Codyritbt. IPOS. 1004. was upon tms same incomplete awn yet Tenacious cnam mat nis mina orked as be traversed tbe familiar treets and at last gained the house he had so easily learned to call home. As he inserted the latchkey and felt It more smoothly In the lock a momen tary revolt against his own Judgment. his orrn censorship, swung him sharply toward reaction. But it is only the blind who can walk -without a tremor on the edge of an abyss, and there was no longer a bandage across his eyes The reaction flared up like a strip of lighted paper; then, like a strip of lighted paper, it dropped back to ashes He pur bed the door open and slowly crossed the hall, The mounting of a staircase is often the index to a man's state of mind. As Loder ascended tbe stairs of Chilcote's house his shoulders lacked their stiff ness, his head was no longer erect. He moved as though his feet were weighted. He had ceased to be the man of achievement whose smallest opinion compels consideration. In the privacy of solitude be was the mere human flotsam to which be had once compared himself tbe flotsam that, dreaming It has found a harbor, wakes to find Itself the prey of the Incoming tide. He paused at the head of the stairs to rally his resolutions. Then, still walking heavily, he passed down the corridor to Eve's room. It was suggestive of bis character that, having made his decision, he did not dally over its performance. Without waiting to knock, he turned tbe handle and walked into the room. ' It looked precisely as it always looked, but to Loder the rich, subdued coloring of books and flowers the whole air of culture and repose that the place conveyed-seemed to hold a deeper meaning fhan before, and it was on tbe instant that bis eyes, crossing tbe Inanimate objects, rested on their owner that the true force of his position, the enormity of the task before him, made itself plain. Realisation came to him with vivid, overwhelming force, and it must be accounted to bis credit In the summing of bis qualities that then. In that moment of trial, the thought of re treat, the thought of yielding, did not present itself. Eve was standing by the mantel piece. She wore a beautiful gown, a long string of ' diamonds was twisted about her neck, and her soft, black hair was coiled high after a foreign fashion and held in place by a large diamond comb. As he entered she turn ed hastily, almost nervously, and look ed at him with tbe rapid, searching glance he had learned to expect from her. Then almost directly her expres sion changed to one of quick concern. With a faint exclamation of alarm she stepped forward. "What has happened?" she said. Tou look like a ghost. Loder made no answer. Moving into the room, he paused by the oak table that stood between the fireplace and the door. x They' made an unconscious tableau as they stood there he with his bard, set face, she with her heightened color, her inexplicably bright eyes. They stood completely silent for a space a space that for Loder held no suggestion of time. Then, finding the tension unbearable, Eve spoke again. "Has anything happened?' she asked. "Is anything wrong?" Had he been less engrossed the Intensity of her concern might have struck him, but in a mind so harassed as his there was only room for one consideration the consideration of himself. The sense of her question reached him, but Its significance left him untouched. "Is anything wrong?" she reiterated for tbe second time. By an effort he raised his eyes. No man, he thought, since the beginning of the world was ever set a task so cruel as his. Painfully and slowly his lips parted. . "Everything in the world is wrong," he said in a 6low, hard voice. Eve said nothing, bnt her color suddenly deepened. Again Loder was unobservant, but with the dogged resolution that marked him be forced himself to his task. "You despise lies," he said at last. "Tell me what you would think of a man whose whole life was one elaborated lie." . The words were slightly exaggerated, but their utterance, their painfully brusque sincerity, precluded all suggestion of effect. Resolutely holding her gaze, he repeated his question. - "Tell me! Answer me! I want to know. Eve's attitude was difficult to read. She stood twisting the string of diamonds between her fingers. "Tell me:" he said again. She continued to look at him for a moment;, then, as If. some , fresh impulse moved her, ' she turned away from him toward the fire. "I cannot," she said. "We I I could not set myself to Judge any one." , Loder held himself rigidly in hand. f "Eve." he said aulettr. "I was at the Arcadian tonight. The play was ! Other Men's Shoes. I suppose you've ' read the book 'Other Men's Shoes T" She was leaning on the mantelpiece, j and her face was Invisible to him. "Yes. I have read it," she said without looking round. 7 "It Is the story of an extraordinary likeness between two men. Do you bei lieve such a likeness possible? - Do yon think such a thing could exist? lie spoke with UflSculty. His brain and tongue both felt numb. , Eve let the diamond chain slip from her fingers. "Yes," she said nervously. "Yes, I do believe It Such things bava been" Loder caught at the words. "You're quite right." he said quickly. "Yon're quite right. The thing is possible. Hye i proved 1L I know a man ao like me I

