"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."
