Olga had been wholly consistent with hie esti- panto of her, The folly of hoping too touch had been his. In the dark days following this ao- ,cepted realization of failure he was cold ,and silent. Ho was gentle with Olga, that he lived within himself, and his heart was like a stone. He could feel a pity for her occasional outbreaks of dis- ppointment and rage, but a capability pf actively regretting what he had lost .seemed dead. The changes following within two mouths found him com- placent. t The town house was sold together -with everything else, and for the time being, at Olga's request, they made -their home with her father.

There was nothing worse to hap - 'pen. ' In the meantime Anne found herself studying Olga. She mystified her more completely every day. Her spasms of despair, sharp and short lived, were over now. For hours she would lie dreaming, her hands behind her head, the faintest smile sometimes fluttering .around her lips. Except for a walk or ..drive, she seemed to eujoy letting the •days brush by her. Dinner hour often found her lounging in the loose gown of the morning. She never spoke of .what the thought so constantly nor what her plans were, if she had any. No one questioned her, David least of all. She showed no desire to found a home based upon their changed condi- time. He was willing to wait until she .had familiarized rhorself, with her new Suture and had roused herself to active intermit is it. "My dear, God lets some of us live -too long," Dr. Ericsson said to Anne ,one day as she leaned over his library .chair. "I am one of these. I can't con- template the lives which this one root covers without a feeling of dismay for the future. Better for me if I didn't live to see that which I must see, I fear. Oh, why weren't you my child?" he said, with longing. "You have a heart, a mind; real human blood goes through your arteries. You are a woman, not a finely articulated piece of flesh. You understand me? I wish you were my child." "Uncle, why do you say this? Yon make me afraid of something. Has any- thing happened yon haven't told me .about?" ' "I'm afraid of .Olga," he said shortly. "Why? She seems not to care any satore," replied Anne, while she knew rFor Backache and Kidney Disease Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are the most prompt and effective treatment obtainable.

But she does, and I know her." He sat with his eyes fixed on his vein - owl hand as it thoughtfully tapped the table. "At .least wheu I say I know Olga I go too far. But I know the signs of storm in her. She is silent, thinking -of what? She writes a lot of letters. She always goes out alone. I'm afraid of her," be said, with a sigh. But Anne soon forgot these words, for during several weeks following life at the old house took on a more cheerful color. Olga ceaseddreaming and seemed sat- isfied. She was often the gayest of com- panions and assumed a whimsical tyranny over David vastly preferable to her settled indifference. sometimes dur- ing these days her eyes had an almost celestial light in them, her smile was ooufidiug. David almost dared hope again for that which ho had deoided could never bo his. He found himself wondering if she could be content with the little he now had after all; if iu her own fash- ion, which never could be anticipated, she would come to help him, love him a little. He put the hope from him, yet knew he was hoping, and he waited. In January in the busy morning hours a note was brought to Auno at the office. It was from David, and very short. "I hate to send you this, dear Anne. You have been drawn into my misfor- tunes too much of late. Forgive it, but I must come to you. Olga has gone away at tbo head Of a theatrical com- pany. The blow has prostrated Mrs. Ericsson and she's dangsrenety ill. Can you go to the house when you get this?" Anne sat with the letter in her hands, conscious only of unbelief in the words written there. The womau who had done this thing, having smiled and lied harmoniously as she made her ua- hurriedrway to the goal of her desires, became suddenly hateful. Anne could not judge of her by herself or measure Aar by familiar rules. Comprehension was beyond her. "A liar!" she said aloud. ' A cruel liar!" Tho noisy streets might have been a desert for all heed she took of them as elm hurried to Dr. Ericsson's. She was absorbed in her thoughts. She knew i o how the papers would ae ze n this de- parture and flourish the real and imag- inary details of David's private life un- der big headings, how ably Olga would assist them. Soon her face would stare from every shop window and decorate tobacco signs ; she would be exploited by every bombastic venture dear to the managerial heart. She was not one to Succeed by the sovereignty of talent alone and retire from the limelight to privacy as exclusive as a queen's. In - tinct and education made her delight in the clamor of brass. Her mother had beau eager to advertise her socially; she would trumpet herself professionally. When Anne entered her aunt's bed- room, a pang of remorse shot through her heart. Mrs. Eriosson's nervous vigi- lauoe and activity had often irritated her, but now her outflung arms express. ed apathy,'her snisilI, shrunken face was almost hidden in the bulging pillow and her eyes stared at one apot. She was in a .sort of syncope. It seemed brutal that all the physioian1a efforts were to bring ber out of it to a realization of Olga's decisive arrow which had struck down ber last hope. It was dusk before the nurse came and Anne could leave the sickroom. She was tired and her bead ached. In the hall she met a maid and asked for a oup of tea. "Shall I fetch it to the dootor's study, Miss Garth*? :Mr. Temple is there now. He's just got in. Perhaps he'd like a pup of tea too." " Yea, and Dr. Ericsson --hasn't he dome book yet?" "Not yot, mise." There was not a sound in the house as Anne,went down the stairs, nor were the lamps yet lit in the study, but there was bright firelight coming out in a broadening track aorose the open door- way. When she reached the threshold, she saw David sitting on the edge of the big table, his hands in his pockets, his eyes on the fire. She reached his side before he was aware of her presence. When he tushed and saw+ the firelight making her dark oyes still more mysterious, sending its flickering, over her sensitive lips and the dusk masses of her hair, a look of pain changed his face. Truth and sym- pathy were in her full glanoe. It was long since a woman's eyes had looked at him so. "You're SO pale," be said gently, taking her band. "I'nt sorry I had to send for you, Anne, but Mrs. Ericsson needs a woman near her. Don't jinn think so? But, as I told you is my note, I feel like a brute dragging yon into this wreto bed h eves.

