task.
It was after 10 o'clock when he was
ready to 60 out. With sensation OF
guilt he donned his overcoat and high
hat and left the apartment.
Isabel. lying awake, listening to
every sound, wondered ct drst why
John was taking such a long time to
undress. She had been surprised when
she heard him 60 into his dressing
room, for she had supposed he would
sit up reading, as he often did. She
was somewhat touched when she
found-as she had fancied- that he
was really preparing to go to bed at
a sane and descent hour instead OF
sulking in the parlor until long past
midnight.
She settled herself comfortably In
bed with sigh OF satisfaction. Now
she felt that she could go right to
sleep. For, after all, perhaps John
was sorry for his misbehaviour and
was going to be as nice as he used to
be before he and she began to have
their little quarrels.
A prolonged silence startled hel
from her light doze. How still the
apartment was! Where was John
She would just peep into his dressing
room and see.

tie room was in darkness. Turning
on the electric light, she saw that hel
husbands business suit lay across the
back of chair. Running to thu
closet, she glanced in. His dress suit
was gone: SO were his patent leather
shoes; so was his high hat.

time of the evening-and had not tole

CHAPTER XVI.
Only miserable misunderstandings
could come from further discussion OF
the subject OF Adelaide Simmons, Isa-
bell Hamilton decided. She was too
much hurt by Johns attitude to wish
to speak of the matter again.
She had meant what she said when
she told him that he had put her in
the wrong, and although he had at
tempted to explain away his action,
she still felt that he had deceived her.
His accusation that she was "unreason-
ably jealous" stung her sharply. She
determined to show him that his move
ments were Of little consequence to
her, and that she could be secretive as
well as he.
The man himself was indignant at
what he considered his wife's under.
handed methods Of learning Of his at
fairs. He acknowledged to himself
that he had not been entirely candid
with her in explaining the matter of
the telephone call-yet her suspicious
made it impossible for him to be
frank. Adelaide Simmons had tele-
phoned to ask him If he would not
like to meet her and party OF her
friends late that evening for supper at
Broadway restaurant.
81 would ask you to bring your wife
If thought she would want to come, -
Adelaide said. "But the crowd will be,
perhaps, a little gayer than the people
she is accustomed to. For we are all
old friends, you know. Yet If you
think she would care for the lark.
why, bring her along"
John knew very we'll that Isabel
would not care for 1t. He knew, too,
that she would not approve of his
going without her. Therefore he
would say nothing about it. He had
not declined the invitation positively,
although he had not really meant to
accept it. But he did not want to
wound Adelaide, so he said that he
would see about It,"
Had Isabel been pleasant and af-
fectionate, he would have remained
at home with her. After their quarrel
he wandered aimlessly into the little
| parlor, while she went to bed. He felt
uneasy and, discontinued, angry with
his wife and out of temper with him

terest him, and he saw the book that
he had been reading aloud to Isabel a
few evenings ago. It gave him bit
OF heartache to look at the volume
but the ache was speedily followed by
clash of resentment.
How unreasonable she was! Here
he and she might be having a happy
evening together, and she had not
only spied upon his actions but had

made home uncomfortable, a man was
not to be blamed for going away from
home for amusement. Certainly he
was not going to bed as early as this!

where he felt himself very unfairly

him in his own eyes in seeking conso-
lation where he could find it.
He thought Of Adelaide. She was
good company and did not get morose.
OF course, he loved his wife. and did
not love Adelaide-yet the latter had
never made him as uncomfortable as

faction that, although he and his wife
slept in the same room, his closet and
chiffonier were in his little dressing
room. Here he could slip quickly into
his evening clothes.
Tip-toeing to the door of the bed
room, he entered and stood for q mo-
ment at the foot of the bed, listening
to his wife's breathing. 1t was not sc
regular as to make him think she was
asleep. On the contrary, he knew
that she was awake and conscious OF
his presence. Had she spoken gently
at this moment, had she voiced de
sire to conciliate him, he would have
remained at home. In married life

NEW RULES PROMULGATED
IN CANKER FIGHT

OF interest to growers in the ter
ritory affected by citrus canker, is
the information from the state plant
board recently received by local au-
thorities in the citrus canker eradi-
cation work to the effect that two
new rules governing the shipment
of citrus fruit from groves where
infection has existed, have been
passed by the board. The rules fol-
low:
Rule 1O-The harvesting of citrus
fruits from any grove which is, or
shall become infected with citrus
canker is hereby prohibited except
when such harvesting shall be car
ried on under the immediate super
vision of an agent of the plant
board whose wages shall be paid by
the owner of the fruit at the time
it is picked. Said agent Of the
board shall be authorized to pre-
scribe such precautions in connec-
ton with the harvesting of such
fruit and the hauling or otherwise
moving thereof as shall as far as
possible render unlikely the further
dissemination of citrus canker.
The packing of citrus fruit from
such an infected property shall be
carried on only under the immediate
supervision of an agent of the board
whose wages shall be paid by the
person operating the packing house
at which the fruit is prepared for
shipment, or in case such fruit is
not prepared for shipment in a pack
ing house, by the person owning the
fruit at the time it is packed Such
agent shall be authorized to pre-
scribe such precautions in connec-
ton with the packing and other
wise handling of such fruit for
shipment as shall as far as possible
render unlikely the further dissent

The shipment of citrus fruit con-
signed to any .~oi2. il the state o.
Florida from such an infected grove
or from any packing house in which
the fruit from suc'l an infected grove
has been prepared for shipment, is
hereby prohibited.
The shipment of citrus fruit ir

packed in standard crates from such
an infected property or from any
packing house in which fruit from
an infected property is prepared for
shipment, is hereby prohibited, and
the acceptance thereof for shipment
by a common carrier is likewise pro-
hibited

the railroad promoted such courtesy.
His answer was: at gets good men,

answer of this official represents the
two normal methods. :
Let ever corporation, every bust

who are by nature courteous, and.
after securing them, let it treat
them we'll.
But, even if this rule be adopted
courtesy does lie in the mind and

to forget to be courteous. But he
