been damaged. No, look,

She gathered the bits of china into her lap, sit
ting on the hearthrug.
Then she looked from them to Eleanor The
latter could not fathom the expression in the soft
brown eyes She turned her own away making a
great pretence of matching beads in the
same color
"Eeanor"-an the anger had died out-"ten me.
Did Jim love anyone else when he forced into
marrying me? Did it spoil his life?"
Eleanor frowned, but she did not glance up.

ward turn of the head.
The two years that had worked wonders in Vir-
gnia had added wrinkles to the other. Eleanor
looked all her thrty-fve years and more. She
knew it bitterly and the fact added venom to her
treatment OF her cousins wife.
sIn o you think Jim would recognize me if he met
- in the street," Virginia persisted with all
the egotism of youth. I'D know him anywhere, even
at the other end of creation-with his lean brown
face and stern eyes. Did the other woman ever
see them soften for her. 1 wonder? They could
wonderfully, amazingly. if he really cared"
She looked in the glass again, pushing her
bronze hair back from her forehead She saw
again the small, shy, prm little girl Jim had left
behind him.
where is she now, Eleanor"
"She? Whom?" Eleanor spoke Grossly. why
do you harp so persistently in that strain? is 1t
a novelty, pray for to have loved one No
man and married another? 1t seems to me the
majority do it,"
But Jm-Jim would not change. You've only
to look at him to know it,"
She smothered a sigh and returned to the
charge, realizing with touch of malice that her
persistency annoyed the other
"You did not answer my question, Eleanor
where does she liver"
'I do not think 1t is quite fair to give away Jm's
condolences If he had wanted you to know more
of her he would have told you himself"
Virginia flushed a little.
HE had time-let us put it down to that
son; doubt if he had remained in England he
would have poured his into my sympathetic
ear. / feel convinced from your tragic expression
that she is either married dead"
At that moment the door opened to admit a tall
sodierly man in evening dress, evidently on very
good terms with himself and the household.
Surely it cannot be late" exclaimed Virginia
with a penitent glance at the clock. yes, posi-

"And which of lfe's problems you discuss

journey. But apparently the idea had not occurred
to him. She remembered with a swift stab OF
memory that he had turned to Eleanor, the cousin
who had known him all her life and had kissed
her cheek. commencing Virginia to her care.
VIRGINIA was his WIFE but she had only known
him for MONTH strangely unhappy, yet happy
month of mingled sorrow and joy. month that
seemed like dream on looking back, a dream
dominated by Jim's dear stern face and his ten
derness for her father. She herself at the
bedside in a white frock, hastily donned at the
dying mans request her hand in Jims Her lips
and his mechanically took the vows of the beauti-
full marriage service, and Jim's impassive face
never stirred a muscle But when it he
stayed with the dying man and she went away,
leaving them to use up the few remaining hours
in business interview.
Then came the black days before the funeral
and Jm's hurried departure to take up the post
abroad that waited for him. That was two years
ago. period, pleasant enough in it's way The
means left by her father were good, Jims allow
made them considerably larger. She had all
her heart could desire-but Jim.
She and Eleanor were nearer for those two
years intercourse, indeed time drifted by they
grew even less tolerant Of one another Virginia
realized by degrees that all Eleanor's speeches
were barbed-that each little alluson to Jim in
ficted a stab.
Fifty times in the last year the wife who was
wife determined to write to Jim offering to join
him. But he made move in the matter and
each time Of Eleanors little sneers went home
and killed the impulse
She had been so young, so inexperienced in the
ways of men, and she thought that he married her
because he loved her, though on looking back
from wider standpoint she realized the mmens-
ity of her folly. She broke suddenly into a laugh
Eleanor glanced up from her eternal bead work
you seem amused. Anything worth hearing?"
'I was laughing at myself" said Virginia biting
her lips to hide their quivering And then she
laughed again.
Eleanor leaned forward, surveying her with
marked disapproval.
HAS anything happened to put you out Virs
ginia? Your face is so flushed and your eyes look
unnaturally bright | hope you are not getting in
huenza, just when"
Virginia got up, with little impatient swish of
slken skirts.
1T would be awkward just now, wouldn't it? So

because 1 want to know.
Did he?"
Eleanor nodded.
There was someone he had
known and loved for years.
He was not bound in any way;
Jim was not the man to act
dishonorably towards one wo;
man in order to marry an
other-especially-"
Especially one he did not
lover" Virginia finished the
sentence with a hard little
laugh. that sounds as If his
morality would not have run
very deep if he had"
She hummed a little tune
under her breath, lingering the
broken china in her lap.
Tell me, was she pretty?
Fair or dark, Eleanor, my hat
ed rival? Blue eyes or brown,
hazel or grey? You don't re-
member? But you must. Did
she dress well? AS well as
do?"
With one of her swift move
ments she sprang to her feet,
sending the contents of her
lap Gathering on the tiles OF
the hearth again. Then she
glanced at herself in the oval,
silver-framed mirror, turning
her pretty head to and fro to
gain the effect of her beauty.
And the older woman glanc-
ing at her caught her breath,
knowing she was lovely. From
the uniformed. shy little pro-
vincial of two years ago, Vir-
ginia was metamorphosed in.
to a woman of the worm,
armed at all points with
charm, a woman whom few
could pass by without a back
