""He had been telling mie nothing. I did not know that Karl Shepard was in the city until I heard a voice excaim: 'Don't be foolish," and two strong hands jerked me back. When \ turned I looked into Karl's horror stricken eyes." "So the scoundrel bad been follow- ing you, had he? Great God! . 1 wouldn't have thought that of him--- following his friend's wife is some- thing I would not have believed of Karl Shepard, if my own wife had not told me he had done so." Tried to Explain. "But John I did not tell you that he was following me. I have tried to explain that he hadn't intended me to know that he. was here until he part in your fight over Bess More- land: He thought he couid help me a little in some way to féel right toward you as well as toward him- pelt." "1 doen't understand how he thought he could help you. You are my wife, not his. The only thing he can decently do, if he wants to be a friend to either of us, is to keep away." "If he had, John, I would not be here now tg tell the story."

There was not one word of sympathy for me, not a pitying question as to the cause of my des palr. Instead there was only black rage against his friend and a stub born reiteration that I was either lying to him or was telling him a story of something that I thought I could possibly carry out, but in which I would have suwely failed in the last moment. * For all the many times that I have told John that I consider- ed courage the gredtest of all virtues I can see that he has always denied both moral and physical courage to me, / No Poaching Allowed, "Well, I'll tell you once for all I will not have any man poaching on 4. my preserves and I ¢an't understand why you should think that Karl Shepard's habit of following you around like a }ittle dog has nothing of great import in it. Everybody knows he is in love with you. Men do not do things like this--and this--and this (and he picked up my baskets of white violets and threw them vio- lently out of the window) unless he has something of special interest in doing it.

I pushed him from me. It seemed t0 m# that what John was feeling for me now Was only the pride of possession. I was to him something that "belonged," and as such he thought of me always.

You are slowly making me hate you and do- ing your best to send me directly to the man you affect to despise." 'Where is that letter you are talk- ing about?" he asked, as he suddenly remembered that I had mentioned a letter that Karl Shepard told me to give him. 1 went over and took it out of my jewel case. . "Keep 'it among your treasures," he sneered, do you?!" "Yes," 1 answered, suddenly flar- ing into quick decision, "this letter is one of my greatest treasures for it tells me of a fact of which I had almost despaired---that there is in this world a man who can be unself- ishly sympathetic and if by any pos. sibility he finds hifmselr having undue interest in a woman that can not return it, he tells her so frankly and bids her goodbye.

It didn't seem possible to me that John Gordon would tear up my letter, especially as I knew he had not had time to read a line and quick- thought came another which was tragic in the extreme.

"Really I do not mean to be so brutal, but when I other man than you do for me, I simply go madd." "1 do not care more for anyone on earth than I do for you, John, but I must tell you honestly that I wish I did not care for you.

"If being unhappy is a test of love, then I am very mueh in love with you, dear, nd I must be loving you more than I ever did in my life, for this is the first time girl, that you ever made me unhappy." "But you have been annoyed with me, John, many, many times." "No, never," hé answered stoutly. 1 smiled.
