- HILIP had supposed that
his divorced state would
again prove q barrier to
his marriage with a Catholic,
but the obstacle had been success
fully circumvented. An obliging
priest had found a way out Of
the difficulty. Had the first Mrs.
Baidfin ever been baptized? Philip
recalled that Mrs. Jones had been
q great scoffer at all things per-
tanning to religion. He had gone
to see Constance. No-neither
she nor her sister had ever been
baptized. Father Walsh had been
delighted to learn the news: II
quite simplified matters. A dis.
pensation was obtained without
difficulty. The church refused to
recognize q marriage with an TN
baptized person; in its opinion,
Philip had never been married at
al, and nothing stood In the way
Of his marrying Leila or any
other true believer.
If he or Mary had only knownt
They had been needlessly separ-
ated. Their broken troth, their
tragic parting, the anguish Of un-
satisfied love. al had been unnec.
essary. Any other Father Walsh
who had chosen to befrtend them
could have shown the way. A
phantom barrier had separated
them An the years since his
marriage Philip had imagined
Nary locked up In q convent, re-
nouncing him and the world un.
der the false impression that an
insurmountabIe obstruction stood
in the way Of their union. It had
been too late to recede from his
marriage with Leila; he had sup
posed Mary to be q nun by that
time. And so It had been Leila
and not Mary-who had become
his wife.
Very Highbrow
You can thank your stars you
never married her." Lucy de-
clared. breaking In upon his
thoughts. "She wasn't the least
bit suited to you. She was much
too high-brow. You couldn't have
got along with her-no one could,
unless he'd been a poet or a mu-
sician. My goodness. PhiI-what
do You think about Browning or
Wagner? You hadn't q thing In
common with her. Where would
you be now-married to a prima
donna? How are you and
Leila getting along?"
Philip was suddenly minded to
tell his sister Of the last scene
with his wife. He hated Leila
now. He could only sec her vi.
her meanness, her ugly
temper; it had been horrible, that
last scene-she was a harridan, a
devil, fiend. He had in no way
warranted her turning on him In
that fashion; he hadn't been un.
fair to her; he didn't make much
money. but he had never failed
to give her all his commissions
with the exception OF about five
or six dollars a month he kept
out just for cigars and carfare.

stared at him with distressed
eyes.

feeling. Just because I can't
