CHAPTER V.
A Wife Aroused.

f2!-C d'Kr. liut tlio onlv reply
wliL h Le vuucLsafeJ to lier was - Go J
niuijt!" ilolivered with more than tlie
usual emphasis.
Now s!ie lieU hini by the 'zr of her
'.one. She tvoiiM not dismiss the t 'pio
tIuk. IVrhaps there Lad leon sonif
;hin in "the other woman's" voice as
?-Le had demanded speevli nlth Trask
wliU-h liad aroused the tiirrss whii-li
is hitent in every woman stornod. even
the nitektst. I'erlwps It was the con
temptuous, sworn ful manner of Trask
himself whii.lx roused 1-er. It was not
simple jealousy. Tlie tirae for that had
passed years before. I'erhaps it was
the feeHii'4 that now she iuut insist on
lier conjugal rights, so lum: tlouted.
To his "ood iiiuht" she replied:
"Sol I want to know who she is."
Track's irritation now broke out
openly. His speech was rude as he an
swered: "What's the good of raslncr me like
this? I teM you I don't know who she
is. 1 suppose it is some business mat
ter." "Nobody would call you up at this
time of nibt on business. Ton know
very well it's not business.
"Well, what's your theory?
And Joan Trask. seeing that it ws
hopeless to pursue the former line of
ouestioriinjr. flared out at lilm with:
rn?if von vpr foinfr trt elm iiltp?" '
"Am . 1 r.evcr pnhijr to have a min
i;tt's jKace? You're as jealous as a
sciioL.ry.irl. You're forever raising- a
racket about somelhirj?. If I look at
a woman or a w"mau talks to me
you're ready to fly at her throat."
A pain the wror.ped wife tjMike.
"Di'U t you think you give me cause,
the way you conduct yourself? You
seem to forget that you have a wife."
It was the obvious retort, the cheap
wit that replies, but does not answer,
which prompted him to say: "You ::ev
tr give me a chance to forget it. Kv
t ry time we're alone it's the same
thing."
"Then why don't you treat me as
your wife?"
His tone was querulous and rising as
be said:
"I don't seo what you're complaining
about. I don't brat you. do I? You
pet everything you want. You po
where you please ud when you please.
I allow you more money than you can
possibly spend, and your time is all
your own. Do you thitk there are
many women who can say the same?"
It was the old. old argument ad
dressed to the woman who is "bought
with a price." Almost since the time
of Adam men have believed that they
coul 1 buy women with maintenance,
with dress, with jewels, with social
Iosiiiou. Always the real woman, the
soul that is beyond nil price, that can
be kept only by affection, genuine love,
Las eluded them. The husk may be
bought; the grain is given free. The
woman's soul of Joan Trask. mure
priceless than any of her diamonds or
pearls or rubies, was not to be pur
chased by the things of which her hus
band siwike. It had been given to him
freely in the beginning. He had drag
ged it through the mire of his indiffer
ence and unfaithfulness, and she had
taken it back and cleansed it and
nursed it in secret. It might yet be
Lis. but he must earn it anew.
Jt was Ler soul wbich spoke in the
words:
"Do you think that's all I care about?
Iou't jou suppose marriage means
nnvtbing to me but sending money
and amusing myself? What good is it
if I haven't the companionship of my
Jiusband?"
The words struck a chord of coarse-J
ness fn him. "Companionship of my
husband?" It was not in that vein
that the women sioke with whom he
consorted. He seated himself again.
Tor a moment Le stared at her in
amazement, then Le recovered himself
and said blasphemously:
"My Jod, are you going to get senti
mental?" "I've never known what it meant to
be really married," said Joan Trask
sadly. Tor si years I Lid myself
away because I didn't Lapieu to suit
your family."
"Well, you didu't lose by it." said
the man to whom money was all or
nearly all. "If my father had cut me !
2; von wouldn't be living iu luxury to-1
day."
"ATI your money hasa't brought me
Lappiiiess. No .other woman would
-fiovelijed by
Charles NXurie
lav
have borne what I Lave for fifteen
years. If you had a spark of manhood
in you you'd lead a decent life if not
for my sake, then for your children's."
His manner changed from the iron
ical and contemptuous to tlie sarcastic.
The mention of children, which brlnrc
the light of joy and Inie to the eyes
of the true father and the gladness of
life to bis heart, wrought no miracle in
the soul of this man. so burdened to
all true feel-tig. With a sneer he re
plied to his wife, tlie mother of his
children:
"OIi. now we're around to the chil
dren again!"
"Yeu never consider therr.. They'll
soon be old enough to understand."
It was in an aggrieved tone that lie
responded, as though he had been ac
cused unjustly:
"They've got everything they want
too. They're getting a good edcratioi

