How the Jealous Woman
There Is a certain typo of woman who
inUst always Investigate the whys and
wherefores of everything. She Is not
content with things as they seem, but
always digs beneath tho surfaco to get
at the root of the matter.
Such ft woman Is rarely happy. Her
Wind Is too active for happiness. It Is
built tbo much 'after the Paul Pry pat
tern. Her great falling lies In being too
suspicious. And tho suspicious woman
never Is happy. Sho keeps looking for
lights, and fancying slights everywhere,
for 'Ahs Is oversensitive.
"Whero Ignoranco Is bliss 'twere folly
to bo wise." There Is lots of truth In
the old saying. Too many modern Eves
are today losing their Edens through tho
besetting sin of curiosity.
I have In mind one woman of my ac
quaintance who Is of a particularly sus
picious disposition. She never will ac
cept any one's word, but runs around all
the time, acting as a sort of domestic
Sherlock Holmes. This behavior Is
scarcely conducive to conjugal felicity.
to say the least of It, and naturally her
husband resents her attitude very much.
It has had a peculiar moral effect upon
him. too, for the constant detective work
of his foolish wife has really driven him
into small deceptions and subterfuges.
Truly she has much to answer for.
"It's perfectly hopeless to tell Mary
the truth, the wholo truth and nothing
but the truth," declared this husband re
cently to a masculine friend and con
fidant, "for she literally won't bellcvp
a thing I or any one else says until
Bhn has Investigated the matter for her
self. For Instance, the other night I
rang her up and said that I would bo
working lata at tho ofllce. The follow
ing morning when I wasvout for lunch
I always lunch between 12 and 1 o'clock,
and Mary knows that down she camo
to tho office to question the stenographer
as to whether I really had worked lato
the night before."
"Surely that was a little undignified,"
observed tho candid friend.
"I should say It was," eald tho hus
band In a worried way. "But that Isn't
tho worst of It For she asked tho girl
what tlmo I had left the office tho night
oerore, ana was told that we stopped
work at 0 o'clock. Now I wasn't home
till 12, for I had to put through a deal
with Smith, and you know how far
out in the suburbs he lives. After the
Information sho received, It was perfectly
useless to try to convince my wife that
I had been working all the time. She
Insists upon thinking I was out on' some
party.' Not that I really care what sho
does think, for her suspicious ways and
her Jealousy have quite killed my lovo
for her, But I do hate tho little subter
fuges -she drives me Into. And as for
questioning my stenographer, why, sho
has been the means of my losing four

stenographers slnco last fall! For they
will not stnnd her perpetual Interference
and questionings."
A man who tins to endure a wife of this
typo Is greatly to be pitied. And tho
wife herself Is to bo pitied even more, for
the unlinpplncss which she causes others
Is only exceeded by the misery she brings
upon herself.
When a woman marries, she ought to
have sufficient confidence In the man
of her choice to refrain from any ques
tionings. If she hasn't that confidence,
then sho Is a fool to havo married him
at nil, and ought to bear the results of
her own folly quietly and without raising
trouble.
Many women declaro that their hus
bands Interfere with them too much, and
that they aro not free agents. But thero
Is a reverse side to the picture: For the
suspicious wife Is only too prevalent
nowadays. Sho Is no rcspoctor of her
husband's liberty, and seeks to curtail
It In every possible way.
A thousand homes aro dally wrecked
through this besetting sin of suspicion
and Jealousy. A thousand engagements
aro dally broken through a lack of trust
fulness on the part of the girl. For no
man that Is a man In any real sense of
tho word will stand feminine Interfer
ence for long. It will not only mako
him tired of his fiancee or wife, but it
will make him r'ltlvely dislike and
despise her.
Tho Jealous woman is capable of
descending to the very depths In order
to confirm her Jealous suspicions. The
putting of dictaphones In rooms for tho
purpose, of overhearing conversations Is
as nothing compared to tho lengths the
suspicious woman wi'l go. And nil her
Investigations only bring her moro mis
ery. That Is the curious part of her
malady. For she always puts tho worst
construction on all tho Information sho
gleans.
The womnn who finds within herself
even a tendency towards this decidedly
feminine vice of Jealousy, should mako
every effort possible to cure herself.
For sho will wreck her own happiness
and' also the happiness of every one with
whom she comes In contact.
The Modest Maiden
She came across the gathering crowd,
A maiden fair, without pretense.
And when they asked her humble name.
She whispered mildly, "Common Sense."
Her modest garb drew every eye.
Her ample cloak, her shoes of leather.
And, when they sneered, sho simply said,
"I dress according to the weather."

"erojyes, you do. You've been poking
youPmose Into family affairs. You think
there's been a row between Erlelgh and
his wife, and that we're all at logger
heads about something. Well, you re
mistaken. Nothing has happened."
"Really, my lord," stammered tho de
tective, "I meant no offence." But he
chuckled to himself, as he played his part
to perfection. It was certain now that
there had been a serious quarrel between
Erlelgh and his wife. Lord WImberley's
manner had clearly ehown that.