Then he added abruptly, "Have you seen the papers touight?" "No; is it"-. "Yes, it's: everywhere. They all have it, except, of course, The Citizen. It hurts me so, Anne. Oh, I'm a fool to let it; I know that! I'll have to endure more sensatloual reading by and by no doubt." Anne sat silent, and he turned to her again. "Haven't you beard the story, Anne? It's a pity," be said, with a dismal smile. "You have been cheated out of a toothsome morsel of. gossip, It's the dinner topic at plenty of tables tonight." He sat down ou the table edge again and leaned forward, his hands on his knees. "Olga went away three days ago to pay a visit to one of her former inti- mates. She was to be gone a week. Last night I received a letter from her. It was as serene as her eyes. She was going, she said, to make a great name for herself on the stage. The company she beaded would play only old come- dies, was going straight to San Fran - "lit telt you what I learned." cisco, from there to Australia and would appear next fall in New York.

Why, .there's meat for a reporter in the two sables. Don't on. think sof 11 y y They may even illustrate me," he laughed, his eyes bright with contempt. "The letter ended with the politic hope that I'd be sensible and not kick up a row. Well, I haveu't. I've been sensi- ble. But I spent part of today in be- coming bettor acquainted with my wife. I was curious to know how she devel- oped her plans. Irl! tell you what I learned." Ho stood up before Anne and struck his finger with emphasis on his open palm. "From the hour she know of my fail- ure she has covertly, determinedly bent every effort toward the taking of this step. The manager would not star her without heavy security. Then Olga showed what resources lay within her. Smedley Joyce and a few others among her old followers have at her suggestion basked the undertakilag as a good busi- ness venture. They knew all about it. And I, ignorant, blind, sat opposite Joyce at the Harvard alumni dinner the other night. I didn't dream! I was fading my wife's augel. You don't know what that means. Neither did I until today. Tho man who backs a play earns that heavenly title. Smedley Joyce is at present an angel, though a stout one, I grant." " What will you do?" asked Anne, her heart ohilled. " Will you bring her back? You might, perhaps." "I shall not try," he said (dearly. "I'll do nothing but endeavor to live us if I'd never seen her. It won't be hard." A dark look crossed his face. "If cir- cumstances could by any possibility arise in the future tending to soften me toward her, to make mo a fool again, 1'.d,,only hags to think of this ono thing -her gentlest mood, most inptrlsive caress and lier only promise for a happy future home together were given the night before she wont away, when her railroad ticket was in her puree. This thought would make me a stone." Anne watched him thoughtfully and understood him. Olga had practiced a cheap deception from flret to last. Her unmasking had only aroused disgust and bitterness in. him. To feel either grief or hate for anything as gaudily false as this woman would be like playing some of the most despairing strains in "Faust" ou a penny trumpet. The maid enteYed with tea, and they had it iu the firelight, while the shadows played between them. Anne's heart beat painfully and hard. David began to feel a peace subdue him. This was their first talk alone since the winter night when he had told her of his love for Olga. 'Then all the tenor of his eo- static " " love her. was,i confidence Tonight his imbittered spirit had voiced a different truth: "She has gone, lei- surely and ooldly, out of my life for- ever. She brought nothing into it; she takes nothing away." (CHAPTER XXL Anne bad enters Dr. Ericsson', hone* as a meaba of the family. No one hid urged her to go, but she had carne to tees the- ne desity of 3' t. After a long iit;teio her aunt Lad comb laaok to only a quiescent conscionsnesi of life and with body partly paralyzed. The reiva of government had fallen from her hands forever, and a woman was needed by her side. Anne did not re- nounce work to bo with her, .but she condensed it auto as few hours as possi- ble and spent her leisure in the Waver- ly place house. Sho had found it hard to be unselfish and go, particularly when she knew Da- vid had insisted on remaipinatlrere and assuming the duties of a sou toward die old man be loved and the woman he pitied. She had struggled with her own .leart and bad beaten down herpride only after a hard fight. Daily compan- ionship with David Temple was the last thing in the world she desired, end she loved her free life as she loved the sunlight. But there was nothing else to be done. Mrs. Ericsson's apathy was a plea mingling with the voice within her which commanded in the name of duty. If only selfishly, for her own, peace, she obeyed it. More tbau a year had passed. It had grown to be a right and natural thing to Anue