"Well, I don't know," said Lucy; here's a letter from Aunt Jane." "Aunt Jane? Did I ever meet Aunt Jane before she married?" Lucy got up and went around the breakfast table, looking troubled. "Tom dear, you remember that day you asked me to be your wife?" "Yes," he replied. "Why, wha's the matter?" "You remember I said I had an aw ful sin to confess a past, a present, nd a future; something you might never be able to forgive?" "Yes. I wouldn't listen." He put his arm around her. "Well, it was it was Aunt Jane." "Great Scott!" he replied. Aunt Jane arrived aa threatened, punctually a quarter of an hour late. She was always a quarter of an hour late, on principle. It aroBo out of a dislike for being kept waiting when asked out to dinner, for Instance, and v anrAfin nvpr inn wnnie ni nor isnta. owlnar to her morbid nas- ( 11- rtini mriLV. in iih n m iur hor for a week, so she was scrupulous ly late for everything. This was an noying, unless you knew her and al lowed for It; but so were most of the things Aunt Jane did. She was small, but enjoyed a deep bass voice. "Ah, my poor child," was hor greet Itig, "how HI you are looking." "I didn't know It," said Lucy meek ly. "You think you're happy, but I know better, poor thing. I see from your looks, from your manner, that you are utterly miserable. Now, confess, haven't I guessed right?" "I'm I'm perfectly happy," groaned Lucy, dismally. "I mean, I was till till" i "Till you came," was what she wantod to say, but her courage failed "Till you married!" said Aunt Jane, triumphantly. "Didn't I say so?". The manner of Aunt Jane had a cu fiously quelling effect upon all who allowed- themselves to be brought un der Its spell. Having extracted this admission, she followed up her sue cess by a skilful cross-examination, which reduced the poor girl to tears, and almost persuaded her that her husband was the most brutal scoun drel on earth. Every little Instance of his Irritability, every little protest however gentle, about lateness of breakfast or toughness of beet, was dragged out of ber by tortuous means, carefully exaggerated and embellished with details supplied from Aunt Jane's own liiBtlnct, and fitted Into Its place In an elaborate and highly colored mosaic of perfect villainy. And when It was done, so dlfllcult was It to dis tinguish fact from fancy that Lucy was woudorlng how on earth she could ever have married the man at all. "And now, my dear," said Aunt Jane, "to follow up your suggestion that he Is concealing something far worse than all this" Lucy had never suggested anything of the kind, but ho saw now how probable it was "just tell me fully anything be may have confided to you and any suspi cions you may have that be is keep ing anything buck. Thore should be no .secrets between a man and his wife's aunt." "No, Aunt," said Lucy, struggling with her tears; "I quite agree." "For instance, does he receive let ter which he doesn't allow you to look at?" . "I 1 don't know; I never asked him," 1 she sobbed. "Poor child poor, simple child!

