Rounding a curve in the tortuous
driveway, they met a landau. a beau

Who was she?"
The older? That was Mrs. Thomas

Yes? But | meant the other"
That" he answered in a dry con-
strained voice. was Mrs. Mark Truitt."
After a while: All" she breathed.
She is lovely"
That makes it unanimous" he said
shortly.
1t had ceased to be the pleasantest
time he had had in years. A heavy
cold cloud had settled upon their init
macy. Why dream of the possibility
OF a mighty primitive passion. 1t was
not possible. But II was a char
acteristic OF the man to want most
the things farthest away. the things
forbidden.
We've gone far enough" she said.
True words. however she meant them,
And 1t is getting too cold for you.
Let US turn back"
He made no protest.
He swung the team around and
drove toward the hospital: at a reck-
less pace, that he might not have to
talk. He had no wish for common
place speech with her. From other
speech the habit of self-repression
| saved him.
But not wholly. For as they were
nearing the hospital. he drew the
horses down to a soberer gait.
When he asked, will you drive
with me again."
Not again"
He had known. ever before she
spoke. what her answer would be.
And he knew-so had she given it
that 1t was ~irrevocable.
Il wonder why you came today
I'd been thinking of you. And
Was-curious. To see what sort of
man you had become"
They swung into he hospital
grounds and up to the entrance. Over
her protest he des :ended to help her
to the ground. He took a queer pleas
ure in the pain the needless little
service gave him.
He sought her eyes. Was It only
curiosity, kazia?"
Her answer was not In words.
Slowly she mounted the stairs to the
doorway, and turning, looked steadily
down upon him. Her face was white,
but her eyes were lustrous-and I'm.
speakably sad.
"Kazia-"
"Good-by."
He had had the answer he wanted
But he received It with a heart as
heavy as lead. He wanted her as he
had desired nothing since life began
And he could only stand and, help
less, see her leave him.

Sundered Bonds.

Dinner. on the rare occasions when
the TRUTHS dined together and alone,
was marked by a careful formality
that was but a thin disguise for their
mutual dislike. At no other time,
ave 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 a sep
arate way, ignoring as far as possible
the others existence.
With Unity the dislike had beer 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 and therefore a
superior finer being, should enjoy.
Fear, of him and Of what the man she
now perceived him to be might do II
unduly provoked, kept dislike alive
and hot.
With him II had been rather con-
tempt for her airs and vanities, for
the uselessness to which, even in q
woman, he could not become recon-
ciled. But on this night it was both
contempt and a rising bitter resent
ment that heightened the emotional
tumult.
She chose this hour to lay aside the
cold, somewhat theatric hauteur II
was her ont to assume before him.
In its stead she donaed an air of tri-
umph. of smiling aggressiveness that
he was quick to connect with their
meeting in the park. She criticized
the knot Of his necktie. Several times
she contradicted him wantonly.
Finally he rose abruptly and left the
room.
Unity, too, rose and, following, over
took him in the firelit drawing room.

Bond Though FREQ.

SSbS '"OoAu ''So.
The Truitt divorce sensation had
reached and passed its height.
One day. when the decree was
scarcely two weeks old, a man alighted
from IN incoming express train. He
did not look like a rou or the villain
Of a famous scandal; he himself did
not know that he had been heralded
in such a role. His doctor would hardly
have recognized him. He was still
thin and the cane had not been dis
carded, but he was clear-eyed and
healthily bronzed and the limp was
far less noticeable than at any time
since the accident.
Six months he had spent in the
northern wilderness. living in the open,
sleeping under the stars, with no COM
pany but his own thoughts and a taci-
turn half-breed Indian. But they had
not been lonely months, nor did he
think them wasted. For they had
brought him to what he was pleased
to call a new birth.
The first news of the Truths sep
aration had evoked scant interest from
the gossips. But as the time set for
the trial approached it began to be
whispered about that more than the
usual stale story of domestic disagree
ment lay behind the affair. The wills
per became an audible chorus. 1t was
a dull season in a year when no impor-
tant election impended, there was a
dearth of spicy news; the newspapers
avidly seized this chance to give flavor
to their columns. From some source.
which might have been identified as
Unity's lawyer, reporters were fur
nished material for innumerable sug-
gestive rumors Vague but deity
worded innuendoes of Truths cruel
treatment of his wife appeared, OF his
sly ~profligacy. Of the one strikingly
handsome woman who had c~aptivated
his fancy and whom it was supposed
he would marry after the divorce.
From Truitt, who had completely dis.
appeared. came no denial. His flight
and silence were taken as an admis-
sion Of guilt.
At the trial, to be sure, the testi.
mony was a distinct disappointment.
1t proved merely commonplace deser-
ton and touched but lightly on only
one short-lived period OF dissipation
during which Truitt, at certain mid.
night suppers, had shared with other
men the more or less interesting com.
pany OF sundry nameless women. The
public, deprived of the scandal for
which Its mouth had been watering
decided that Mrs. Truitt had been
overly ~magnanimous in thus sparine
her husband and let its heated imag.
ination supply the lacking details.
Truitt entered no defense and a decree
was quickly handed down. Mrs. Truit,
at once sailed for Europe.
He hailed a cab and gave the name
OF a club that to cabby brought Wis
ions of a liberal tip. In a few minutes
the. destination was reached and the

He held himself under rigid self

though I love her. She was the girl

quietly.

gasped. you couldn't do that. Even
you couldn't be SO brutal

But you couldn't. You'll must have
time to think"
You must choose now" He was
inflexible.
She sat transfxed, beginning to
comprehend the reality of his purpose
Her confidence suddenly melted. Fear
shone in her eyes. She rose, and with
a piteous pleading gesture, too fright
ened to be conscious of her hypocrisy
she went to him.
Why, Mark-Mark, dear! You can
mean that. You couldn't cast me of
like this. Why, we're husband and
wife and-I know l haven't been fail
to you, but | can't let you go. lie,

over. We car be happy"
The stammering incoherent cry
halted, silenced by the unrelentine
quality of his steady eyes. The out
stretched hands fell Imply to hel
sides. She shrank back a step from
him.
Il believe-you do-mean it."
I'm waiting for your choice"
After q little it came, gaspingly.
Il have no choice. II must con

He turned away and without another
word or glance for her, limped heavily

She answered with a contemptuous
shrug. Il will do nothing so silly.
You ask toe much"
"Ah, You're franker than l thought
you could be. I'm glad you're frank"
He rose, looking c%uriously down at
her. IF you look back. you'll find I've
ever asked you anything until now
I've been content to take-at least,
I've taken-only what 1t suited your
wnims to give me. And you've given