V mat you. even you, could, not tea us apart." Eve was 6ilent, still averting her face. In dire difficulty he labored on. "Eve," he began once more, "such a likeness is a serious thing a terrible danger, a terrible temptation. Those who have no experience of it cannot possibly gauge its pitfalls" Again he paused, but again the silent figure by the fireplace gave him no help. "Eve." be eiclalined suddenly, "If you only knew, if you only guessed what I'm trying to say" The perplexity, tbe whole harassed suffering of his mind showed in the words. Loder, the strong, the resourceful, the self contained, was palpably, painfully at a loss. There was almost a note of appeal in the vibration of his voice. And Eve, standing by the fireplace, heard and understood. In that moment of comprehension all that had held her silent, all the conflicting motives that bad forbidden speech, melted away before the unconscious demand for help. Quietly and yet quickly she turned, her whole face transfigured by a light that seemed to shine from within something singularly soft and tender. "There's no need to say anything," she said simply, "because.I know." It came quietly, as mo6t great revelations come. Her voice was low and free from any excitement, her face beautiful in Its complete unconsciousness of self. In that supreme moment ail her thought, all her sympathy, was for the man and his suffering. To Loder there was a 6pace of incredulity; then his brain slowly swung to realization. "You know?" he re peated, blankly. "You know?" Without answering, she walked to a cabinet that stood In the window, unlocked a drawer and drew out several sheets of flimsy white paper, crumpled in places and closely covered with writing. Without a word she carried them back and held tbem out. He took them In silence, scanned tbem, then looked up. In a long, worthless pause their eyes met. It was as If each looked speech lessly into the other's heart, seeing the passions, the contradictions, the shortcomings, that went to the making of both. v In that silence they drew closer tosetiier than they could have done through a torrent of words. There was no asking of forgiveness, no elaborate confession, on either side. In the deep, eloquent pause they mutually saw and mutually understood. " "When I came Into the morning room today," Eve said at last, "and saw Lil lian Astrupp reading that telegram nothing could have seemed farther from me than the thought that I should follow her example. It was not until afterward not until he came into the room until I saw that you, as I believed, had fallen back again from what I respected to what I despised that I knew how human I really was. As I watched them laugh and talk I felt suddenly that I was alone again terribly alooe. I I think I believe I was jealous in that moment" She hesitated. "Eve I" he exclaimed. But she broke in quickly on the word. "I felt different In that moment. I didn't care about honor or things like honor. After they had gone It seemed to me that I bad missed somethingsomething that they possessed. Oh, you don't know what a woman feels when she Is jealous!" Again she paused. "It was then that the telegram and the thought of Lillian's amused smile as she had read it came to my mind. Feeling as I did acting on what I felt I crossed to the bureau and picked It up. In one second I had seen enough to make It impossible to draw back. Oh, it may have been dishonorable. It may have been mean, but "There's no need to say anything, she said simply. I wonder if any woman In the world would have done otherwise! I crumpled up the papers just as they were and carried them to my own room." . From the first to the last word of Eve's story Loder' s eyes never left her face. Instantly she had finished his voice broke forth in Irrepressible question. In that wonderful space of time he bad learned many things. All his deductions, all his apprehensions, had been scattered and disproved. He had seen the true meaning of Lillian Astrupp's amused Indifference the Indifference of a variable, flippant nature that, robbed of any real weapon for mischief, soon tires of a game that promises to bo too arduous. He saw all this and understood it with a rapidity born of the moment; nevertheless, when Eve ceased to speak the Question that broke from, Mm was not

connected wim tms great aiscoveo was not even suggestive of It. It was something quite Immaterial t any real Issue, but something that overshadowed every consideration In the world. "Eve," he said, "tell me your first thought your first thought after the shock and the surprise when you remembered me." There was a fresh pause, but vone of very short duration; then Eve met bis glance fearlessly and frankly. The same pride and dignity, the same indescribable tenderness that had responded to his first appeal, shone in her face. "My first thought was a great thankfulness," she said simply. "A thankfulness that you that no man could ever understand."