TAMP JlLl Ae t WORNE. .TAv VvW 1 "Y yes, he does, usually; but but I don't know anything about the gloating." She dried ter eyes be tween each word. "No; the housemaid would see that." "I sup suppose she would." "And doesn't it strike you as suspi cious that the housemaid hasn't told you about it? Looks like a conspira cy, doesn't It, eh?" ' Lucy clinched her hands and said she ought to have suspected it, it was so obvious. Ah, my poor child, the obvious is o seldom visible! I find that people very often miss what to me Is as clear as daylight." Aunt Jane had never been on a scent so hot. "And have you access to all cup boards, drawers, safes?" "I I think so," was the faltering reply. "Think so!" said Aunt Jane. "That's a pretty state of mind for a wife. Take me to his study at once! Am I not his wife's aunt?" This was said because Lucy seemed to hesitate. Together they went to the study. Aunt Jane sniffed con temptuously. "Smoke!" she snorted. "He smokes?" Lucy admitted It. "And drinks, I've no doubt?" "Y yes, I'm afraid so." "And plays cards?" "I I think so, a Uttle." "Poor dear, poor dear! What more do you want? Now, show me this se cret drawer ycu were complaining of, She hadn't complained of any, but pulled the handles of several and at last found one that wouldn't open. "There you art)!" came the trium phant cry. "Have you ever seen In side this?" Lucy couldn't remember that she had or had ever wanted to. "Doesn't It fit in wonderfully?" said Aunt Jane. "In there lie the letters over which be and the housemaid gloat in the early morning." Lucy saw It all clearly. "And I have no doubt there havo been times when he ha told you, with a pretence of sympathy, not to be In a hurry to get up?" Lucy did remember one or two in stances, when she had a slight cold. Aunt Jane chuckled. "I never met a married couple yet who oughtn't to be divorced at once," she said. "This must be finally set tied this evening, and I will stay by your side till be gives a satisfactory explanation. He never will; it won't bear explanation." "I am very grateful to you, Aunt,' said Lucy. "Show me my room, poor thing. I always take a rest before dinner." "I am sure you must require it,' said Lucy, leading the way up stairs. "And mind," said Aunt Jane at the door, "not a word to him about this till I tackle him; you would only put him on his guard and give him an opportunity of destroying the only ev idence we have." "I will not mention It," sold Lucy, humbly. When Tom came In, he was met at the door, as usual, by his wife. He thought It strange, but supposed she was looking after her guest. When he came down to the drawing room punctually, Lucy was alone there, looking gloomily into the fire. She did not turn on his entrance. "Well, my dear," be said cheerily, "has our sin come home to us?" "If you mean," replied Lucy, with hauteur, "has-my dear Aunt Jane ar rived, she has." "That's what I meant," he said, a little surprised, "And am I to be a model or an awful example?" "It la not necessary for me to teach you to wear the cloak of hypocrisy,' she replied, with tear coming to ber vae, . He raised his eyebrow. "Why, what on earth what' the matter, dear?" He tried to kiss her, but she drew away from him. She was sobbing bit terly. You ask mo," she said, "you, with all those with all that" She nearly flung the guilty letter In , hi teeth, but remcmbereoT her aunt's warning Just In time. "With all thoie what?" he asked, bewildered, But not another word could he get from ber, and he was standing looking at her with an ex pression of utter amazement when Aunt Jane sailed in, a quarter or an hovr late. She required no Introduc tion. rrr.vSivx'fl You are the man, I suppose?" she et'.d, with a snap of the teeth. He bowed. How do you do. Aunt Jane?" he said. "I hope you had a pleasant Journey." "So-so. No thanks to you!" "Dear Aunt Jane," he said softly. I wired to the porters to be polite." It was clear that he did not take her seriously, and Lucy was indignant. 'I hear," said Aunt Jane, as they settled round the dinner table, "that you are a lawyer?" "I am," raid Tom. VNever could stand lawyers," she went on; "a nasty, deceitful lot of ser pents." "Indeed they are," said Tom, loathly, crawling creatures." He shook his head solemnly. Being unable to put the case more strongly, Aunt Jnne found herself un expectedly with nothing more to say. So she turned, with pity in her voice, to Lucy. My deir, I wonder you allow your cook to stay in the house." 