"No offense at all, my lord," he con
tinued, nervously fingering a pipe on the
mantelpiece as If to show his contusion.
"I we have put the whole of that ter
rible affair In the background now, my
lord. I never give It a thought And, of
course, when Mr. Erlelgh" He paused
suddenly and, picking up the pipe he had
been fingering, examined it with real In
terest It was an old briar pipe, with a worn
and blackened bowl, and a vulcanite
mouthpiece very much bitten down on
the left-hand "side.
"Where did you get this, my lord?"
queried the detective.
"That? What Is It? An old pipe? One
of mine, I expect. What about it?"
"It's remarkably like the one you picked
up on uartsea Island In fact, I should
say It is the same one. I had an idea we
had it at Scotland Yard."
"Well, you have. That Isn't It"
"Are you quite sure It Is not my lord
quite sure you didn't keep it?"
Lord Wlmberley took the pipe from the
detective and examined It.
"I am quite sure I didn't keep the pipe,"
be said, after a pause., "Denham gave It
to Russell. Of course, that Is not It.
But there Is, as you say, a remarkable
resemblance the stem all bitten down on
the left-hand side."
"And you don't know how It came here,
mr lord?"
"I don't It is certainly not one of
mine. One ot the servants must have put
It here."
"Would you mind making Inquiries, my
lord?"
Lord Wlmberley rang the bell and asked
the footman about the pipe,
"I found It in the garden, my lord," the
man replied, "and, thinking it was one of
your lordship's, I put it in here."
Thank you, Carter."
Tho roan turned to go. "One moment,
said the detective. "I should like to know
where It was found, and to see the place,"
"Well Carter will show us."
They followed the man out into the gar
den, and he showed them the place were
ne vaa rouna tne pipe, close to some
bushes near one of the dining room win
dows. "It was about here, my Jord," Murray
aid.
"When did you find It?"
Thl morning, my lord."
Thank you. Carter I don't think we
need keep you."
The man took his departure, and Mur
ray began to examine the ground. He
found a footprint In the soft mold of a
bed, measured It carefully, and then made
a drawing of it on a sheet of paper. Then
he turned his attention to the windows
or tne nouse.
"What have you got in your aladr
queried Leed. Wlmberley.
T thought, perhaps, mr lord, that aa
A NEW BLOUSE
attempt had been mado to brci.lt In. Are
thoso windows shuttered at night my
lord?"
"Yes."
The detective examined tho sill of the
ono nearest to where the pipe had been
found. Then ho opened It and stepped
Into the dining room.
"The catch has gone, by lord," he Bald;
"broken "
"Oh, yes; that happened a week ngo. I
gave orderB for It to bo repaired."
Lord Wlmberley followed tho detective
into tho dining room and Murray exam
ined tho shutters. Then he went down
on his knees and scrutinized tiio floor.
"A burglar, eh?" queries Lord Wlm
berley. "Oh, no, my lord. If any one got Into
the house last night It was you they
were after."
Wlmberley laughed. "You still believe
In that old theory, eh?" he queried.
"I havo always said, my lord, that you
ought to bo careful."
The detective had no further clues, and
tho two men returned to t'ne library.
"I'll take this pipe up to town with
mo," said Murray, "If I may, and I'll
compare this footprint with tho ones Den
ham found on the island. Thero is Just a
chance It may bo tho somo man. I
should like to know If any of the ser
vants have seen any suspicious character
about here the last day or two."
"I will mako Inquiries," said Wlmber
ley, and ho left tho room. Ten minutes
later ho returned.
"No tramps havo been up here," he
said, "or any ono of that sort."
"Well; you'd better have the catch of
that window mended, my lord, and I
must urge on you the necessity of being
very careful. For a little while. If I
were you, I would not go out at night.'"
"But, my dear fellow, Dick Meriet is
dead."
"Yes, but his brothers aro both alive."
Lord Wlmberley remembered Lopez. He
had promised Lopez that he would say
nothing of the people the Spaniard had
encountored In the train, but ho was
sorely tempted to break his word,
"I suppose you don't know where cither
of them Is?" ho said after a pause.
"No, my, lord. Do you?"
"I do no't Herbert Meriet Is at present
my heir, but I have not seen him for
years. Perhaps you could make a few
Inquiries?"
"I will do so, my lord."
"Shall I send you down to Harptree in
a car?"
"That's very good of you, my lord."
Ten minutes later the detective left for
Harptree, and Lord Wlmberley seated
himself In a chair by the fire and lit his
P'pe; ,
"A good Job something turned up to dis
tract his attention," he said to himself;
"he was asking some very unpleasant
questions."
His thoughts turned to Erlelgh and his
wife, and his face darkened. He, knew
for certain that something serious had
happened to separate Erlelgh and his
wife, but ho knew nothing definite. He
only suspected, as the detective has sus
pected, that In some way or other It was
connected with, the kidnaping ot his
nephew more than a year ago.
A month later Lord Wlmberley received
the following letter from Detective-Inspector
Murray:
"My lord: The two pipes are almost
precisely similar, and I should say that
they had come from the same shop.
