"What became of WarlngT Did he go off with Mrs. StathamT You know there were bets about it before I went. Ono remembers that sort of thing out there." "Oh. War ing," the other answered. "No. It was rather funny. Ho went ofT by himself." - Tho man from "out there" whispered tioflly. "Dapper Waring," ho wild, "dis creet Warlntr. Got tho tho giddy mitten; mustache aud all?" The other had tho air of shudder ing a llttio at the slang. It was a matter of going buck to old times, and they Were at tho club, the old place in tho old arir.cr.t.lrs. The man who had come back "wanted to know" furiously. The other knew; he was tho sort of man who did; who know hia way about, too, having stayed tor all his life In a town where, for tho man who knows, there are more gold Mid more fruit than In ail tho other hem ispheres. Ho had put on more flesh then tho other, and waa the older man and the quieter, ills beard waa trimmed square, and waa thick. At home, he had a collection of very choice water colors, aud underneath his broad, bare forehead another of modern lnatancca. All these things gave him an air of balance and ass uredness. "Oh, it waa tho other way round," he said. "You see, Waring had got as fur as packing his bag. Further. You didn't know Mrs. Stntham, or Stcthim?" "Wasn't it Statham who used to sit over there sometimes sit hud dled up in a hooded chair and wear some guy's hygienic clothing?" ho said. The other nodded. "Yes, that was Statham," he an swered. "Mrs. S. was another son. I knew hor a bit very weir beforp she was married. She used to be oni of your bright and beautiful English ones; tho sort you fellows tall' about. Tall, golden hair In coK And blue eyes. Drooping eye-lid though, and a nose with a teuueucy to quiver in the nostrils like a blouJ horse's. Looked splendid, some times. Splendid!' ' "I don't now what she marriod Statham for. Bored at home, 1 sup pose. I don't know. Anyhow, the married him. And then he began to get on her nerves after a year, or. maybe, two. You see, he dis covered bis monstrous importance in the scale of things hia scalo. Some thing reminded him that there were such things as death and health. "As long as he limited himself to pills she didn't mind, I suppose, but when It came to red flanuel llvor pads she aged a little. Grew up. you might say. It was a sort of fore taste, and opened up prospects. "Well, Statham grew worse and worse,' . became the Statham you were speaking of; went to all the doctors in town, and took to wear ing hygelnlc clotheij. And then Mrs Statham became the Mrs. Statham that Waring knew a woman. And a real woman's the devil. - It waa tragedy, really, for her.

So did his voice, und hia mustache drooped. "I hated him, until ono duy It came Into my head that, but for the grace of God, there might have none me. Anyhow, I pltlod her. There we used to sit at that dinner table ot theirs; Statham with hia head burled between his shoulders and a gigantic screen behind his back; hygienic clothes and a blue Runnel shirt that swathed round "his urck like that sort of patent legging you see advertised. Well he had his tragedy, too, poor beast; he looked like an old bald crow on a railing in dripping fog. "As for her, she'd sit opposite, with Waring neur her. She'd look at her husband, and practically age as she looked at him. Thcre'd be linos on her face. "She had grown up, as I said. Some women never do; but she had, and hardened In type. It was pretty sad to seo, because she used to be, oh, a glorious girl. She was a glor ious woman, too, when she didn't happen to have her eyes on her hus band. But the face wus Intensely proud. "What Bho clung to moat desper ately was the tradit"n of indlstlng ulshabtllty, of bein1; liko everybody elH. Ayntlilng else amounted to what do you call It: 'albinism'? when you're a white chaffinch In a fljok all alike. It's a rcco instinct. aech tuated by a moral code, when 'on come to think of It, and this ras liko a blow from a clear sky, some thing unheard of and quite hateful. She wns horribly afraid waa waa 'noticeablo' as far as Wnrlng went. I could see it in the way she looked at me, as If she were trying to catch rue 'noticing.' It frightened her, and fascinated her; and Statham was no kind of moral support. "She would look at him, and I could fiee a sort of light In her eyes; flashes