M. VITEAUX TREADS ONCE MORE ON DANGEROUS GROUND. The knowledge that my fellow-em-ployes in M. Viteaux's establishment were confidently of the opinion that I was conducting a campaign, the ultimate aim of which was to capture his heart and hand, did not seriously hurt feelings. In' fact, I was rather indifferent in the matter. I did not care very much what they thought.

This diagnosis of my state of mind caused me to marvel somewhat over the change which had taken place in me since. I began earning my living. There was a period in my life, I know, when, had I been suspected of trying to^ catch M. Viteaux for a husband might have put on my hat and quit my job. But now it did not cause me the Quiver of an eyelash. So great is the power of innocence when coupled with the virtue of self-control.

Of my innocence there could be no doubt. No one who knew me could ever cry sour grapes. I had a husband, or rather, I was married legally to a man, henoe, to a certain extent he was my husband. He did not live'with me, he did not support me. I did not even know his address and he did not know

m'n®

fcut he was my husramd in the »yes of the law and It would not have bene possible for me to have another for the time being. Then, too, no one knew better than I that even if I were free to marry I would not want to wed the little baldheaded Irishman who called himself Viteaux without ever having: been authorized by the ^courts of the land to change his name from Sullivan. As much as I needed some one to care for me I never longed, to marry a millljiery shop. From my youth up I had been in the habit of regarding such shops from another angle, howbeit, a ftominine angle.

Therefore, the jealous glances of the saleswomen did not ruffle me. They might think until they were black in the face, hut Just the same I did not want M. Viteaux and I would not have had him under any circumstances. What worried me a great deal more was how I might put an end to the little Irlshihan's attentions. This, I was compelled to admit, was a serious problem, for my employer was conducting his courtship along lines which were just as new, to me at least, as they were ardent.

Onie of his favorite devices was to send for me to ctftne to his office. Wher\ I arrived he usually was pacing the floor or standing staring out of the window. Frequently he could not remember what he wanted of me, and nearly always he stammered and jumped about the place until I was fearful that he was suffering from another kind 'of heart attack.

One afternoon when he sent for me found him pacing the *floor and gesticulating as though rehearsing

some angry retort that he wished to make to some one, but when he saw me stopped abruptly, and mopped his brow in great embarrassment. "Sit down, my dear Mademoiselle Roxane," he managed finally to say. "I was just thinking about you."

I could not help smiling. "Your thoughts evidently were not pleasant."

He started as though I had shot him. "Why?" he demanded. "It seemed to me that you were angry, M. Viteaux." "And so I was," he declread, "but not with you, Madamoiselle. I was angry with myself. I- was thinking of our last, er—er our last personal conversation here in the office, and that was what made me angry with myself." "I do not understand."

I stared at him in atonishment. "You looked me up." "Yes that is, I did not do it myself. "You had someone else look me up." "Yes. That is it." "Thank you." M. Viteaux squirmed in his seat. "I trust you are not offended, Mademoiselle Roxane," he inquired anxiously. "I hope I have not made ai other blunder."
