But | "whem ome considers how much of mental strain I had endured and real- izes Bow exhausted I must have been 'ft 1s not at all wonderful. I awoke in the morning much re- freshed and after I had made my toilet I felt much more able to cope with the situation which confronted me than I had felt since 1 read Ar- thur's letter, and after breakfast I went to my seat to try to think out what 1 should do. The first thing 1 did was to read the letter over carefully. What revelation was contained in it! | al How | much of human weakness and selfish- | hess was written between the lines! How like a man to write such a let- | ter after having been' guilty of such an act!. Isn't it strange that women are so much lesa selfish than men? to the average woman and the aver- age man---the average man and wo- man you know and the verage man and woman I know. that the woman under almost any cir- cumstances will consider her band chiefly in what she does? And fan't it true that the man---the aver- angle man--will gonsider Imself first? 1 suppose (hpi partly the survival of long yearf of woman's alleged in- feriority to man; of centuries of wo- gean's subjection to man; of mafll's' guppo ad responsibility for the main- tenance of the home But herein does not lie the full explanation.

After ull. was I Arthur's superior? aud I not trifled with another man's affections, if not openly, at least sec- retly. Would Mr' Gordon have redch- od the point where he was ready to throw himself at my feet if I had not encouraged him. In a sense, then, § was as bad as Arthur, if, as Ar- thur said, he had done nothing worge 'than doubt the wisdom of our mar- riage and gone away to settle the matter all alone. Had I not endea- vored to settle the matter of our marriage by allowing another man to make love to me? So far from being my husband's superior it seem- | ed that in one Fespect, at least, I was | more selfish than he. satisfied with the man I had mar-| ried. I had doubted him and flirted with another man. One man's love | was not enough for me. 1 wanted the love of another.. And if i had gained that other man's love would I have stopped then?

I read the letter the third time. -Poor Arthur! He was indeed broken hearted. I wondered how he would feel if he knew I had been ill. "I will write to him and tell him," I exclaimed to myself. "I will describe to him in detail how for days I lin- gered on the brink of the grave; how I longed for the touch of his hand; for. the soothing words of loye 'which every good husband utters te his wife in times of trouble.

What a cat I was! Arthur did not know that Miss Regnier was assuming a guardianship over me. On the contrary, he had provided amply for me. He had-deposited funds with the hotel management and had in- structed them to notify me of the deposit, Surely Fecould not be up to the average of womanhood, for was Ij not about to commit a most, ungener- | ous act?
