HER LAST EXPERIMENT.
(Continued from Page 13.)
a hideous oath. Her voice sounded
distant and unnatural, and she felt as
though she were suffocating. But she
hurried through her sentences with a
peculiar feeling of relief. The battle
was open, and she could almost have
laughed aloud at the first glimpse she
caught of those two horrified faces.
Mr. Whitehead had flushed up to the
very roots of his hair with unwonted
embarrassment, but Harold sat pale
as aywhite marble statue, and seemed
hardly' able to rally from the shock.
With quick woman’s wit, seeing that
she was mistress of the situation, Sel
ma went on talking pleasantly about
matters of general interest, interlard
ing her conversation here and there
with a few briskiy spoken “damns”
and other of Harold’s familiar oaths.
Mr. Edwards was recovering his
composure, however, and across the
dainty table his angry eyes challenged
the loftily defiant ones of his beautiful
wife.
The Whiteheads and Thornboroughs
had always been intimate, and Char
ley Whitehead had known Selma ever
since she was a wee mite of a girl. It
did not take him long to surmise that
there was method in Selma’s madness.
Adroitly she led the discussion, mar
shalling her forces like an experienced
general, and (but for the startling im
precations) shining in conversation as
she had never shone before. Once
when the talk touched on the pecul
iarities of some common friend, she
said: “Oh, peculiarities are only little
indulgencies full grown, and people
do not know how easily a habit be
comes permanent, until they have
tried it themselves.”
As soon as courtesy permitted Mr. .
Whitehead pleaded another engage
ment and departed. As he went out
the door he was handed a note in Mrs.
Edward’s writing. It contained but a
few lines.
“Dear Mr. Whitehead: You are the
victim of circumstances tonight, be
cause I felt that as an old friend of
the family I can trust you to under
stand. I am treating a strange dis
ease with heroic remedies. Please for
give me for what you must feel, and
keep our family skeleton in its closet.
Selma Edwards.”
Harold sat with face averted. Mrs.
Edwards rang the bell and ordered
the carriage, then walked unsteadily
from the room, looking back just once

with a vague longing for some sign
of forgiveness. She realized, however,
that —with a man like Harold —to
weaken now meant defeat. So with
trembling hands she fastened her
wraps, lingering over the task as long
as she dared. Then, telling her maid
that her mother was not well, and that
she might not return that night, she
started down the stairway.
Harold had been pacing the room
and trying to collect his thoughts. He
was angry, and he was ashamed. A
deep sense of the wrong he had done
his wife mingled with the resentment
he felt towards her for humiliating
him. He hesitated between two
courses.
That order for the carriage startled
him. Where was she going? What
would she do? He heard the faint
swish of her gown as she came down
the staircase. He lingered—pride
struggled with pride—but the fear that
she might carry her trouble home to
her mother brought him to the foot
of tlm stairs.
“I will go with you,” he said quietly,
Selma felt keenly the seriousness of
the situation. She dared not raise her
eyes, nor did she demur when he gave
the order: “John, drive to Dooley’s
Theater.”
For a moment after they were seat
ed in the carriage, neither one spoke.
Then Harold said:
“You must have lost all love and
respect for me, when you could so hu
miliate me before a comparative stran
ger.”
For answer she burst into tears, and
the long strain of excitement under
which she had placed herself, found
relief in shuddering sobs. She began
to realize on how frail a thread her
victory or defeat had hung, and with
the realization same a hysterical ter
ror lest Harold should be alienated
from her by her wild act. She cower
ed in the corner of the seat and let
her misery take full possession of
her.
“Don’t, Selma; don’t,” he said at
last, drawing her toward him. “Come
here and tell me why you did this aw
ful thing.”
“Oh, Harold; oh, Harold!” she sob
bed. “It was for you—l—Oh—Har
old,” and she hid her face on his
shoulder and told him in broken sen
tences how she had hoped to cure him
of his one fault.
“But, little girl—Mr. Whitehead! ’
T know, I know,” she moaned, “but
he will never tell —and —and —I had to
do so-something! You would not listen
when I b-begged you to stop. You
1-laughed at me, and told me to t-try
it myself.”
“And so you took my advice?” said
Harold gravely.
He opened the carriage door and
gave the order to drive home. John
swore under his breath at the whims
of the “ristocrats,” but this did not
disturb the occupants of the carriage.
“I didn’t think it really hurt you so,
dear,” Harold said. “I don’t under
stand, or you never would have had
to do such a —”
“I know it was dreadful, Harold,
but—but—l couldn’t see any other
way.”
“Those ugly words tripped very eas
ily from your tongue, little girl,” he
remarked soberly. “You don’t think
I’ll have to cure you in return, do
you?”
They both laughed.
