Copyright, 1310, by American 1'resa ABsoclatlon. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo "But, iny tlonr, you nrt nil wronp:" exclaimed the bishop's wife, looking reproachfully over the coffee urn, which had hidden her piquant face from her husband's adoring glance. "I wasn't careless. It was the washer woman. If you must Maine somebody, James, blame her. Of course I didn't menu to leave a pearl pin and espe cially one you had given me In my laundry bag." That afternoon as he was walking briskly down Main street to make a parish visit in the distance he saw Allne's blue hat and shining hair. Ills heart had a habit of beating faster at tho sight of her slender, dainty figure, and that afternoon she looked even more attractive than usual to him among a crowd of commonplace wou en. Ho hurried to catch up Witt) ber, but she, too, was walking fast and had turned Into Tierce's deparl niciit store before he was near enough to join her. He went In, too. and secured a van tage point some feet away, Where he waited until he should have a chance to slip Into u space next to her. As he waited he noticed her gold bag laid on the counter beside her muff, out of ber direct line of vision. Sllll the old babitl An idea BUM Into the bishop's mind. Object lessons often accomplish what all the lectUfee lu the world fail to do. Quietly and quickly he laid an arm on the counter, swept It along the glass unnoticed by the mob of women surging toward the bur-r.;1i Mecca ahead. He was not teen. Ills hand touched the bag, closed over It, drew It to blm, dropped It safely Into his pocket. Was he pickpocket or bishop? He certainly felt like (he former Never had he felt so abject, so crimi nally miserable, as when he pushed his way out of that shop, for to cam QUI his object lesson DeceMttflted giving uji that anticipated companionship on his walk. So he went on out and down town alone, wondering why ttie police did not take him by the arm, why DO one pointed the linger of scorn, while that wretched gold thing was glitter ing so brightly In ins pocket. His parochial lsit was not pleasant; his walk was not pleasant; nothing was pleasant. He was obliged to eat: a solitary lunch, as Aline had rounded out her hopping expedition by lunch ing at her mother'. Bven the tele phone bell did not ring, as lie half ex pected it might. Nothing happened, and he and that bag seemed to be the only OCCIipanta of that quiet house. Aline reached home just in time to dress for dinner. Then lie had a visitor, who detained him until the last mo ment, so he hail no chance for a sight of Aline until he found her at the table. He had pictured her distrait, wor ried, had planned It all What she should say and he should answer and What the result would be but tht! tiest laid plans of mice and men gang aft agle.v, and he was disappointed. Aline was simply radiant, hesitating, having put on the blue dress he was so fond of and looking Just as she had looked In those days when she bad llrst lured him from sermons and from services by tht magic of her charm. She had seen old friends by chance, had lunched with a group of favorite aunts and cousins who had made much of her and had found just (be desired bit of lace at (hat sale. The day had been a success from start to finish. "You didn't lose your purse, did you?" The bishop felt Impelled final ly to Jump Into the ditch of his own digging. Aline looked her astonish meat. "Lose my purse!" she said. "Why, no, of course, 1 didn't! What a fun ny question, .lames! .Inst because 1 lost, ihai pin or, rather, it lost itself you needn't think 1 am going to lose everything else 1 own." "Are yotl sure you have your purse''' The bishop was obviously perplexed at her answer. "Jlaniie," she said, "I am going to Bend for an alienist. You certainly have softening of the brain. My purse Is up In my bureau drawer at this very moment." The bishop was growing excited. "Go and look for It." he interrupted. "i know it is not there." Aline w as staring at him with mark ed wonder lu her blue eyes, ",11m mle, listen!" she said, euiphasl.lng ber words by tapping the table with the end of u spoon. "My purse Is In my drawer, where 1 put It when 1 Ctimo homo unless you have stolen it." "Perhaps I haw." The bishop's face was a study In crimson, and he spoke lu a loud, dictatorial way. "Go and got it." Allne's eyes filled with tears. She had never heard her husband apeak In that way before. She was hurt and a little frightened, though stie would not show It. "Certainly " Ibe said in a very digni fied tone, sweeping out of the room, leaving the bishop as bewildered as he was excited, lie was beginning to feel badly that she was about to be so shocked, but surely theft was never a more glaring example of her careless Beat than this. To think that she had brought bet bag home with her when all the time flying