busy all the time was there. l don't
know how many eggs the students got,
but it was a busy bunch of hens. Just

student say to another: Gee, 1 never

was no question about the freshness

He drew himself up in his chair and
said in a loud, astonished voice:

saw here last night was your wife?"

gestion Of questioning:
"She-er-she died?"
NO." said the other, "she did not
die. l lost her in a way that think
was more painful than death. She left
me, voluntarily. of her own free will"
"Oh, of course" said the young man
hastily. 81 remember perfectly, one
day by the sitting-room fire. l remem-
Der it all as clearly as possible now"
THAT was the time-the only time
mentioned the subject to you. On
another occasion spoke to that lovely
and agreeable young lady, Miss Can
non, on the matter, and told her more
fully of my domestic sorrows. But
to you l made but that one allus!on.
May l now, more at length, tell you
of the misfortunes-I may say trag-
edy-of my married life?"
Dominick, mystifed, nodded his
head. He could not imagine why Bu-
ford should come to him at this par
ticular moment and in this particular
ly theatrical manner with the history
of his domestic troubles. But he was
undeniably interested, and feeling him
self more than ever like a character
in play, said:
go on, tell me anything you like.
And if in any way can be Of use
to you, I'll be only too happy to do 1t"
Looking at the carpet, a heat Of in
ward excitement showing through the
professional pomposity of his manner,
Buford began slowly and solemnly:
"I'l go back to seven years ago,
when l was in Chicago. Previous to
that, Mr.. Ryan, will tell you in conf
dence l had been a preacher, Meth
odist, Of good reputation, though,
am fain to confess, of small standing
in the church. l left that esteemed
body as l felt there were certain ten
cts Of the faith 1 could not hold to.
l am nothing if not honest, and I was
too honest to preach doctrines with
all of which l could not agree. l left
the church as a pastor though l have
never deserted it as a disciple, and
have striven to live up to it's stand
ards"
He paused, and Dominick, feeling
that he spoke sincerely, said:
THAT was the only thing to do"
$50 it seemed to me. l left the
town where l was living and moved
to Chicago where. through the influ-
ences of friend, I obtained a posi-
ton in school Of acting and elocu-
ton. I instructed the pupils in voice
production. You may have noticed
that have an unusually deep and res
onant voice. Through that, obtained
this work and received the stipend of
thirty-five dollars week. 1t was fair
ly good pay, the hours were not too
long, there was no demand made of
sacrifice of conscience, and l confess
that l felt much freer and more con-
tented than l had in the church.
ut was at this stage of my career
that I met the lady who became my
wife. We lived at the same boarding
house-Mrs. Heeney's, a most ele-
CANT, well-kept place, and Mrs. Heeney

southern families. 1t was at her table

stairway and grew in volume as she
slowly ascended. The two men rose
to their feet.
Come in the den for a moment,
Berny," Dominick called. There's a
gentleman here who wants to see
you"
The rustic advanced up the hall,
and the portiere was drawn back.
Bernice, brilliantly dressed, mauve
orchid pinned on her bosom, stood In
the aperture, smiling.
Buford's back was against the
light, and, for the first moment she
only saw him as a tall masculine out
line and her smile was frank and
natural. But he saw her plain as a
picture and before Dominick could
frame the words of introduction, start
ed forward, crying:
"Bernice Iverson!"
She drew back as II struck and
made movement to drag the portiere
over her. Her face went white to the
lips, the patches of rouge standing
out on her cheeks like rose-leaves
pasted on the sickly skin.
"Who-who's that?" she stammer
ed, turning wild eye on Dominick.
"Mr Ryan," the actor cried, beside
himself with excitement, "this is my
wife! This is the woman I've been
talking Of! Bernice, don't you know
me? Junius Carter?"
Hes crazy" she faltered, her lips
so loose and tremulous they could
hardly form the words. 81 never saw
him before. 1 don't know what he's
talking about. Who's Junius Carter?"
"This is my wife, Mr.. Buford," said
Dominick, who had been staring from
one to the other in blank astonish-
ment. We've been married nearly
three years. l don't understand"

slouchy about her. Ask her to go to
the theater and there wouldn't be a
woman in the house who could beat
her for looks and style. Besides that,

You can easily get rid of cut worms
around sweet peas by pouring strong
soap suds about the roots and picking
up the worms which will come scram-

the worms in the suds and it will kill
them. Do this half a dozen mornings
in succession, and you will be rid OF

OF a favorite child comrade Mr..
Clemens related that they once con-
versed together gravely considering
the little girls plans for rearing her
future children, of whom there were
to be two-a boy and a girl. The
girl, naturally enough, was to be
named after her mother. Asked what
would be the boys name, the child
answered, "a reproachful look In her

to flirt with legislators, which she
