she could marry dad. He felt very
sore over it at the time. but after
her marriage he was seemingly as
lrlehoIy with her as ever-to serve
his W ends, of course. 1t is simply
wonderful what influence he has with
her, He exercises over her the same
fascination that he did over me at
college. He has sort of hypnotized
her. don't think it's a case of love
or anything like that, but he simply
holds her under his thumb and gets
her TO do anything he wants. She
invites him to her house, introduces
him right n left, got people to take
MIN up. Everybody laughs about it in
society. Underwood is known as Mrs.
W Jefries' pet. Such a thing
soon gets talked about. That is the
secret of his successful career in New
YORK. As far as 1 know, she's as
much infatuated with him as ever"
A look of surprise came into An
mes lace. To this young woman,
whose one idea of matrimony was
steadiast loyalty to the man whose
LIE she shared and whose name she
bore. there was something repellent

way.
Doesn't your father object?" she
asked.
"Pshawi' laughed Howard. He
doesn't see what's going on under his
very nose. He's too proud a man, too
sure Of his W good judgment, to be-
heve for a moment that the woman
to whom he gave his name would be
guilty of the slightest indiscretion of
that kind"
Annie was silent for a minute. Then
she said:

that it is a good thing. I'll offer him
a good rate of interest, n he might
be very glad to let me have it. Any

Annie said nothing. She did not
entirely approve this idea of her hus-
band trying to borrow money of a
man in whom his stepmother was so
much interested. On the other hand
starvation stared them in the face

Well. do as you like, dear" she
said. When will you go to him?"
The best time to catch him would
be in the evening" replied Howard.
We'll, then, go tonight" she sug-
gested.
Howard shook his head.
No, not tonight. | don't think I

Annie rose and began to remove the
dishes from the table. Howard nom
c~halantly lighted another cigarette
