FoRTY-THIRD CHAPTER.

r HAD seen enough of London by
this time to know that the dresses
which had been made for me at
home were by no means the mode;
but after l had put on the best fitting
of my simple quakerlike costumes
with string of the family pearls
about my neck and another about my
head, not all the teaching of the good
women of the convent could prevent
me from thinking that my husband
and his friends would have no reason
to be ashamed of me.
We were a party of six in all,
whereof ! was the only woman. and
we occupied a large box on the first
tier near the stage, d position of
prominence which caused me GER
tain embarra ssment when, as hap
pened at one moment of indefinable
misery, the opera glasses of the peo-
pie in the dress circle stalls were
turned in our direction.
! can not say that the theater inn
pressed me. Certainly the building it.
self did not do so. although it was
beautifully decorated in white and
gold, for l had seen the churches of
Rome, and in my eyes they were much
more gorgeous.
Neither did the audience impress
me, for, though | had never before
seen so many we'll dressed people in
one place, l thought too many of the
men, when past middle life, seemed
women. with their plump arms and
bare shoulders, looked as if they
thought of nothing but what to eat
and what to put on,

mination to make my husband forget
the loss of his mistress that ! had no
fear of his familiarities and no mis-
givings about his mistakes.
Al! that was to come later, with a
fresh access of revulsion and disgust.

Thought Her Beautiful.

Nor did the performers impress me,
for, though when the curtain rose,
disclosing the stage full of people,
chiefly girls, in delicate and beautiful
toilets, l thought | had never before
seen so many lovely and happy faces.
After a while, when the faces fell into
repose, I thought tiey were not really
lovely and not really happy; but hard
and strained and painful, as if life had
been very cruel.
And above all, I was not impressed
by the play, for l thought, in my ig-
norance of such productions, that
had never heard anything so frivol-
Gus and foolish, and more than once
found myself wondering whether my
good nuns, if they could have been
present, would not have concluded
that the whole company had taken
leave of their senses.
There was, however, one thing
which did impress me, and that was
the leading actor. 1t was woman,
and when she first came. on the stage
| thought | had never in my life seen
anybody so beautiful. with her lovely
soft round figure her black eyes, her
red lips, her pear!y white teeth, and a
smile so sunny that it had the effect
of making everybody in the audience
smile with her.
But the strange thing was--I could
not account for it-that after a few
minutes ! thought her extremely
ugly and repellant, for her face SEEM

If he had sacrificed anything in or

make it up to him.
resolved that should make it up
to him. I would share in his pleas
ures and enter into his life, l would
show him that a wife was something
other and better than any hired wo
man in the world, and that when she
cast in her lot with her husband it
was for his own sake only and not
for anv fortune he could spend on
her.
Yes, yes, that's what I'll do" l
thought, and l became more solici-
tous of my husbands happiness than
IF I had really and truly loved him.
A woman would smile at the efforts
which I made in my ineXperience to
make my husband forget his cast-off
mistress, and indeed some of them
were very childish.
The first was a ridiculous failure.
My husbands birthday was APP
prOaCnlnS ana L wished 10 IldhS MN
a present. 1t was difficult to know
what to select, for I knew little os
nothing of his tastes or wants; but
walking one day in street off Ok
ford street l saw, in the window of
a shop for the sale of objects of &C.
cIesiastical vertu, among crosses and
cruci1xes and rosaries, a little ivory
:nkstand and paper holder, which was
surmounted by figure of the Virgin.
[ can not for the life of me con-
ceive why I thought this would be
a suitable present for my husband,
except that the face of Our Lady
was so exquisitely feminine that it
seemed impossible that any man in
the world should not love her. But
however that might be, l bought her,
and carrying her home in a cab,
set her on my husbands desk with
out a word, and then stood by, like
the mother of Moses, to watch the
result.

Some Notes on Road Work
Done in Lawrence County
MUCH GOOD WORK HAS BEEN
DONE IN THIS COUNTY THE
.... PAST SEASON..

Five iron bridges have been built in
this county the past season, most Of
them at places that were washed out
during the flood. One was built at the
mouth of Cherokee. making a change
OF road there that insures the road to
be passable at all times of the year.
one was built at the w. V. Roberts
place over Cat creek one at Lee Car
reds, one at the mouth of Fugitts
creek, and one at the mouth of Con-
trary creek.
Important changes that have been
made in the road this year was one on
the Big East Fork, one on Brushy
creek. which puts that road out of the
creek entirely. A road is now under
construction across the mountain from
Blaine town to Brushy creek on a five
per cent grade.
There is now petition in the Judges
office signed by over 200 taxpayers in
the county, calling for an election to
vote 100000 bond issue which com
pels the Judge to do this, as the law
requires so signers. OF course, under
the State Aid Law this means that II
The county puts up 100000 the State

one noticeable thing this year wars
the willingness Of the citizens in this
county to help in the work of roads

teams, plowed up bitches day after de
