"On May 14th." ran the record;
you dressed and went out and were
gone very nearly IN hour. You have
never yet explained to me what you
went out for. Are you ready to do -

She vas ready enough. but she
didn't explain. She had ordered meat
from the butcher: . head Of cabbage
from TIE grocer: . spool Of black
thread from . notion store. and . pair
Of shoestrings from . shoe store.
The husband went on until he had
read - different charges. and then he
glared at her for . long minute. and
put the fatal book away and resumed

piled to one single charge. There
was no dispute-no quarreling. He
had shown up her deceit and duplic.
tty. and her silence proved her guilt.
Just what to do the husband didn't
know. He must think 1t over. He
was doing that the next day at his
place Of business when an anonymous
note was placed IN his hands that
read:
your wife h at the Three-Mile
Road House with a man."
Stephen Knight did not faint away.
He did not curse and tear his hair.
He did not totter to the door like an
old man. He had been looking for
this for months. and had planned his
course. He simply slipped . revolver
into his pocket and walked out to the
curb and told q chauffeur where he
wanted to 90. He didn't even add
that he was in q devil Of a hurry. nor
inquire about the coroner and an nm
dertaker. though he knew that both
would be needed. He would shoot
both parties dead!
Assembled at the Three-Mile Road
House were forty persons that had
driven out ahead Of him. The list In
cluded his wife's grandfather. grand
mother. two uncles. two aunts, four
cousins. a brother. . sister. the min
lister that had married her and Ste
phen. and the unsuccessful suitora
for her hand. The others had been
her girl friends. They were sitting
and waiting. Stephen bounded into
the room with pistol In hand. All
looked at him. but no one spoke fol
a long minute. Then the minister
rose up and said:
MY friends, we are gathered herr
on this solemn occasion to listen to
the charges preferred against his wife
by Stephen Knight. I will read them

And the good man. with all due en-

her life in Martinique, had its origin in scandal. An aunt of Josephine be- came the mistress og M. de Beauhar- naiS while the later was governor of Martinique, and later went with him to Paris. She gained so great an in- duence over her lover that he agreed to her proposal that his son, A1exan- der, marry one of her nieces. The choice fell on the second daughter of M. de la Pagerie, but she died before the proposal reached Martinique, and Josephine was sent as a substitute.
 The first member of the British Par Eament to occupy a seat without talk ing the oath was Charles Bradlaugh, the famous atheist, who, after long opposition, was admitted thirty-three years ago today. Bradlaugh was elect ed from Northampton, but was re- fused his seat because his disbelief in God prevented him from taking the usual oath. His affirmation was re- fused, and he was denied admission to the House. He was repeatedly re- elected, and MT. Labouchere and oth- CTS recommended that he be permitted to affirm. A motion to this effect was negatfved by the House. As Brad laugh refused to withdraw, he was or dered arrested and imprisoned in the

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

Beauharnais is name that lives in history only because of the lustre re- Aected upon 1t by Josephine de Ia Pa- gerie, Vicomtese de Beauharuais, Elm press of France. Honesty was not the eminent trait of the men of the family, nor virtue of the women, but in these respects they were no worse than most of the French noble families of the pre-reyoIut1onary era. The reputation of the family, in the matter of the chastity of it's feminine members, gained nothing from the rie Anne F'rancotse Mouchard a Beau harnais. Today is the centenary of the death of this remarkable woman, famed as a friend of the Empress Jo- sephine, as a poet and novelist, and as one of the most wanton of the fashionable demimonde of the first empire.
 When she passed away hundred years ago today, Fanny de Bea thar nats, as she was known in literary circles, had already lapsed into ob- scurity and poverty. The volumes of verse, the novel, and the several com eoies of which she was the author, died with her, and are unknown to the readers of today. It has been charged, and practically proved, that her claim to authorship was spurious, and that the works published under her name were written by the numer- ous poets and novelists who, at one time CT another, were her lovers. The wide diversity in style and treatment would seem to bear out this allega- tion-else Fanny de Beauharnais is entitled to rank as the most versatile of writers.
 Born in Paris in 17as, she was still a mere slip of girl when she mar ried Count Beauharnais. The latter was the head of the family and the elder brother of that M. de Beauhar- nais who, in 1757, went to Martinique as governor. Fanny de Beauharnais soon tired of her husband. Each ac- cused the other of marital in1delity. and both were probably right. Fan n.y. retired into a nunnery, where she remained many years, away from the world and it's temptations. When the revolution famed over France, "Fan- n.y. de Beauharnais emerged from her retreat, and began to lead a free life in Paris. She met Josephine, the wife of her. husbands nephew, and the two became bosom companions. Joseph ines liaison with Baras was encour- aged by Fanny and she also urged and promoted the alliance between Josephine and Napoleon. Later, when the Corsican was away at the wars, 1t was, in all probability, the influence and example of Fanny de Beauhar- nais which led Josephine to those Iapses from virtue which Napoleon never wholly forgave.
 Inmoral-or perhaps unnOral-as she was, Fanny re Beauharnais was of a kindly and benevolent disposition, as well as witty, charming and gay. She was long a favorite with the poets and artists of Paris, and retained her power to charm to an advanced age. With the divorce Of Josephine, Fan n.y. fell into obscurity, and died in poverty.
