CHAPTER XCVI.
, I DO not think it possible to make
| one understand my feelings when I
: thought of what Everett had told
j me of Irma Barton—how I was torn
between two emotions: gratitude
I that Everett had told me of his as- |
| sociation with her, pity for her ruin- !
ed life. Then, all suddenly, a great ■
1 overwhelming jealousy of Irma Bar
■ ton took possession of me—a far ‘
more disturbing Jealousy than any
1 had before experienced.
Why had Everett told me of his
knowledge, of the rumors . which
had so hurt me for three years? If
! he had known, why had he not told
me before? Was Ito hear someth
ing yet more maddening Had he
taken this way to forestall the gossip?
I hated myself for the thought, yet
it persisted. Was I to blame?
Should I have gone to him when I
first heard his name linked with that
of Irma Barton and demanded what
it meant?
s “Oh, if only I were older!’’ I said
s aloud, the same old plaint which I
n had constantly voiced since my mar
riage.'
c Os one thing I was certain. In
e my hurt anger I resolved never to
i have anything more to do with the
woman with whom my husband’s
j name was linked—whether innocent
, or not. I felt a curious sort of
fatalism in connection with her, as if
she would bring me trouble and sor- j
row. Yet in spite of myself, I not |
only admired, but liked her. I felt j
as if I were being warned of dan
ger ahead without any means to
combat that danger.
Long afterward when I thought of
this species of brain storm I went
thru at that time, I thought of the I
old well-worn epigram—thought of it I
because of Everett’s patience and for
bearance:
“Heaven help you, madam, if your
husband does not love you because
of your foibles instead of in spite
of them.”
Everett at this time certainly had
no other reason to love me.
Just one week after my accident I
was once more up and dressed. Rose
had accepted my invitation, and had j
promised to be with me on my birth-!
day. She had hintingly said some- |
thing about being wanted, but as I '
recalled her hurried retreat on her !
previous visit, 1 could scarcely blame
her, so replied in away to put her
at ease:
“Everett suggested I write and in
vite you, so don’t worry over your
welcome. Barrett Edmonds is also
back in town, and has called. I
know he is looking forward to seeing
you again. I told him you were com- j
ing.”
Really I couldn’t blame Rose. It j
had been awfully embarrassing for
her as well as for me when Everett
had been so stern and cross. But j
j he rarely assumed that manner now j
| adays, and I made myself believe he
i would not be so severe now even if
the same thing happened.
“He cares a little more for me
now," I would say aloud, getting
comfort from the sounds of f
l words.
It was a ri?al gala day for me when
I ate my dinner downstairs with Ev
erett for the first time after my ac
cident. Had I known of the long in- |
quistorial conversation ahead of me, 1
I might not have been quite so hap-
PV- . .
But Everett seemed to enter into
my spirit of joy, and we laughed and
! talked as we seldom did. I thought,
and once came very near saying it
| would have been terribly chagrined ,
I if I had that we were just like j
a boy and girl of the same age. It
! always seemed to hurt Everett when
| I spoke of his age, as it did me when
jhe referred to mine. It was really
! rather ludicruous —only then I didn’t
see it—l wanted to be older, he was
I anxious to appear young, I Ifor his
; sake, he for mine.
After dinner Barrett Edmonds
i called. Then Alice Sloane and her j
husband came in. We had a really |
: jolly evening, and Everett was so nice
i that I couldn’t help telling him so as
; ter they were gone. Then, too, no
one had referred to the ‘first Mrs.
Graham’ which was quite unusual.
! Most of our callers failed to leave
until they had done so.
' AT have been so happy tonight.’*
“We are all glad you are able to
be downstairs again,’’ Everett an
| swered, and I noticed that Mrs. Gray
and James fairly beamed,
j “It is nice that they liked me”, I
returned, and went happily to bed
j never dreaming that all my good feel
| ing was to be changed and my hap-
I piness in Everett’s new attitude de
stroyed. (To be continued.)
