Harold Dubois was an hour late in
coming. Ever since 8 o'olook, local time,
Vivian Merriweatlier had been stalking
about the parlor of her father's residence
lute a caged tigress. A6 a quarter past
the hour whi010 usually brought him she
had kicked it leg off the tettea•teto. At

down on the floor with a scream of fury.
Fifteen minutes later she upeet three
ohairs and howled. She bad just ripped
the Gobelin tapestry from ite hangings
and wrenched off a doorknob when the
well known ring pealed through the
house, and Harold

stood before her.
With little oty of

bad gone into the oold storage business.
"Herold—darling—what has happen.

arms extended.
He was silent, but his breast )leaved as
if he had a oat tucked away in his bosom
and it was tryieg to get out.
"Harold, your birdie is speaking to
you 1 She ehirpo for information i Do
not keep me in this fearful suspense or' I
shall perish I"
"Mitac lylerriweabher," he replied, eon -
trolling himself with a great effort, "I
have palled to say that it is all over be.

Oh, Harold P'
"Do not plead with in0 1 I am im.
pla0able I Base one, your perfidy is dis-
covered. Thie afternoon, by mere anti.

"Harold, let me male I" elle pleaded.
"Not a blamed nestle, Mise lvlerri•

yon have basely deceived me from the
beginning. Old Jim soya you have been
engaged It about 20 different fellows,"
She drew herself np in a gtleebly way
but made no reply.
"You have also been married twioa,
and both hasbande are diverged „from

Her queenly loop inereased 22 per
cent, butsheuttered never a ward.
"No longe0 ago than last week," be
went on in a voice which seemed .made
of sheet iron, "you boasted to °ernalu
people Haat you were simply playing me
for a 8aphead and when I could no longer
lend the old man money and trot yon to
the theatre you would give,nee the shako,
Thus do I tear you from my heart."

mercy in her heart. He shouted for

and her father was at the Fifth ward
caucus. At length, after the aims had
lasted two or three boars, she opened Ibe
front door, kicked with .both feet at ones
and Earoli Dubois ehob out into the
darkness of the evening. Not one word
had she uttered during the performance.
It was only after he had partly revived
and jumped a 12 foot fence and disap-
peared from her sight forever that she
drew a long breath, reaohad around and
grabbed her stately train and murtnured:
"Let this be a lesson to you, young