'Do you suggest a shed at the bot tom of the garden for hor?" said Tom, gently interrupting. He had decided to assume the offensive. She Ignored him. "This soup," she snld, "Is disgraceful." Lucy apologized humbly. So did Tom. Take awny Miss Wilkin' soup," he said to the ervant, and it went be fore Aunt Jane had time to clutch the plate. It was long before any-j thing else was said by anybody, but Tom seemed to be enjoying his din ner. Indeed, the two ladies were dls Runted at the brazen Impudence of the fellow. Lucy longed for the end of this ghastly meal and yet feared what was to follow. At last the servants left and. Aunt Jane coughed signifi cantly. Tom looked up. Lucy said, timidly: "Let us go." No," said Aunt Jane; "the time has come." "Has it?" asked Tom. cracking a nut. "Your conscience," said Aunt Jane, 'must tell you that you owe an ex planatlon to your wife." "Must it?" asked Tarn, checking a smile. "Don't lose your temper, sir," said Aunt Jane. She always began an ar gument like that It seldom failed, "Lucy, tell him what you want to know." I I hadn't we better go into the drawing room?" stammered Lucy. "No! I will protect you." She turned fiercely upon Tom. "You have letters In a drawer in your study which is locked. Don't deny it!" 'I won't," said Tom. "It's probably quite true." By your brutal conduct you thought you had cowed this poor child's spirit so that she would make no inquiries." "How did you guess?" said Tom "But I have come, sir!" "I can't deny it," he said. "And I shall remain and protect my helplosa niece forever, if necessary." "She warned me" that something of the kind might hE?pcn," he said, help ing himself to a banana. "Are you going to show me tho30 letters?" "Certainly not; they are private.' Aunt Jane tried to wither him with contempt, but was so unsuccessful that she felt that, unless she retreated in hasto, she would lose her temper her self. "Come!" she said. "Leave him to his conscience." As they went out Tom said to his wife: "Are you a party to this silly nonsense?" but she did not deign to answer. It was all beyond doubt, now, on his own confession. Tom smoked a cigarette. He hadn't a notion what the row was about, but there would obviously be no peace till Aunt Jane went. So he changed his plan of attack and strolled into the drawing room. The two were on the EIGHT BLACK hrdlupu sofa. Aunt Jane's arm was round Lucy's waist. They looked ferociously at him, turned away, shuddered, and wore silent He sat down on an easy chair and took up a book. For five minutes nothing was heard but indig nant breathing. Suddenly he re marked, "I saw the doctor again to day." There was no reply. Aunt Jane clasped Lucy tightly. He went on. "I auked him what he thought," Still a silence. You could hear their shoulders shrugged. "He said It was a Uttle hard to ex plain the green spots, but the pink and yeUow ones were either scarlet fever or something In-ltls and were quite well known in the profession." Aunt Jane had released ber hold on Lucy and was looking at him with open mouth. He want on casually, "I asked, was It Infectious? He said you can't tell until somebody ha caught It from you." Aunt Jane was standing up. "But, he says, In case there should be any danger, I had better avoid the company of all the near relative of myself or my wife." Lucy hurried up to him with alarm on ber face. Aunt Jane backed tow ard tb door. "Dear Aunt," he said advancing with outstretched hand, "you're not going yet. surely?" She gave a little scream and lumped away. In a moment she was out of the room. Lucy turned to him with concern. "I it serious, dear.?" she asked. 'Just you see that Aunt Jane get comfortably out of the house." Lucy understood, and the spell van ished. Aunt Jane was up stairs, hur riedly putting ou her hat and Coat and muttering aloud, 'I'll taks a loom at the hotel till tomorrow. Bend on my box. No, I tin afraid I can't wait I shall be late I it Is. Write and tell me how he Is getting on, and don't forget to dis infect the letter why didn't you tell mo this before you Invited me? Tho Incompetence of some doctors! and sprinkle it all over the carpets. Good- hy." She scurried down the stairs. Tom was in the hall to say good-by. She dodged round him and cut at tho door as if 20 microbes were snapping at her heels. The deserted couple sighed with re lief. Lucy put her head on Tom's shoulder. "I am so glad she's gone, dear. I think she's a witch; sho seemed to get hold of my mind, somehow." "Let's go and look at the guilty let ters," be said. "No, I don't want to see." "Well, thoy are only what you wrote to me before we were married." So she brought what he wrote to her, and he brought what she wrote to him, and they exchanged bundles and sat at opposite sides of the table, and he knocked on the table and shot across to her the first in date and she shot across to him her reply to it; and he read it and shot across the next, and so on all through the list, and when they came to the thing which meant kisses There Is a good parlor game for two.
