Her Husbands Widow

Victor Sees Varney Making Love an Unpleasant SYNOPSI8. Leslie Morne, a governess, goes to walk by the sea and is spoken to by a man she does not know. She is rescued from his attentions by Victor Steele, sergeant in the British army, whom she later marries. She finds married life wearisome and refuses to follow Steele to Egypt. Then Bhe hears of his death and conceals the fact that she is his widow. Four years later, married to Oswald Varney and mother of a boy, she meets Steele face to face in Jerusalem. He tells her to keep the past secret, and her husband announces that Steele is going to sail with them. She later meets Steele on a liner and also becomes acquainted with Mrs. Melas, and learns what jealousy means. Victor Steele stalked out of the card room and stared moodily at the fast receding shores of Sicily. He heartily wished the voyage was ended. Leslie had evidently resolved to treat him as a stranger. That was wise, but it seemed hardly necessary to treat him as an obnoxious stranger. Well, no doubt his presence must exasperate her. Yet on shipboard it was difficult to keep out of her sight. It was only forty-eight hours' steaming from Messina to Marseilles, but acquaintance ripens rapidly on shipboard and at such short range those diamond-bright eyeB might be relied upon to do a great deal of execution. It was evident that the pasha's widow meant to fulfill her threat and to flirt as well as she knew with Leslie's husband. No doubt the flirtation would be perfectly Innocent; but what was fun to her might be something like death to Oswald's wife! "Little vixen," murmured the captain.' "Why can't she leave him alone?" Oswald Varney, as she had remarked, ought certainly to be able to take care of himself, it was true. But it was not of Oswald Varney or of the newly proclaimed Queen of Diamonds that Captain Steele was thinking. He had assumed that Leslie was passionately in love with her husband he had taken that for granted as the only possible explanation of her second marriage. It was her chagrin at Oswald's interest in the adventuress which accounted for her feverish excitement, even for her display of illtemper toward him, Steele. She was angry with him not only for being there, but for having introduced this woman to her huBband. "I very nearly wrecked her life," was his unspoken thought. "I'll be shot if Jenny Heston shall!" He was about to approach the pair when Leslie herself rose up from the table, slipped her winnings into her reticule, and came out on the deck. Not the least trace of irritation or bitterness was observable in her face or manner as she dropped Into 6tep beside. Mrs. Melas, keeping her between herself and Oswald. She paced to and fro beside them, her hands clasped behind her, talking with animation. "She does it very well," thought the onlooker, as he turned toward the saloon. Mrs. Melas Goes to the Varney Table. He was hardly surprised to find the place opposite him vacant at lunch. Mrs. Melas was seated at the other table facing the Varneys. He wondered whether she had proposed the move1 herself with characteristic assurance or had been invited by Leslie. All three were plainly on excellent terms, though Mrs. Varney addressed her remarks almost exclusively to the subaltern, her late partner. Once or twice Captain Steele encountered Jenny's raze. She wore a mocking smile, which plainly said, "You see I am doing it in spite of you." She certainly was losing no time. The conquest of Oswald Varney was proceeding apace. He prowled along the alleways and came out on deck at the stern. They were there, of course he mighe have expected it. It was the quietest, most private spot on the de k. Varney was talking in that serious narrative tone into which a man naturally falls when he wants to interest a woman in himself. The Queen of Diamonds, her hands clasped round her knees, was looking away from him as though frightened to et bis eyes. At times she turned

It was all very prettily done. Oswald made a quick movement to kiss her, but laughingly she ducked and his mustache merely brushed the peroxide on her hair. Victor deliberately stumbled against a chair, and so announced his approach. The pair looked up at him with absolute composure. "Come and sit by me, Vicky," cried Mrs. Melas, gathering her skirt round her slim ankles, and making a place for him on the pile of cordage on which she was seated. With a sulky expression he sat down beside her. "We came here, Mr. Varney and I, to get out of playing bridge," she explained. "Mrs. Varney and that villainous old prince completely cleaned us out this morning." The intruder was malicious enough to hope this was true also to enjoy the other man's obvious annoyance at his appearance. "I hope you have your railway tickets home," he said. "Otherwise you had better go on from Marseilles to Monte Carlo and try to raise the wind there." "Oh, but you would lend me my fare, wouldn't you Vickums?" the lady regarded him archly. "Do you know," she said, turning to Oswald, "that Captain Steele was the first man I ever lovea?" "Well, I hope he won't be the last," chuckled Varney, twirling his mustache. "You hear that, Vicklekins?" Mrs. Melas turned toward her old friend "Forlorn widow though I am, someone still thinks the heart you spurn worth winning." In gutteral Arabic Victor requested the lady not to make herself a fool, but before she had framed what would probably have been an even less polite reply in the same language, a shadow fell across them. They looked up. Leslie was balancing herself backward against the rail, accompanied by the devoted subaltern. Her gaze ignored the men altogether. "I borrowed your husband for half an hour, Leslie," said Mrs. Melas (Victor noticed her use of the Chris tian name). "One must do something on this old ship. He flirts quite well, you know. That explains how he got you to marry him. Or, of course, you may have taught him." "It's very good of you to look after him Jenny." Leslie brought out the name with a slight effort. She had ev idently been particularly requested to use it. The conversation struck Victor as fatuous in the extreme. He pointed to a faint gray mass on the eastern hori zon. "That's the island of Ischia over there," he said irrelevantly. Mrs. Melas patted his hand. "Poor old Vic," she said,' indulgently, "he doesn't like this kind of talk at all. He's very serious, you know, Leslie. You see, I broke his heart ever so many years ago, and he gave me to understand that he has never been able to smile since. Do you think you could do anything for him?" The smile froze on Leslie's lips. She Chief Cause of Pimple, Blotches, Sallow Skin .(Messenger of Health.)

