Frederic had known Lucia Arnold in Cincinnati and she had been in her set and he had paid her some attention. now or had just started a few hours ago. He had stayed later than he had intended doing twice with such @ piausible excuse. The idea of doubt- ing Frederic! To think of allowing a gypsy to shake her faith in a hus band as devoted as hers had been! She would practice her new music. She would get away from her disloval thoughts. She could bardly touch her supper. Later she heard volces and two girl friends came in. They would make her forge “Oh, Freda!" said Alicia Freeman, “41d a beautiful gypsy fortune-teller come here?

The gypsy sprang up crying: “I hate you, Frederic Cartmell! I never gant to see you again!’ but as she rted to go the man held her. “You don’t go till you tell my wife the truth,” he said sternly. The woman faced Freda's amazed eyes with an expression of such hate that it frightened her. “I've always hated you, but much more so since Cartmell loved you, and I was bound to hurt you and get even with him.

But I'm not through yvet.” She ran off. her head- xear in her hand, and a moment later was out of sight. The two stopd there looking at each other. “What a fool I've been!” declared Freda in a shaken voice. “‘As Lucia says, it was rather clev- er,” Cartmell sald easily. “And now let us forget her and be happy.
