That's good enough. And 1 guess
you'd better have a real tTunkful Of
clothes in case he doesn't come and
you have to go to your mother"
Jim went away, leaving Lillian in
food Of tears. Outside the house he
stopped and shook his head regret
fully, ...r
At $50 John arrived home with a
box of fresh candy, to find Lillian
gone. He read the letter upon the
table. She was gone with the man
who had always loved her, she said,
and she had made the biggest mis-
take in life in marrying John. The
train for San Francisco left at $50
and he needn't try to find where she
had gone, because he would never
see her again.
= John put the letter down calmly
and looked at his watch. Then he
took down the railroad guide There
was no train for San Francisco
at $50.
John washed and did his hair, put
on a clean collar, selected his favor
it's walking stick and went into the
street and took a car to the station.
At 6 o'clock Lillian paced the plat
form beside Jim in anguish. What
would John do? She was beginning
to grow afraid. She had never seen
John angry except once, when he
kicked an impudent plumber out of
the house. He had seemed terrible
then. What would he do? There
might be murder.
She went up to Jim. Il think you
had better CO." she said. You aren't
really necessary, you know. John
won't know who the man was for

you"

He came into the room half an
hour later, big, stalwart, honest-look-
ing. She offered him a chair
whats the trouble, my dear?" he
asked.
John doesn't love me any more"
sobbed Lillian.

wrong" said Jim. 81 know he does"
mo he doesn't. He thinks n-now
he's g-got me it doesn't matter how
he acts. And I'm going to give him
the lesson Of his life. And want
you to help me-"
"WelI, 1 don't mind playing a trick

about the time he's coming home,

And shoot me, maybe" said Jim
meditatively.

Jim. But suppose he doesn't come

Then 1 shall take the train to
