Why, you hadn't a slik dress to your back how many?’ She smiled faintly, but did not answer, Uncle Peter died out in Colorado and feft us his money, and it was a fine day for us when we left Farm and poverty for a costly city home and everything we want” Sarah Platt sighed softly. Now that the first novelty and excitement of pos sessing a fortune had worn off, she was most miserable, and she had asked the question to see if her husband felt the same. How could she know that his cheery answer was only for her benefit; that he, too, longed for the days of poverty and freedom; and found the possession of a house and host of servants wearisome in the extreme? But he believed that Lis wife enjoyed it all not for worlds have disturbed what he imagined was her condition of pleased contentment As a matter of fact, sway over the house and servants was only nominal news of thelr accession to great wealth came to them, they had been quietly and poorly on a tiny Pennsyl- vania farm, and, when they moved from it to the metropolis, they realized that they were unfit to cope unalded with their altered circumstances. The wealthy never lack friends, and so many friends made their appearance quite bewildered at all the conflicting advice they received Eventually— bow, they hardly knew—they found themselves installed in a house whose magnificence frightened them, and where they never feit at home, and they and it were under the absolute control of Mrs. Dagleish and Mr. Hutchinson. The first was Mrs. Platts companion; the second Mr. Platt's sec retary; they both ruled their employ- ers with a rod of iron It seems almost incomprehensible that the two old people ofuld be so wretched, each erroneously thinking ft was for the sake of the other, but so it was, and the unhappy condition of affairs might have gone on indefin- itely, but for the growth of the seed of jealousy which it has been said 1s in every woman's heart It cannot be sald what caused Its growth ip the heart of Sarah Platt to torment and barass her in addition to the sorrows of wealth which she al- ready bore. Why she was jealous, of whom, or of what, she did not know It may have been from a joking re mark made one day by Mrs. Dagleigh; ft may have been because John very rarely came into the parlor for tea with ker; it may have been for any | reason or for no reason; dut the tact | remains that a tiny seed of jealousy took root, and from it sprang a slen- der stalk of suspicion and mistrust showed her where much of his time. She and Mrs. Dag Dagleish’'s watch repaired. While she idly waiting in the carriage and watch- ing the passersby, she saw her hus- band turn into a large office bullding | on the other side of the street.

He's got an office in No. 12, on the top floor, but, so far as one can see, he does nothing. He never has no letters, nor nor visitors, and his office Is never cleaned, for he won't let no one inside the door.” “Is he here now?’ asked Mrs. Plat, her heart beating wildly, for she feit she was on the brink of some discov: ery, and, although she hated herself for being where she was and her rea sgn for being there, she determined to finish what she Lad begun She but I think he came In about half an bour ago. I'll take you up In the elevator, If you like, ma'am.” And in & moment or two Sarah Platt was standing outside the door marked “12,” behind which she felt lay all she wanted to know. She tapped timidly; the door flew open: her husband stood before her “Sarak! You here! What bas hap pened? What Is ky His ruddy face AE.