footsteps. Hashing eyes, a gold bag flung Into his lap! "There, Jim mle crazy, crazy boy!" exclaimed a triumphant voice. "Now will you be good V" The very bag-the very-vobwohs tilled the bishop's brain for a moment. "1 I don't see," lie stammered. "Wait a minute, will you?" Thou he In his turn fled upstairs and went to his bu reau drawer. The very bag! It took kin some time to uet his bearings. t summon up courage to go down to that lighted room and to the reproach ful glances of those blue eyes. But the bishop wQ8 a good sport, although tho brilliancy of his sermons was sometimes open to criticism. Down to the dining room he bravely walked and laid the bag licside its duplicate. Aline looked and looked and looked again. Then her hamrht loess was that of a tragedy queen: "James, explain! Did you think you had my bag? And where did vou get it?" The bishop was silent. lie was ab seiitmindedly comparing the dupli cates. Allne's had her monogram on the framework; the other had only initials, "M. M. H." He repeated it over and over to himself, as If it were a favorite refrain. Then he knew that his day of judgment had come. "I stole It!" "Where, James?" "I saw you on Main street this morn ing"hl8 tone was of the yet un shrlven monk "I followed you Into Pierce's to ask you to walk down to the Grants with me, I saw your bag lying on the counter beside your muff, and I took It." "What for?" "Why, just to to" the bishop was growing extremely nervous under the steady gaze of those questioning blue eyes -"why, my dear, to hang It all, Aline! Haven't yon any Imagination? I 'a n't you imagine why?" "Certainly not-and I don't propose to try! The Idea of a bishop stealing his wife's purse, even trying to give her a moment's fright for any reason at all, Is something for which there can be no possible explanation and which I don't, even care to think about. But I do say this I think when a bishop stoops to those dreadful things it Is time for his wife to leave him!" High tragedy was written all over the little lady's face as she folded her arms, arched her eyebrows and looked sternly at her writhing bnaband. Then a sudden change of expression swept over her mobile face. "James," she said, "did you really and truly do It for the good of your poor black sheep? Did you steal your wife's purse to save ber soul?" Silence. "James!" Still silence while the bishop twirled a lock of hair furiously between his j thumb and forefinger. "James, answer me." The bishop turned appealing eyes to hers so hard, so cold and as their eyes met aemething happened. Laugh ter such as possesses the spirits of H flu nil overcame the dignified bishop and his wife. Words were impossible. Anger was a thing of Hie past. Expla nation! needed not to be made. Peals of laughter met and mingled across Hie table. Aline was the first io re cover sufficiently to speak. "Let's see whose it Is," she said. And the bishop handed it to her, while wiping his eyes with the other. "M. M. It. H in!" muttered Aline, Then, opening tbe bag, she held aloft a visiting card. "James," she shrieked, "It is mother's!" His mollier-ln law's! The bishop was speechless this time with horror. Aline wus au only child, her mother ever on the watch lest he should let the winds of life blow too strongly on her child. He never could face her after a situation like this. She was always severe on his clerical ideas. And now this! "What can I do?" His tone was that of a suppliant, and Aline thoroughly enjoyed his misery. "Do?" sin? said, "There are several things you can do, and you will have to do one of then quickly, or mother will be here asking my advice about what she can do to recover it. Father gave It to her on their last anniver sary, and she will be frantic at having lost It. By the way, I don't see Why you didn't see her lu the shop." "Neither do I. Now tell me what to do." Aline beld up her plump hand and counted off fingers as she ipoke: "Way No. 1, messenger boy sent to leave it at her door, with no explanation, note or card spirit too cowardly for a blab op to resort to; way No. L send at once to Pierce's, saying you found It falseh I unworthy of your ideals; way No. ;!, take It to her yourself and own up to your methods of Improving her child'! character." Silence The bishop looked down cast. Aline roguish. "Well, .lames," she said at last, "what have you decided to do? Mercy, t here's suppose the telephone! Oh, my dear, it'! mother!" It was Aline wl meal : "Dearei you stop Mullling the transmitter, Sercd In n flush of excite- . If I save your life now will Frying to save my soul any more I Tin' bishop's answer was unintelligi ble. Inn understood. Still Allue did not show her hand. "And, ilem-pst, If I do you must let me rii die text for your special eermoil next Sunday. Yes? Now listen while 1 show you what can he done with a complicated situation.''