CHAPTER XXXII. - IS she finished speaking Eve did A I not lower her eyes. To her t there, was no suggestion of ' shame in her thoughts or her words, but to Loder, watching and listening, there was a perilous meaning contained in both. "Thankfulness?" he repeated slowly. From his newly stirred sense of responsibility pity and sympathy were gradually rising. He had never seen Eve as he saw her now, and his vision was ail the clearer for the long oblivion. With a poignant sense of compassion and remorse, the knowledge of her youth came to him the youth that some women preserve in the midst of the world when circumstances have permitted them to see much, but to experience little. "Thankfulness?" he said again Incredulously. A slight smile touched her lips. "Yes." she answered softly "thankfulness that my trust had been rightly placed." She spoke simply and confidently, but the words struck Loder more sharply than any accusation. With a heavy sense of bitterness and renunciation he moved slowly forward. "Eve," he said very gently, "you don't know what you say." She had lowered her eyes as he came toward her. Now she lifted them in a swift upward glance. For the first time since he had entered the room a slight look of personal doubt and uneasiness showed In her face. "Why?" she said. "I I don't understand." For a moment he answered nothing. He had found his first explanation overwhelming. Now suddenly It seemed to him that his present difficulty was more Impossible to surmount. "I came here tonight to tell you something," he began at last, "but so far I have only said half "Half?" "Yes, half." He Tepeated the word quickly, avoiding the question in her eyes. Then, conscious of the need for explanation, he plunged into rapid speech. "A fraud like mine," he-aaid. "has only one safeguard, one justification a boundless audacity. Once shake that audacity and the whole motive power crumbles. It was to make the audacity impossible to tell you the truth and make It Impossible that I came tonight. The fact that you already knew made the telling easier, but It altered nothing." Eve raised her head, but he" went resolutely on. "Tonight," he said, "I have seen Into my own life, Into my own mind, and my ideas have been very roughly shaken into new places. "We never make so colossal a mistake as when we imagine that we know ourselves. Months ago, when your husband first proposed this scheme to me, I was, according to my own conception, a solitary being vastly ill used by fate, who, with a fine stoicism, was leading a clean life. That was what I believed, but there, at the very outset, I deceived myself. I was simply a man who shut himself up because he cherished a grudge against life and who lived honestly because he had a constitutional distaste for vice. My first feeling when I saw your husband was one of self righteous contempt, and that has been my attitude all along. I have often marveled at the flood of Intolerance that has rushed over me at sight of him the violent desire that has possessed me to look away from his weakness and banish the knowledge of it but now I understand. "I know now what the feeling meant. The knowledge came to me tonight. It meant that I turned away from his weakness because deep within myself something stirred In recognition of it. Humanity is really much simpler than we like to think, and human impulses ' have an extraordinary fundamental connection. Weakness Is egotism, but so is strength. Chilcote has followed his vice; I have followed my ambition. It will take a higher judgment than yours or mine to say which of us has been the more selfish man." He paused and looked at her. She was watching him intently. Some of the meaning in his face had found a pained, alarmed reflection in her own. But the awe and wonder of the morning's discovery still colored her mind too vividly to allow or otner considerations possessing their proper value. The tbrlll of exultation with which the misgivings born of Chilcote'a vice had dropped away from her mental image of Loder was still too absorbing to be easily dominated. She loved, and as if by a miracle her love had been Justified For the moment the justification was all sufficing. Something of confidence, something of the innocence that comes not from Ignorance of evil, but from a mind singularly uncontaminated, blinded her to the dagger of her position. - Loder, waiting apprehensively for some aid, some expression of opinion, became . gradually conscious of this lack of realization. Moved by a fresh impulse, he crossed the small space that divided them and caught her bands. "Eve," he said gently, "I have been trying to analyze myself and give you the results, but I shan't try any more. I shall be quite plain with you. "From the first moment I took your husband's place I was ambitious. You unconsciously aroused the feeling when you brought me Fraide's message on the first night. You aroused it by your words, but more strongly, though more obscurely, by your underlying antagonism. On that night, though I did -not know It, I took up my position; I made my determination. Do you know what that determination was?" ,

