And once more: But maybe when he
told her she few mad and gave him the

And two weeks later she had almost
forgotten that she was carrying II around
in her purse, when she and her sister
started out one morning in the runabout
Miss Allie acted as driver. She knew
all about II, and that was the reason she
ran over a hog In the road. OF course.
the hog rose up. and OF course the vehicle
tipped over on Its side.
1t cannot be said that Of course Mrs.

so the world goes. Let a man get a
stiff knee and everybody throws him
down. never shall see that safety razor
again in this hard world"
When a week had passed and there had
been no call for the ring Miss Allie began
to hope that she might meet the loser
face to face. She was sure he had taken
her train that day. and lived somewhere
along the line, and she found excuses
for going to the city quite often and re-
turning by the same train she had on
that momentous day.
There were other young men who
looked as II they might have lost nickels

"Why, yes, think l have some" He
got them for her. is that all, Is there
anything else can dor"
She shook her head. No, this will
probably put me to sleep"
In her own room again, she crept
into bed with a miserable sense of fail
ure and vague feeling OF dread.
Where was this estrangement leading
them? How would it end? 1t was
nearly dawn when at last she slept.
That morning he went to his Office
early. He did not come into her room
until he was leaving; he was carrying
his hat and coat. He came up to. the
bed and kissed her quietly good-by.
She had wanted to put up her arms
and draw him down beside her J., to tell
him good-by with all her old love and
caresses. But she had not; she had
lain very still, answering quietly that
her head was better. A moment later
she heard the click Of the elevator
down the hall. He had gone.
The day dragged painfully. She felt
strangely alone and desolute, Even the
shops failed to interest her. Once she
started to telephone her husband, and
then in quick fear had hung up the
receiver. What was there to say?
When he came home that evening
later than usual, she felt it was pur-
posely 10 avoid their accustomed chat
before dinner. He went Immediately
into his room to dress.
In half an hour they were seated at
their table in the restaurant. They had
reached the entree when the woman
whose dress had been torn last night
swept in and was seated by the head

ct But did he restore Il? He did not.
As he rose to go out and ask the pres
ident Of the road what IN Texas allied his
old train the announcer's voice was
heard, and fifty people rose at once. 1t
was then that the box came rolling down
along the seat to Miss Allie.
why, It's his box!' she exclaimed as
she picked It up.
Bring It along" replied the sister.
The idea was that they might see the
young man at the train and hand him
the box. but, OF course, they didn't see
him. They looked around for him in the
car in which they took seats, but he was
not among the passengers.
What shall we do with it?" asked Miss
Allie.
That's according to the contents" was
the reply. "Open the box"
Maybe they are troches for hoarse-
ness. He looked hoarse."
And maybe it's something else" said
the elder sister.
They both gasped. On bed of pink
cotton reposed a fve-stone diamond ring

hearted he wasI She remembered how
once he had ridden back three miles to
bring her tiny baby fox, half starved
and with a broken leg, that he had
found lying by the ROAD. How tenderly
he had handled it
To all weak things he was as gentle
as a woman. The tears came to her
eyes as she thought of his quick sym
pathy and unfailing generosity, giving
lavishly of himself or of his wealth
wherever there was need. Every man
on the ranch worshiped him. To a
wonderful degree he had the power Of
inspiring their trust and confidence.
And because she was his wife-the
woman he loved-they idolized her.
And yet, this was the man she was
causing to suffer because he was not
familiar with the French names on a
bill OF fare, and did not have the social
ease and grace of men who had spent
their lives in clubs and drawing-rooms !
Tears of contrition and tenderness
came to her eyes. She would go in to
him now, creep into his arms and tell
him that she loved him; that nothing
else mattered.
She slipped out of bed, threw loose
robe around her and knocked softly at
his door. He was still dressed lying on
the couch, shading his eyes from the
light. He had heard neither her knock
nor her quiet entrance. For a fun
moment she stood there before he saw
her. Then he rose quickly.

a bit the bones were set and the splints
in place.
Miss Allie meant to tell about the ring
on the way home. but her sister required
all her attention. II was not until the
latter was in bed and the runabout had
been brought home that she found oppor-
tunity to say to Mr. Denison: Il hope

gagement.'

the veranda and laughed until he
thought the girl might take ofIense. and

waiter at a table next to theirs. She
saw the color in her husbands face
deepen.
And then--confused and embarrassed
by the sudden appearance of this wom-
an, his hand hit against a slender dish
of tartar sauce near the edge of the
table and sent it splashing to the floor.
In one sgonized glance she saw the
bespattered, ruined gown of the woman
and the furious anger in her face.
Then she bowed her head that she
might not see the wretched mortihca-
ton. of her husband. She heard his
pitiful attempts at an apology and felt
the frozen silence of the woman.
The waiter came Up hurriedly, re-
moved the broken dish and wiped up
the floor.
A scream-shrill, piercing-rang
through the room. Another and still an
other-screams of agony and terror
People started to their feet Through
the swinging doors used by walters

There, in a far corner where he had
caught the girl, was her husband
alone, rolling her on the floor, his coat
around her.
With something like shame in theil
faces for their instructive cowardice
two or three men now rushed to hin
with their coats. There were no rugs
and the strips of carpet between the
tables were fastened to the polished
floor.

She glanced over at the table op-
posite, at the man who had given the
order; and then she met the man who
had given the order; and then she met
her husbands steady gaze. She drop
ped her eyes with deepening color. Had
he read her thoughts? Did he know
that she was comparing this mans care
less ease in ordering a dinner with his
own awkward ignorance?
1t was an infinite relief when the
dinner was over. The strained, con-
scious silence was almost unbearable.
When they left the cafe, a tall, elabo-
rately gowend woman swept out before
them. The elevator was crowded. and
as they entered, in some way her hus-
band stepped on the trailing Aounces
of this woman. There was a sound OF
tearing lace. '
Il beg your pardon, madam-Im
very sorryW he stammered.
The woman flashed him an angry
glance and turned away not deigning
a reply.
The moment it took to reach their
floor seemed like an hour. She fell
that the gaze of every one in the ele-
vator was turned upon them.
In their own roms, still with averted
eyes, she drew a chair to the light and
picked up a magazine. But her glance
remained fixed on one short paragraph

barrass you there-I may in time learn

Then he entered his own room, clos
ing the door after him. II was the
