Henry Coverton’a rankling secret—
fallen In lore with the same girl.
It was because of Kthel (Myu that Cov-

stood that he hadn't a chauee with her.
Who was a young lady of expensive habits.
Would he ever forget that beguiling mo
ment of but two months ofo,,wheu. after
an Intoxicating waits, ho had bared his
heart to Kthers proud eyes? The- Irouy
of It! She had let him toll her all about
It. She was his Idol, and there was nothing
he wouldn’t do to win her. Aud she
looked so sweetly Interested. But she gave
him bis quietus nt length, with her pretty
little hand on kls to calm him. She told
him she Ilkitl him very much, but could
not marry him.
He hadn't seen her since.

Nothing simpler. The window unlatched,

when they were at the door, which yielded
to <'overton's push. ... ,
"Oh, I say.' 1 whispered Randolph when
the special object In the middle of the
nave wss now revealed to them both.
Coverton went straight to the coffin with
out a word. Screw driver and screws were
on the pavement. Jt waa so Jlko l’ortngaT
In the wilda to leave such trifles lying
about.
"They don't always close them," sahl
Coverton. "We might live a look at him."

But in'that moment evi _ r
possession of Coverton. Putting his hsnd
on Itandolph'* shoulder, he said, sternly;
"D-don’t!" Itandolph almost sighed.
"Yes," whispered Coverton. exerting all
that demonnlcnl force of which he waa now
so gloatingly conscious, "you are to help

He made several passes before the other’,
eyes, nnd Itandolph stood rigid, with the
light of life, as It were, gone from his
face.
Pallid and ashen himself now as the
corpse before him, Coverton took up one
of the great leaden sconces and Its candle.
He went down the nave first, to bolt the
door. Prom the door he proceeded Into
the south aisle along the wall. Ho to the
east end. the north aisle tnd chapels, and
then back again to a stone trap with
lusty ring In It.
Having raised the stone, he saw the
steps which led to a grisly hole, where the
bone* of Anany ger— ~— ■hh'
women were piled.
And then he retraced his steps, leaving
the candle In tho vault.
Others of the candles he dispersed along
the pave and past altar, so, that there
was an avenue of Illumination for the
work next to be done. Bast of all, he re
moved the lid of the coffin nnd turned to
Randolph, who wns like a petrified helm
"Give me a hand with this, and foil
me!" he said.
All Randolph’s Individuality waa sub
merged In the flood of Coverton’s dastardly
will power. Coverton himself lifted tho
dead hian’s head: and. expressionless aa
before being bidden, Randolph took the
dead feet. And slowly they marched with
tbcfr burden past the arranged candle*, and
—with difficulty there—lnto the crypt It
self. When no part of poor Pedro waa
left visible he gave the word to Randolph
to return.
"Go up!" he said, and In grim procession
they returned to the empty coffin.
Summoning his strength for * supreme
effort, Coverton raised Randolph at the legs
nnd arms, and laid him In the coffin. Then
he replaced the lid and drove In Are or
six acrew*.
Back to the hotel went Coverton, with
fiendish triumph In him.
But nearing the half hour after midnight,
suddenly, as at flra.t, that eager nightingale
outaldo broke forth Into the sweetest song.
Coverton started back and turned about
•ud his eyes settled In an agony of re
morse upon a little porcelain thing hung
to tho wall; a crucifix above and a scoop
below. In which, as he knew, waa conse
crated water.
The words. "Oh. God! help me!" breath
ed from his lips, snd In another minute he
was outside tho hotel, hastening, heed
less now of any chaucc human eye, again
toward that church. ,
When, after a premonitory -shiver or two.
Randolph rubbed hla eyes, opened them and
Randolph rubbed his eyes, opened inem and
realized where he was, all he desired was
to return to the hotel and go to bed,
"Haven’t you had enough of thla yet.
Hurry?" he aaked. "It give* me the
C *"Vea,” said*Coverton. "I’re had quite
enough of It.”
The neit day they both made for Ma

that day aud days that followed he won
dered what had wrought the change In
him toward Kthel Glyn. He wondered nnd
rejoiced. And he knew that he could sup-

