For the first time in her life Rachael could have played the Virago, could have raged and stamped, could have made him ab |solutely afraid to misuse her so. He did not deserve such consideration, he should not be treated so gently. While she sat alone, in the loog evenings, she tried to follow him in her thoughts. He was somewhere {in the big, warm, dark theatre jw atching the little pool of bright in which Magste moved, listening to the crisp, raw freshness of Magele’s voice. Night after night he must sit there, drinking in her beauty and cliarm, torturing himself with the thought of her tnaccebsibility, It seemed strange to Fachaol that thin world-old tragedy should come into her life with all the stinging hovelty of a calamity, People and Drees taiked about a murder, about An earthquake, about a fire. Yet what was death or ruin or flamen be- side the horror of knowing love to be outgrown, of living beside thin empty m and shell whose mind age cleewhere? how con-| Rachael came know love as a power, and herself & victim of that power abused. Slowly resentment began to find to room in her heart. It was all so childish, so futile, so unnecessary! A prominent surgeon, the husband of a devoted wife, the father of two splendid sons, thus finging pride and sanity to the wind, thus being caught in the lightly Mung net of an ordinary, pretty little actress, the daughter of a domestic servant and a soldier in the ranks! And what was to be the outcome? Rachael mused sombrely, Was War ren to tire almply of his folly, Mag sie to carelessly fill his place in the ranks of her admirers, Rachael to gracefully forgive and forget? It was an unpalatable role, yet #he saw no other open to her. What was to be gained by coldness, by anger, by controversy? Was a man capable of Warren's curfous infat- uation to be merely scolded and pun lahed like a boy? She was helpless and she knew it. Unt he actually could make no move. Even when he did, or if he did, her only re course was the hated one of @ pub lic weandal; accusations, recrimina- tions. She began to understand his na- ture she had not understood it in all these years. Bite of hie moth er’s brief comment upon him came back to her; incomprehensible when st heard them, they were cur fously Uluminating no He had been a naturally good boy, awkward. silent, conscientious; turning toward integrity as normally as many of his companions turned toward vice. Despite his natural shyness, his gis fidence of manner, he ha strong himself and had scorned weakness in anyone; upright, he} needed little guiding, The praise) of servants and of hia mother's | friends had been quite frankly his;| even his severe mother and father had been able to find tittle fault in the boy, But they had early learned that when a minor correction was| demanded by their first-born's « acter, it was almost impossibi effect it, His standard of behavior was high, fortunately, for it was also unalterable. There was no hope of their grafting upon his conscience any new roots. James knew right from wrong with infallible inatinet; he was not often wrong, but when he was, no outside criticism affect: ed him.. As a baby, he would defend his rare misdeeds; as a boy, he was! never thrashed, because there was) always some good reason for what he did He had been misinformed, FREDERICK & NELSON FIFTH AVENUE AND PINE STREET White Voile Waists Reduced to $1.50 COLLECTION of Blouses that have be- come somewhat soiled from display, offered at a con- siderable reduction from their former price.
