McGLASHAN HIS WAY WAS BES rose, pushed aside her chair, the floor to it and sat down. A blank sheet of paper lay before her. She picked up a pen, dipped it in the By NELLIE CRAVEY GILLMORE. ! ink and wrote rapidly: (Copyright.) Alicla turned abruptly from the window as Delafleld’s form was swal- lowed up in the throng of pedestrians surging up the avenue. She stood for an insensate second staring blankly at the carpet. Then the hot tide of long-pent-up emotions, suddenly released, swept turbulently to her brain. The aching restlessness of five long years flamed into flerce rebellion; the humiliating truth had come to her at last with a sickening sense of certainty. He was the wrong man. If anyone had asked Mrs. Delafleld in what respect her husband was de- ficient, she could hardly have answered the question. His appearance was comely, his manners flawless. He was, perhaps, a step in advance of his col- leagues in point of intellect. Hig Integrity had never been as- salled. Socially his position was un- questioned; he rode no hobbies; he af- fected no erratic creeds. He simply did not understand the woman he had married! Reviewing her wedded life deliber- ately, critically, Alicia was compelled to admit to herself that never, in a single instance, had Delafield failed her. They had had their trivial differ- ences, thefr tiffs, but all had come right in the end. She could not recall that he had ever treated her with unreasonableness or discourtesy; as a matter of fact, the very recollection of his uniform tender- ness and indulgence nettled her curi- osity. In her suddenly awakened re- sentment she reflected bitterly that she would almost—yes, quite—have preferred a little of the masculine brute. Had he comprehended her nature in ever so slight a degree he would have doininated it—and her. Yes—she con- fessed it unreservedly—what her soul needed, craved, nay, demanded, was a power above its own. She was weary, sick to death of this eternal bowing to her will, yielding to her every whim and impulse. True, the little tangents in which she had in- dulged from time to time had been harmless enough, but she had hun- gered feverishly for excitement, oppo- sition to whet her zeal. With hysterical perverseness she found herself longing for the squalls, it not the storms, of life. Instead of this, and through Delafield, she had been forced to endure year after year this deadly, placid life that was wear- ing her spirit out by inches. She sank into a chair and pressed her fingers to her burning eyes. Ex- ample after example of her husband's characterless “good nature” flashed in panoramic succeéssion through her tumultuous mind. She recalled something Bertie Lang- don had sald to her a year or two after her marriage. She had remained out late—too late —at a theater supper at Sherry’s with a party of friends. Delafield was wait- ing up for her on her return. She more than half expected to be re- proached, even upbraided. But in her husband's calm, smiling reception she sought in vain for signs of secret jealousy or disapproval. The placid exterior told nothing. So far as he was concerned, there was nothing to tell! “Any other man—who cared for his wife—would have been half mad with anxiety,” she had confided to Langdon | with a sore heart. looked a protest.” Bertie Langdon had laughed at her vehemence and replied: “What a lit- tle eimpleton you are, Allie. Any other woman would have been tickled to death to have such an easy-going fellow for a harness-mate. Take it “Billy never even from me, Delafield is a superior fel-| low. That's just his way.” Just his way! Ah, that was the slogan. Everybody applied it, and— she reflected dramatically—it was de- | stroying her very soul. Lottle Henderson had once remarked that Willlam Delafield was a “perfect angel of a man.” She had flirted openly, boldly, with a flashy Westerner, for the sole pur pose of rousing her husband’s jealousy —and he had quietly shut his eyes to her maneuvers. “Do you think it's because he doesn’t care, Lottie?” she had asked her friend uneasily. “I think it's because he does, dear,” she answered. “How could he help it? Delafield ie an unusually sensible fel- low. That's just his way.” Well, she was done with that “way.” There was another way—of her own— and she would take it. The long and short of it was, the situation had grown intolerable. It had, in fact, come to a head. She had been beating her wings against the cage long enough; the door was open now apd the world was before her. The measure was a heroic one, but Delafleld should be moved from his apathy of contented assurance at last. The tiny Delft toy on the mantel tinkled a merry reminder of the noon hour. Alicia laughed, with a little eyes were lifted momentarily to its small, round, inane face. “Good-by, you,” she said aloud. “Just | one of the thousand reminders of this deadly velvet existence that I mean to put an end to forever here and now.” The blood sprang to her cheeks in two throbbing, scarlet disks. The die was cast. exultant, new life Every nerve tingled wlth‘ decision is hasty. On the contrary, it is result of mature deliberation. We made a mistake when we took each other. There is nothing really congenial between us. The very absence of friction which marks our daily life is proof tive of our mutual unsuitability. I have nothing for which to reproach Yom kut I cannot longer endure the str: hope you will understand. Farewell, She sealed and directed it carefully and placed the envelope in a conspicu- ous place on the mantel. Then she hurried up to her room and began to throw things feverishly into her trunk. Delafleld, half an hour late to lunch- | eon, ran quickly upstairs and tapped on his wife’'s door. There was no re- sponse, and he turned the knob and entered. The room was empty. His eyes, un- accustomed to gather details, failed to take note of the disorder everywhere. | 218 He was consclous of but one sensation —disappointment at finding Alicia gone. But true of habi:, Le put 3ide the selfish feeling, and, whistling, crossed the corridor to his dressing-room. The solitary meal was rather deso- late. Delafleld missed his wife's merry chatter keenly. But he assured him- self that he was glad she had gone out. He recalled with a little pang of self- reproach that she had eeemed thinner of late than he had ever known her; she appeared to be moping, and he had urged her to take more fresh air. Yes, he was very glad indeed that she was off for an outing. After luncheon he went into the library and drew up a chair to the fire. Then he took a cigar from his pocket and lighted it leisurely. With his head against the cushion, eyes half-shut, he sighed contentedly and began to blow meditative rings of smoke toward the frescoed cefling. Suddenly, through the blue hage, his narrowed glance focueed on Alicia’s letter. He sat up, blinked at it, rose and picked up the envelope. He tore it open with repressed eagerness and read the dontents twice—and again. When he”restored it to the envelope his fingers shook slightly. But he smiled whimsically. “Poor little girl,” he mused, “the house will be lonesome as the grave. But never mind; she needs the change.” g Delafield spent the afternoon at his club. That night he attended the opera. Weeks passed. Alicia mounted the steps a little wearily. The month had told upon her sadly. The once curving lines of throat and contour were sharp and pinched; the pretty pink had quite fled from cheek and lip. The door was ajar, and she entered noiselessly, almost with caution. A bright light gleamed through the library door and she faltered toward it timidly. Delafield, sitting by the reading- table, cigar in mouth, a magazine in hie hands, was the picture of luxurious content. For an iastant the blood sang hot in Alicia’s cheeks; it surged in humiliat- ing waves to the very roots of her hair. She put out a tremulous hand to steady herself against the door fac- ing. Delafleld, glancing up carelessly as he turned a new leat, suddenly dropped the periodical he had been reading, and rose. “Why,” he said joyfully, “whea did you get in? Why didn’t you let me know so that I could have met you?” A scalding mist of tears swam in Alicia’s eyes. She was consclous all at once that she was shaking like a leaf. Delafleld came toward her, bent and kissed her in the selfsame way he'd always done. She was glad he put his arm about her; she felt that she must have fallen if he hadn’t. Suddenly she began to laugh, that she might not cry. “And—and you? Have you missed me, Billy?” she asked faintly. “Missed you! It's been a wilderness —that's all.” “But—but you didn’t look for me. You didn’t try to—" “That was because I wanted you to come back, sweetheart.” Delafleld caught her as she swayed. A long time she lay on his breast. Every sense seemed drugged with a delicious content. After all, Delafleld’s way was the best! Point in Insurance Law. The heirs of a merchant who was suffocated by smoke while asleep in an hotel bedroom at Schlestadt, Al sace, brought an actlon against the Paris company with which he had in- sured his life. There was a clause in the policy which provided that the company would not be responsible for death by suffocation, except in case of fire. The fatal smoke, it was shown, came from some briquettes which had been left near the fire in the hearth, but were not intended to burn where they had been placed. Counsel for the plaintiffs urged that “'flre" did not necessarily mean the catch in her throat, as her gleaming ! burning of the whole or part of a house. The court took this view, and gave a verdict for the plaintiffs. —— A Compromise.
