CHAPTER X. (Continued.) With both hands outstretched, she flattered towards Mathilde, who had been studying ,some unusual signs of discomposure in her husband's manner, but of what kind she could cot exactly define. "I hardly think we require an introduction, the little woman said, holdin? Mathüde's hands. I am sure that Jem must have told you of his cousin Nellie, j hasn't he?" Even if Mathilde had been readier with an answer than she was, it would have been her husband who spoke first, and at the sound of his voice she kuew that there was war in it. "How am I to win forgiveness if I plead guilty to never having done so? Let me atone now, and present my cousin. Miss Nellie Fearon, who in the foolish days of her teens, once thought that she could put up with my humble self as a fiance, but who, under stress ' of duty, changed her mind. It was rather a heavy-handed blow from a man to a woman, and Mathilde knew that the woman felt it by the suddenness with which her hands were dropped, and by the wavering of her color. Her smile, however, never wavered, and ahe was ready enough with a retort. 0h, you bad man, how can you make me look so idiotic, and the first time, too, that your w'fe has me", me!' But now Mrs. Herbert came to her rescue. "Nellie, dear, do let James speak to Mr. Harter," and now it was the parDon's turn to greet the husband, and be introduced to the wife. As they took their places at table, Mathilde noted with admiration a sign of Mrs. Herbert's skill. The table was perfectly round, and there being no seat directly facing Stewart's the difficulty of place was avoided. The meal was not as tedious as she had expected, and it did not seem long before the women were back by the drawing-room fire, and the men safe in the smoking-room. Miss Fearon fidgetted about, carefully arranged a pile of soft cushions, glanced at a fashion paper, and then cooed : "Flora, dear. I am sure you will excuse me if I run away for a few moments to finish a little scribble for the post." and with a smile she fluttered out of the room. Then, as Mrs. Herbert leaned back in her chair and folded her hands, Mathilde felt that she Avas delivered into the hands of the enemy, and prepared for action. The attack began at once. I am sorryq to hear that you were not satisfied with your rooms. If "you had told me so at once I could have given directions about it then, without giving Jtmes the trouble of speaking to the tousekeeper." Here was. in truth, a weak joint in her armor. Mathilde devoutly hoped that the other might be too short-sighted to aee her rosy confusion. "Oh, the rooms are delightful." she answered hastily. "But one of my husband's fads U space, and he is always preading himself and his possessions oVer as much ground as possible." "Indeed," came very dryly from the th(-r. "I should hardly ha.e thought that he had been accustomed of late to auch spacious mansions." But now her antagonist spoke with more spirit. "It may be the deprivations of the last ten yearst which have deepened his zest for the comfortable and pleasant things f life. You can hardly understand, I think, how much he enjoys everything." The widow sighed aggressively : , "No doubt he enjoys the change of prospects, " but he should remember that ie uncertainties of life which gave him these prospects may also make them as ashes in his mouth." Mathilde suddenly saw that she had been all but openly dwelling on the benefits caused by the death of her listener's husband, and gasped horrorstruck : "Oh. I did not mean that he wis not sorry for jour loss." "It does not matter," the other answered with a smile of patient resignation, then with a return to her more mundane manner, she added, "I trust, my dear, that the unexpected meeting with dear Nellie would not distress your husband. It was so tupid ia me not to prepare him for ir," "Why should it distress him?" The question was short and incisive. Mrs. Herbert seemed a bit flustered. "Why, my dear, don't you know? I wouldn't for the world make any trouble, and I would not have spoken if I had not thought that you knew ; but at the time of his" she hesitated "of his misfortune, he wai engaged to Nellie, and her parents Insited on breaking of the match. Poor, dear Nellie behaved very sweetly about it. and wrote him the most touching letter Imaginable. "How romantic!' remarked 3athilde. "And but for me it would have been quite the orthodox ending to the third .volume, to-night." "Oh, my dear, I am sjre " Mrrl ? j i . luauäs; uuui worry yourseii ; 1 am not of a jealous disposition." Mrs. Herbert looked rdieved. "How sensible ! And now, my dear, as we are -jetting on so well together, just let me say one little thing cjuietly to you. You'll promise me cot to mind, won't you?" This is never a reassuring question. and Mathilde answered wisely, "We'll see." "Oh, no; I'm sure yu won't. You see I have been feeling all the evening that It would be kinder to tell you that En flisb ladies don't wear so much jewelry on . quiet occasions like this. Of course I understand that it-is quite natural under the circumstances, but strangers might be au:nsed." Mathilde was by now thoroughly roused, and spoke with each word clear Ij: "I appreciate to the full the kindness of ycur intentions. Perhaps It will re lieve you to know that I was sophisticat ed enough to be aware that there were unsuitable ornaments for the occasion, and only wore them at the express wish of Sir James " Here, fortunately, perhaps, for the in teres ts of peace, the men made their ap pearance, and the duel was suspended. That first night under her husband's roof Mathilde suffered a terrible lapse from heroism and cried herself to sleep in regular school-girl fashion. CHAPTER XI. When Matilde looked back on those Brst weeks spent nt Orkwell thay seemed have passed iu a far easier fashion than she had anticipated. There were morning hours spent beside ir James' arm-chair in his room, or mid lay ones by the bath-chair that he loved ; o have wheeled into a great conservatory, .ihere he could bask in the sun, and see I te choicest collection of flowers from the t uses which he had made famous in the u cnty. More than once or twice Stewart came . their little group, and surprised a tenr t expansiveness in her face and voice, hich faded at his approach into the fa Jiiar, half-shy, half-reserved dignity. Then: there were long outdoor hours j assed in her husband's society, either t ding or driving about the country, and

