could she endure the daily humilia-
ton?
In her own room stood before a
photograph Of herself taken ten years
ago. Mercilessly she compared the
pictured face with the one in the
mirror.
Was that why Horace was turning
from her? Because she had lost some
thing of her youth and beauty? Then
with keen self-reproach she realized
that for the last few years she had
not tried to make herself attractive.
She had cared more for comfort than
for looks.
A long time she gazed into the
mirror-studying her possibilities.
From now on she would spend most
of her time and money in carefully
planned campaign to make herself at
tractive. Massage, exercise, diet,
beauty parlors-she would start on
rigid regime. She would use every
allurement to win back her husband.
Two weeks from that night, Mary
again stood before her mirror. The
result OF her efforts had been trans
forming. Instead OF the plain unbe-
comngly gowned woman--a very diff
ferent vision was reflected.
Her hair, her complexion, the slen-
erness of her figure, all had responded
to her faithful, youthifying treatment.
Instead of the former fifteen min
utes spent in dressing, that evening
she had taken an hour. Over an ex-
pensive -to-order corset, her ex-
quiste new dinner gown incased her
still slender figure to its most grace
full lines.
A last exultant glance and Mary
swept downstairs, her heart beating
fast Knowing that Kennedy was in
the library she was picturing his sur
prise at her transformation. With
the dramatic instinct mate to all
women, she planned the most effective
entrance.
At the foot Of the stairs she paused
Through the archway she could see
him sitting with his back towards her
There was a magazine in his hand,
but he was staring moodily before
him.
With a sudden wistful shyness she
advanced, flushed and self-conscious
in the unaccustomed low-cut gown.
As she hesitated her glance was
drawn to the open window. A faint
breeze futtered out the curtain. The
room was expectantly still.
Then like an apparition, a black
gloved hand drew back the curtain,
revealing the head and shoulders Of
woman, heavily veiled--and the
paralyzing CLINT Of leveled revolver!
