A skeleton ratified violently in,
Agnes Worthington's closet. No
one else except the married man,
who was going 10 be written to
knew it was there. Her closet was
a combination affair which fretted
her for the shelves at one end held
edibles, while on the hooks hung
her once handsome and modish gar
ments, now out Of date and shabby.
In this Ell Paso rooming house,
which accounted for the character
of the cupboard, she had not even
room for a piano, her one solace
since she had left the sanitarium.
But she had front sleeping
porch, where she went and sat to
plan the momentous letter which
would change her circumstances,
now so prophetic of future hard
ship. Her dark eyes, which were
beautiful, noticed that the feathery
pink salt-cedar blowing against the
fiat-roofed Mexican houses across
the street was turning to reddish
brown, although it was April; then
her eyes rested on soft brown Mt.
Franklin, yet she was not spfritu-
ally lifting her eyes to the hills
but looking into past whose men,
cries thrilled and frightened her,
SO she had sedulously avoided them
for some time.
AS Agnes sat bordering, a little
| girl ran out of the house after
highly rouged mother. who stepped
into a waiting touring car contain
ing a gay party. The child jumped
up and down her black curls bob
bling as she waved her hand. crying
cheerily, "Good-by, mamma! Good
by, everyone!" But when the ca,
had driven of she came through the
gate with her finger in her mouth
tears in her eyes and a distorted
countenance. Ordinarily Agne,
would haEe gone down to comfort
the child, but now she was too alb
sorbed in her own thoughts.
Turning to an oak table. she pro-
duced rather cheap grade of let
ter paper, smiling ruefully as sh,
recalled the correct stationery will
which she was wont to address thu
man in question. The hand will
which she took up her pen was al
aristocratic hand and that Of a mu
stefan. With her dark brows slight
ly contracted, she wrote:

surprise you to hear from me
