KEMBLE walked out of the special ist’s office with a feeling of ex traordinary elation. All his troubles had suddenly disappeared under the effect of that unexpected verdict. He walked out into the sunshine and took his way homeward. The brute was thinking of a lot of things but principally about May. Would slit, be glad or sorry? He knew Maj would not sorrow over much If he were to die. He and May had been married five years, and those five years had been the unhapplest portion of his life. The brute, May called him, but he hud never been physically brutal to her. They had simply failed to agree. They were the type of people who ought never to have married. That was what the trouble was. They had loved each other In the beginning, and at first they had striven so hard to come to some sort of un derstanding; but when they found that was Impossible they had ceased to fine, and had gone on their way In bland Indifference to each other. Some times Kemble had wondered whether May was capable of doving at all. She was so detached, so like an automa ton. she cared for nothing outside her housework. . . . lie reached his home at last, and the sight of It struck him queerly, as if it had been something that he had never seen before. The furniture looked strange, and lie watched May as if she had been a strange woman. ‘‘Did you see the doctor, Howard?” He nodded. “What did he say was the matter with you?” “Oh, nothing much,” answered The Brute. “It isn’t serious?" “No.” And he thought for a moment that a flash of regret passed over her face, quickly masked by the usual indiffer ent expression. And lie wondered what site would do if he were to die. He would at least leave her comfortably provided for. Probably she would marry again very speedily. Some man would marry her for her money. And then, probably, May would realize that he had not been quite such a brute after all. Had it been disappointment that he was going to get well after all? Dur ing tlie following days the constraint between them seemed to deepen. Once or twice Tlie Brute caught sight of tear stains on May’s face. He was i»&UTy. for iie was really a soft-heart ed brute, though May had never real ized! that. She had never tried to un derstand him. * How did it come about that May ►eft that fetter she had been writing mseilled? She trusted The Brute! Jmt thought flashed through his mind Itnd made him proud. She trusted him not to read the unsealed note ly ng in her blotting pad when she had .gone out shopping. She did not think ’jiim a* dishonorable brute, then—simply ,n brute. And if he read it, it was only be ause just now he felt an overwlielm ng drure to know something more of ilie workings of May's mind. That "jus: '*"”<1 him in his own as lie drew tlie letter out of its enclosure. But tlie reading of It came to The rVn;;o as a staggering shock. It was, m fact, a love letter, and written to a 1 man whom Tlie Brute knew very well. - It was written to Brampton. But it had never entered his mind that May .-.id Brampton could possibly he in love with eaeli other. “And so, darling," The Brute read, ‘there seems no chance of future hap 'pinass for us. His illness, on which we built such ltopes, is not a serious one. He and I will continue to live together, and quarrel with each oilier— yop know what a brute he Is—and we shall grow old and faded, and you and I can never be anything more to each other than we are now. It breaks my heart, dearest, to have to write to you like this, hut there you are!” The Brute put the missive carefully back in Its enclosure and stood for a while in thought. He felt strangely happy to think that May had found some one whom she could love. He was happy that she had that need of love. He looked out of the window and saw tier coming up the street. She looked attractive, she was still in her prime; yes, she and Brampton could be very happy together. And The Brute rejoiced with all his heart that he had not told tier, that he would never tell her that the spe cialist had given him two months of life ami then a sudden death. Revenge Is Sweet. “Say. Gabe!" chided a companion. “When that there infernal automobile tore past, slinging mud all over us, you Just grinned. What's tiie matter with you—got religion, or something?” “Nope!" tvas the reply. “But the freshet washed out the bridge around the bend in the rend, and that there haughty cuss win proh’iy be In the creek up to his neck by the time we get there."—Countn Grntlentan (Phil adelphia).