The first time that Mathilde had been alone with Stewart after the evening of their arrival. Miss Feasoa formed the topic of their conversation. They were walking through the beech woods, chatting, when Stewart gave an abrupt turn to her thoughts by asking: "What did you think of the surprise last night?" "What surprise?" she retorted, al though she guessed what he meant. "The reappearance upon the scene of my first love. I wonder why it was done," he went on thoughtfully. Then. after u moment's pause: "Did you think me very brutal to her?" Ma.hilde's face had hardened, and her voice vas very cold. "I sipposed that there was some feel ing on your part which caused, and perhaps justified, your outspoken remark. Otherwise, I must confess I think it might have been better left unsaid. He cast a keen, sidewise glance at her, and then laughed gaily. "You thought it the ground-swell of some past storm of lover's quarrel. Poor little Nellie! She was about as much a present issue in my life as the rabbits I petted as a child. No, my remark was a preventive one as to any mischief that they might be up to with you." "Mrs. Herbert did try it a bit after dinner," she agreed, in a less stony voice. "But why should you include Miss Fearon? She must have cared for you once, even if meeting you again in that fashion was not painful to her. Again he laughed. "If you will persist in constructing a romance out of the affair, you must have the whole of it You needn't distress yourself about Nellie's feelings. If she minds anything now, it is the loss, not of me, but of the heir. Then, she was glad enongh to have a good excuse to get rid of me, for she had had a bit of success in town, and thought that she might do bet ter than a younger son. And I, for my part, had been learning her unreality for so long that after her valedictory letter she seemed to fade from my mind like an old photograph. The loss of her, certainly, hardly added a pang to those of the debr.cle." "But thai does not explain why you distrust her now. "It's not so easy to explain. It's more an instinct than a reason, but jour safest plan is to take her enmity for granted." "That seems a rule of universal appli cation," öhe answered, bitterly. "What, not losing heart already, when you have swept all before you with my father?" "I am not losing heart," was the proud answer. Then she added somewhat wistfully : "I really think he likes me." "Improbable as it seems, I really think he does," he retorted, looking into her face as he put out his hand to Lelp her over a stile, with a glance that brought yn one of her shy fits, and set her talking to the Irish setter, Nvmad, whom she had adopted as her own special follower and friend. The first change in the situation came when, one morning at breakfast, Stewart looked up from his correspondence, never very large, to announce generally: "Here's a letter from Norman, saying tLat he is coming over from Paris to see me. Wonder how he heard of my getting home, for though I have been meaning to write to him ever since I came, I haven't done so." Mathilde, looking up as her husband spoke, saw a tell-tale change of color on Nellie's face, saw, too, an interchanged glance between the two women which left her no further doubt as to their secret alliance. It was only a tiomentary thing, then Nellie spoke in her pretty, babbling fashion. "Oh, I hope you won't thing me a dreadful gossip, but I was writing to him the other day about some old paste buttons that he is getting me, and I put in all our news to fill up. How you had come back after all sorts of hard work and roughing it, with a Canadian vife who looked like a princess, and had taken everyone's heart by storm." Mathilde had heard them speak before now of this Norman Stewart, cousin, and after James, heir, now attache over In Paris. This news of bis approaching visit filled her with grave misgivings, for his tastes were said to be artistic, and she feared their orbit might have crossed. "What role shall I have to play with him? My Faris life must be altogether hidden, I suppose?' she asked her husband anxiously, as they paced the south terrace, sunny and sheltered on this winter morning, and well removed from all chance of listeners. "I've been thinking it over," he answered, "and I don't see why you should not be altogether your self with him. As I said before, the more you stick to the truth about yourself, save for the last five years, the simpler it all is." "A large exception," she said. "Then the role of the 'habitant' woman is altogethed dropped." "That is what I wished from the firsi," he agreed gravely. She paced on in .silence, staring out over the quiet, dim winter landscape that stretched below, with eyes that had in them the sullen fire of one held in bondage. Suddenly she spoke. "What are your feelings about this cousin? Do you consider him a friend or an enemy?" He was not quick to answer her. "We grew up together, and were always chums. When the crash came, he tried, in a mild way, to help me, and came and saw me off at Liverpool. 1 have every reason to consiutr him a friend, and his letter is very cordial ; and yet he is the next heir to me, and is in communication with those two. He might very well think that he, too, would have a shy at the disposable cash. Yes, we must both be on our guard." "Oh, what a wretched entanglement it is ! she broke out. "How much better it would have been if you had come home alone and faced it out. Anything would have been better than this." "Not at all," he remarked with urbanity. "Fancy life in this cheerful mansion, unenlivened by your society, or by the uncertainties of warfare." "That is what a pickpocket might say," she retorted. "Exactly so," he agreed. "I always had a strong fellow-feeling for the criminal classes. But I am forgetting one piece of good news for you. My father has the solicitor over this morning to finish up the business of the will in my favor. What do you think of that?" They were standing by the balustrade, facing each other, and she looked up at him and marked the change wrought in him since those first sea days, the cheer ful energy replacing the old cynicism. "I am very glad," ahe said simply. That afternoon, Stewart, Laving gone off on some business of the estate, Mathilde spent in her own sitting-room. As the tea-hour approached she sat struggling with a desire to have her tea brought to her here, instead of going down j to the library.

