"A'-Man and -His Wife

Pertirbed in Mind, John's Wife Telephones to His Club and Misses Him.

She Could Not Escape as He Came in at the Door.

By Virginia Terhune Van de Water. CHAPTER IV. Coyrigbt, 1915, Star. Company It was a new experience for Isabel Hamilton to pass an entire evening alone. As Isabel Davis sbe had been accustomed to this kind of thing before she became engaged to John Hamilton. Tonight, musing over the events of the past year, she appreciated that for twelve months her evenings had been spent in John's company. She had simply taken bis presence for granted. As her betrothed he had been at her beck and call. As her husband he had been her property during such hours as he had. not been engaged at the office. He had become a habit in her life, and she resented his absence. With a woman's capacity for selftorture she wondered if this was the beginning of the condition of affairs of which Bhe had read in lurid tales of marital infelicities. There had to be a first time for everything even for a man's neglect of his wife. Was this John's first time? . Was .he going to attend the club regularly? , ' She found that she was getting nervous and over-wrought and called herself silly and fanciful. John had spoken 'the truth when he said that, as a mem

ber of an organization, it was his duty to appear there occasionally. Perhaps he would not repeat the visit for months. As a bachelor, he had been a frequenter of the place, but of late he had had attractions in his own home tint had kept him contented. Then the remembered that his home had not been especially pleasant this evening. She tnd been silent at the dinner table and had not seconded her husband's efforts to make conversation. She regretted the cloud between them, but she had not been to blame. If John had not been cross at breakfast. or even if he had apologized for the morning's display of temper, she would not have been quiet and sad. It was surely her duty to show him that he had erred. If he was too blind, or too self-satisfied to see that he was in the wrong, that was his fault. Her

When one is alone, self-justification is not always as. much comfort as one could wish. The book, that Isabel had thought would be interesting proved less absorbing than her own. unhappy thoughts. Ot last she flung the volume down in despair "1 can't fix my mind on anything!"

she muttered, "I might as well go to bed and get some rest." This she preceded to do at least she went to bed, taking as touch time as possible in her preparations for the night, that she might not have to wait long in the darkness before John's return. It was after ten o'clock when she at last lay down,, but she could not rest. To be sure she did fall into a little doze a few minutes after she had put out the light, but she awoke from this with a nervous Btart as the clock on the small table at the head of her bed struck the half-hour. Uusallythe striking of this timepiece did not disturb her. " Now the sound seemed to reverberate through the quiet room. Half past ten and John still at the club! Oh, well, he would be home by ll o'clock. But eleven struck, and half past eleven and twelve, and he had not returned. For a while Isabel was indignant, then she became anxious. What might not happen to him coming along the lonely streets all by himBeJf. Perhaps he had been sand-bagged and thrown Into some area way where he would lie wounded, perhaps, dead, until morning; wneri the police' would find him. They would see by the papers in his pockets who he was, and would call her up and tell her. How could she stand it! Oh, how could she stand it! She sat up in an agony of fear. Suddenly her mood changed. Was it possithat John might be having a good time at the club all this while? If so, she would give him a piece of her mind. But no, he would not be so cruel, so inconsiderate. Something must have happened to him. At what hour had he left the club she wondered. In such an emergency as this there was but one thing for her to do. That was to call up the club and make inquiries. She threw her bathrobe about her and thrust her feet into her bedside shoes, then, hurried out into the hall where the telephone hung. With trembling hands she seized the directory and searched its columns for the number she wanted. Ah, here It was! Some man at the club answered, after she had waited for what seemed to her a long time. "Hello!" he called as cheerfully as if it were did-day -instead of midnight. Somehow his matter-of-fact voice made the wifes act seem suddenly ridiculous to her. But it was too late to withdraw now. "Hello!" she returned in as steady

For Everybody's Car The Standard Oil Company's recommendation is one oil Polarine for every make and type of car. We could make a special oil for every type of motor. We have the facilities, the experts and the means. But the study of every motor car on the market showed that the lubricating needs of all standard makes were identical. Polarine -the result maintains the correct lubricating body at every motor speed and temperature. . . Polarine is the best we can produce today. And no other organisation commands more ex peris or has solved more lubricating problems. Use Polarine. It has proved the cure for the motor troubles of thousands of good cars whose motors bore the blame. STANDARD OIL COMPANY, CMcac o, U. S. A.

and practical a tone as she could muster. "Can you tell me if Mr. Hamilton Mr. John Hamilton is there?" "Hamilton? Just wait a moment and I'll go see," the voice informed her. And she waited, her heart beating with nervousness and excitement. If John were there he would be displeased with her for calling him up. If he were not there where could he be? "Hello!" the voice said again. "No Mr. Hamilton is not here. He was here, but he's gone." "Oh, how long ago?" came the agitated question from Mrs. Hamilton. "Wait and I'll go see," the unseen speaker said once more. And once more the wife waited in suspense but only for a moment, "He's been gone only about ten or

fifteen minutes," the man Informed her. "I. guess he'll be home pretty soon now," he added in a tone that may have meant to be comforting, but which brought the blood to the wife's cheeks. "Oh, I'm not worried about him at all," she said frigidly. "I thank you for the trouble you've taken." "Pray, don't mention it, , rejoined her informant. ' "Good night." - "Good night! " she returned, hanging up the receiver with the conscious' ness that Bhe had seemed like a fool. Then a slight sound made her start and listen. It was John's key turning softly and cautiously in the lock. The telephone was in the hall. There was no time for the wife to disappear before the front door opened. (To be continued.)