She shook her head. "It was the desire to stamp out Chll

cote's footmarks with my own, to prove that personality is the great force capable of everything. I forgot to reck on that when we draw largely upon Fate she generally extorts a crushing interest. "First came the wish for your respect, then the desire to stand well with such men as Fraide to feel the stir of emulation and competition to prove niyself strong in the one career I knew myself fitted for. For a time the second ambition overshadowed tbe first, but the first was bound to reas' sert Itself, and in a moment of egotism I conceived the notion of winning your enthusiasm as well as your respect." Eve's face, alert and questioning. suddenly paled as a doubt crossed her mind. "Then it was only only to stand well with me?" "I believed It was only the desire to stand well with you. I believed it un til the night of my speech if you can credit anything so absurd. Then on that night, as I came up the stairs to the gallery and saw you standing there, the blindness fell away, and I knew that I loved you." As he said the last words he released her hands and turned aside, missing the quick wave of joy and color that crossed her face. "I knew it, but it made no difference I was only moved to a higher self glori fication. I touched supremacy that night. But as we drove home I experienced tbe strangest coincidence of my life. You remember the block in the traffic at Piccadilly?" Again Eve bent her head. "Well, when I looked out of the car riage window to discover its cause the first man I saw was Chilcote." Eve started slightly. This swift, unexpected linking of Chilcote's name with the most exalted moment of her life stirred her unpleasantly. Some glimmering of Loder's intention in so linking it broke through the web of disturbed and .conflicting thoughts. "You saw him on that uight?" "Yes, and the sight chilled me. It was a big drop from supremacy to the remembrance of everything." Involuntarily she put out her hand. But Loder shook his head. "No," he said; "don't pity me! The sight of him came just in time. I had a reaction in that moment, and, such as It was, I acted on it. I went to him next morn ing and told him that the thing must end. But then even then I shirked being honest with myself. I had meant to tell him that It must end because I had grown to love you, but my pride rose up and tied my tongue. I could not humiliate myself. I put the case before him in another light. It was a tussle of wills, and I won, but tbe vie tory was not what it should have been. That was proved today when he re turned to tell me of the loss of this telegram. It wasn't the fear that Lady Astrupp had found it. It wasn't to save the position that I jumped at the chance of coming back. It was to feel the joy of living, the Joy of seeing you, if only for a day!" For one second he turned toward her; then as abruptly he turned away again. "I was still thinking of myself," he said. "I was still utterly self centered when I came to this room today and allowed you to talk to me, when I asked you to see me tonight as we parted at the club. I shan't tell you the thoughts that unconscluosly were in my mind when I asked that favor. You must understand without explanation. "I went to the theater with Lady Astrupp ostensibly to find how the land lay In her direction really to heighten my self esteem. But there fate or the rower we call by that name was lying in wait for me. ready to claim the first Interest in the portion of life I had dared to borrow." He did not glance toward Eve as he had done in his pre vious pause. His whole manner seem ed oppressed by the gravity of what he had still to say. "I doubt If a man has ever seen more in half an hour than I have tonight," he said. "I'm speaking of mental seeing, of course. la this play, 'Other Men's Shoes, two men change identities as Chilcote and I have done but In doing so they overlook one fact the fact that one of them has a wife! That's not my way of putting It. It's the way it was put to me by one of Lady Astrupp's party." Again Eve looked up. The doubt and question in her eyes had grown unmistakably. A he ceased to speak her lips parted quickly. "John," she said, with sudden conviction, "you're trying to say something something that's terribly hard." Without raising his head Loder answered her. "Yes," he answered, "the hardest thing a man ever said" nis tone was short, almost brusque, but to ears sharpened by Instinct It was eloquent. Without a word Eve took a step forward and, standing quite close to him, laid both hands on his shoulders. For a space they stood silent, she with her face lifted, he with averted eyes. Then very gently he raised his hands and tried to unclasp her fingers. There was scarcely any color visible in his face, and by a curious effect of emotion it seemed that lines, never before noticeable, had formed about bis mouth. "What is it?" Eve asked apprehensively. "What is It?" By a swift Involuntary movement she had tightened tbe pressure of her fingers, and. without using force. It was impossible for Loder to unloose them. With his hands pressed irresolutely over hers he looked down Into her face. "As I sat in the theater tonight. Eve," he said slowly, "all the pictures I had formed of life shifted. Without desiring It, without knowing it, my whole point of view was changed. I suddenly saw things by the world's searchlight instead of by my own miserable candle. I suddenly saw things for you, instead of for myself." Eve's eyes wridened and darkened, but 6he said nothing. ' "I suddenly saw the unpardonable wrong that I have done you, the imperative duty of cutting it short." He spoke very slowly in a dull, mechanical (To Be Continued.)

Woman's Watchword Is Modesty.Whatever threatens woman's delicate sense of modesty, frightens her. For this reason many a woman permits disease of the delicate womanly organs to become aggravated because she cannot bring herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant questionings, offensive examinations, aad obnoxious local treatments, which most physicians think necessary. Doubtless thousands of the women who have taken advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter have been led to do so by the escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to modesty.

Any sick woman may write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.t in perfect confidence ; all letters of consultation being treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential, and all answers being sent in plain envelopes with no advertising or other printing upon them. Such consultation costs you nothing whether you take treatment from Dr. Pierce or not. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been long hailed as a "God-send to women." It makes weak women strong nd sick women well. It enables worn en suffering from "female weakness," prolapsus uteri, retroversion, anteveraion, and other displacements of the organs distinctly feminine, to cure themselves right tn the privacy of their homes. Pelvic catarrhal drains, painful or irregular periods, backache, frequent headaches, weak nerves, dragging-down pain or distress in the lower abdominal, or pelvic, region, gnawing sensation in Etomach, dizziness, or faint spells, and kindred conditions and symptoms are cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is not a secret or patent medicine, against the use of which most people of intelligence naturally object, but is,' in fact, the "Favorite Prescription " of a regularly educated and experienced physician in the treatment of woman's peculiar ailments and who is not afraid to publish all its ingredients, as he does, on its bottle-wrapper, attesting the correctness of the same under oath.
