what do you do? We know there's
some talk Connie spoke of
your going into the stock market
or politics-but didn't you use to
build houses, or something quaint?
What do you do. Bret"
Connie was the only one who
recognized that little fine line set
ting around her husbands mouth,
the only one who saw the storm
gathering in his dark eyes.

He, too, stood up, pushing back
his chair with a grating sound
he made a bow to the whole com
pany, for it seemed that all noises
and laughter and chatter sudden
ly had ceased, "Why, didn't you
know" he addressed Veronica,
but first his eyes had flashed one

There was a stunned silence
for a long, tense moment. -..

old work that would take hin,
away from her for hours each
day and bring him home tired and
cross each night. She wanted him
with her, for a companion, lover
and a husband.
She did not stop to think that
in trying to possess all of him,
she might lose him entirely.
She did not mind if he amused
himself some with Veronica. She
could easily see why Veronica
kittcnish helplcssness would APP
peal to Bret. Hadn't he been at
tracted to her at first, when he
had thought she was Katie Blyn,
because he had thought her help
less, maiden in distress? Bret's
chivalry was old-fashioncd, but it
was delightful. "
The dinner was practically
over: A great deal Of champagne
had been drunk, with many toasts
to the occasion, and for the con-
tinued marital bliss of the host
and hostess. Now it was time
for the ladies to retire to the
drawing room for coffee, leaving
the gentlemen for one last drink
and smoke.
connie rose to give the signal

customs, they lent certain dig
nifty, in spite of the modern note
that her parties achieved as well.

cd They could not have been
more exact opposites. OFTEN Con-
ME was struck by the contrast be-
tween them, Rodney so fair, so
polished, so perfect; Bret, dark
and serious and natural. She wish

friends, her husband and her old
sweetheart. She was happy to-
night, having them both, one by
her side, the other at the far end
Of the table, both, somehow, COM
plimenting her and belonging to
her.
For Rodney had told her, too,
that he still cared for her; that
he always would care.

Connie had told him not to be
ridiculous. Yet, she felt that that
was as it should be. ii was per
fectly natural that Rodney should
remain her admirer, The women
in her world had admirers, as Il
matter of course. 1t would be
rather dull to have no man inter

before he turned and walked out
Of the room.
Connie stared after him; it was
as though she could not move, or
speak, or think. For Bret to be-
have in such'a manner, to, throw
such an insult into her face, to
jeer at their anniversary party.

CHAPTER XIX

CHAPTER XIX
The anniversary dinner was
held III the brown-stone mansion
on Fifth Avenue. 1t was q land
mark pointed out to all sightseers
visiting New York. 1t was more
like an institution than 4 home
and when Connie was not there
it was empty--eXcept for the
many servants.
Upon seeing it first Bret had
remarked that it was very grand.
That had become a set phrase
with him. But it never was said
with enthusiasm, certainly never
with anything approaching awe.
Tonight, seated at one end of
the long lace-covcred table, light
ed with tall candles, dcckcd with
profuSion Of flowers and glis-
tening glass and shining silver,
Bret thought again that this scene
was very grand. The women were
all beautiful in their low-necked
evening gowns, representing the
latest fancy of the Partisan dress
makers; the men all handsome in
their dark coats, white fronts and
ties. Everyone seemed exceeding
ly gay. There was a great deal OF
chatter and laughter, most Of 1t
inconsequential. The nosier such
party became, the more sue
cessful it was apparently. Tonight
the noise hurt Brets head. Or
maybe it WAS because he had had
a few too many Scotch and sodas
before dinner with the gentle
men.
He had not meant to have too
many. He did not approve Of, the
amount of Scotch and soda, and
other beverages, his wife's guests
consumed. But he had been so
bored. And so hurt, because Of
that brief scene upstairs III Goa
MES boudoir.
Connie easily was the lOVelicst
woman present. She mad made
quite 4 SuCCGSS, IlOI pltS WITH iANA
parties, but as a social leader IN
her smart crowd, now that she
was a young matron. She seemed
to enjoy this success, if one could
Judge from her bright eyes, her
flushed cheeks, the way she took
the center of the stage.

Rodney Brandon sat at her
right. 1t was Rodney from whom
Connie had run away to become
Katie Blyn. But he had forgiven
her for that. He had explained
that the papers had discovered
that that girl was not Connie.
He had granted them an inter
view, only because he had hoped
the story might bring her back
to him. She had explained that
she had had to run away, though
she had been sorry to have hurt
him so.
Rodney and Bret liked each
other as well as could be expect

REPORT INCREASE
 IN TUBERCULOSIS
League Informed of Con- ditiOns at Annual Meet-
 ing; Pape President

Increase in the number of cases of tuberculosis was the principal consideration of the Waterbury Anti-Tuberculosis league at its an- nual meeting yesterday. It was re- ported that deaths from the disease increased from Al in 1884; 40 in 1885; i; 39 in 1886; to 45 last year, with 40 per cent more positive cases reported which occaSioned need for 27 clinics as against g clinics in 1886.
 Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, president of the Waterbury board of health, took part in the discussion and will have the board meet with a league committee, William J. Pape and William M. Harris to consider the matter further. One of the prob lens was cited as the period of en- forced waiting before patients can be placed in Sanatoria.
 Officers were reelected as fol- lows: President, William J. Pape; vice-president, Roger s. Sperry; sec retary, Stuart E. Judd; treasurer, Ralph s. Munger. Elizabeth Wade White was elected a director of the league, and MT. Pape was reelected as a director.
 The annual report showed that the cost of operating the league for the year 1887 was $7,779.28. Of this amount, $3,540 was for the salary of the two league nurses, Mrs. Alice s. Jackson and Miss Anna G. Murphy. A total of $1,547 was used for payment for care of patients in institutions, and $1,- 173.76 was expended for various forms of relief and treatment.
