A CORNER IN ANCESTORS THE EVANS FAMILY ezEEAncEs

Dade and Parthenia Alexander. living in
Virginia in the early nineteenth century.
Mrs Triplett had a son. Thomas Trip
lett, who was a~captain in the United
States Navy. He married three times,
first Mary Virginia HeTbertI second.
Anna Pope. his second cousin, and third.
Hattie Du Bose. OF Georgia.
To Mrs. T. E., who asks for informa-
ton concerning Thomas Conway and
Grass Scruggs. both OF Virginia:
have had another inquiry recently
concerning Scruggs. but I cannot place
the family. 1t is apparently derived from
the Scotch family Of scroggs, originated
from the village OF that name IN Dunn
frieshire. Although / cannot ind the
name of Hugh Conway he is probably a
member of the distinguished Conway
family, Of Virginia, which was founded
by Edwin Conway, Of Worcester, Eng
land. He died in Lancaster County. Va.
In 1915. He married first Martha Elton
head. and second a daughter OF the Car
ter family. Through his only son, Edwin,
who married Sarah F1etts and Elizabeth
Thompson, he established one Of the fine
old families Of Virginia.

closed the door softly and hurried down
to the Office.

Il was not until she was whirling
away in the cab that it struck her how
euriously the clerk had looked at her,
and then she thought ofsth reason. He
knew she was telling an untruth about
the telegram. She could have received
mo telegram without its first having
gone to the Office. But what did it mat

but her longing to get home?

When the cas- drew Up at last she
sprang out, gave one quick upward
glance at the windows of her apart
ment, then hurried in through the long
corridor. The elevator boy was doing
in his chair. Glad to escape his curious
eyes, she ran swiftly up the stairs.
At her own door she paused. Noise
lessly she fitted her key in the lock. In
side, the thick rugs gave out no sound
of her footsteps. The library door was
aiar, and softly she pushed it farther

He drew a comfortable chair up to
the open CRATE. For moment she was
conscious of nothing but dared, over
wheiming amazement. Then she heard
her own voice saying mechanically:
"No. thank you. I'm rather tired. I
think shall 60 to bed"
He looked at his watch. IT'S later

She heard and answered his Good

her own room. standing by the dressing
table, slowly drawing OF her gloves. She
smoothed them out carefully, then took
of her veil and folded II neatly. And
all the time she was saying aloud in a
low. monotonous voice:

She still stood by the dressing table;

She nodded.

She shook her head and murmured
that she was only tired.

When the maid was gone she threw
herself back on the bed in a passionate
burst of tears. So he was leaving her
alone; he was making no effort to find
her; he was forcing her to spend the
night alone in this strange hotel -
She looked around the room again. It
was typical hotel bedroom. There was
something inexpressibly dreaY about
the cheap oak bureau, covered with a
scant towel for a scarf, and with only
box OF matches on it. The small,
square table held few sheets of hotel
paper and envelopes. She had forgotten
to ask for bath, so they had given her
only single room.
The washstand in the corner was of
the same shiny oak as the bureau and
table. The bowl, pitcher. and soap dish
were deliberately decorated with. gar

that lay before her: Bottles, brushes

all in a long. even row. Then Sd,
grouped them close together, ther
moved them back into row again. And
all the time she was saying to herself
over and over again:
Il have killed his Lowell I have killed
his loyel" y
The events of the night were blurred.
Il seemed years since she had been in
that hotel and heard the, voices from the
next room. Ii seemed all so vague and
far away. Only one thing stood out
clearly-that she had killed her hus-
bands love. Tia: her lesson had come
too lars &C.,
Her mind went back over the days
of their engagement and marriage At
each tender memory she shrank-they
were like memories of the dead. She
tried to think of the future, of what
shSwould do, but she could not.
At length she became conscious of her
| physical weariness-of her aching body,
which she had ignored until now. Then
she turned off the lights and lay down.
She did not undress; both mind and
body shrank from any definite exertion.
The window by her bed was open and
the cold night air blew in, chilling her
threw, but she did not move to close it.
The faint whistle of distant boats, and
now and then the sound of a passing
cab, were all that broke the stiffness.
II was almost dawn when there was
soft knock at the door. The door
opened-and then he was kneeling by
the bed, his arms around her.
"Oh, HeIen-Helen! l can't bear il

thing that you might as well wake up
to. You're not as young as you might
be, by"a long shot, and you've fallen
of lately. People want to see you now
but they won't much longer; so guess
you'll stick to your JOB while it lasts
You'll have plenty of time to rest when
the blessed fools get tired of youl"
The only answer was the sound Of the
woman's stifed sobs.
"Oh, for Gods sake, stop that whim-
pering! I'm going down to get drink,
and I'll not have any COMPOUNDED
whining when / get back"
There was the sound of heavy steps,
and then door was opened and banged.
Helen leaned against the window-sill
and covered her face With her hands. In
that moment it came to her like a reve-
lation-the love and and tenderness that
her husband gave her. that he had given
her unwsveringly all these years, and
that she had never appreciated.
1t had taken the coarse brutality OF
another woman's husband to make her
realize the devotion of her own. The
memory OF her selhshness, her petu-
lance, her fretful csprieiousness, seemed
burning into her mind. It was not
enough that in everything which per-
tanned to her comfort or happiness he
would always anticipate her wishes /;
she had wanted to feel her power over
him, to force him TO yield to her in every
little thing, to crush out all his indie
pendence of thought and personality,
and to make him but a weak reflection
OF herself. The deep, strong love that
he had given her she had used to make
him a slave to her whims-her petty,
fretful, tyrannical whims.
She started up and walked around the
room, in response to the instinct that
makes Us seek some kind of action in
moments OF mental anguish. For the
first time, perhaps, in all her life she
was suffering the torments of self
loathing. Was it too late to atone? Had
her exscting. unreasonable whims worn
out his love?
With trembling fingers she. was pin
ming on her hat. One thing was plain
she must 60 home at once and relieve
his anxiety about her; it was the least
she could do.
At the door she paused for a last
glance at the cherries room. The Bit

To escape from the. depressing dreari-

was almost deserted. A cab passed along
now and then, and few people strolled
leisurely by. The window of the cigar

and the saloon next to it, with its gilt

the general gloom. .,..
