JEALOUSY.
Chapter XCl.

Louise fairly rushed up the avenue.
| For few minutes she gave herself over
blindly to the first foolish pangs Of jealousy
Harry and that woman, Harry =
that woman she kept saying 10 hers /.
I II hate her-l hate him too.
She reached her street and turned east
towards the studios
What right has he to run around and
have a nice time while I'm feeling so mis-
erable?" she said to herself forgettins for
/ the moment that she herself had been
running around and having far nicer
time than Harry.
! But when she ran mp the stairs and let
! herself into her own little apartment,
| some of her common sense came back to
! her. She sat down on the couch, and
thought about it, And presently she got
up and walked over to the desk where
! photograph Of Harry in his uniform was
! framed
I'm awfully silly, she told the
| picture
She picked up the photograph and look
! ed at II closely. Harry was good looking
| boy at all times but, rs rs usually the
| case. he was particularly distinguished IN
/ his uniform His clear eyes looked straight
/ into hers and seemed to quiet her. She
remembered how in the old days, when
| thcv lived in the dear little house, In the
country. he had Gained her by Just such a
steady, quiet straight look.
Tim Jealous, she told the picture.
! ITS a miserable way To be. ] don't be-
/ heve you are half as much to blame Tor all
| these troubles as I've thought.
For several minutes she sat there looking
| at his photograph, and thinking. She re-
membered his quick bOylsh smlle-and
suddenly the jealousy she was fighting,
came Iack again. For he had
! turned 10 Mrs. Salisbury with
/ lust that warm smile, while she, his wIie,
was looking at him from the doorway
/ But after all, what n fortunate thing 1t
Was that they did not mect' How could
