drawers?" he began, attempting, not
very successfully, to put a bold face
upon the matter.
"Prying?" she snorted. "No, you vil
lain, I was not prying. I was looking
for something else when I accidentally
came across 'Girlie's' letters. Who is
this creature this hussy? Tell me at
once!" she insisted, llercely.
"They are love letters in a sense, but
not in a culpable sense. The writer of
them and T aie very much attached to
one another. Our attachment, however,
is purely platonic," declared this repio
bate. obstinately.
"Jinn!" she gasped, "von must bo
possessed by a devil. Nothing else can
account for the shameless impudence
with which you are brazening out your
exposure. But 1 will give you one more
chance. Who is this 'Girlie?' I shall
not ask you again. "Will you tell me?"
"No," said Mortimer, with dogged de
fiance. "Very well," replied his wife, In a
tone of awful resolution, "I shall leave
the vicarage this very night, with the
children, and take lodgings in the
neighborhood. What's more, I shall
make a point of lettting every one
know wily I have done so," she snld,
with savage determination.
She turned and stalked into the drawing-room.
Mortimer followed her, The
fatal letters were lying in a heap on
the tnble, as Mrs, Stedmnu had left
them when she brought them out of her
husband's studv.
"Give me those back," he demanded.
"I shall do nothing or the kind. I
mean to take them with me to show to
my friends If they ask any questions.
Besides, It is my Intention to find out
who this hussy Is by the evidence of
the handwriting."
"They are mine. You shall not take
them!" ho cried, making, as he spoke,
a movement toivaids the table.
She darted forward to intercept him.
Ho pushed her aside.
"You brute! You coward!" she
screnmed, "to use force with a wo
man"." "Letitia," lie said, "I wish you would
be reasonable."
No reply. Onlyti vicious coinpiession
of the lady's lips and a venomous glint
in her black eyes.
"If you were not blinded by jealousy
and prejudice you would see that thete
is no real burin in these letters."
"In fact," continued the vicar, "so
conlldent am I that no s-enstbln person
will find any harm in these letteis that
I have decided In tho event of your
making a public scandal of the matter
to publish them In my own defense.
Then every one will bo aide to see what
a mountain you are making out of a
molehill."
"Spare me your bravado," she replied,
frigidly, "As It you would dare publish
tho letteis!"
"I shall publish them If you insist on
leaving me. It Is duo to myself."
"I shall certainly leave you."
"Then I shall ceitiilnly publish them."
Twenty minutes later, a four-wheeler
drove up to the door, and Mrs, Sted
man and her children quitted the vicur
use, Next Sunday morning Rev, Mortimer
took the extraordinary step of alluding
to tho matter from tho pulpit,
"I feel," he Bald, with evident traces
of emotion in ids pale face, "that It Is
due to myself and to you to take tills
opportunity of offering a few words of
explanation on tho unfortunate differ
ence which, as you aro all aware, bus
arisen between myself and my wife.
"Tiie cause Is to be found in certain
letters written to me by a lady which
my wife found und read. She couhid
eied them impioper letters, but I can
not see that she bus any grounds for
that opinion. The letters, it is true,
ure affectionate letters, They were
written tu mo by one to whom l am
very much attached. But our affection,
as I assured my wife, is of a purely
Platonic description.
"Some of you, perhaps, do not believe
(ln such a thing. I fancy I delect an
Incredulous Btitilo on more than otic
face.' Iltil I call assure yoit that, so fat
as the writer uf tho letters and myself
ore concerned, It Is- the shirt truth.
And In older," said the vicar Impres
sively, "to put mysc,lf right with you
and others Who may be disposed to
condemn mo on hearsay, I have already
taken steps, with the consent of the
writer, to have ail these letters print
ed and publlshbd,
"They will appear In a small volume,
which will be issued as soon as it can
bo got through the press. Until then,
when you will be able to read the let
ters for youi self every 0110 of them Is
Included I earnestly nsk you all to
suspend your Judgment."
The Evening Eavesdropper, most en
terprising of all tlu halfpenny oracles,
sent down a member of its start to In
terview the vicar.
"Walt until the letters aro pub
lished," lie said, "and then comment
on them ns you please. I may say that
I await the verdict of the public with
every cqnlldelicc."
