Clara came into the room with a
fascinating smile and pretty dimples
playing hide and seek on her rosy
cheeks; she was going to rush into
her husbands arms, when she
stopped in the middle of the floor, re-
PEELED by his attitude. He was lean
ing against the table, with terribly
murderous look upon his face; he
trembled in every limb his hands
were tightly clenched and drops Of
blood were trucking down where his
nails had sunk into the flesh. In his
hands he clutched a letter.

Frank. "Vile deceiver. Pretending
to love me while you were preparing
to fly to your northern lover, who is
preparing house for youl He was
too cowardly to sign his name to the
letter, but will find him and kill
him."
During this TRADE Clara looked
more puzzled than angry, and at the
mention of the word letter her ex-
preston changed, and walking firmly
up to her husband, she looked him in
the eyes and said calmly, Give me
my letter"
He shook his head

shone out of her lustrous eyes and
seemed to burn into his brain.
He slowly unclenched his hand and
handed her the crumpled sheet. She
unfolded 1t and read the following
part of letter:

When Clara had finished reading
/ It, she sank into a chair and burst in
to a fit OF laughter. Frank looked
dazed, and wondered II she was crazy
or II he had been making fool Of
himself; the latter suspicion was
very strong.
AS soon as she could recover hel
breath she gasped: You great bis
