fell rwnnptly in lovo with her, and his personality l-ivetcd her attention in an insistent way which she made no effort, to oppose. For tho first time a man's passion for her seemed to invest tho man with strength.

To face his savagery and do as she pleased in spite of hiH tierce jealousy she found an exhilaration to command a creature so much bigger than herself, and to feel his strength and not his weakness obeyed, was an excitoiuent.

To look into his savage, somber eyes and melt t.hem with the smile in her own was worth doing, and intoxicating.

One day he asked her to lie his wife, adding that unless she gave him soiue definite answer he would see her no more. She was mnrli interested. "Could you leave me anil not seo me again?" she asked. ••Yes." •'Would von shoot vourself?" "No."

She felt aggrieved. After a pause she asked. "Do von love me'.'" "Yes." His teeth were set. his face pale, and he looked at her as if he hated her.

Her breath quickened. "Why do you hurry me so?" "Because I will be inaue a fool by no woman."

A throb of fear went through her. She flung her head back and made auswer, "You may go at once," and then, because his eyes frightened her, she began to cry and—"How do you expect one to decide at once like that, if she loves yon? 1 can't, and I won't—you can go." "How much time do yon want?" "I don't know." "I will wait a while." "Much better go. I won't lie pnt on time. I don't think I shall care for you, anyhow, and even if I did you aro so ugly maybe 1 would not marry. Go away and let me alone." She spoke in a frightened rush. "Don't be foolish."ho answered I will wait—a while."

During the "while" he saw a great deal of her he curbed his temper, was always gentle, always devoted, tnade no effort to kiss her, half strangled a man at the club who suggested that all actresses were alike, and looked at her half the time as if he hated her.

Sho grew frightened and meek, and made an exhaustive study of his tastes. One day he spoke harshly to her she cried out that he must not—that she loved him.

Thereat he took her in his arms, kissed her and said, "Will you be my wife?" A mouth from that time sho married him.

Her manager protested, and a good deal of money was paid over. To the wife the manager said, "You are a fool if you ever want to come back to the stage let me know."

Demmon carried her oil to Europe. He was strong and gentle and devoted. There was little trace of his savagery, except in a fiercely jealous guardianship over her.

Now and then he ordered her around. Once she protested vehemently he looked at her and answered, "You forget you belong to me."

He gave her all tho money shy wanted bought her anything she fancied, and insisted upon her dressing richly and indulging extravagances, but once, when she received a check for a story sho had written, he tore the bit of paper in pieces, saying: "I will give you all the money you want! Don't forget!"

She was happy—oh. yes. Her one thought was to please liiiu, and to please him made her happy. She gave up all her own fancies, and endeavored only to meet his moods. She kept up all of the pretty jnrt.ul.avce and caprice that had pleased him originally, because sometimes it amused him to see her childish aud exacting—she knew when to bo silent, though, and how to efface herself.

She read the papers faithfully, and, by dint of study and close attention to a few political arguments within earshot of which sho came, she got a fair grasp of the principles of tho party opposite to her husband's, and argued with him very well.

To such meu as he presented she made herself charming—he liked to have other men admire her herself, sho took no interest in attracting them, and she was always a bit afraid of being too successful and so annoying her husband. Besides, attention from other men made her heart ache her husband loved her dearly, but lie did not tell her so very often, and sometimes when she made uiistaKes he called her stupid.

Of course she did make mistakes sometimes. Being very anxious to please him, her instinct was not always '.rue. There were times when he liked to have her creep to tho side of his chair and push her soft hair against his face, saying nothing meanwhile, unless the littli*. caressing breath from her lips could be called speech but then again this annoyed him, and he had to be let alone.

Being very fond of him, it was hard to come near or pass him without reaching out a hand to touch his shoulder or cheek, and this fretted him dreadfnlly when he was not iu the mood. Also there were times when she wanted him to take her in his arms and be good to her, and find out how sho felt, or when she wanted to cry aud bo miserable and be petted and coaxed out of it all this was childish aud foolish, bat—oh, dear! how her heart ached sometimes.

He loved her—of course eho knew that —so there was no need that ho should tell her so all the time besides, he did toll her what an unfailingly attractive companion he found her, and ho praised her tact and sense aud tho way she kept her pretty looks.

Sho was happy when she was with him, only happy when sho pleased him and she used to cry her pillow wet very often.

At the coming of the child her husband was distinctly displeased when it died the mother grew sullen.

They got back to America a letter from her old manager inclosed a contract for the earning season. She signed, left all her jewels, and with her maid started for New Orleans.—Emma V. 8heridan.
