The house looked to be untenant-1
ed. The halls echoed with un-l
furnished nudity as the two en- j
tered. They walked familiarly j
into an oblong room, which was'
as barren as the hall with tho ex-1
ception that it contained a small!
imitation mahogany table and 1
two uncertain chairs.
The girl laughed half hysterically
n* she removed her hat and;
eat down, resting both elbows on
the table.

do it. It's better to end it?bet- j
ter for both of us. Y ou couldn't1
make things right, and somehow
J seem to have developed a con-,

The man tapped a call belt on
the taolo and a diminutive ('hi- j
liamsn ambled through the open'
door. The man and the woman,
ordered chop soov ami ton.

"1 can't live without you. Think I

for two years. Why did I leave
all the set I knew and take the'

it wa?n"t to see more of you f Do
you remember our Sunday luncheons

was growing worse every hour. :
Her parents were sure she would I <

that she could not turn over in j

moment was a study for me, but j
I thought of Chamberlain's Colic,

and as a last resort prescribed it. 1
The most wonderful result was

the official belt buckle that he
gave you? Ah, but those were i
good old days ! ilallie, how can
you forget them?" <
All enthusiasm died from her
face as his words brought her
back to the present. She sat up
very straight. "At lirst," she said i
slowly, "i just loved you and i
never thought of anything else. J i
I went on and on, and gradually <
1 couldn't see my future. Always 1
before 1 thought I would be m
something of a writer. Put after i

you instead of success. Perhaps i
if I had belonged to some one, l
you would not have filled every i
crevice as you did; but I didn't
you know. There wasn't a soul |
who cared, unless it was the <
people to whom 1 paid my board. <
And then after a while?God,

did not say a word about?about i

yei that awful dread began toj
come over me of the ultimate >
woman?the woman you must it

"Halite, child," he broke out ' J
impetuously, "it isn't my fault, i >
1 pwear it isn't. You don't uu I
derstand." 1
"Oh, yes," she sighed wearily,! 1
"I do understand. and that isli
woman for him ! He told her
this that flight between the first
and aecoud acts of "L'Aiglon."
"I want you to be my wife, my
comrade," lie said in hi? low,even
voice. ' ! hail never expected to
marry unless I found a woman
whom I thought could be both to
me and until I met yoti that
seemed doubtful. I believe I
appreciate you. You have been
casting your pearls before swine ;

an worthy of you. I shall make
it mv one study, next, to my profession,

She turned the leaves of her
program and her mouth twitched j
convulsively. So he knew she j
cared for him. Such is man.

It was this l.o.v isii incompetency!
which appea'ud to the maternal
instinct of women. Hallie Doye

an the battlefield scene. A soft
haze hung over the stage.

her companion was paying. "My!
jove, that iri peculiar."
i here w?6 an uneasy stir,
through the house Mademoisella
Secrard paused and looked
ahout her uncertainly.
"What is^the mutter,"' asked I
M illie, alarmed, "hj* there a
li re ?*'
As she ?poke the curtain was
suddenly rung down, and an
injinaculate man in e\ening dress
was addressing the audience

conflagration jback d the stage. j

Women screamed and some
fainted. Th? re was a rusk for the'
exit. The ' moke began pour- [

llallie and Kheicnrd were standing
on their cl.air*.
' It is nothing serious,', he said,'
raising his voir to be 1 eard above i
the din. "Don't bo alarmed.)
We .vili vruil until these cattle j
regain their senses.''
Iiailie was cou^hin^ with the,
smoke, bu: !. a.:.- unporturhe !

"Ilallie, 1 must {.to behind the
scenes. An interview with So-1
-aid at nnoh a time would be invaluable.
Vci will net ho afraid?
lust stand quietly where you are"
All this he was compelled to
shout, for the confusion had in- I
creased.
For a moment the jnr! looked
after her escort bewildered. She
could scarcely realize that he I
meant to l<-av? her alone at such'
a time. The aloofness of the
man's mentality appalled hor.l
then some one iron) behind her,
jostled against her chair, and she!
fell forward, catching the back
of the seat in front. She crouched
there between the ohairn to
keep from being trampled on,and
'ay very quietly while the place
became black with amoke.
Presently the noise subsided'
somewhat Her head felt dizzy.
She straightened up with difficulty
and peered through the smoke
The place was quite deserted.
Presently she saw two men ta'kmg
excitedly midway up the.
aisle. Hallie staggered toward
them. Simultaneously they saw
her, and both uttered her name I
1
HJPPPf
and sprang toward her. One of
them was Carl. She saw him
only iiud reached out her hand
to him, calling his name as she
had done that day at the car. For
a moment they clung to each
other like children; and ignoring
the other man, the danger of
their situation?everything, their
lips met, which sealed the sudden
reconciliation. The fireman was
calling to them roughly. The
other man had disappeared.
As they stepped into a carriage
some distance from the line of
engines surrounding the theatre,
Hailio broke the silence for the
first time.
''He was Ilheicard; you w?re
talking with Frnest Kheicard."
"1 found him searching for you
as I was doing," said Carl. "In
heaven's name how carne him to!
leave you?"
'"low came you to know I was
in the theatre?"
"I had kef! watching y u from
the back of our box all the evening.

asked helplessly. lie drew her
toward him tenderly. -To a

so, only I didn't quite know it.

have vow with me in the old days
that I did not tlnnk it possible
that I could lose von. Are you
satisfied to go,dear?"
lie reached out and turned her
lace to the light, dropping his
hands limply as he did so, with
an exclaiinalion halfol awe, half
adoration; lor in that moment the
woman came u> a lull realization
ot the greatness of her love; her
lace had caught something ol the
supernal, and the man tell back
abashed at it.
