But tor Blair’s optimistic assurances that all would come right in the end he would have given way utterly to despondency. Week succeeded week, and month sueceeiled month, and stdl Egerton heard no news of Ids wife. Ills health and Ills work both suffered, and at Blair's suggestion ho gave up Ids flat, warehoused the furniture, and went to live with his bachelor friend, whose naturally buoyant spirits and cheering sympathy helped somewhat to enliven his dark days of despair. Blair was “in Somerset house,” a phrase which described Ids occupation as definitely as was ever found neces­ sary, and his salary was comfortably lieyond the point at which the govern­ ment performs a little sum in substrac­ tion— income minus income-tax—be­ fore handing its servants their checks. He possessed some talent, a lack of ambition, and a cultivated gift of tak­ ing tilings easy. But when he saw the pale face and the anxious expression of his friend lie forgot his natural dis­ inclination to take trouble, and lie spared no effort In ills endeavors to help Egerton discover the whereabouts of his wife. His theory was that as it was certain she was not staying with friends, she must lie earning her own living, and he believed she was doing this by journalism. “What is more likely, now, Egerton?” he asked. “Thrown on her own re­ sources, she would naturally turn to an occupation of which slie knew some­ thing. With her gifts and the knowl­ edge of the inner working of the news­ paper world which she must have picked up from you. she would have no great difficulty in finding employment.” 'This was only a theory, however, and difficult to put to any practical test. line afternoon as Egerton sat at his desk busy with the proofs of an article be had written for the Strand Gazette, the door was suddenly flung open and Blair rushed in, exclaiming, “What is your wife's maiden name?” “Carter. But——” replied Egerton, EI1GERTON WAS UTTERLY DEJECTED, springing to his feet In astonishment. “Carter! Ha! ha! Found at last!” cried Blair, triumphantly, as he danced about the room waving a copy of the Free Lance In his hand. "Read this.” He thrust the paper into his friend's hands and pointed to the prize short story. It was entitled, “The Living Past,” ami the name of the author was given as Miss Mary Carew riglit, with an address in Islington. Egerton gazed blankly at the paper and then at his friend. “Don’t you see, man?” cried Blair, excitedly. "Mary Cartwright—Monica Carter-same initials. But read the story.” Egerton took up the paper and raced through the story with feverish eager­ ness. It was his story—their story— there could be no doubt about it. It was from the woman's point of view, an utterly mistaken one, but one which nevertheless explained a great deal to him lu what lie liad been tempted to look upon as an act of mad and un­ reasoning Jealousy, lie saw and for the first time realized the struggle in her mind between love-and injured pride—tlie pride of a highly sensitive soul which will brook no compromise, w hatever suffering may ensue. Read­ ing between the lines, lie could feel something of the agonies she liad en­ dured, of tlie struggle with herself. It was a cry from the heart and it went to bls heart like a knife. At length he put down the paper with a deep sigli. "Poor little woman!" he murmured. “What hideous suffering to lay her soul bare for the world's pleasure.” Blair stood by the fire in silence for some time. Finally he turned to Eger­ ton, who was sitting at Ills desk with Ills head buried in Ids hands. “Come,” lie'said, laying his hand gently on the other's shoulder. “Put on your coat and follow me.” lie otieyed mechanically and without question. Outside Illalr called a cab and Egerton got in as though in a dream. As they sjs d along King's road be suddenly asked: “Where are we going. Blair?” “To Islington, of course.” After wlint seejned to the Impatient Egerton an interminable drive, the cab drew up at the corner of a shabby lit­ tle street.

It was one of those mlMN-Ilnneons little »hop. where confectionery, mineral waters, an«l newspapers are sohl.

You can tell us her ad- [ dress if you like. I'm sure.” Tim woman's eyes glistened, but she still shook her head. “When was she here last?” asked Egerton. “Let me see,” she replied. “Was it yesterday or the day before? Oh, yes, it was yesterday.” Blair turned to his friend. “Well, we can't do anything more to­ night. You might write a note and leave it.” Egerton wrote a hasty letter to Ills wife and promised the shopkeeper a half sovereign If she telegraphed to him immediately Miss Cartwright called for her letters. He passed a fearfully anxious week, but no telegram came. He went over again to Islington, but bis letter was still waiting in the shop, and lie re­ turned to Chelsea ia despair. He was utterly dejected, but Blair did his best to cheer liim and help him to keep up Ills courage. “There's no need to be so down in the mouth,” he argued. “At any rate, you know that your wife Is living, and you may bear from lier at any mo- meat.” They discussed the matter from all points of view, and Blair made numer­ ous suggestions. All at once a bril­ liant idea struck him, and Egerton seized on it at once. He suggested that Egerton should write a tale for the Free I.anee, telling the same story that his wife hail done, but from the man's point of view. They spent the rest of tlie evening in talking over the story and making notes. Egerton devoted the whole of the next day to it, and In the evening, after Blair had Jtiven Ills approval, lie posted it to the Free Lance. Egerton had hidden his own story under the veil of fiction, but he was sure that if his wife read it she would realize the truth. As he felt he wrote, and all lie asked was that she should read what lie had written. Tlie days of waiting which followed were maddening in tlie way they dragged their slow length along, and Egerton felt that he would give any­ thing to know the fate of his story. Publishing day arrived at last. He was overjoyed to find that be bad been successful, but it was not for the sake of seeing himself In print, for that is a joy which soon palls. Now he hoped that his wife would at last learn the truth. He was too excited to work and he J felt almost afraid to go home by him- I self. lie called on Blair and they , went home together. Blair made a hearty dinner, but Egerton was in too | nervous a state to eat a mouthful, and ! kept rushing to the window at every footstep. Tlie suspense began to tell on him, and lie grew almost hysterical. “Ah, there’s a telegraph boy," be cried, pulling the curtains aside. “By Jove, lie's coming here!” A heavy knock sounded at tlie front door. He rushed out and met the ser­ vant coming upstairs. “A telegram for you, Mr. Egerton.” He tore open the envelope with trem­ bling fingers. The message was brev­ ity itself, but it spoke volumes to the happy man. It said: “Can you forgive me: Monica.”—Lloyd's Weekly. HARD-WON BET.