They are bitten down In precisely the
same way and are obviously the property
of the same man.
"The footprint found in your grounds
is similar to those found on the Island of
Bartsea, but there is no distinctive fea
ture In either. They are merely the samo
length and width and shape.
"I am making inquiries, from which I
hope to learn where those pipes were pur
chased, but this will necessarily be a long
business. I can, so far, find no trace ot
Mr. William Meriet at all. He was last
seen In London at his club more than a
year ago. Herbert ilerlet is believed to
be abroad, but he was In London two
months ago, in some lodgings in West
minster. We could not have ascertained
those facts so quickly If we bad not kept
a watch over the movements of those two
gentlemen up to a certain point
"I find that Mr. Vertlgan has left Lon
don, and ia now in the south of France.
He seems, I may add, to have plenty of
money, and has been seen gambling at
the tables In Monte Carlo and Nice.
"I have instructed Russell to have you
and your house carefully watched, so If
you find yourself being followed do not
Jump to the conclusion that the man
means you any barm. It would really
be better if you had a detective living in
the house, and, with your perraioatoo, I
wtll send you down an extra, footman.
He (a a quiet, unobtruiTe chap, and
knows his work, either as servant or do
tectlve. "I lmploro you to be very careful, my
lord, and keep your eyes open. I fancy
that you aro In danger.
"Your obedient Bervnnt.
"ANDREW MURRAY."
Lord Wlmberley read the letter through
twice, and then placed It on tho fire.
Then, leaving his breakfast, ho lit a pipe,
ana strolled out Into tho garden.
His fnce was stern, and there was a
grim look about tho lines of his mouth
and law. Ho was not thinking of any
danger that might threaten him. Ho was
thinking of Lady Wlmberley, and Vortl
gan's visit to. tho south of France, and
tho apparent affluence of Vertlgan, who,
up to quite, recent times, was believed to
have little moro than what ho earned
at the school.
CHAPTER XXXIIL
"Mother, dear."
"Yes, Joan."
"I get tired of all this sunshine, don't
you?"
Lady Wlmberley smiled, and traced a
wavy pattern on the ground with the
point of her parasol. Joan flushed.
"You- like It, mother?" she queried
rather sharply. "This place these peo
plethis everlasting blue sea?"
"AH of which, Joan, means, I sup
pose, that you want to go home."
"Yes. mother, I do. I think you would
bo better at home. At first I thought the
change was doing you good, but the last
few days oh, there U that odious little
man again."
The "odious little man," was Vertlgan,
He lifted his hat and seated himself by
their side.
"Glorious weather." he said, "but too
much of It. Upon my word, I think I'd
like to see a good shower of rain that
sort of rain that makes tho streets run
like rivers."
"Joan was saying very much the same,"
said Lady Wlmberley pleasantly. Mr.
Vertlgan had made It quite clear from
the outset that It would be In Lady
WImberley's Interests to be pleasant to
him at any rate In public.
"Then she's a very sensible young lady.
I hate the place, and I'm going to move
on when I've won a fortune at the
Casino."
Joan laughed. "Or lost one," she said.
"Yes. One would have to move then.
By the by, Lady Wlmberley, what about
that book you said you were going to
lend me?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I've left it at the
hotel, Joan, dear; you might Just go to
the hotel and bring that volume of poems
The Lute of Science. Mr, Vertlgan
wishes to read It."
Joan, only too glad to escape, rose .from
her seat and made her way along the
sea-front The smile died away from
Lady WImberley's lips.
"You might be more original, Mr. Ver
tlgan," she said, "the last time you
wanted to get rid of Joan you said I had
promised to lend you a book."
Vertlgan laughed, "Oh, well," he said,
"I must think of something better. I
want a thousand pounds."
"To lose at the Casino?"
"My dear lady, I lose very little at the
Casino, and I give out that I win large
sums. That will account for my com
parative -wealth when I return to Eng
land."
"This cannot go on." said Lady Wlm
berley, her voice trembling with anger.
"You havo had 1L0OO pounds from me
altogether, and 6000 from my husband.
It I give you this money today It shall
be the last"
"Almost the last," eald Vertlsan. rising
from his seat and taking off his hat
"Will you please send the money round
to my hotel In notes?"

She m&do me feel extremely flat;
The cost of living was her chat;
Milady spoke.
Milady chattered ot her dad;
I knew then It had never mattered;
Sho told of losing all he had;
My love grew cold, I felt less sad;
Milady chattered.
Milady cost me quite a mm,
Into the discard It is tossed;
To buy hor Jewels I was dumb.
Ere finding out but she was mum;
Milady cost.
Milady lost me on that walk;
Alas! that love should meet a frost;
I had no wealth, I had to balk;
And she, although I tried, would talk;
Milady lost.
Milady left, and strange to say,
I did not feel at all bereft;
But blithely went upon my way
And wondered how the debts to pay
Milady left.

show on the right side of the material
To do this, Just cut a piece (if cardboardj
