now, you are turning back two years
to when you were first married. why
not wipe out the past, start right
where you started once and make life
over again? Mrs Douglas, you are
foolish for listening to the advice OF
your mother. There is nothing wrong
with your husband, except that he is
working his life out for you. Mr..
Douglas, you are an idiot for listening
to your so-called friends. Should what
you planned have come to pass, they
would have been the first to condemn

when she had passed, l hurriedly

the door of the stateroom, start back
down the aisle and then jump back

Every WE'LL answered Mrs. Douglas
in a matter of fact way. Then came
the voice of the husband. I could feel
pique in it. He felt that in some way
he had Numbered and that the best way
to do would be to stir up some kind of
a quarrel that he might leave the
train. And Mrs. Douglas, in the light
of the fact that she was there to find
evidence against her husband. felt the
same way. Yet neither of them knew
exactly what to TO- If the husband

that the evidence she sought was lost.

Sick-Room Light.

If there are electric lights in the
sick room they will generally be
found too brilliant, hurting the eyes
of the patient, and not every sick room
has the electric lights that can be
turned up or down. Make a little
green silk bag and fasten it over the
incandescent bulb and it will give a
good but subdued and harmless light.
