Coryrlht. iio, WMttra N.w.paptr Union "Ton nre temperamental,' profound ly announced Prof. Erastus Vandeller to Ronyvld Dempster. "What does that mean?" Inquired 'the latter, and lie winked at hi friend, Don Pnrker. who had Induced rlilm to expend a dollar to get the era Mllte bump expert to cast his horoscope, ;o to speak. "You are prone to Jump at conclu sions." "You've hit It rlpht. professor." ac Unowledced Ronald buoyantly. "And why not? Have I missed It? Got mar ried on an Impulse, and what a treas ure I've won! Chanced my business -over night and drifted straight Into the -current of success." "You are also quick-tempered," con tinued Professor Vandeller. "Rut sunshiny, and come up smiling 'the next minute." "And you are disposed to be Jen!- At this Ronald fairly booted. ""What's that? Say It again. Don, do ':j ou hear? Me, Jealous I Thy, mnn, I could only be so of my wife, who loves -jne to distraction and ts as near an vanget as a superior human being can "be." The imputation dwelt with sanguine TRonald Dempster after that. He ex pressed himself volubly on the matter -as he and his friend left the sanetum f the bump reader. Ronald told his ;wlfe of the circumstance and together ithey laughed over It . "The Ideal" resented Edith, and wanted to visit the professor and give lm a piece of her mind. "Why. Ron aid," sle cried, "you are Just perfect I" It was two days after that when a -friend, meeting Ronald on the street passed the time of day with him and onade the remark : "I saw Mrs. Dempster out for an airing over at the park," be observed. "IIov well she looks. And that hand some man with her! Some visiting rrelattve, I suppose?" "Wife handsome man relative?" repented Ronald. "Are you sure it was rmy wife?" "Didn't see her face, but couldn't unlsthke that chic blue bat she wears, and the coat to mutch, and the fur col aar." "Nonsense!" ejnculnted Ronald, a jrood deal stirred up and then, steady ing himself. "I suppose more than one woman In the world wears that same outfit. As to relatives, handsome or Aioniely, we have none nearer than Chicago.", - -..v "That so? My mistake. So long." Ronald was restless and uneasy all .rthat afternoon. He arrived at home ialf an hour earlier than usual, to be .greeted with delight from Edith on nc count of that welcoirie circumstance. "P.een out today, Edith?" was his tlrst question. "Dear me. no, with my sore throat Although It's a little better this eve ring. Resides, this la the maid's day off, you know." Ronald was satisfied and relieved. But as he left the house that day ,rto a week the fierce fire of a terrible fear drove him forth with a torturing Idea. In the upper hall he had picked vp a half-written sheet of paper. It .bar In pencil some lines unmistakably In Edith's perfect handwriting. It iread: "Because I really believe yon love roe as you say you do I will meet you iln Forest park, south end, at two o'clock Thursday afternoon." Heavens! Horrors! A demon of tfrantlc bloodthlratlness seemed tug ging at the wildly beating heart of TXlonald Dempster. Ills own wife's ihnnd writing! The same park where Tils friend had seen Mrs. Dempster! Slow he withheld himself from return ing to the house and giving expression to his agony before her he could not analyze. He passed a wretched fore noon. Long before two o'clock he was et Forest park at the south end. From a clump of bushes affording a clear view of the various paths he peered and fumed and fretted. "At last!" he bolted forth, and his "eyes glared and he cienched his hands and his face grew red and furious. A man, and a handsome one, occu pied a bench not thirty feet away from the spot where Ronald stood. Beside fclm was peated oh! who could It be hut Edith? !' Ronald bad been smoking furiously to calm his perturbed nerves. He puffed wildly as he stole up to the couple on the bench. Within two feet of the pair, he removed the cigar from between his lips. Squarely, crushlngly, be Jabbed It against the band of the bandsome man. With a wild howl of rage and pain, 'the latter sprang to his feet He Im mediately discovered his assailant and be started to make a wild rush, tor tured with the agony of the burn. Just then Bis companion turned. Ronald fell back with a gasp. "Martha the maid!" he uttered li hollow tone. "Oh, my 1" "It's Mr. Dempster my employer!" explained Martha, tugging at the ant f her companion. "That hat that coat! voiced Ron ald. "I didn't steal them. And this Is my young man Robert Penfleld, sir. Mrs. Dempster gave me the things and she belped me to write to Robert, too. I don't spell very good and " "Get some salve for your band. I ac cidentally burned, my good mnn," pla cated Ronald, extending a twenty dol lar bill. "No chunge. And when yon two get ready to mr.rry. call on mt for Toor wedding expenses." HEMIXttFORD Mrs. A.
