a great sob broke from him and rent her
heart.
My darling, my darling. Goodbye" he
said, brokenly You have taught me all
that life means; all that it can hold of
pleasure and pain. Henceforth, it is the
gray path of shadows: and oh. God take
care of you and grant us some peace"
But she was sobbing on his breast and
could not speak.

adore you. Always know you have only to

Then he folded her again in his arms
and held her so close it seemed the breath
must leave her body, and then they walked
on silently, and silently entered the house
by the western garden door.
The evening was a blank to Theodore
She dressed in her satins and laces, and
let her maid fasten her wonderful emeralds
on throat and breast and hair. She de-
scended to the drawing-room and walked
in to dinner, with some strange man-all
as one in a dream. She answered as an
automaton and the man thought how beau
tiful sk was, and what pity for so beau
tiful a woman to be so stupid and silent
and dull.
Almost wanting" was his last COM
ment to himself as the ladies left the din

Then Theodore forced herself to speak
to chatter to a now complacent group of
women who gathered round her. Those
emeralds, and the way the diamonds we're
set round them, proved too strong an at
traction for even Lady Harrowfield to
keep far away. She was going to have her

her being.
Hector's was a long letter; probably
very loving. but that did not concern her.
II would be most unladylike to read II, she
decided-a sort of thing only the house
maids would do. What she intended was
to place them in the wrong envelopes

great thing Of pages and pages like that.
But even II it were innocent, 1t was bonpd
to cause some trouble and annoyance; and
the thought OF that was honey and balm
to her.
She slipped them into the covers she
had destined for them and pressed down
the damp gum. So all was as it had been
to outward appearance, and she felt per-

to herself And sudden temptation came
over her, swift and strong and not to be
resisted.
Here would be revenge-revenge she
had always longed for! while her sullen
rage had been gathering all these last
days. She heard the groom Of the cham
bers approaching to collect the letters;
she must decide at once. So she slipped
Theodoras two missives into her blouse
and walked toward the door,
There is another post which goes at
seven, isn't there, Edgarson?" she asked,
'and the letters are delivered in London
tomorrow morning just the same?"
Yes, ma'am, they arrive by the second
post in London" said the man, politely.
and she passed on to her room.
Arrived there, excitement and triumph
burned all over her. Here, without a
chance of detection, she could crush her
rival and see her thoroughly punished, and
who knows?-Hector might yet be
caught in the rebound.
She would not hesitate a second. She
rang for her maid

she said 81 have indigestion. And then
you need not wait-I shall read until tea"
She was innocently settled on her sofa
with a book when the maid returned. She
was a well-bred servant, and silently
placed the kettle and glass and left the
room noiselessly. Morella sprang to her
feet with unusual agility. Her heavy form
was slow of movement as rule.
The door once locked, she returned to
the sofa and began operations. The kettle
soon boiled, and the steam puffed out and
achieved its purpose. The thin, hand

with no difficulty she opened the flap

rubies remounted, and this seemed just
the pattern she would like.
So the time passed, and the men came
into the room. But Hector was not with
them. He had found telegram, it trans
pired, which had been waiting for him on
his return, and it would oblige him to go
to Bracondale Immediately, so he was mo-
toring up to London that night. He had
acted his part to the end, and no one
guessed he was leaving the best Of his life
behind him. When Theodore realized he
was gone she suddenly felt very faint; but
she, too, was not of common clay, and
breeding will tell in crises Of this sort. so
she sat up and talked gayly. The evening
passed, and at last she was alone for the
night
There are moralists who will assure us
the knowledge of having done right brings
its own consolation. And in good books,
about good women, the heroine experiences

What Josiah Brown Did.

K TEXT morning, ever. a rather late
IN breakfast in his sitting room at
Claridges, Josiah's second post
came in. All had gone well with his busi-
ness in the city the day before, and in the
afternoon he had run down to Bessington
Hall, returning late at night.
He was feeling unusually well and self
pleasant things: To the delight of having
Theodore once more as a wife; OF his hone

them over. Nothing of importance. All,
yes. there was Theodora's. The first let
ter she had ever written him, and such a
long one! What could the girl have to
say? Surely not all that about trains! He
opened the envelope with knife which
lay by his plate, and this is what he read
read with whitening face and sinking
heart:

last time | must think of you as that,

her. but because she was so true and so
sweet that she must keep her word and
not betray Josiah. She did not analyze
anything. Life was over for her, whatever
came now could only find her numb. By
an early train Josiah left for London.
Take care of yourself my love-" he had
said, as he looked in at her door, and
write to me this afternoon as to what
train you decide to leave by on Thursday"
She promised she would, and he depart
ed, thoroughly satisfied with his visit
among the great world
The day was spent as the other days,
and after lunch Theodore escaped to her
room. She must write her letter to Josiah
for the afternoons post. She had discov-
cred the train left at eleven o'clock. 1t did
not take her long, this little note to her
husband, and then she sat and stared into
space for a while.
The terrible reaction had begun. There
was no more excitement, only the fatness,
the blank of the days to look forward to.
and that unspeakable sense Of loss and
void. And OH she had let Hector go with
out one word of her passionate love! She
had been too unnerved to answer him
when he had said his last goodbye to her
in the wood.
She seized the pen again which had
dropped from her hand. She would write
to him. She would tell him her thoughts
in a final farewell. II might comfort
him, and herself, too. So she wrote and
wrote on, Straight out from her heart, then
she found she had only just time to take
the letters to the hall.
She closed Hector's with a sigh. and
picking up Josiah's already fastened, she
ran with them quickly down the stairs.
There was an immense pile of correspond
ence-the accumulation of Whitsuntide.
The box that usually received 1t was
quite full, and several letters lay about on
the table.