now she hated that trlllght tea-time, when a certain amount of conversation had to he got through, and she thought herself lucky if she could turn Mrs. Herbert on to the subject, of missions, or Miss Fearon on chiffons, rather than have to answer questions of a personal nature. She started at her maid's appearance to know if j-he would go down to tea. "Oh, yes, I suppose so," she answered lazily, and then made a move in the abrupt fashion of one resisting the temptation to dolrtr.

JW I Part of the house was built round a courtyard, and on the upper stories, corridors ran round this square. The servants had been later than usual in lighting up, and the corridor that she passed along was almost in darkness. There were light below though, and as she glanced carelessly down, she looked across a near angle into the room which Stewart had taken for his own den. One of the candles on the writing table had apparently been hastily lighted, and the shade not replaced. Against the table Stewart was leaning, still in his riding things. Iiis back w&s turned to the window so that she would not see his face, but she saw that his hand rested on the shoulder of Nellie Fearon, who stood quite close to him, her pretty, upturned face wet with tears, and lit by a depth of feeling that Mathilde would not have supposed to be a possible outcome of her nature. She stood there in the chill, dusky gallery, with her eyes fixed on the tableau framed in the lighted window below. So this was the reality, and the loyal comradeship and alliance was the pretense. (To be continued.) ORIGIN OF THE DOG. In Ills "Wolf Daya He Wan a HanfferOn of the Camp of Slen. As to the origin of the dog we should be Inclined to conjecture, says the Abolitionist, that the presence of wolve3 as hangers on of the camps of primitive man suggested to him the possibility of their domestication, and then by feeding them directly from his hand when hard pressed by hunger, or by taking charge of and bringing up the wolf cuts, some wolves became domesticated, as they seem to be now among the Indians and Eskimos, and from these domesticated wolves the dog race of that region was gradually evolved, choice In breeding being employed to develop the qualities most useful to man. It must be remembered that the remarkable thing about the dog is not the survival of its primary instinct, the instinct of the ctxze, but the substitution as a dominant motive of some ruling aim outside itself adopted to please its master and friend, man. To illustrate what we mean, let us take the collie or sheep dog, which, as we have seen, comes very directly from the wolf and retain the physical evidence of this origin. The dominant instinct of the wolf is to chase and Hill and eat sheep whenever he sees them, but this dominant natural instinct, while It does break out In an occasional collie, is yet in the great majority of collies completely overcome by a desire to satisfy his master's confidence and merit his master's approval by showing himself to be the guardian, protector and guide of the flock. The failure of a few collies, the success of the majority, to resist the primary instinct to chase and kill the sheep, the foresight and skill with which the guilty dogs endeavor to conceal their sins, their evident consciousness of gulL, their almost human fhame when discovered, point to a moral nature in the making. When we come to think of. It the whole-hearted devotion of the collie to his divinity man and to what the dog nature knows of th6 moral law reads often a much-needed lesson to his master. A collie has been known to remain without food guarding the flock and to be found by his master after days of starvation deliberately endured rather than leave his charge, only able to crawl to his feet and die. Even the strong maternal instinct has been unable to overcome the collie's sense of duty, and a collie, in charge of sheep, that has pupped on the way has repeatedly been proved true to her charge, giving her primary attention to the flock and her secondary attention to her puppies. The capacity for enforcing order and discipline in the flock 13 another very human and very remarkable quality In the collie, not derived, apparently. from its wolf ancestry. The collie knows the art of government. His woolly dependents are trained to obey hi3 slightest orders and to accept his will as law. He rules them resolutely but kindly and, while he punishes Insubordination, will risk his life to protect them. The sheep dog in for eign lands, for Instance, In the Spanish Pyrenees or the Sierra, will unhesitatingly face the wolf or even the bear, with a kingly readiness to sacrifice himself in defense of his otherwise defenseless subjects. Trouble Averted. A Washington man, much given to long foot tours through Virginia, once came upon an unkempt and melancholy-looking person stretched under a tree, who, upon the approach of the pedestrian, immediately executed a "hurry touch" for a dime. Now the Washington man had, a short distance back, been talking to a prosperous farmer, who had complained of the difficulty of obtaining labor; accordingly he said to the hobo as he handed him the coin: "About half a mile down, my friend, there's a farmer, looking for men to help him in his fields." The melancholy looking person bowed as politely as possible, considering his sitting posture, and replied: "Thanks. I might er strolled down that way accidental-like." Harper's Magazine. Quickly Solved. "I dislike publicity," declared a philanthropist who had just donated $1 to the public library fund, "but If you will promise to put the notice where it won't be generally read I will let you state the amount I have given." "That's easy," answered the city editor. "We'll put It In our funny column." Birmingham Age-Herald. Tbe Worn, "Everyone despises mere fair-weather friends." "I don't know.