glanced from the woman with her mock-earnest expression of sympathy to the downcast face of the man. Victor Steele, biting his lips viciously, m he looked down at the deck, saw only her white shoes and ankles disappearing round the hatchway. Dancing had already begun, Leslie passed them, her waist enriched by the arm of the subaltern, whose adoring expression did . not escape Victor. His eyes followed her a little wistfully. She made a charming figure in a pretty scene. Oswald came , rushing: up. "I've been i hunting for you everywhere, Mrs. Melas," he began breathlessly. "I want my first dance to be with you. Where's your programme?" Mrs. '-Melas turned coldly from him to Victor. "You have my programme," she said. Victor handed the card to the other

man, who scanned it eagerly. His brow contracted into a frown. Against every number the initials V. S. were scrawled. "I'm too late, I see," he said, with a sneer; he bowed frigidly. "I congratulate you, Steele." He walked stiffly away. Mrs. Melas burst , out laughing. "Didn't he look wild? He's gone on me, as we used to say. Fancy, his wife's ever so much prettier! What do you think?" She clutched Victor's arm affectionately. They sat down where he had surprised her with Oswald that afternoon. They lit cigarettes and looked at the sea. "That should be Elba," remarked Victor awkwardly, , indicating a light that flashed at intervals through the blue darkness. "Bother Elba!" ejaculated Jenny. She laid her head on his shoulder. "I like you, you know," she murmured. "I dare say. I saw you with Var ney this afternoon, remember." Victor's ear caught the sound of a quick footfall. He knew that two persons halted immediately behind the hatchwav. TT turned to Jenny and asked her very distinctly: "Honestly, now, do you care at all about var ney?" "Varney amuses me, but I am real ly fond of you." Listening tensely, he heard a sound close at hand like a faint gasp. The moment after Leslie, on the arm of the subaltern, swept past the two seated in the deep shadow. He couia see her face. Surprised, he perceived that her expression was not one of relief, but of acute pain. (To Be Continued). Garfield Notes Pupils who expect to enter Garfield from any other than the public schools of the city are requested to call at the school building before Saturday of this week to arange for their classification and work.

In case work has been made up or any change is desired the pupils should by all means come for re-adjustment of program before Saturday. There will be but few changes in either the work or the faculty of the school for this year.

Sky Dome The Skydome -will offer today. to its patrons a distinct novelty, namely.

the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Carnival company. This attraction has played in some of the principle- theatres in Indiana, and has proven such a great success, Judging from the way this attraction draws, the management has added a few more seats, and even then It bids fair to state that standing room will be at a premium. In connection with the above mentioned show, the management has arranged to show the Chicago Speedway Derby. This is conceded to be the fastest track in the world, and if you wish to enjoy some real thrills and some hearty laughs, come to the Skydome and, be rejuvinated. The usual price of admission will prevail. County Deaths JOHN DITCH. HAGERSTOWN-r-John Ditch, aged 75, died Friday at his home north of Hagerstown, after a several years' illillness.

HAGERSTOWN Elmer Cordell, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cordell, died Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock, after a several days' illness of lockjaw. The boy had stepped on a rusty nail, which penetrated into the foot, two weeks ago. Two local physicians and two specialists from Indianapolis and Richmond were engaged, but could not save him. The parents and six brothers and sisters survive. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Weismeir, Monday, at the Methodist Episcopal church. ESCAPES INCINERATION.

Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy They say that the advent of the "sentanel tablet" as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronie constipation, who were quick to recognize its advantases over calomal and tha uaual lazatlTes. Sentinel tablcta, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid in bringing about natural functioning Instead of encouragingthe "cathartic habit." Also, Instead of injuring the membraneous lining of the organs Involved, they exert a healing; infliisnc. Instead of weakening-, they add tone to the Intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their lnexpensiveness is another reason for tha popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime's worth, and taka one tablet upon, retiring, to be convinced that tha Ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil ennnequences, has finally, been found.