of rebellion against, not Slat ham, but tho Infinite that had tied her to him. Theu Waring would 8a y something, in a voice as if ho were gargling eau sucree, a voice you never heard here. She would 1 take a sip of wlno, and brighten up; flush all over; become like a 11 a c chanto. There wus a sort of fitness of things in it. That sort of man will do the trick for that sort of woman; and any ono would have looked well opposite Staham, even I." He paused, and began dropping lumps of sugar into hia coffee; gaz ed at the little clusters of bubbles that resulted, and separated them with the extreme point of his tea spoon. His friend lookod at him with the suspicion of a grin. "You were pretty hard hit, old chap," he aid. "Oh. I don't Ray." the other answered. "Anyway, I saw the tra gedy of her position. Waring either Aid or didn't see, I doa't know; Btatham certainly did not. I don't believe be ever spoke to his wife, except to tell her what Dr. Fergu son had said In the moretog. and Dr. Thwalte at lunch time, and both in consultation with Sir Saul Sam nelson on the morning of the day when he had felt such palpitations. "I don't know what put the screw on In WaHng's affair. I mean Things reached a head Is one way or another, and they decided to knock the head off in the approved way. You know how these things come about; or, perhaps you don't. It probably upset little Warlug when It came; be too, had a sort of fear of the noticeable. Anyhow he got his bags packed and deposited at Charing Cross, and the tickets taken (told me that himself), and put on a bowler hat and a long coat for traveling in. Then he trotted to their house to take her for a trip outside the radius. -L?ADKI l?0LilLB DR. HUMPHREYS' SPECIFICS. Direction! ttb rath Tll In Flrn Tanrni'in'a.

It struck him that she hari been writing to Statham; the Bort of letter one leaves on a dressing table, I believe. "'llendy?' he asked, a little throtty, but determined to avoid a Kt:ti;e or anything like it, as if It were a matter of a trip to Putney. 'Oh, I'm ready,' she answered. 'Hut look hero." She held the letter out to him. "I knew what was in It; I'd writ ten it. I had bad to go round from lib to Statham's it was something about bonded business. I had founi hltn with a couple of doctors called In by his head clerk. Aud there waa a basin full of something red and a sponge. I'oor beggar, wo bad never taken his maladies seriously, and he knew It. He was unxloi to see his wife, as far ab wo could tell, because he was speechless. I think he wanted to get some nort of ack nowledgement from her. It wan ;i tri umph for him; if he had been nblo to speak, he might have aaid, 'I toid you eo!' I had sent the ol7ke boy in advance with the letter I wnue and then I followed with Statham in a cab. "That was the roal trujredy of U ?r life, poor thing, that scjue in the drawing room. I don't know Juat what passed. I imagine that sh must have tried to not to persundu exactly but to point out that, tho letter did not make any difference; that It was probably only ono of Statham's 'little ways.' But Warins had a lively sense of the conven ances, you know. "I expect, too, she didn't look quite up to the mark that morning. She used to get washed out pretty easily theu. Probably she had bad a bad time the night before, think ing of the momentous step, and there remained in her face nothing but oh, the pride and something elae, a little alarming for a man like War ing. He had a sort of vision ot the future, of what sho would be for ever and ever, In that pale woman. That and the Idea of running away with with the wife of a corpse were a little too noticeable even tor War ing. "Anyhow, as we were carrying Statham up the steps all that re mained of him Waring was coming down. He never saw her again; took a trip round the world; bolted, in fact. He would have faced the scan dal the other way; he would have stuck to her, too; he'd even have faced out the being tied to her as be saw her then; I suppose because be would have had the run for his money the glow and the glamor. That's what It amounts to." He came to a stop, and relit his cigar. "And Mrs. StathamT" the Colon ist asked. "She's still Mrs. Statham." "And you?" "I'm still I not more of a fool than Waring, and a little less tnan Statham. And I began to get bald soon nftcr."
