made no reoly and for months did not

wondered if he had made a mistake.

his arm affectionately around her

the letter open and read:

door when her mistress suddenly re-

Taking from her dainty escritoire

wrote hurriedly as follows:

Quickly folding the note, she
crushed it into an envelope. sealed it,

money and cheated them at cards.
His real character was soon known to
all, but no one dared expose him for
fear of offending the influential Mrs.
Jeffries. Realizing this. Underwood
continued his depredations until he
became sort of social highwayman.

ments at the expensive Astruria and
on credit furnished them so gorgeous
ly that they became the talk of the
town. The magazines and newspa-
pers devoted columns to the magnifi-

treasures they contained. Art deal
ers all over the country offered him
liberal commissions if he would dis
pose of expensive objets dart to his
friends. He entered in business rela-

rooms became a yeritable bazaar for
art curios of all kinds. Mrs. Jeffries'
friends paid eXorbitant prices for
some of the stuff and Underwood
pocketed the money, forgetting to &C

brought The dealers demanded resti-

dreading exposure, had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency in order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter TO settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been
ashamed TO borrow from Mrs. Jeffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood. She had
long since become disguised with him.
The mans real character was now
plainly revealed to her. He was an
adventurer. little better than COM
mon crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror of
it, Yet the next instant she was
filled with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him tn become so intimate
that it was difficult to break of with
him all at once. She realized that

The more she thought of all he had
done, the angrier she became Her
eyes flashed and her bosom heaved
with Indignation. She wondered
what her husband, the soul of honor,
would say if he suspected that she
had permitted d man of Underwood's
character to use his home for his dis
honest practices. She was glad she
had ended it now, before it was too
late. There might have been a scan

would not tolerate a scandal of any
