guessed how unhappy she was. She
knew that by her own indiscretion she
was in danger of losing all she had
won, her position in society. her place
in the affections of her husband,
everything.
When she married Mr. Jeffries 1t
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him, but, being ambitious,
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He was rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned The fact that
she was already engaged to a man for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before. He was then a college boy,
tall, handsome, clever. She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly of their youthful
infatuation. Underwood was without
fortune, his future uncertain. While
in this uncertain state of mind she
met Mr.. Jeffries, then a widower, at
ANSCPtAOhs was dllTdCI
ed to her and being a business man
he did things quickly. He proposed
and was accepted. all in the brief
time of-five minutes. Robert Under
wood and the romance of her girlhood
were sacrificed without question when
it came to reaching a prompt decision.
She wrote Underwood a brief letter
of farewell, telling him that the action
she had taken was really for the best
interests of them both. Underwood
made no reply and for months did not
attempt to go near her. Then he met
her in public. There was a reconcilia-
ton. He exerted the old spell-on the
married woman Cold and Indifferent
to her husband. Alicia found it anus
ing to have her old lover paying her
court and the danger of discovery only

pocketed the money. forgetting To &C
count to the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti-
tuition or settlement and Underwood,
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 a com
mon crook. She congratulated her.
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror of
1t! Yet the next instant she was
filled with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him to become so intimate
that it was difficult to break of with
him all at once She realized that
with a man of that character the in
evitable must come. There would be
disgraceful scandal. She would be
mixed up in it, her husbands eyes
would be opened to her folly, it might
ruin her entire life. She must end it
now-once for all. She had already
given him to understand that their
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de-
sist from trapping her friends into his
many schemes She had written him
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible for
the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JEFF
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave sigh
and was drawing on her long kid
gloves before the glass, when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered her
mistress a note. Alicia knew the
handwriting only too well. She tore
the letter open and read:
Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your let
ter telling me that my presence at your
house tonight would be dstasteful to
you. AS you can imagine, it was a great
shock. Don't you understand the harm
this will do me? Everybody will notice
my absence. They will jump to the con-
clusion that there has been a rupture.

gave the intrigue additional zest and
charm. She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty to Mr.. Jeffries, but
she was foolish enough to encourage
a dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough to be able to
call a halt whenever she would be so
disposed, but as is often the case she
overestimated her powers. The in
timacy grew. Underwood became
holder, claiming and obtaining special
privileges. He soon realized that he
had the upper hand and he traded on
it. Under her patronage he was in
vited everywhere. He practically lived
on her friends. He borrowed their
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 a sort of social highwayman
He had no legitimate source of in
come. but he took a suite OF apart
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 magnif-
cence OF their furnishings and the art
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-
ton with several firms and soon his
rooms became a veritable bazaar for
art curios Of all kinds. Mrs. Jetfries'
friends paid exorbitant prices for

had ended It now. before II was too
late. There might have been a scan
dal, and that she must avoid at any
cost. Mr.. Jeffries. she felt certain,
would not tolerate a scandal of any
kind.
All at once she felt something
brush her cheek. She turned quickly.
1t was her husband who had entered
the room quietly.

ishly; "how you frightened mel You
shouldn't startle me like that"
A tall, MISUNDERSTANDING man

"Oh, no-nothing like that" she
said. hastily.
He looked at her closely and she
averted her eyes. Mr.. Jeffries often
wondered if he had made a mistake.
He felt that this woman to whom he
had given his name did not love him,
but his vanity as much as his pride
prevented him from acknowledging
it, even to himself After all, what
did he care? She was a companion.

smiled the banker. Then he went on:
BY the by, l met Brewster at the
club tonight. He promised to drop

Now it was Alicia's turn to smile.

of having such distinguished lawyer
as Judge Brewster on their calling

For the moment she forgot her worry

beaming. Every one is talking about
him since his brilliant speech for the
defense in that murder case"
The banker noted his wifes beau
tiful hair and the white transparency
of her skin. His gaze fingered on the
graceful lines of her neck and bosom,
glittering with precious stones. An
exquisite aroma exuding from her per

eyes grew more ardent and, passing
his arm affectionately around her
slender waist, he asked:

It's very nice. Don't you see I'm

most impatiently and drawing herself
away.
Before Mr.. Jeffries had time to re-

FALL PRACTICE INSTITUTED.
Albert Sidney and Harry Lee Clubs
Crews Start Work.

Lexington. Va, Oct. S.-Following the
system adopted by most of the Northern
colleges. the Albert Sidney and Harry
Lee Boat Clubs of Washington and Lee
have instituted fall practice for the crews.
The clubs have elected officers and crew
committees for 1923. and training has
been in progress for a week. About
twenty-five men have reported to each
club and all the available shells are be
ing used every afternoon in putting the
candidates through elementary rowing
practice.
W. c. Raftery has been chosen as
coach for the Albert Sidney crew. He is
well fit for the work, having been the
star coNswain for the Springfield. Mass,
Boat Club in the National Regatta sew
eral years ago.
Under the old system practice was de-
ferred until spring. but 1t has been found
that this did not give the crews time to
reach the highest point of development.
and for this reason the system of fall
training has been adopted.
Each crew has the same number of old
men back in college. and with the PROM
Using new material 1t is felt that both
clubs will be able to put out first-class
crews.

held about the first of November, are now

Mike Thomp<on's Team Works
Hard for Georgetown Game.

than Georgetown and perhaps having
less prestige in football, Mount ST
Mary's battled for three hours on Echo
Field this afternoon, doing everything
possible to put up a strong fight Satur-
day No one knows more than Coach
Thompson the strength Of Georgetown,
and he has put it right out from the
shoulder in his talk to the squad that
the Blue and Gray has a strong aggre-
cation.
The offense here looks pretty good, but
it is a matter of defense that is worry
ing Thompson. His line is light, com
paratively speaking. against the beef
that the Capital City boys are supposed
to have. As is We'll known. the new
rules favor such material, and the only
hope the locals have is in speed and
open style OF play.
To-day the lineup had not been en-
tirely settled upon. as so many men had
been used it was hard to say what was
really the first squad The back field,
however. will no doubt b.: Capt. Flan-
merry at full back. McManus at quarter,
