She looked longingly back towards
the crowded doorway, and the young
man who stood by her side was aware
Of curious and altogether inexplica-
bic sensation He suddenly found
himself envying Gerald's careless but
fascinating manners. his good looks,
his light, debonair manner Of speech.
Hven this little waif picked up at the
roadside was already under his spell.
Then Christopher remembered other
things about his friend. and his face
grew stern. t

MYRTLE stopped and with sudden,
passionate gesture raised his hand to
her lips. Then she dragged Annette
OF without looking behind. Gerald
laughed little consciously.
"Our village maiden Is somewhat
demonstrative," he remarked lightly.

"he is capable, even. OF idealism. On
the other hand, he is fatally weak,

 Bishop rapped out an oath, and then, shaken by a sudden fear: "Who the devil may you beg" he asked.
 T am Lord Willoughby, Governor General of His Majesty's Colonies in the West Indies. You were informed, I think, of my coming"
 The remains of Bishops anger fell from him like a cloak. He broke into sweat of fear. Behind Rim Lord Julian looked on, his handsome face suddenly white and drawn.

 "Sir, I am not concerned to hear your reasons" his lordship interrupted harshly. Il am on the point of sail ing and have not the time. The governor will hear you and no Soubt deal jnstly by you" Ee waved to Major Mallard, and Bishop, crump- led, broken man, allowed himself to be led away.
 To Lord Julian, who went with him, since none deterred him, Bishop expressed himself when presently he uda SuiAicieuUy EecOFcFeu.
 This is one more item to the ac- count of that schroundred Blood," he said through his teeth. My God. what a reckoning there will be when me meet !"
 Major Mallard turned away his face that he might conceal his smile, and without further words led him a prisoner to the governors house that so long had been Colonel Bishops own residence. He was left to wait under guard in the hall, whilst Major Nal lard went ahead to announce him.
 Miss Bishop was still with Peter Blood when Major A-allard entered. His announcement startled them back to realities.
 You will be merciful : with him. You will spare him all yon can for my sake, Peter she pleaded.
 ''To be sure wfll," said Blood, but I'm afraid the circumstances won't"
 She effaced herself, escaping into the garden and Major Mallard fetched the Colonel.

Colonel Bishop made a noise in his throat, and stared into the face of His Excellency, the deputy governor of Jamaica, which was the face of the man he had been hunting in TOrtuga to his present undoing.
 The situation was best expressed to Lord Willoughby by Van der Kuylen as the pair steped aboard the admiral's flagship.

 And Servants
 The following is an excerpt from the will of a Wall street man, which has been recently probated in the New York courts:
 ITO my wife, leave her lover and the knowledge that wasn't the fool she thought l was.
 To my son, leave the pleasure of earning a living. For 35 years he has thought that the pleasure was all mine. He was mistaken.
 'sTo my daughter, leave $1O0,000. She will need it. The only good piece of business her husband ever did was to marry her.
 ''To my valet, leave the clothes that he has been sealing from me regularly for the past ten years. Also my fuv coat that he wore last winter when ! was in Palm Beach.
 "To my chauffeur, I leave my cars. He almost ruined them and want him to have the satisfaction of finishing the job.
 "To my partner, leave the sugges- .tion that he take some other clever man in with him at once if he expects to do eny business. Wall, Street Journal.

 young man who was very fond of me when was single. He, my bus. band and all grew up together. When it becnme necessary for me to make a choice I picked my husband. Then the other man passed out of my life. only to reappear--altogethe by acci. dent--at the place at which we spent the summer.
 'The fact that he once proposed te me and that 1 was fond of him, did not, | thought, make it necessary for me to ignore him altogether. He was on a vacation and it was pleasant to see him again. For this reason had him over to the house for dinner few times, and during the day, while my husband was at his office in town, my old suitor took me and my baby to the beach. He was on a vacation and therefore had more time at his dis posal than my husband.
 "As a matter of fact, he and my hns- band went off by themselves each weekend and played golf together but after the first few days my husband be gan to act strangely.
 "Then he ordered me not to see the other man again and this l refused to do unless he gave me a reason. The result has been that for the first time we are seriously at odds; and for tn. life of me I do not know what to do, in all fairness. My husband is evi. dently jealous and I would not hurt the other man. He is SO gentle and So kind and 1 know he suffered when accepted my husband. Still, my duty is to my husband and don't know wha, to do."

It seems to me that my correspondent is in erroE Her duty in such situa- ton is not to her husband. It is to The Right Thing and this she has done. Her husband is either unduly sensitive or jealous. He is acting stubbornly and boorishiy.
 Of course, it is an unfortunate situa- ton, but I believe the husband needs a lesson and is getting one that will do him a great deal of good. If not curbed now he would probably break out in a similar way later on and if Ely correspondent persists in her very commendable attitude am surf she will avoid future unpleasantless of this kind.
 She need not worry. have an idea that her husband will see the error of his ways. At any rate, it would be fatal for the woman to change her policy. She is absolutely right ana should not submit to her husband. The complications which would arise out of a compromise of this sort would be a mortgage on her future happiness.

Secretary Hughes points out in the
note, which is generally construed as
demonstrating the view of the Wash

sion law is closed incident, with nc
attempt to modify its terms to be

negotiations relating thereto. to