ind a liberal allowance. That's all
Llh-y have a right to expect of me."
Oil. shortMiihiod father:
"You're sending them out 5i:b the
world with a stigma'
"Oh. stigma be hanged! I lend a
pretty straight life. You d m't expect
tne to it by tlie ires'ule twirling my
thumbs, do you? I've got time for
that thirty years from now."
It was with a sinking heart that
Joan Trask recognized the futility of
her arguments and her appeals ro her
husband. When reasoning fails fear
nnd self interest will prevail some
limes. She decided to adopt a diffcr
eiit course with her sneering, cynical
husband. Wifely devotion had failed,
iippeal to parental love had been iu
vain. She would try compulsion.
Her voice lost its appealing quality
iind took-ou the tone of indignant wo
manhood." conscious of its rights, as
be said:
"I won't sfaiid it any longer I'll get
a divorce!"
The threat failed of its effect
"Well, go ahead: I won't attempt to
prevent you." said Trask.
"No, you'll be glad. I suppose."
"I Won't be sorry, you can wager on
that."
Again the tone stung her. Hut this
time in her reply there was soinet'i'ng
wliich had been, absent theretofore
contempt for the man whose name she
bore.
"And I've been living with you all
these years!" she flung at Lim. I'ut
again her words and tone failed to hit
their mark, if indeed they were intend
fcj to rouse him
"Well, why have yon?" he asked
"You know why to keep up appear
ances on account of tin; children to
t'.inr-i-v--v''
give" them a pood name."
"And because I took pretty good care
of you." There was insult in the
words and manner, and her indigna
tion, which had mounted steadily, now
flared out in volcanic hriger. She spoke
at length, for some time brooking no
interruption:
"You talk as though you had been
bribing me to throw away my self re
spect I won't take any more of it.
I'll bring suit against you tomorrow.
I should have done it years ago. I
did not because I always took your
word. I always deluded myself into
the belief that you were goin to
change. I've waited just thirteen
years longer than I should. I might
Lave known, after that affair at Great
Neck'
He Lad been listening to Ler quietly,
making no effort to stem the rising
tide of Ler wrath. At the words

"What's the use of kicking up a row?"
"Great Neck," however, Le stiffened
in Lis chair. Lis hands gripped its edge
tightly and Lis face tool: on an aspect
of ugly hardness as Le checked utr
with :
"Now. see here!"
In her voice there was an added note
of sorrow as she went on:
"Oh. 1 haven't forgotten it. although
it is thirteen years ago. That little
Miss Deane. that innocent child and
to think that I have lived with you
after that!"
At the beginning of the interchange
of words, w hen 'lover left the room,
he had been seated. As her feelings
Mounted she had risen and had moved
uneasily about the chamber. as
though the spirit that possessed Per
would net let her rest I'ut now. -with
the mention of the "Miss i'e.n.c."
whose name seemed to s'ir her so
deeply, she seated htrsclf in an arm
chair and sat there rigid, with clinch
ed hands. She did not look at Trask.
Whoever Miss Deane Lad been or
was and no matter what emotion the
memory of Ler awakened and stirred
in the breast of Joan Trask it did not
seem to aCTeot Gerald Trask. save that
he now seemed possessed of a wish to
have the painful scene over with.
I'erhaps it was with a desire to reach
the end that he now said. "Nevermind
digging up ti e past."
"I will -dig up the past!' " said Mrs.
Trask. "I'll tell the whole story to the
world and let it see what manner of
man you are and have been."
Was it fear that now possessed the
heart of Gerald Trask, insensible to
other, higher motives? After all. de
spite his cynical disregard of his wife's
marital rights. sLe Lad aided him in
maintaining the place in tlie social
world to which he Lad been born. If.
goaded lieyond endurance, she laid bare
lo the world the tale of his inil.lelitios
and worse she could do irreparable
uaniage to Lis reputation. Had he any
friendships which could stand the
strain? Could a man such as he was
have, my real friends? In au in
stant, with the incalculable rapidity of
thought, his mind ran over tiie list of
acquaintances. At the end of the list
came Strickland. Strickland!
II is thoughts swung back to Joan
sitting, scornful anil indignant, before
him. It was plain to the man of tb;.
world that now he Lad "gone the lim
it" Hut little more was needed to
force his wife over the precipice to
which their steps Lad been converging
for years. He knew Ler w enough
to realize that, Ler resolution to divorce
him once taken, she would not turn
back from the bitter road, whit hers
ever it led. Not even the thought of
the children, so much dearer to her
than to him, would deter her. he knew.
l'laiuly Le saw that the conjugal af
fairs of the Trasks had reached a crisis
Slid he must avert it. His words were
conciliatory.
"Look Lore, Joan, what's" the use of
kicking up a row? That divorce idea
is if II nonsense. There's no reason why
we can't go on together."
"No. I'm through with you," she sai 1.
"I've forgiven you a dozen times, and
it's been the same thing over again.".
' There was no sign of weakening in
Ler tone. He knew now that he could
not afford to argue with Ler further.
It must be as a suppliant be must ap
proach her. The woman who hid
yielded to Lis will all thee yea vs. Lad
condoned his otfenses "for the sake of
the children" and for the s;.ke of ap
pearances lefore the world, revealed
"aerselljit last us willing; to by tLe Lais-
tress of her own fate. More stroug!;.
thau before tlie desirability nay. tl'
necessity of conciliating her impressed
itself ltpoii him. He pleadeil with her.
rising from his chair, going over to her
and bending over Ler.
"Make Ibis the last time." he begged.
"What do you want me to do?"
