AS Dwight looked about the labora-
tory and in the bedroom for Doctor
Holland he was a bit disappointed to
ind the young man out.
Lately his Jealous hatred had grown
to such an abnormal extent that he
dreaded losing sight OF either of the
guilty pair for one moment, lest they
had fed the agony they were endur-
ing, And today he proposed finally
showing his hand, on this first ami
versary OF his marriage.
He had not quite decided what hu.
initiation he would heap upon Holland,
Selma's was already arranged, 4 hu.
initiation that lacked nothing Of re-
hnement and dignified, courteous
cruelty. He smiled as he tapped his
coat pocket where a jewelers. little
box lodged which was to be his pres
ent to her
AS he started to leave the room, the
title, Toxicology. seemed fairly to
leap from the cover Of the opened
book lying amid the table litter and
strike him between the eyes. He
picked 1t up curiously. turning II
over in his hands. reading fragments
here and there at the place where It
had been opened. Then he examined
the little vial with the red skull and
cross-bones on its label that had
rested beside the book.
A grayish shadow turned his
healthy color to dull leaden com.
promise OF hue, as he slowly replaced
the little bottle. For a moment he
stood there undecided. then, with a
shrug OF his shoulders. turned and
closed the door softly behind him.
While he lives-I shall be true to
him" That was what Selma had said
that night In the garden when he had
seen her abjure the love she admit

Dwight resumed his library chair.

In Hollands place he would probably
see to 1t that his rival did not live
long. What had allied the doctor that
he had postponed the act this length
of time?
1mpatiently he looked at his watch.
The time had dragged terribly, the
hour before the guests arrived for the
banquet, the hour Immediately before
which he intended unnerving his wifa