to meet David at breakfust and pour coffee for him, to watch for his coming at night. At first this had seem- ed unbearable, impossible, but habit is coercing and inflexible and women are adaptable. She even managed not to be discontented though she lived iu a dull atmosphere, in a quiet' house where three disappointed lives drifted on. Olga's name was never heard. Mrs. Ericsson, calm, almost mindless, sat all day by the window of her room, her eyes fastened on the street. She seemed watching for some one; she always looked out. The attitude bad become mechauical long after a realization of the reason had died. It was the expres- sion of the passive desire iu her maimed brain to watch for Olga's return. Da- vid worked harder than ever, apparent- ly unchanged save that he was more ret- icent. Dr. Ericsson's practice was but a name, and he looked an aged man. ' As was expected, the newspapers had made a sensational heroine of Olga. Soon after her departure photographs of her from San Francisco had found their way to Broadway windows and "reported interviews with her had been wired to New York papers. These were highly colored and probably false. Gossip toss- ed her name like a shuttlecock from one to another. As an actress she had not suet with emphatic success. At first people went to see her in great crowds because she was the well known eastern belle; they went a second time because. abs was a beauty. Soon her vogue lessened. It is one thing to be a rich woman dabbling in a profession, another thing to enter the market and strive with practical workers. The criticism aroused was different too. Olga bad fouud this out. Sho had been too ambitious. With all her natural talent ebe was still unform- ed, really fit only to interpret the rudi- ments of her art, and what had seemed praise compelling in fashionable Now York, where gloved hands awarded the affirmation of success, was merely1y prom- ising, sometimes impertinent, where people paid money at a box office to see a stranger. Many things that must have stung David were said of her in every paper except his own. But even to Anne's eyes be was impassive. Ho went into the world, particularly the society of men and clubs, as rnuch as formerly, and those who found pleasure in discussing his affairs behind bis back were careful to read the hint in his attitude and offer neither sympathy nor advice. . May was almost spent. At the cor- ners of the streets barrel organs churned antiquated love songs; sparrows built their nests in the weakly budding trees; She hesitated with it in her hand. wagons heaped with glowing plants halted at area gates; the crannies be- tween the paving stones held spears of grass as strengthlese as the down on a boy's lip. On a warm night Anne took a han- som to one of the big studio buildings on upper Fifth avenue to attend a din- ner givou by a celebrated artist just over from Paris ma a visit to his native laud. A brilliant 14 sat down at the round table, and she found herself between the athletic young novelist who took her in and an Australian capitalist. As dessert came on there was a lull in the entertaining nonsense and piquant dis- cussions between herself and her dinner companion and she listened to the scraps of conversation around her. The name "Temple," spoken in soft,amusod, scornful accents by the Australian, reached her. His big, bald bead was turned from her, hut owing to his slow, distinct utterance else could hear almost every .word.. Ho was speaking of Olga. "They fade quickly, those very pale blonds ' don you thiol.. J' xericmcntt and what not have spoiled a very pretty ,womau in Mrs. Pomple. A shocking failure ebo is too.

The public is a bull- dog. If it doesn't get what it wants or expects, it bites. Daring her drive home the words she bad heard staid with Aline, but in- sisted on remaining beyond her belief. Olga pitied, ridiculed, faded -she who bad been so secure, so envied! And but little more than a year had gone! She sat with wide, speculative eyes, watching the sentiuellike lamps flash past, and tried to picture Olga as she bad been described. Failure had come and bitterness had followed. Exhaust- ing travel, nervous days and nights and the pains of wounded vanity had done the rest. Prosperity and confidence in herself had been the qualities forming a foundation for Olga's winning uncon- cern and amiability. With defeat, with struggle, the real nature had peered like an ugly face from behind a mask and left her a bitter, turbulent woman, a logical developmeut of the peevish child who scratched. The house was wrapped in slumber when she reached it. But she knew by the light left burning in the library that David had not yet returned. For several days she had only seen'him in the mornings. She went to her aunt's room to see if she slept or needed anything. The light burned low and made big shadows among thebed curtusip_ss the air was (To be continued.) A WISE PRECAUTION.
