 Mrs, Page, I will repeat my for

 me-and seized me by the shoulder!
 Then-he-he struck me- But he held me so tight that my shoulder Tor days bore the imprint of his fin gers in a great bruise on the flesh"
 Have you ever seen another bruise like that?"
 ''Yes'

Mary ran to him and he took her on his knee. Suddenly she began screaming and striking at him, and he pushed off his lap. Then" she faltered a little, but went bravely on. MT.

 The insult left mo deadly cold. I knew, of course, that Dicky was so blinded by rage and jealousy that he had no idea of what he was saying. But ungovernable as I knew his tenn per to be, he had passed the limits of ny forbearance.
 Il will answer that speech in ten mlnutes, I said and walked into my room again.
 For l had come to a sudden de- cision as startling as it was sudden. l hastily threw some most necessary things into a bag. Then I put ten dollar bill of the housekeeping money into my purse, resolving to send it back to Dicky as soon as l could get access to my own tiny hank account, the remnant of my teaching savings Into parcel 1 placed the rest of the housekeeping money, my wedding and engagement rings and the lavalliere which DlckY had given me as a wedding present I put them in the back of the top drawer of my dressing table, for I knew if I handed them to Dicky in his present frame of mind he would destroy them. Then I walked steadily into the living room. bag in hand.
 Dicky was nowhere to be seen, but I heard the mummur of voices in his mothers room. I went to the door and knocked. Dicky threw it open, his face still showing the marks of his anger.
 You will find the housekeeping money in the top drawer of my dress ing table, said calmly. 'I will send you my address as soon as I have one and you will please have Katie pack my things and send them to me-
 I turned and went swiftly to the door. As I closed it after me, I thought I heard Dicky cry out hoarse- ly. But I did not stop.

And all the While that I was ma king ready for her, he made my inability to go out With him an excuse for debauch. And oh, your HonOr-' she added, turning to the Judge with a catch in he VOlce,

 Did your husband ever strike you when he was drunl1?'' Again Lang don's voice held that warning note, but now the prosecutor broke in sharply:
 May it please the court I protest against the evidence, as irrelevant! AS being a palpable effort to arouse sympathy towards the prisoner and her mother and therefore a menace to the progress of justice"
 On the contrary, your Honor" Langdon took an eager step forward, and there was a sharp thrill almost of triumph in his voice as he spoke, it is my intention to prove by this testlm ony that Mary Page, through prenatal influence, was born with so great a horror of drink, as to induce, ln her, moments of temporary insan- ltY even when she was a little child And if Mary Page fired the shot that Killed David Pollock she did so while suffering from an attack of represent ed psychosis' to which she has been subject all her life"
 The words spread like a flame through the finder of curiosity and leapt from lip to lip not only through the court itself, but spread by some telephat1c means to those lowering in the corridor without. The defence was known at last. It was temporary sanity under a new and delightfully erudite title,

 She was very down -hearted.
 Do you know what the trouble with your essay was?" I asked.
 "He' (the professor) said my idea was good, but that the essay wasn't well constructed"
 "In other words, that you were very fortunate not to get the prize?"
 What do you mean,' If She Had Won She WouIdn't Have
 Tried To Improve.
 That if there had been no other essay in the competition good enough to take the prize away from you, you wouldn't have realized that you were weak in your construction and wouldn't have tried to improve your self as you will now.'
 DO you really think there is any use in trying?''
 Shame on you!" said I. And then I told her about Robert Brinsley Sheridan.
 The first time Robert Sheridan spoke in public he was a complete failure.
 Instead of saying that his audience was unsympathetic, or that he hadn't had time to prepare his speech, or that he guessed he didn't want to be an orator after all, he gritted his teeth and said:
 'Tt is in me- and by heavens it shall come out.'
 And Then He Began To Push That
 Obstacle Out Of The Way.
 And then he went to work to push away the obstacle that was keeping back that power he felt within him. Who has not felt the power to ac- complish things of one sort or an- i other stirring within him? And who has not felt defeated and baked at the meagre things he has actually accomplished?