her discomfited adorer to follow at a re-

CHOOSING A WIFE
By DOROTHY DIX.
By
DOROTHY DIX.
T T MUST be apparent to every
thinking person that the amount
* or domestic happiness in the world
would be enormou»ly increased If men
and women would decide on what kind
of life partner they preferred before
marriage, Inatead of waiting until after
marriage to’make up their minds on
the subject.
As It la, we conduct matrimony on
the church grab-bag plan. We shut our
eyes and clutch the first thing we get
our hands on, and tho divorce courts
have to work overtime sorting out tha
mtsfltn.
The kind of wife a man ■ ought to
marry depends on the kind of man.
There la no other such fallacy aa the
attraction of opposites. ,
What we want In marriage iz iym-
pathy, not contradiction, and the tint
thing a man who contemplates matri
mony should do Is to classify himself.
Let him decide whether he wants to
be a clubman himself or the husband
of a clubwoman: whether he yearns
for peace or argument, and whether he
wants a kitchen stove or a parlor orna
ment. There are charms and virtues in
ulJ, but there is also a choice.
For a practical man, a business worn-
A man may choose a life partner be
cause she suits him. A wise woman
should not only consider whether the
man suits her, but whether she Is going
to suit the environment In which she
will be placed. She should not marry a
clubman If she Is going to shed tears
over his sarcastic remarks on her
housekeeping. -
She must not marry a clergyman urn
less she has spiritual grace enough to
wear last year's bonnets, because the
congregation disapproves of frivolity
In other people.
She should never marry a vain man
unless her flattery Is of such an Intox
icating brand It will make every other
woman’s seem like stale beer besldp
champagne frappe.
Hhe should not marry an adored only
son unless shs is prepared to battle
with selfishness; or a brother with
many sisters unless she has made up
her mind to wait on him hand and foot.
Of course, women doh’t often con
alder these points. They marry nt ran
dom, as If a husband was something
you picked up on a bargain counter
nnd could send back to the shop If
It didn't suit when you got it home
or you found out you didn't need It
after all.
The remedy for domestic unhappl-
an la a safe choice.- . Having earned ness la very simple. It merely consists
money, she knows Its value and will
run things on a cash basis. She will
have meals on schedule time, and will
not be hoodwinked by tradespeople.
She has worked with men and knows
their tricks and manners, and will not
be deceived by fairy stories about lodge
meetings.
She is not the wife for a conceited
man. because she Is used to forming
ter own opinions, nor Is she the wife
: or a stingy man. because she is accus
tomed to her own pocketbook und will
inevitably demand a fair division of the
family finances.
Not without reason have widows
been considered peculiarly desirable as
wives. A man's Judgment always backs
his fancy when he chooses one for a
wife.
A young girl Is a conundrum. A
widow Is the answer.
A girl of 18 may be anything—a bag
or a load of hay—at 40. The widow
las arrived. She Is what she Is. She
las also had experience of men and
doesn't ask the Impossible. In a word,
she has the advantage of the profes
sional over the amateur. Widows are
preferred risks In matrimonial bureau.
For the worn and blase clubman, who
marrying for a home, there Is noth
ing equal to the spinster who has aban
doned hope and then sees matrimony
dawn on her horizon like a port to a
shipwrecked mariner.
She Is the true husband spoiler. Shs
_ the woman who simply glories In
making herself a doormat for a man to
walk over.
A woman's choice of a life partner Is
more difficult than a man’s, because
she does not do the choosing.
Matrimbny for her Is a kind of con
fidence game, In which she Is Invited
to take a hand by some agreeable
stranger with whom she meets up on
the journey of life,, and the wonder Is
not that she loses so often, but that
she wins at all.
Women are poor gamblers, because
they always play their own hand with
out reference to anybody elae'a. That
the way they play matrimony. They
iy, “t love,” and forget It isn’t a sim
ple game where they can take their
partner’s best and gu It alone.
In finding out what you want before
you get something else. Love should
wear spectacles before marriage and
blinders afterward.
