"Of course women can't help being
Inquisitive." said Mr. Pedrie loftily.
"I always make allowances, Phoebe,
for woman's greatest falling." ;
'And what Is man's greatest failing,
or has he so many it's hard to select'

with spirit. "Talk about curiosity.
Why, Phlneas Pedrie, I've seen just as
many curious men as you have women
so there!"
"Pshaw. Phoebe! You cannot name
one case where a man has displayed
more than ordinary Interest in ntrairs
which were not his own." And Mr.
Tedrle folded his newspaper and chal
lenged his wife with raised brows.
Apparently Mrs. Pedrie could not
give the desired illustration, for she re
tired behind the phs-pr of a book with
an expression of displeasure on her
pretty countenance. Mr. Pedrie napped
in his Turkish rocker more or less
musically, and after awhile his wife
fell to watching him closely. All at
once a bright smile chased away the
displeasure from her face, and she

his Interest wsb aroused, ne went
around the table and examined It It
was msde of polished rosewood, with
corners and hinges of old brass. t
was tightly locked, and there was no
key. He lifted the box and found it
heavy.' t
Bb stood looking down at It wltb a
baffled expression on ills good natured
countenance. , He , wondered why
I'hoebe should have left the box there,
and at this Instant there was a rus
tling on the stairs, and Phoebe came
rushing in, garbed in dressing gown
and slippers and with her heavy
braids swinging to and fro. She
seemed to take in the situation at
a glance the proximity of her hus
band to the rosewood box for wltb a
little frightened gasp she darted for
ward, took the box from his bands and
left the room without so much as a
word of explanation.
Phlneas Pedrie stood rooted 4o the
siot with consternation. Was Phoebe
Insane, or ' was she walking ln her
sleep? What was there about the rose
wood box tuat be, her husband, might
not see? i What? , i,
Mr. Tedrie stalked slowly ; up the
stairs to find Fhoebe sleeping sweetly
and the rosewood box nowhere ln
sight
"What has she done with itr he
muttered anxiously as he stepped soft
ly to and fro so as not to waken her.
Fifteen minutes later Mr. Pedrie was
still searching for the rosewood box.
He bad explored all the closets in the
bouse and the spare room and was
creaking downstairs In the belief that
his wife had concealed the box in the
hall before ahe ascended to her room
t ben ber voice smote on his ear.
ThlneM. where are youY she called
ileeplly. -
"I'm coming, dear." he amnred her,
making his voice as small as possible,
as if it might come from tb library,
where she had left him.
"It must be midnight. Thin. Are yon
never coming? This light keeps me

" "IH put it out Phoebe." and Mr.
Pedrie treaked np the stairs again and
snapped off the bulb. "I've lost my
match case, and I'm looking for it I'll
Just take a ran downstairs once more,"
be explained as he left the room.
Carefully, painstakingly. Mr. Pedrie
searched the lower floor of the house
for the rosewood box which his wife
had so artfully concealed from' him.
What did it contain? ' Did his wife
possess a secret which he did not
share?
Once more Mr. Pedrie mounted the

dignation. Before be slept that morn
Ing he would wrest this secret from
his unhappy wife. He stalked into the
bedroom without any attempt at quiet
ness. ..
I "Oh, Thin." complained Phoebe, "do
I stop squeaking around and go to bed!
You've waked me up three or fou
times with your prowtlngs. and you
know I want to get up early so as to
go into town on your train."
"Going to town, are you?" asked
Phlneas suspiciously.
"Ol luuiw I him'. You fcuoiv, X wuui
to do some shopping."
Phlneas was undressing sulkily be
fore his own chiffonier, and he saw
ln the mirror the reflection of Phoebe's
face. She was either crying or laugh
ing, and he decided that she was cry
ing. J"ur going." ww.,.
"Why?" ..tffflP--"-

"That's- a woman's reason, you
know." .
"What's a woman's reason? Oh. I
see!,.. My dear, don't try to bo funny
after midnight. One doesn't feel much
ln the mood for that sort of thing.",
Mr. Pedrie wrenched his collar off and
flung It across the room.' He sent bis
vest after the collar and then realised
that the Icy feeling down bis spine '
was caused by the slipping of a collar
button down Ills neck. He swore soft
ly and lowered bis head in the vain

would slide out again. - ,
It did not, but his position was the
