then went to the seashore and sought
her cottage on the beach-the same
beach ON which the Norris cottage
stood.
Mrs. Fall arrived at the beach in
time to enjoy the sea air for half an
hour before dinner, and relaxed in her
comfortable beach-chair alongside an
other occupied by a Mrs. Hunter. Mrs.
Hunter, like Mrs. Fall, was one OF the

wife and make her withdraw her
charge; but she had ceased to think of
him as positive quantity. and was
unmoved by his appeals.
When Ethel arrived she went
straight to her cottage, which she
found deserted. Myra and her father
had gone to the shore. She drew in
her breath sharply as her anxious
eyes, after searching the living room
for signs of its new occupant, fell on
large, fioppy straw hat flung care
essly on a chair. She picked 1t up
and examined 1t eagerly, her essential
feminine binding her for the moment
to its indication, and causing her to
wonder what he could see in that;
then realizing its significance she
dashed it fiercely to the ground and
started for the beach. She walked
quickly, tirelessly in the soft sand, and
was startled when, after a sharp turn
round ledge of rock, she came upon
Willard Fall. He was sobered by his
wife's refusal to listen to his entreat-
les, and was as detected as his trivial
nature would allow. He lifted his hat.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Norris.

"Howdyedo, Mr.. Fall. Oh, come
down occasionally"
1--WE wanted ever since that fright

am that you should have been placed

He said nothing, however, of the
divorce suit, thinking she must already
know. She wanted to be rid OF him
wanted to fly on wildly-wanted to
find them-wanted and feared to-
feared every step that took her eager,
the limitless stretch of beach. He
kept on talking, solicitously trying his
utmost to assure her of his regret.
Racing, careening madly down the
beach came Norris auto, its flying
wheels sending up a swish of sand in
their wake. 1t stopped within a few
yards Of them, and Norris, strange,
wild expression on his face, jumped
out. He had seen them half a mile
off, and the sight of them together
changed his crafty, quiet look to one
of terrible rage. Dashing wildly up
to where they stood, he. thrust the
frightful headline under Ethel's eyes,
his face twitching in frightrul contor-

he gurgled chokingly.
Etheps eyes took in the glazing
headline, and followed down to the
subhead. She started back, gasping,
realizing fully that what she had
dreaded had come to pass-that he had
learned from another source what she
had not the courage to tell him-that
he had doubted her as she him-that

before her was raving maniac.
Fall had edged off. But Norris,
watching her, needed no answer, her
startled gasp as she shrank back con-
victing her utterly.
His hand went deep In his pocket,
and when he wheeled and raised his
arm there was a short sharp fash,
and Fall dropped in the sand. He
rose, and with faltering steps started
like drunken man toward a cliff

Mrs. Fall recovered quickly from
an involuntary expression of surprise,
and casting scornful, contemptu-
Gus glance at the man who justified
his indulgences by eliminating an
other, turned and was gone.
Blindly, angrily, Mrs. Fall rushed
from the building, and in Central
Park, where she went for rest and
air, she met Mrs. Norris. Forgetting
that she lived lin a glass house," for
getting everything except that misery
loves company" she warned her
against the pretty stenographer in her
husbands office. BY a few careless
words the seeds of an awful suspicion
were sown.

certainly. Tell me, does your father

you find it difficult to give your work
your best attention, with the worry of
his ailing health on your mind? You
know" = whimsically - you're too

Her face, flushed with fever as ii
was, beamed softly as he mentioned
her father, and connected that word
with too great a care" Her father
too great care.
Father a care?" she answered half
interrogatively "You don't know

Germany sold to Russia $40 .14o tons of
