Sundered Bonds.

Dinner, on the rare occasions when
the Truths dined together and alone,
was marked by a careful formality
that was but thin disguise for their
mutual dislike. At no other time,
save by hastily cured accident, were
they apt to confront each other. The
quarrel of the night of their first in
vitation to Henley's house had never
been healed. Each had gone sep
arate way. ignoring as far as possible
the others existence.
With Unity the dislike had been gen.
uine. She believed that when her
easy husband had so suddenly and
definitely put an end to her suprem-
acy she had been robbed of a right
that she, a woman and therefore a
superior finer being. should enjoy.
Fear, of him and of what the man she
now perceived him to be might do if
unduly provoked, kept dislike alive
and hot.
With him ii had been rather con-
