She gazed at me without flinching. she said satirically, And I suppose, you wonder why I why you are repellent to me. Havent you learned that, though I may have been made into a moral coward.

You are my wife and you will stay here with me, 1 reiterated, my brain on fire. 1 am my own, and I shall go where I please, and do what I please, was her contemptuous retort. Why wont you be reasonable? Why wont you see how utterly unsuited we are? I dont ask you to be a gentleman but just a man, and be ashamed even to wish to detain a woman agalnsi bar she answered. As before. Think it over, Anita, I urged she seemed to me so llge a sweet, spoiled child again. I longed to go straight at her about that other man. I stood for a moment with Tom Langdons name on my lips, but I could not trust myself. I wnt away to my own rooms. I thrust thoughts of her from my mind. I spent the night gnawing dwra the ropes with which Mowbray Lang-doand Roebuck had bound me, hand and foot. I now say they were ropes of steel and it had long been broad day before J found that weak strand which is in every rope of human make. . Yes, I Ignored this. n XXV. THE WEAK STRAND. No sane creature, not even a sane bulldog, will fight simply from loveif fighting. When a man is attacked, he may be sure he has excited either fear or cupidity, or both. As far as I could see, it was absurd that cupidity was inciting Langdon and Bos buck against me. I hadnt enough to I have asked Alva to stop with me here for a few days, she said formally. Alva! said I, much surprised. She had not asked one of her own friends; she had asked a girl she had met less than two days before, and that girl my partners daughter. She was here yesterday morning, Anita explained. And I now wondered how much Alva there was In Anitas firm stand against her parents. Why dont you take her down to our place on Long Island?" said I, most carefully concealing my delight for Alva near her meant a friend of mine and an advocate and example of real womanhood near her. "Everythings ready for you there and Im going to be busy the next few days busy day and night. She reflected. Very well, she assented presently. And she gave me a puzzled glance she thought I did not se as if she were wondering whether th enemy was not hiding new and deeper guile under an apparently harmless suggestion. Then I'll not see you again for several days, said I, most businesslike. Ifyou want anything, there will be Munson .out at the stables where he cant anitoy you. Or you can get me on the long distance.' Good-by- . Good luck. And I nodded carelessly and friend-lilto her, and went away, enjoying the pleasure of having startled her into visible astonishment. Theres a better game than Icy hostility, you very young, young lady, said I to myself, and that game is friendly indifference. Alva would be with her. So she was secure for the present and my mind was free for "finance. At that time the two most powerful men in finance were Galloway and Roebuck. In Spain I once saw a fight between a bull and a tiger or. y will. I drew up a chair so close to her that to retreat, she was forced to sit In the broad window-sea- t Then I seated myself.

But when you married me, you didnt marry a dawdling dude chattering advanced ideas with his head full of libertinism. You married a man. And that man Is your husband.
