TUESDAY,

| TUESDAY.
Mrs Hooper and the Bride were sitting
together in Betty's room, talking in low
tones while the child had her afternoon
nap.
The Bride was very much thinner than
she had been s. month ago and looked
grieved and troubled, and Mrs. Hooper
was almost sick with anxiety about
her.
Tell me what this dreadful quarrel
is all about" began Mrs Hooper as soon
as her mother who had been in the
room when the Bride arrived, had closed
the door and gone out.
We'll, Bob has deceived me dreadfully,"
answered the Bride In low voice, "and
1t Is out Of the question for me ever
to forgive him, so I might just as well
leave him and close the chapter at
once"
But Just what did he DOR inquired
Mrs. Hooper anxlously.
We'll" began the Bride and her voice
trembled with emotion. during those
two weeks that I thought he had gone
West on a business trip, he was in the
city all the time and never let me
know"
"Oh, what in the world possessed him
to practice such a deception as that on
your exclaimed Mrs. Hooper. little note
Of Mortified protest creeping into her
voice. How could he?"
That's what I've asked myself hun
dred times" sobbed the Bride, "and
there is no answer. That's why I'm going
away. I could never trust him again"
But what excuse does he give for such
/ cVnductf" said Mrs. Hooper, checking
her emotion as the Bride began to give
way to hers. Had he any explanation
whatever and did he tell you where he
was"
"Oh yes,- the Bride went on, daooins
her eyes with her handkerchief. "he
does nothing but explain, but of course
can't believe him"
But where was he?" insisted Mrs
Hooper, "and what story does he tell
that you cannot believe"
well. he says" choked the Bride,
that he started on his trip just as he
told me he was going to do and that
when he had been just one day out on
the road he received a telegram from
his firm telling him to return immediate
" as the matter he was being sent out
&c attend to had been Unexpectedly ad-
iusted.
But why didn't he wire you then?"
inquired Mrs. Hooper Indignantly.
"He insists" continued the Bride
that he wanted to surprise me, and that
he came right back home without letting
me know that be was coming and ar
rived at the house at about o'clock.
I there was no one there you remember l
came right over here to help you with
Betty the day he went away"
Then what did he do;" asked Mrs.
Fooper. looking at the Bride intently.
"It's just there that I tell him that
J the thought OF decelYing me entered his
} Lind" exclaimed he Bride. her voice
/ hardening at the thought Of her wrongs
( You see when he got off the Overland
train he met one OF those college friends
Of his that he went camping with last
month. This fellow and his chum have
an apartment in the city and he sug
/ gested to Bob that he just stay In town
| with him and have a little lark for a
few days, as long as I didn't expect him
home"
But he says he came back" Mrs.
Hooper reminded her, so he must have
refused his friends invitation"
Yes" agreed the Bride. but when he
[ found the house closed and me away, he
rang here and asked your mother, who
answered the phone, II she knew where l
was without saying that it was my hus
band who was inquiring- She thought
Il was some friend asking for me and
told him that I Rad come TO nurse Betty
and intended to stay for two weeks.
Then he decided to 20 back to the
city and join his two friends:" asks
Mrs. Hooper
Exactly" responded the Bride bit
terly "I thought It was so queer that
I didn't hear from him, but he hates to
write letters and I knew he expected to
be busy and we were all so alarmed
about Betty that the time passed, and
I didn't worry as much about that as II I
had been at home alone with nothing to
think about"
But II he only went and stayed with
his friends and went back and forth TO
his Office every day, why didn't he write
to you and say so. especially when you
were not at home anyhow and wouldn't
have any objections to his staying?"
commented Mrs. Hooper.
That's just what ! can't understand"
lared the Bride. "and I've toi, Elm I'll
never forgive him. no matter how sorry
he is or how much he begs TO do So"
But, my dear" began Mrs Hooper
soothingly.
Mrs Campbell has come over to tea,
mother" Helen called upstairs.
"Oh. dear" said the Bride dabbing her
red eyes. "You go down: I'll stay with
Betty and III tell you the rest tomor-
low"
