"Nnmo of a dog!" shrilled the othur.
glanced over her Mhotilder, sent forth
a scream and, whirling about, run vi
ciously for the stop, where hc wut
again blocked by tho Indomitable Keredec.
"Ah, you foyllsh woman, I know who
you arc!" she cried, "You want to
get yourself Into trouble! That man In
tho room up there ha been my hus
band i lime two year and more."
"No. mndame," said Louise llarinau,
"yon are mistaken; ho In my husband."
"Hut you divorced him." vociferated
the other wildly. "You divorced him
In America!"
"No; you are mistaken," the quiet
volco replied. "The suit wa with
drawn. Ilo Pi still tny husband."
I heard tho professor's groan of de
spair, but It was drowned In tho wild
shriek of Marlann, "What? You tell
tne that? Ah, the miserable! If what
you say Is true bo shall pay bitterly!
Ho shall wish that he had died by fire!
What? You think he can marry me,
break my log so that I cannot dance

away with a pretty woman like you

and unbearable shriek "and you, yon

You shall pay!"
