The man smiled, a bit oddly. "Tell me about him. Do you know when hej and Caroline met and what he- was doing in Italy?" "He was studying and making sketches. Hildegrade slaved and saved every cent she could to send him over." "So that is her latest!" mused Hubert. "What do you mean?" cried the girl. "I wonder if I can explain it. Caroline has a mania for depredating the next generation. She poses to herself as the heroine of the belated romance." "But she knows Lawrence is married, doesn't she?" cried Emily apd perhaps not. very consistently. "She prefers them married. Takes all the perfume and the 'blossoms and lets the wife grub at the roots. .Does he love his wife?" "Why, of course, devotedly. That's the finest thing about him," cried Emily stanchly. . At that Hubert grew all the more bitter. "Better yet! She enjoys making a test of her power." At that Emily cried out Impulsively. "Oh, Hubert. Hildegrade's the best in the world and" "Then I pity her," returned Hubert grimly. "You don't mean your wife will hurt Hildegrade, do you?" The man's voice was bitter as he replied. "She won't bleed, that is, outwardly. She'll just wake up and find her happiness evaporated." "You mustn't allow it," cried Emily. "She is just a child before a sophisticated person!" "What can I do?" asked Hubert Knolys desperately. When a wife's emotional extravagances bankrupt her husband's self-respect, the only notice he can give the world of his disapproval is to leave her. This method was impossible for Hubert Knolys and he had never discovered another. And now, in sheer desperation over his unanswerable problem, he turned lo Emily Madden and voiced his tangled thoughts. t "What can I do? Caroline has done this all her life, and, as she operates under the protection of my name, I've had apparently to stand by and support her." "Can't you call her hand?" asked Emily, efficient young woman to whom all things were possible. Hubert paced the floor, finding in

physical action some expression for thej

pent up emotion he was incapable of working out. When a man finds that lie is impotent to control the woman lie once wooed to his will, his feeling Is half one of sadness for what he has had and lost and half one of scorn for himself, since having had he has failed to hold. "How shall I call her hand?" he asked. "You'd respect her if she showed one real emotion. She is physically chaste; but is absolutely unchastened in soul, and yet she feeds on the souls of others. That's how she keeps young. "She is a mental Bluebeard and I'm

the hotel clerk of her castle I know where all her miserable relics hang what rooms and what days of their lives they've offered her!" "Why this is horrible, Hubert," cried Emily, feeling utterly helpless in the face of the man's problem and conscious of the fact that she must fai' him either as solution or panacea. But Hubert was Intent on the mere expression. In assembling all the parts and setting them up consciously to be observed as a whole be was finding a certain satisfaction. All that had been intangible as his mind went over and over it in utter desperation became finite and so a tangible something with which he might deal. Even as he spoke most hopelessly he began to feel vaguely that perhaps after all there was some possible solution to be groped after and lost at the moment when he thought to seize it, but still to be striven for like a very Grail. There was no hope in his tone. It held desperation, but it held, too, the nucleus of an idea on which he was later to act. "I'd give my eyes to stop her! If not for the sake of others, for my own sake! She's broken me! I tried to get free ' for years at the beginning. But she plays so absolutely safe she protects herself so completely that she Is unassailable."

"Can't he be warned?" asked Emily,

her mind reverting at once to her

friend Hildegrade Sanbury whose young husband was likely to find him

self In the toils of the siren. "Not if she gets him first. Her mind

of poison strikes them blind. There's

nothing to be done for him. Just you keep out of her way. "I will," said Emily grimly. Suddenly Hubert's mfnd swung from

his problem to the girl before him she had been.his refuge from, trouble for so many years. With her he had been able to forget his bitter unhappiness. For long months he had - not seen her and he had missed her sadly as he knew now in her presence more strongly, than be ' had guessed even when he most longed for her. "I've missed you,, Emiiy. When are you going to let me see , you again?" he asked.

"Hubert I didn't want to mite it but it's off," said the girl, very sadly. She hated to give pain. Perhaps compassion had been the greatest force to sweep her into Hubert Knolys'- life and now compassion . for herself was driving her .out. She had begun to feel sorry for the waste of herself her love affair with a married man was causing; she had begun to pity her own unshattered uncertainty. And so she had been swept into answering the longing of her own nature. And yet, as she sat there a simple dressed girl who was struggling to make her own living, she found that she was not sorry for herself at all, but desperately compassionate again for this man who stood so desolate in the midst of his luxury. To Be Continued.