Further Interest was Imparted to the
affair by the action of the bishop,
wiio, being very much scandalised by
what he heard, sent for the vicar to
come over to ills palace and explain
himself,
"The whole affair," said his lordship,
severely, "strikes me as particularly
discreditable, and those remarks of
yours from the pulpit about platonic
affection are downright scandalous."
"I am sorry that you object to them,
my lord. But my wife's hasty conduct
forced mo to speak out lu my own
defense."
"And then to publish these letters!
It simply emphasizes a scandal which
otherwise might have been. hushed up."
"I did not desire it to be hushed up.
That would have been an admission of
guilt on my part. I court publicity."
"But they are love letters, written to
you, a married man and a clergyman,
by another woman."
"Love letters only in a sense a strict
ly platonic sense."
"Pish!" ejaculated tho bishop, an
grily. "I really cannot make out
whether you are demented, Mr. Sted
mnu, or merely Impudent."
"1 can only say to you, my lord, what
I have said to everybody else. Walt
until you have read the letters." '
In due couise the letters were 'tmb
llshed. They were devoured eagerly
on every hand. But I am sorry to say
that the consensus of public opinion
went dead against the vicar.
The letters, as letters, were well
enough. They were witty; they were
humorous; thpy were full, also, of
charming, tender phrases and graceful
erotic fancies. But as letteis written
to a mariide clergyman by a lady other
than his wife well, they were unques
tionably too warm.
"Not much Plato about this," wrote
a trenchant critic. "It's a good deal
more like the Song of Solomon."
Six weeks later the vicar called at the
house where his wife was lodging and
insisted upon seeing her.
"What do you want? What do you
mean by this Intrusion?" she demand
ed, fiercely. "I wonder you have tho
face but no! You have face enough
for anything."
"Laetltla," said her husband, with
humility, "I have been in error. I come
to beg your pardon."
"That Is very fine," sneerd Mrs. Sted
man. "Now that your inmpudent pub
lication of those letters I5y which you
madly hoped to enlist public sympathy
on your side has turned out otherwise
than you expected "
"True," interposed the vicar, meekly.
"Every one seems to condemn me.
There's not a newspaper I have seen
but has criticised the- letters lu the
most ruthless manner."
"Serves you light. Mortimer. You
tiled a brazen coup to put me In the
wiong. You have only succeeded in
blazoning yoilr iniquity thiough the
length and bteudth of the land."
"Laetltla," said the vicar, in a tone
or almost abject submission, "you left
me because 1 would not tell you who
'Girlie" was. I repent of my refusal.
1 have come to tell you now."
"Well" she demanded, looking at him
quickly.
" 'Girlie,' he said, shamefacedly, "Is
is a young woman typewriter "
"O, that's the class of creature you
carry on with, is it?" ejactuluted his
wife, bitterly.
"She she Is a good girl, and meant
no harm in writing the letters, I assure
you," pleaded the vicar.
"A likely story. The shameless bag
gage!" sneered Mrs. Stedinan,
"Laetltla," he said, "I will prove to
you the truth of what I say. The young
woman 'Girlie' did not compose the
letters. She merely copied them for
someone else." '
"I see!" cried his wife. "Someone else
whose hnndwrltlng you would have
known"
"Ves," confessed the vicar, "someone
else whose handwriting f would have
known,"
"Who is she?" dmnanded his wife,
with lenewed ferocity.
"It Is not a 'she' at all," replied the
vicar, quietly. "I knew, Laetltla, that
advertisement was everything, and so I
made use of you und of others to un
consciously advertise for me my maid
en literary effort with the icstilt that
fiO.OOO copies have already been sld.
I told you, if you remember, (hut
'Ciliile' was one who was very much at

truth," concluded tho vicar, "for 'Girlie'
Is myself!"
Note Mis. Stedman forgave the vic
ar, and a prefatory notice in the next
edition of "An English Parson's Love
Letters" put him right with the pub
lic, who, tickled by the daring ingenuity
of ills little dodge, and recognizing also
tho great cleverness of tho letters, luivo
established hlni as one of their favorite
authors. Ho lias since resigned his
meager living, and now makes a hand
