Merklu. "And unions you want a divorce,
whloh I don't adviso when a uiau Is only

why, you tn lie as If you knew some
thing about Owen, Aunt Sarah," said
Doris.
"I know he's a man," said Mrs. llerkle.
"Hullo!" cried a voice at tho door,
which opened at this moment "Hero Is
Aunt Sarah, talking against man as usual.
What has poor Merkle done nowf 1
thought ho had sowed his wild oats."
Look out for your own crop, Owen
Moore," replied Mrs. JJorkle.
"I don t set up fur a saint and never
did," cried Owen. "Givo mo a kiss, Doris.
I m as hungry as a hunter, and I must
sat aud run. It's all night again, Doris.
Well, so much more In the savings bank,
and Indued we ve no reason to be sorry.
I miss you very much, Owen," said
Doris, as sho brought a hot dish from tho
oven and sot the chairs at tho Uiblo. "I'm
lonesome without you as a kitten with
out Its mother."
I koep thinking of you, too," said
Owen. "Oh, Indeed, I don't Uko it a hit,
but I say a dollar put by for a rainy day
may keep us from tho heartache. "
Ho ato his supper In n hurry, laughing
ana talking the while; then kissed his
wlfo, shook hands with her aunt and took
up his hut again. Out on tho stairs ho
paused a moment Aunt Surah's shrill
volon was lifted once more.
"Don't I sec how honest ho ls,"sho wag
repeating. "All very well, Doris, but look
in his coat pockets all tho same look in
his coat pockets."
"Old eat I Mio's at It again," said
Owen, who heard; but, like the good na
tured man that he was, ho only laughed
as ho run down stairs. "The devil will Hy
away with old Aunt Sarah ono of these
days, but sho can't mako my Dory believe
any 111 of me, Unit's one comfort"
Meanwhile, Mrs. Merklu had gone homo
to nag her unfortunate spouse, mid Doris
sat before her own tiro with her feet on tho
hearth aud thought overall she had heard.
Aunt Sarah was a very unpleasant per
son, who always made trouble wherever
she went, but sho hml tho reputation for
being veiy sensible, which such icoplo aro
niorunptto gain than cheerful, nuihiblo
folk, and what she mild she really believed,
for sho had no gotnl thoughts of a man or
woman. Hut Doris was very much in
love With Owen, and Jealousy Is always
closo at hand wheru love Is strong.
In vain Doris tried to convince herself
that Owen was too much In love with her
to think of any one else. Tho little need
of suspicion had been planted, ami It grew
Uko Jack's beanstalk.
It was lonely there In tho llttlo upper
uac at uignt, ami Hurls imd been used to
a largo family circle lici'oro sho left her
country homo to shuro Owen's fortunes In
Uio city.
After awhile sho found herself crying
sho hardly knew why feeling not ouly
lonely, but neglected and Injured.
"Owen ought not to have left me, even
for business," sho said. "Ho used to eonio
every night when ho was courting, though
It was an hour's journey by rail each
way."
And from this sho went ou to asking
herself If it were possible that Aunt Sarah
could be right Now i'ork was sueh a
wlckvd place. There wero such bold, au
dacious women to lie met with. Owen
was so handsome. Oh, could Aunt Sarah
have any grounds for her suspicions!
Owen, waking curly ouo morning,
caught his wlfo turning his pockota out,
reading the bits of piHr sho found there.
A nofai from his cousin John, who had de
sired to borrow $5; a typewritten circular,
recommending Stump's restaurant; a let
ter from his mother telliug him of tho do
ings at homo.
Nothing but what sho had seen before.
And Owen, whose conscience was as clear
as man's could be, was not lu tho least
alarmed.
Doris might read all tho letters ho ever
received, all hv ever had received, for tho
matter of that Hut ho did not like to
think that sho would watch and spy upon
him, that an old woman's prattle could
uiske her suspicious of him.
Ho had hoard tho advice that Mm. Mer
kl gave his wlfo as ho stood outsido the
door of his little dining room, mid ho was
very sorry that his Doris should take tt
and search his pocket.
Ho had a gxl mind to speak out frank
ly, to tell his wife what ho hnd heard and
what he had urn, and to assure her that
his story of night work was true; to tko
her with htm to the great piano factory
where ho was employed and convince her
bow bl hours were spout That would b

suddenly an Idea p-.pped Into his jolly
'""Til turn It all Into a joke," be said to

