He could have checked her extravageuce, con- trolled her. He preferred to do neither, for he knew that in' becoming her mate ter her fear of him would bave to be the weapon in bis band, ber seoret hate the • result. Iia fortune was a splendid one. The actual money spent, grant though it was, troubled him little, but Olga's in - imamate desire for spending helped to reveal her to him. Her vanity, which she took no pains to hide, was a contin- ual affront, They never quarreled, seldom disa- greed. Olga was affectionate, soft, gen- tle as of old. No man could be insensi- ble to her charm. But David divined how quiokly the amiable smile would ,have changed to stolid dislike bad her whims ,bean interfered with. She went ber own way serenely, no soul in her life, none in her kiss, loving nothing in the world save her own white and perfect bogy. David was conscious of these truths, yet chose not to see them too clearly. He remained willfully dull sighted. Ha did not dare to think, decide, accept. Why fight the irremediable? Why plunge bis mind in shadows? Wby faoe the fact that in the most serious rela- tien of life be bad committed an amaz- ing piece of folly? Rather let him ao- ..oept Olga as she was, not the woman of his impassioned fancy. Let him demand only what she could give and learn to subdue his hunger for an existence she could not be part of nor understand. .Let bim refrain from fathoming the muddy shallows of ber soul, by degrees %need her less and draw around himself the comfort of an irresistible indiffer- .enoe. Better so for the peace of his life. But sometimes a memory would Iron- b1e.David Temple and leave his heart ,sad. He would think of the night he bad heard the pale single whisper of the damosel who watched from heaven for ber lover, and be would remember bow •in that moment his heart had grown tlarge with joy as he looked at Olga's face. It bad really been but the stir of the upper waves of passion, and be had fancied the sea depths troubled, but from that moment's aobo and rapture "he had known what love might be in a .life when it staid. en I think of the queer sights we ea* together when you were direoting my iustruation. Didn't we enjoy them, Donald --•,that old Russian exile -I can beer, his violin, now, --the first time I saw The Citizen's presses going like mad, the nook in the degenerate beck street where wo bad tea and speoulated about Paris? You see what your oammand to tack about myself has Bane. I have talked of nothing else. Did you get the papers I sent about the dinner and ootillon at Olga's? I oau't tell you bow beautiful she looked. Why, by the way, do you think David iau't happy? Why shouldn't he be? He has married the woman hie loves and is able to surround her with the luxury she requires to be content. • Perhaps he would prefer not to be the husband of a society beauty on whom the lens is always fixed. In fact, I know Olga's display must jar upon him. But he is wise enough to know that no Iifo holds all. U be loves her, the rest is mere detail. If he doesn't --well, I don't know, Donald. David is a man to hide well what he wishes to. bide and have an inner life without a hint be- traying it. They act in society as do all people with a proper idea of form -pay not the slightest attention to each other. Let us hope the tone of David's letter to you was only the result of a passing mood. And now to talk of yourself. I hope you are keeping well and feel more hap- py now on thaii sleepy plantation. I feel so happy when you write with courage. Try not to be homesick. The sketches. you sent are beautiful. and you are right to keep up your aketebing. You are unfair to say I don't mise you. I do indeed, and think of you of. ten. Write a happy letter next time, I'll look for it. Tell me more about the, business and don't be disappointed if you can't make money as fast as you'd like. Yon are sure to win if you are patient.

Railroads went under, stocks fell, banks failed, and in the depression ruin was written after prominent names. Others, white holding an apparently unchanged posi- tion, had lost heavily and expected the worst. . David was one of the latter. By August he found himself but a little way from the edge of disaster. The calamity stunned him. He thought of his uncalouiated expenditures, of Olga's insatiable demands. After seven sleep - leas nights he went to Newport, where, unmindful of her empty country house en the sound, Olga bad rented a cot- tage. They had an interview on the big terrace fronting the sea. By this time they had reached the condition of dull domesticity when they saw each other, oouutry hence on Long Island and the i;acone( a divine mystery. Then he eoaentrio atable.

And be hoped for these things still from her, though since she bore his name she bad taken no pains to cheat him.

Do you quite realize now where we stand? Do yon know what it costa to live as we've been living? I've been very generous with you, Olga. You can't say I've de- nied you anything oven when I should perhaps." "Generous?" she said, her eyelids She went to him and clasped her falling insolently. "I don't like that arms, bare to the elbow, around bis ward. It's out of fashion between bus- neck. bands and wives.

She looked frivolous and winsome as the stood in the soft light striking a long stemmed rase against her skirt as ;he spoke. David felt a mixed sensation of tenderness, pity and amusement seize him at the thought that the right to her husband's purse was the only advanced emblem Olga had been interested enough to attempt to solve. Despite the crisis of the moment and his sore heart, he was disposed to question her further. Eno leaned forward, letting his elbow rest on bis knee, and, seizing the head of the rose she toyed with, held her so. "But I don't 'agree with yon," he said quietly. "Ob, I suppose you'd have doled me out dollars if you dared and made me keep an account," she said. "Perbape that's your view." "No. As I said before,. although you do not hike the word, I am generous. I would give you half my income, or more perhaps, but your right to it I deny." "I oau't argue with you. I only know wbat I think." "Can't you tell me why you think it?" "liVell, 1 married you. I've given up ray freedom for you, made your life thio asaees its you'll see. I'm going to drive.

"Then we've finished about this tire, come mancy business?" she asked, lift- ing a pair of long gloves from the brick of a chair, " We hove if I've made you under- stand our position," and be passed his• bands over bis face in a distracted way. "You really mean we're in danger of beggary?" she asked, with sudden pas- sion. "Do you mean that?" "Must I go over it all again? Don't you believe me? Don't suppose I'm try- ing to terrorize you. What I say now is the simple truth, andl'1i"say it clearly, "It seems si0 t�selyto d� pfd she let dyour as seldom as possible, and bad inter- views. David was tenderly oonsiderate.. He went into the most tiresome busi- loss details trying to 'Amplify them and make her understand. She scarcely lie- Aeaed. He knew that by the expression of her quiet eyes. He urged the need of eoonomy. She shrugged her shoulders with as tolerant smile, but offered no resietanoe when he spoke of selling the crisis sometime bait my principal has depreciated to almost nothing; a good deal has been boat. Suppose the rest goes?" He faced her. His lips were set in a Iiue of endurance, around his eyes were the haggard traces of care, the thick lock which fell over his forehead had a grayness wbich aged him. It seemed to him that had she been capable of even a little pity she would have come to him, taken his face in her bands and kissed him. •-._, • She pursed up her Iips and considered a moment. When she spoke quietly, there was concentrated meaning in her tones. "I shouldn't like to be poor again. I don't think I'd take that condition of affairs calmly.

"Well, something of that sort." "My dear Olga" -arid David looked at her with wise and tender eyes -"you are not the first woman who has made that mistake. Just consider the matter from a reasonable point of view." She looked out at sea, her face ex- pressing rebellion and unbelief. "Marriage should be a bond bringing as much happiness to a woman as to a znan. I asked you to marry me because I loved you. I supposed you came to me as gladly for the same reason. Had I thought otherwise nothing under heav- en would have made me accept you as a wife. I didn't want a aaorifice; I didn't want to buy you, and if either of these thinga bas happened I may count my- self a wretched man. Therefore at the beginning we stood equal in love.

But why should half what I personally possess become yours when a third or a fourth is more than enough for you to be ex- travagent upon? Perhaps because you think you've made me happy?

Besides, losing you, didn't I gladly *urrender a wider liberty? That equal division iaa a right of which there's been a great deal said lately ought, in my view, only to exert under tiro coaditione."
