yielded to his will all these years. had
condoned his offenses for the sake of
the children and for the sake of ap-

herself at last as willing to be the mis-

in his chair. his hands Gripped its edge
tightly and his face took on an aspect
of ugly hardness as he checked her
with:
Now. see here
In her voice there was an added note
OF sorrow as she went on:
"Oh. | haven't forgotten it. although
it is thirteen years ago. That little
Miss Deane. that innocent child-and

At the beginning of the interchange
of words. when Glover left the room.
she had been seated. AS her feelings
mounted she had risen and had moved
uneaSily about the chamber. as
though the spirit that possessed her
would not let her rest. But now. with
the mention of the Miss Deane,"
whose name seemed to stir her so
deeply. she seated herself in an arm
chair and sat there rigid. with clinch-
ed hands. She did not look at Trask.
Whoever Miss Deane had been or
WAS and no matter what emotion the
memory Of her awakened and stirred
in the breast of Joan TraSk it did not
seem to affect Gerald Trask. save that
he now seemed possessed of wish 10

Perhaps it was with Il desire to reach

Joan Trask recognized the futility Of
her arguments and her appeals to her
husband When reasoning fails fear
and self interest will prevail some
times She decided to adopt a differ

husband. Wifely devotion had failed.
appeal to parental love had been in
vain. She would try compulsion.
Her voice lost it's appealing quality
and took on the tone of indignant wo-

The threat failed of its effect.

words:
''DO you think that's all | care about?
Don't you suppose marriage means
anything to me but spending money
and amusing myself? What good is it

The words struck chord of coarse