Aunt Sarah dropped In again after Owen
had left tho house.
"Out agiiluf" sho said, with a nod.
"Yes. and hard at work, lioor boy," re
plied Doris. "Aunt Surah, I'm sure that
he is as truo to mo as one angel could bo
tn another. "
"I should liko to look through his pock
cts. thoiikii." iflnghd Aunt Sarah.
"Look, then." said Doris, throwing open
thn niinlrolx) door. "There aro his
thlnos."
Aunt Sarah took bcr ot ber word, and In
a moment more her shrill, vixenish voice
crl.il out:
"Three nlnk note, my dcur, and all
limed 'Funny Ann!" "
An hour afterward Doris Kit at the cen
ter table In ber little parlor sobbing io
lentlv.
Tho light from tho sbadod lamp fell up
on tho three pink notes all wot with tears,
Owen's compositions as wo know, and so
absurdly rapturous and lulutlo that tney
would havo betrayed tho fact that they
wore lokes to any but a jealous woman,
Hut Doris, In her woo and wrath, had
very llttlo common sense left
Aunt Sarah, frightened by tho storm
her own deed had raised, had taken her
departure, and Doris had resolved to wait
for Owen's return, show him tho letters
and at once go homo to her mother.
For awhile It had seemed to her that
she would find nt home a refuge and con
solatlon for all her woes. Then sho began
towtneowitb uiortlllcatlon. To tell her
mother that Owen was false to her would
not be so bad, but that her sisters should
know It, her friends, Jack's wife, tho
whole connection!
'Oh, life would not bo worth living mi
dcr such circumstances!" Doris cried out,
and then an awful thought crept into her
mind and gained strength there, A joal
ous man or woman Is a maniac. Let that
be an excuse for Doris wheu sho cried out
at last:
"Death Is thonnlyrure! Death! Death!
And If God will not kill mo, I must kill
myself!"
At 3 o clock Owen opened tho door ot
bis Hat and went In. Things did not look
as usual. Tho kitchen flro had gone out,
and no llttlo snack hud been kept worm
for him. Tho bed In tho little bedroom
was still neatly made up, and no one had
slept In It that night. In tho parlor tho
lamp was yet burning, but Doris was not
there.
As ho looked about him ho raw door
and drawers open ami tilings scattered
about, and a nimieliM terror began to
possess til in.
"Doris!" ho called aloud, but there was
no answer. Ho walked to tho tablo.
Ihero lay three sheets c.f pink imper with
a weight upon them to keen them from
blowing away, and beside theni another
letter, addressed to himself. 1W Owen
could hardly command himself siilllcicntly

And this, then, was how his joko had
ended. This was what he had brouuht
uout iAiris had killiil herself. Then
ho would follow her example. Hut first
he must find her body und iiy It tho last
honors. Ho oaught up his hat and left
his desolato homo, tho tears irushlnir from
his eye ns ho remembered bow happy ho
had been there.
When he reached tho street, ho stood bo-
wUdered, asking himself which wav ho
should go, what ho should do. Then it
camo to him that ho must report the hor
rible facts at the station house and havo
alarm sent out Tho nollen Would
know what to do better than ho could,
and with heavy steps and reeling brain ho
sought tho big brick building before which
the great lamps hung, and entered in.
Luto as It was theto was a llttlo crowd
there, gathered about something that lay
In tho middle of tho floor.
A horrible thought struck Owen per
haps It might bo his wlfo' body on which
thoy gazed.
"What Is Itf" ho gasped, with white
llj that could scarcely form a sound.
"Young woman Jumped Into tho river,"
said a policeman.
"My God!" cried Owen, bursting
through tho crowd and falling on his knee
beforu the wet figure lying on tho tloor
with a policeman's coat under Its head.
"My God, It Is my wife!"
The next Instant ho gavo a shout of
Joy, for tbe great eyes unclosed themselves,
tho little, trembling hands wcro out
Itretehed toward him and a faint voice
said:
"Oh, Owen, take me away from this
