T was natural that during the fort- night following upon Mrs. Traf- ford's death Paula's more personal affairs should recede to the back- ground. Trafford's grief for his wife was deep and sincere, all the more so from the circumstances In which she had died. The mere mention of Win- ship's name would have' been an In- trusion upon sorrow. But as the days went by and life seemed to resume its normal routine it became impossible to ignore the fact that such a subject could not be for gotten. . There was an uneasy sense of it In the minds of all. The very reticence with whieh some themes were avoided, the very skill by which oth- ers were touched upon with tact, heightened . the perception that it was among them, like an invisible presence, at all times when they came together. If Paula and her father were alone, they kept silence--a guarded, conscious silence--in which the only spontaneous element was the dread of what might follow. upon speech. Their affection for each other was not diminished. It was only changed by the loss of the old clear strain of confidence. They were falling into that painful mutual attitude In which each looks for the other's move. Trafford's lack of action was dip! tic. He had lived through NUBERT L.

Paula was dumb only be- cause she did not know what to say. When Trafford spoke at last it was for the reason that he thought he had found his way. He had entered Paula's boudoir one morning on some unim- portant errand connected with the day's domestic affairs. "And, by the w.}," he said casually as he turned to leave her, "how long will it take you to close up this house? I have important business that will re- quire our going to America." For a few seconds she made no re spouse, but it seemed to Trafford as if her slight black robed tigure became more erect against the tints of white and rose and geld which formed the background. "Then we shouldn't go to Versailles," she sald when she had found voice. "We should be away al! summer." "Ol, yes; longer in all prebability." "All winter too?" "Well, I meant indefinitely." "And not live in this * house any more?" "It Isn't necessary to say as much as that. We can close it and leave it with the caretakers. If ever we want fo come back to it, we can. It was Your poor mother's idea more than mine from the very first.

He tavued fully round and oulronted her. "1 thought it wight have that ef- feet." he sald quietly.

"THere's one thing'I shouldn't do. | shouldnt ally myself with a man who could never stand toward my own fa- ther otherwise than with a drawn sword in his hand." "I'm sure he doesn't, papa." "And Iknow he does. I take it for granted that the man is neither a coward nor a fool, You'll 'allow per- haps "that 1 have some acquaintance with human nature. I know his type and I know his breed. He can't have inherited any other feeling toward me than one of revenge. Mind you, I don't say that I blame him much, not any more than I should blame the ser- pent that bites with polson. I warn you. Have anything more to do with this man and the struggle ceases to be between you and me. It passes fo me and him, and it will last till one or other of us is alone on the field with the victory." "But is there no such thing as for giveness, papa?' "No--not among men, not in' busi ness. There it isn't even the eye for the eye and the tooth for 'the tooth. It's the trick in the dark or the stab fn the back or any other means that com- mends itself.

There are others who make use of the Winship defeat to beg for public sym- pathy in their own, and they get it. You've only to look through the news- papers and magazines te see it.