Morella 3 Revenge.

EORELLA WINMARLEIGE had been
M taking an evening stroll with Lord
ANA Wensleydown. They had come
upon the two in the Summer house quite
by accident, but now they had caught them
they would stick to them. and make their
walk as tiresome as possible, they both
decided to themselves.
After very great emotion such as Hector
and Theodora had been experiencing, to
have this uncongenial and hateful pair as
companions was impossible to bear.
Neither Hector nor Theodore stirred or
made room for them on the seat.
Isn't this a sweet place. Lord Wensley-
DOWN." Miss Winmarleigh said. why
have you never brought me here before?
How did you find it, Hector?" turning to
him in a determined fashion. You will
have to show US the way back, as we are
quite lost" and she giggled irritatingly.
The first turn to the right at the end OF
the willows" said Hector, with what polite
ness he could summon up, "and | am sure
you will be able to get to the house quite
safely. AS you are in such a hurry, don't
let us keep you. Mrs Brown and ! are
going the Dther way by the river, when we
do start"
"Oh. we are not in hurry at ALL said
Lord Wensleydown. do come with us,
Mrs. Brown, we are feeling so lonely"
Theodore rose. She could bear no more
Of this.
Let us co. she said to Hector, and
they started, leading the way. And for a
while they heard the others in mocking
filters behind them. but presently. when
near the house, they quickened their pace
and were again alone and free from their
tormentors.
They had not spoken at all in this hate
ful walk, and now he turned to her
'My darling" he said, life seems over
for me-"
And for me, too, Hector" she said
And when we come to this dark piece of
Wood want you to kiss me once more and
say goodbye forever, and go out of my
life" There was a passionate sob in her
voice And OH dearly beloved, please
promise me you will leave tomorrow. Do
not make it more impossible to bear than
it already is.''
But be was silent with pain. A mad,
reckless revolt at fate flooded all his being
1t was past eight O'Clock now, and when
they came to the soothing gloom of the

r TE tried to persuade her. he pleaded
n with her, drew pictures Of their
= = happiness that surely would be,
talked of Italy and eternal Summer and
exquisite pleasure and bliss. And all the
time he felt her quiver in his arms and
respond to each thought, as her imagina-
tion took fire at the beautiful pictures OF
love and joy. But nothing shook her de-
termination.
At last she said: Dearest, if l were
different perhaps, stronger and Drawer,
could go away and live with you like that,
and keep it all glorious thing; but am
not-only a weak creature, and the MEM
ory of my broken word, and Josiah's sor-
row, and your mothers anguish, would kill
all Joy. We could have blissful moments
of forgetfulness, but the great ghost Of
remorse would chase for me all happiness
away. Dearest, love you so; but oh, l
could not live, haunted like that; should
just-die"
Then he knew all hope was over, and
the mad passion went out of him, and his
arms dropped to his sides as il half life
had fed. She looked up in his face in fear
at its CHASTITY whiteness.
And at this moment, through the parted
willows, there appeared the sullen, mock
ing eyes of Morella Winmarleigh.
She pushed the bushes aside, and, fol-
lowed by Lord Wensleydown, she came
toward the Summer-house.
Her slow senses had taken in the scene.
Hector was evidently very unhappy, she
thought, and that hateful woman had been
teasing him, no doubt. Thus her banal
mind read the tragedy of these two human
lives.

These are the three questions

Republicans, following the hand

tossed out Saturday when he issued

The questions may derive their
answers from any one of the follow

pressed by Republican in the state

Number One Said ut means the

put the leaders in such a position
that they cannot roll him without in

Number Two said 1T may not

But it smacks SO much of political
independence that Republican lead
ers, who are trying to be very careful
this year, are going to run down
and look at their hands before they
go ahead with their plan to nominate
some one else. They will hold up the

to get together and confer again"
Number Three said: 1T will not

A hannv Snnnsstlnn

The Albuquerque Herald makes a
practical suggestion for the partial
remedying Of the damage done by
the North American in heedlessly ac-
cepting and publishing that sour
rilous SANDER ON New Mexico by the
Kansas Cityan, Henry Wray, last
month. "All of u.s. says the Herald,
"who have come from other states
know at least one newspaper editor.
Many of us know a dozen or more
in as many states. II every man
and woman in the state will use his
or her newspaper acquaintance to
the extent Of writing a letter about
this North American Review outrage
and asking for its publication, the
result will be a national advertising
campaign which will do this state a
vast amount Of direct good.
The instance Of the Albuquerque
man who received a package OF
flower seeds from a great Boston
seed house, with a customs receipt
pasted on the wrapper, is by no
means an isolated instance Of the
ignorance about New Mexico exist
ing east of the Alleghenies. The in
jury to this state from the Villa raid
has been far greater than is generally
realized.
1--WE have an Opportunity, through
this gross blunder Of the North
American Review, to do a fine educa-
tional work for New Mexico. We
should do that work thoroughly. Il
is worth doing not only as a matter
Of state pride and justice, but because
it will be worth hard dollars to al Of
US to get the truth about New Mex