Give (he Girl a Square Deal. The very best post-graduate course that any girl could be given, says a writer In the Philadelphia Bulletin, would be a year in her father's office, and If every girl could have that edu cation we should not have to shed so many tears over the misfortune of middle-aged women who have been robbed of their all by men who be guile them Into Investing In schemes that should not have taken In a baby.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but even If they do marry it is no guaranty against want. Not every man who marries Is capable of supporting a wife, and even if he Is, men fall sick, or die, and often a weman Is suddenly confronted with the necessity of not only earning bread and butter for herself, but for the Invalid husband and a houseful of children, when she has been taught no way on earth of making a penny. Even if a girl does marry, her moth er seldom -takes the trouble to prepare her for It. Yet every woman knows that happiness and success In matrimony depend mainly upon the wife knowing her business, being a good manager, a good housekeeper, a good

cook. No father set3 his son out to practice law or medicine without having studied the science of It, yet a mother will let her datighter marry without having taught her the first thing about how to run a home. It isn't fair, It isn't Just, it isn't kind to send a poor, little, helpless girl out into the world to ruin her chances of happiness and success through ignorance. She need3 all the help she can get, and it's up to her parents to give It to h-r. Give the daughter a square deal. Prevent lias Ravellno. A better way than binding to prolong the usefulness of a Smyrna rug that has been whipped out at the ends and has a good center is to cut off old binding and ravel until you have about three of four inches of warp. Begin at one edge and take up six strands of warp and, with the aid of a crochet or button hook, knot securely strands In each hand and pulling In opposite directions the knot will slide closer to the ring and prevent the "filler" from raveling. Continue to tie the strands until the warp Is all knotted. Good Lotion for Hough Hand. An excellent lotion that can be made at home and keeps indefinitely without spoiling can be made from eight tablespoonful3 of rose water, a tablespoonful of glycerin and one drachm of benzoin. Besides being soothing to skin that roughens easily, this lotion Is excellent to wipe off the face when one wishes to free It from soil In traveling, or when out on a dusty shopping tour. A tiny medicine flask can be filled with It and carried In the pocket or bag. How Women Are Swindled, A Chicago paper glve3 the list of .inen in different cities of the country who are known to be fond of editions de luxe and are often cajoled out of large sums of money. One woman Is said to have made $150,000 out of her 40 per cent commissions on such books. A Chicago woman paid $22,000 for a set of book3 that cost $500, certain additions having been made to the books in the way of Illustrations and different fly leaves. To Keep Flower Frenh.

