While them were sitting In the carriage on their way home from the ball, Henry Morgls felt that his wife was out of humor, and that nhe triod to keep something secret from him He had thr-. fullest confidence In his wife and she deserved It, their elsht years of mairlage had been one con tinuous honeymoon. Rich, popular and bociable, their life hud been one round of nleasure. The only shaow which darkened their happiness was that they had no children. He took his wife's band and drew her towards him and aked; "What la the mat ter with vou tonight. Blanche? Has anybody annoyed you?" She looked straight at him and said unhesitatingly: "Yes, Henry "Was it Philip Arnond?" "Yes. Kor somo lime he has ben following roe everywhere. At first, I did not th nk that It was anything but an nrcldent that I met him everywhere, but tonight, there was no mistake and ho behaved in a man ner which was very apt to make peo ple talk. He also addressed mo In a way which I told him 1 would not allow. What shall I do?" "The impudent fellow," Henry re plied, turning pale. "Do not let It worrv vou anv more, darling, he shall never do It again." The next day Henry Morgls met Arnond in the club. He went straight up to him and asked him In a very decided maimer to stop his annoy lug attentions to his wife. Arnond replied thai he had never behaved in a manner which deserved any re proach. A quarrel followed, which ended in a challenge. Seconds were chosen, and Arnond, who had the right of choosing the weapons, de cided In favor of pistols, both par ties to fire simultaneously at a dis tance of fifteen paces. Madame Morgls knew nothing of the duel until her husband entered her dressing room early the next morning. The sight of him made her tremble. "Henry, darling, what has happen ed to you?" He stood in front of her, his eyes bloodshot, hip features distorted. He was unable to litter a word. His hands wera trembling, he was hardly able to Btnnd. She tried to support him, but felt her strength give way. ".My God, what has happened to you?" Vie looked at her, with a far-away expression In his eyes and said In a hoarse voice: "I have killed a man." "Arnond?" He nodded, but did not gay a word. Arnond was hit by a bullet, he fell forward on his face and red foam oozing from his Hps, he drew a sigh and was dead. The seconds did not know what to do, but at last It was decided that they should both carry his dead body to his old mother, whose only son he was. In all the papers, colums wera written about the case, which caused a great sensation, because of the prominence of the parties Involved. Henry was arrested and for weeks lid remained In jail, but lit last his tid al came up and after a duel between the most eminent lawyers In the country, tha Jury acquitted him, de claring that, ho had been Justified in killing Armond, according to the rules of tho unwritten law. In a closed carriage Henry return ed to his wife, who was waiting for him at homo, dressed in deep mourn ing. He kissed her on the forehead as he had clone the evening she told him about Arnond, threw his arms around her neck and said In a tremb ling voice; "Let us go far away from here, darling. I cannot bear the idea of living here among people who will point me out everywhere I go." He could think of no better place than a small house he owned in Brittany, situated In the midst of dark pine forest?. "How beautiful It is here." They clapped each other's hands and both o! them hoped that here in these changed surroundings, they would be able to forget the horrid past. "Blanche aren't we happy?" "Yes, Henry, very, very happy." One afternoon they were Bitting at a small pond. Henry had been pick ing flowers and laughingly he scat tered them over his wife. But she sat there mute and silent, her eyes looking far into space. "Are you thinking of him?" "Yes." They understood that they were never more to be alone. The other was with them. He was there and drove all joy away, and both tremb led with fear. They told each other that it was the loneliness of the place which made them melancholy. "Let us go away from here, far, far away." They traveled through Spain, Italy and Switzerland but the shadow followed l hem everywhere .through the country. And they felt that they could not flee from It, that their happiness was forever destroyed, In spite of their Innocence, in spite of their love. ills lloely to Science. Edward F.
