aA Man and His Wife"

A Real Row Follows Isabel's Anxiety; for Her Husband and

His Midnight Return.

By Virginia Tirhunt Van de Water. ' CHAPTER V

John Hamilton gasped when he saw

his wfe Hind the gasp was one of

alarm and consternation. She was at that moment a sight to bring anxiety

to the breast 'of any loving husband,

especially when be had supposed her

to oe slumbering sweetly and bad let himself Into the apartment softly that he might not disturb her. She looked very slender as she stood in the center of the little hall, the folds of her pale blue dressing gown falling loosely about her, her hair hanging dishevelled over her shoulders, her face pale, her eyes wild and startled. "Good heavens!" John exclaimed, hurrying to her. "What's the matter? Are you ill?" "No," she replied with hauteur. "I am not ill. But I've been terribly anxious." "What about?" John asked. "Did you hear some sound that frightened you?" "Some sound?" she repeated dramatically. "No no sound but the clock striking away the hours while I lay awake in an agony of fear about you." A sudden light broke upon the man's mind. "About me!" he laughed. "You silly girl J What could have hurt me?" She drew from him when he would

have put his arms about her. "I trusted you enough," she accused, "to believe that something must have happened to you to keep you away so long.". "Poor child!" he sympathized. "It was Inconsiderate of me to stay so late.. I supposed -you would be fast asleep. I was only over at the club." "Oh. I know where you were," she Interrupted him. "When I' found out what time you left there I stopped being anxious about you." "How did you find out?" the husband asked quickly. "I telephoned the club," the wife said. She regretted the admission she had made, but since she had said so much she must answer John's question truthfully. She saw him flush with annoyance and mortification.

"Do you mean,' he said, "that you

actually called up the club to ask about me, as If I were a small boy

out alone after dark?"

His vexation added to her grievance.

yet It steadied her nerves, and the voice in which she replied was cold

and firm. '

"As I am your wife, I had a right to know where your were," she asserted. "I prefer not to discuss the matter

further." She Begs Him Not to Go Again to the Club. She went into her room, but he fol

lowed her, watching her sombrely as she took off her wrapper and lay down

In her bed. At last he spoke.

"Isabel," he said, "I think it Is as well for us to understand each other here and now. I am a man, and I have

a man's right to go and come as

please. It would be well for you to remember this and spare yourself the

discomfort of anxiety every time I am

out late."

His words filled her with a sudden

panic, and she forget her dignity.

"Oh, John," she quavered, sitting up and looking appealingly at him "you dn't mean that you are going to the

club again I mean again, soon?"

He was sorry for her; then the rec

ollection of her having called his

friends up at the club, of her having

put him in a ridiculous light, trans

formed his pity to disapproval. He remembered George Dawson's laughing

remark. Perhaps It was George him self who answered the telephone.

"Who answered you from the club?"

he questioned.

"I don't know," Isabel replied. "It

was some man whose manner I don't

like. He sounded as if he was making fun of me."

"He probably was," John affirmed

bitterly. "And he probably- was mak

ing more fun of your husband. Please

consider that the next time your fool

ish fears make you forget what is due me. It Is humiliating for a man to

have his wife follow him up."

"Then," she said, moved by her

memory of the evening's fears and

loneliness, won't you say that you're

not going to the club often? "No! I'll make no such silly prom lses!" he declared.

To his consternation Isabel burst

Into tears. He thought at first he would let her cry, but the sound of her sobs was too much for his equanimity. Seating himself on the bed by

her, he put his arm around her.

"Dear," he pleaded, "don't cry. You are all upset and nervous. If you will just make up your mind to be sensible

and understand that an evening's ab

sence does not mean lack of love!

Don't be unreasonable!" he added as

her sobs continued.

She looked up at him and her tears

topped flowing. "Do you call it un

reasonable to hate to be left alone for an entire evening? Would you call it unreasonable If you objected to my

going away with a friend and not com Ing in until after midnight?"

"That is very different," he object-

ad. You are a woman."

'That's not my fault! " she burst

forth. "And even If I am a woman, I

have some rights, I suppose."

John Hamilton sprang to his feet.

Great Scottl" he ejaculated. "Of all

jznreasonable beings that ever lived,

commend me to your sex ! I try to

comfort you, and you find fault with me. And what is it all about anyway? Just because I, after 'six months in

which I have spent every evening with

you, went over to the club and sat until

12 o'clock talking with some old friends. My mistake has "been that I

did not do it long1 ago, for then you

would have been used to it -by. now. But I shall go whenever I please. Un

derstand? And now as I am too much upset to - even attempt ? to sleep for hours yet, I shall go into the. parlor

and read and try to forget this infernal

row. I advise .you to- try to calm your

self and get some, rest even if I can

not."

He did not see how absurd it was for him to drop a husbandly kiss on the top of her bowed head after this tirade. Nor did the woman, see that it was absurd. There1 are so many

such travesties In' married: life so

many funny things that happen every

day and so few people have the sense

of humor to perceive that they are

funny. v

After having wounded his wife's feel

ings, and followed the wound by a

kiss that was not prompted by affec

tion, and which she was too wretched

to notice, John Hamilton turned out

Isabel's light and left her alone in the

dark. -

The altercation of the morning had

been nothing to this, the wife thought as she sobbed herself to sleep. After all, they were just like other married people, and she had supposed they would be entirely different. . (To be continued) r.

AVOID SPRING ILLS Purify and Build Up the Blood With Hood's Sarsaparilla. In the spring your blood needs cleansing and enriching. You feel poorly, and there is more or less eruption on your face and body. Your appetite is not good, your sleep is broken, and you are tired all the time. You need Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is

the one safe and effective tonic that has stood the test of forty years. It

makes the pure red blood that will make you feel better, look better; eat and sleep better. It is the old standard tried and true all-the-year-round medicine for the blood and whole system. Ask any druggist for Hood's Sarsaparilla, and insist on having it. Nothing else acts like it for nothing else has the same formula or ingredients, and so there is no real substitute. Get it today. adv.