One inveterate lover of flowers, however, says that if you are going to put anything lnlo the water in which they are kept the most effective thing is a lump of sugar. Tito Fall Hat. Lifts Love Censorship. Stepmothers indeed, any mother at all must not interfere with the lovemaking of their sons and daughters, according to Mayor Cooper, of Reading, a suburb of Cincinnati, who fined a mother because she had visited the home of her son's sweetheart at 10 o'clock one night and had brought the boy home by the ear. Incidentally, the Mayor read a lecture to all mothers. In which he held that they had

no right to pry Into the love affairs of their sons and daughters. He declared he would punish severely any one brought before him on sucli a charge. How Teeth Are Itulned. A dental surgeon expressed the opinion In the Dundee Advertiser that the chief cause of the Increase of dental troubles In recent years 13 that the bread now generally used Is made from roller ground flour. He writes: "Some years ago I discovered that there is an Increase of about 40 per cent during mastication In the acidity of bread produced from roller flour, whereas there is no such Increase when the bread Is composed of stonemade flour. Further, I kept In an Incubator, at the temperature of the mouth, teeth Imbedded In chewed bread made from roller flour and from stone-made flour. - Now, the teeth , Imbedded In the bread made from oldfashioned stone-made flour decayed but slowly, whereas- those imbedded In the bread made from modern roller flour decayed rapidly." A crust of bread helps to clean out a sticky bread pan. Salt added to starch Is responsible for the glos3 on linen when It Is Ironed. Unbleached calico shrinks in the wash. Allow an extra inch to each yard In making it up, to allow for this. Apply the white of an egg with a ca.mel'8-halr brush to fly specks on gilt frames and they will disappear. To clean pewter, wash It well with hot water, rub It with fine sand and, when dry, polish it with leather. It's a good idea to save all soap wrappers. Smooth hot flatlrons by rubbing them over the soapy paper. After washing the l2mp chimney polish it with dry salt. It makes the glass bright and wlllprevent Its breaking. If you accidentally spill ice cream on a silk waist try using alcohol to remove the grease blemish. It also removes a can.ly or gum blemish. Do not place a bed against the wall. Draw it out into the room, even If it is placed against the wall during the day. If one faces the wall he Inhales his own breath over and over, which Is very unhealthy. Ivory knife handles that have become yellowed by constant washing may usually bo whitened by a rubbing

with emery paper and a polishing with chamois. When running brass rods through window curtains put an old glove finger over the end that Is being pushed through the hem. Unless this is done the material is apt to tear. Gas burners, like other things, are likely to get dirty. Often there is quite a little collection of rubbish on them and If this is cleared away the Improvement In the light is noticeable. If your furniture has grown dull and streaked try rubbing up with a flannel dipped In equal parts of turpentine and coal oil. It polishes quickly and much more cheaply than expensive polishes. If furniture look3 smeary after polishing you may be pretty certain that too much polish was used. Very little, indeed, Is really needed; only just enough to smear quite thinly over the surface.

Teach Dying Children. On the basis of recent Investigations the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declare, in a statement just Issued, that the United States Is paying annually $7,500,000 for the education of more than 1,000,000 children who will die from tuberculosis before they reach the age of 18.

The Xetv Surplice Front Coat. A winter garment with but one fastening, and that well below the waist, seems a rather preposterous notion, but many of the smartest tailored models for fall are made in this way. The right front of the coat crosses the left in a surplice effect, the fastenlag being arranged at the hip. These loose coats, held together only at the hip, require a master hand in the cutting in order to hold their position correctly on the figure seated or standing. Thi3 princess model with the surplice front and single fastening shows the new style In a very pleasing mannet.

While Charles Bronneberg and O. K. Brennlck, of Chesterfield, were driving In Anderson their horss was struck and lntsantly killed by a suburban street car. The occupants of the- buggy escaped with slight bruises. ' In an attempt to recover a piece of bread which had fallen into a tub of water, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hile, . at Kendallville, toppled over into the tub and narrowly escaped death by drowning. Oswald, the 8-year-old son of Rev. A. A. Turner, at Elkhart, narrowly escaped death when he tumbled into a deep cistern at the rear of the house. A younger brother saw him fall and gave the alarm in time to get assistance. Herman Fleshman, the 13-year-old boh of Dr. Lyman Fleshman, of Corydon, lost his right arm while operating a mowing machine. The horses attached to the machine became frightened, throwing the boy in front of the knife. Mrs. Bert Hadley, of liogansport, was ill in bed when her home caught fire, and the invalid was carried from the burning house, to the home of a neighbor. The fire was extinguished in time to prevent the destruction of the home. Mrs. William Fletcher, of Waterloo, was frightfully burned by the explosion of a gasoline stove, but Is expected to recover. The corset the woman was wearing is believed to have protected her body sufficiently to avert fatal consequences.
