richness enhanced and me1lowed with
age, blend of color that nothing but
years can give.
Fannie Merritt was decided blonde.
Her decision had been made more
than ten years before. 1t was a de-
cision that, once made, must be
abided by, and the woman had been
living up to it ever since. Her gown
was the last word of sartorial elegance
. and style. Daringly decollette it chung
to her long, svelte figure with loving
emphasis, and trailed round her eX-
quisitely dressed feet. Her hair did
credit to the hairdresser's long and pa
tient efforts, and long, bizarre diamond
pendants flashed and sparkled from
her ears. If ever a woman had become
a slave to her own personal pleasure
and dress, that woman was Fannie
Merritt. Too self-centered and selfish
ever to crave motherhood, she lavished
a kind of affection on a watery-eyed
little poodle, which repaid her with
lap-dog gratitude.
Tonight she was restless and i'll at
ease. Like Katherine, her mind was
full of one thought-Slade, Slade, Slade
but thoughts that took different d.
rection. She was sick of his name,
sick of hearing of his money, sick of
the talk of his power and of hearing
him named as "the man of the hour"
He was winning the very honors she
had coveted for her husband, and TAX
ing them right out from beneath his
very eyes and nose. There didn't seem
to be a doubt of Slade becoming gov
ernor, the very position for which her
husband had been striving for the past
six terms Slade with his millions
needed the governorship no more than
a pampered child needs a new toy
while to her husband success or fail
ure this time meant either the retriev-
ing of his fortunes or his utter ruin.
The abstraction of the two women
was broken by the sudden entrance
of Hayes.
"Whew!" he whistled. They're hav-
ing a time of it in there. Good eve
ming, Mrs. Merritt, your husband is
certainly making it warm for Mr..
Slade."
Indeed" laughed Mrs. Merritt, graf
flied for the moment
Dear, dear!" she exclaimed as she
watched Hayes gazing wistfully at
Katherine and looking very handsome
and manly in his well-made evening
clothes. Its quite like old times to
see you together" Unhappy herself,
it gave her a certain pleasure to make
other people unhappy. The jealousy
she had long felt for the younger and
more beautiful woman found express
sion now in her purring tones, as, with
amiable cruelty, she reminded them
of their earlier Intimacy. She took
delight in making Bob writhe and
Katherine whiten as she recalled their
passionate young love when only the
senator's stern interference had kept .
them from wedding.

self. She looked around the great
empty room. 1t suddenly struck her
that she lad never really been happy

CHAPTER V.

Mary Slade sat down to the break
fast table with certain sense of be-
wilderment. 1t was the same this
morning as it had been each success
sive morning since Dams departure.
She could not bring herself to the real
izatiOn Of the fact that Dan had not
come hOme-apparently did not intend
to come home.
She had waited up the night he had
gone to the club, just as she had
waited up every night of their married
life, no matter where her husband
was or how late he might be coming
home AS the night hours heightened
into day she was forced to the con-
clusiOn that Dan meant to stay away
for the night. That he wouldn't be
home at all through the day never &C.
CURED to her. She reasoned that a
nights sleep would clear his mind
and that he would have recovered
from his "tantrum" the next day. But
Dan didn't run in" that day nor the
next The days had become weeks,
yet neither by telephone nor letter had
he sent as much as a word.
Finally Mary had mustered u her
courage and telephoned his club y
took courage for Mary to use the tele-
phone on any occasion. She was afraid
of the sound Of her own voice the mo-
ment she began to talk into the trans
mitter. This time she feared Dams
Idispleasure and his possible harsh
ness. Mr. Slade was out, had left no
message, they did not know when he
would return, was the disappointing
result as she hung the receiver on the
hook
This morning, as the maid served
her breakfast, she resolved to try
again. The situation was getting un
'bearable 1t was bad enough to live
in the great house and be surrounded
by servants with Dan there Without
him she felt like a prisoner of state
and looked on the servants as SO many
callers.
Leaving her breakfast practically
nntasted, Mary again ventured to the
Telephone. With faltering voice she
repeated the number. "One-three-nine-
-four" with beating heart she inquired
ffor M. Slade;" with sinking courage
she received the answer that Mr.. Slade
had gone out, leaving no message.
Again and again during the day she
repeated the call, emily to receive a
similar reply. The possibility of her
husband having left such a message
no be delivered to her, whether he was
there or not never occurred to the
truthful. eimple-minded little woman.
but Slade did not want to be reached
boy her, and if an untruth, more or
1ess, were necessary, the telephone
boy was easily bribed.
Meanwhile Slade was eagerly look
ing forward to his new life. Never q
lman to waver he did not once look
hack to the wife he had so cOOlly de-
serted He was being dined and ban
loueted and feted, being everywhere
