OF INTEREST T THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XIX (Copyright, I£l6, Star Company.) Myra Webb was too much agitated to want to take a car immediately on leaving: the Imperial Magazine office. She felt as if she must walk fast to give vent to her inward excitement. For, although she had maintained a calm exterior, every nerve in her body seemed to be twitching. She wanted to laugh, to cry. to tell her self over and over that at last she had sold a story for a price far be yond her expectations or dreams. She walked quickly from Fourth avenue to Fifth, then turned north ward at Thirteenth street, hardly conscious of the crowd of pedestrians about her. The rapid motion was an actual relief. Mentally, she relieved the scene, through which she had just passed, the editor's words, her own suppressed amazement at the price he offered for her short story. She knew that many writers re ceived much larger prices, but these were well-known authors. Yet here was she, a nobody, getting $l5O for a story. How wonderful Horace would consider it. For, of course, she would tell him. He had a right to know about it. Dusk had settled down upon the city, but she did not heed it. She had walked at least two miles, and had passed from Fifth avenue over to Broadway before she appreciated that she was tired. Then, glancing at her watch, she saw how late it was. She must take a car home. Stopping a Broadway car, she boarded it and took a. seat. The car had a flat wheel and it seemed to keep time with the rhythm of her thoughts. "One hundred and fifty! One hun dred and fifty!" it clanked over and over. She let herself into her apartment with her latch key. "Is that you, mother?" Grace call ed from the livingroom. "Father's been having the fidgets about you. It's halfpast six, you know." "I did not realize it until a few minutes ago." the mother replied. "Where's your father?" "In his room, lying down. I think. He said he was dead tired. And I fancy he was disappointed at your not being here." A moment later Myra Webb was at her husband's side. "Aren't you well, dear?" she asked. "Well enough," he said, gloomily, "but tired.' "That's too bad." she sympathized, as she removed her hat, furs and coat, and put them away. "Where have you been?" he in quired. "Downtown, to see an editor, dear." She sat down on the bed by him and took his unresponsive hand in hers. "I wish you wouldn't stay down in the business part of town so late." he complained. "I don't like you to come tip on the subway at the rush hour. Some people cannot avoid the dis agreeable experiences. You can."

"I walked a good part of the way, then took the surface car." As he made no re joinder, she added. "I have something nice to tell you. Horace." "What is it?" His tone was In curious. "I have sold a story, dear." "Through that rascally agent again?" he demanded sharply. "Oh, no!" Her answer held a note of pain. Why could he not take her com munication happily, approvingly? But of course he did not know how good it was. Poor Horace! He had had enough knocks to make him suspi cious of all news. "No, indeed," she repeated, more calmly. "I learned a lesson from him. I sold the story to The Im perial Magazine. The editor sent for me to talk to me about It. He offered me $l5O for it." "Really!" The exclamation -was in a more genial tone and even ex pressed well-bred surprise. "Did you name your own price, or is that what the editor offered of his own accord?" "That is what he offered." she said. "I was astonished and very happy, dear." "I hope you did not show your astonishment, Myra, nor let him know how glad you were." "No. Horace, I did not." She felt as if a pail of-cold water had been dashed over her enthusiasm, chill ing it suddenly. She had hoped that her news would delight her husband and make him forget his troubles. Well, she would try again. "One reason I am so glad, dear," she said. "Is that now 1 can help you with this month's rent. Yod must let me do this." "Thank you," he said, slowly, "but only on a loan, you know. I will pay you back, of course." "That must be as you think best," she rejoined. Was he afraid to seem too grateful to her? She wondered. "And, Horace, I want to pay you for the extras that having company has put on the housekeeping bills. I wish, by the way, that you would return to the plan we had when we first moved up here—let me have a regular house keeping allowance, and if I exceed that I will make it up out of my own money." "All right," he assented. "We drift ed out of that, somehow. But go carefully. Myra. You may not strike another such bit of luck. And that reminds me—when is the check from The Imperial coming?" "The first of the month." "Have you that assurance in writ ing?" "Why, no," she said. "I did not thing it necessary." Grace knocWed at tl\e door. "Mother, she announced. I.izzie says dinner is ready, but that the dessert you were to order hasn't come in." "No," Myra replied dully. "It hasn't come because I forgot all about ordering it. I am sorry." (To Be Continued.)

"Ad" Promises Not Kept Are Fraud, U. S. Supreme Court Declares in Decision Special to the Telegraph Washington. D.
