Edith Barrington struck at her breast.
Thank God. whatever 1 am. you are

me-, to the real me.” The moment for

moment desired by all women wronged

menaced her. she could not have foregone
this opportunity to tell out the bitterness
of her heart.

His fear-sharpened ears had caught the
sound of voices in the corridor outside.
Heavens! What is that? Some one is

said "Edmond, you must go-go at

Freed from the physical contact of the

Jove! If there’s any telling. I'll not be
balked of the finest dramatic situation It's
ever been my lot to come within bow
shot of."
He laid the key in her hand, out
stretched to him.
The glance the woman cast at him was
full of hatred, and Levasseur was con
scious of it. At that moment only fear,
tlie greatest force her nature knew, held
her back from denouncing him.
"If it were not for one thing," she
said, beneath her breath, "if it were not
for my child I would be glad to let you
tell the truth. Even now—l wonder if
it Is too late? My husband loves me
Lqve is strong and forgives much. He
might forgive my poor silence—my piti
ful deception.”
"Possible, but Improbable," he sneered
"Your Anthony is not. of so uncommon a
type. Then wduld he be wrong if he
turned you out of doors? Think of your
lies and deceit—the maiden soul with
which he fell in love! Oh, come, in com
mon fairness, isn’t It a little more than a
mere deception?"
x Goaded On.
There was something so absolutely
fiendish In the man’s manner that 1t
goaded Edith Barrington to madness.
She uttered an angry cry and made a
quick step toward him.
The man caught her outstretched hand
in his.
"Don’t be such a confounded fool." he
said, in a hissing whisper. "Trust a
woman for giving herself away! There’s
some one at the door!"
Mrs. Barrington's madness fell from
her like a cloak. She turned a strained
face toward the door, her hands still
resting unconsciously in Levasseur's
grasp
Some one was trying the handle of the
door, impatiently.
"Say ’Yes.’ ” whispered I-evasseur
The handle rattled again. "Edith, are
you In there? What on earth's the mat
ter with the door? It’s stuck."
If was Anthony Barrington s voice, with
a curiously eager note—Anthony Bar
rington’s voice, eager and irritated at
the unexpected opposition.
Levasseur almost pushed the woman
toward the door.
“Open It." he said, "and for heaven's
sake, keep your head! I'll hide In the
bed room." (
Husband and Wife.
At the door Mrs. Barrington glancjd

from the communicating door, waved an
imperative command for haste, and be

Anthony Barrington himself spoke with
impatient surprise.
With a little incoherent prayer In her
heart. Edith opened the door and con
fronted her husband. Terror-stricken as
she was. she could yet find room for an
angry thought for Betty. That the girl
had managed things so badly as to let
Anthony come up to hammer at her locked
door!
"My dear, dear Tojty. what on earth
are you making such a fuss about ?" she
demanded.
"And why on earth did you lock your

IN A FORMER article some pictures
were exhibited of the wonderful
creatures of the deep sea—animals
whose progenitors apparently sought
the gloom of the ocean’s bottom in
preference to remaining in the brighter
world of shallow' water above.
We saw how, many of these animals,
in order to find their way about in the
sunless depths that surround then.,
have developed phosphorescent organs
which enable them to provide a Ight
of their own. While others, as if aban
doning the use of eyes altogether,
have gradually lost the organs of vis
ion possessed by their relatives above.
We also saw' that these deep-sea ani
mals. living where there is no sunlight
to bring out the effects of color, are
generally black and destitute of the
brilliant markings possessed by crea
tures which revel in the sunlight.
Today we show pictures of animals
which inhabit parts of the sea bed
w'hlch do not lie so deep that some
sunshine can not penetrate there, and
which, in contrast with the inhabitants
of the great abysses, are so brilliantly
adorned with colors that naturalists in
describing them have to compare them
w'ith the most glorious gems, such as
rubles, emeralds and sapphires. They
exceed the most beautiful flowers in
splendor, because their bodies are fre
quently composed of more or less
translucent (light-penetrable) tissue",
which often seem to be self-luminous.
This gives a vivacity to their colors
which only polished and highly refrac
tive jew'els possess.
Among these are the jelly fishes, the
corals, and the sea-anemones—'’anem
one’’ meaning a wind flower. But no
flower has so much liveliness of color
. < these animals exhibit, z Yet when
tnese same animals arc taken out of
lie water they lose, nearly all their
irilliance. *
Even animals that by their forms are
repulsive, w hen taken out of their ele
ment. such as sea-spiders, spider-crabs
hermit-crabs, star-fishes, and sea

But peace and brotherhood do not

sea-anemones are inexpressibly beau-

tures are found some w'hlch are not
■ only without beauty of color, but so
shapeless that tjiey look rather like
i bits of rock or stone than living ani

beauty as they possess from all outer
view. The outside of the oyster is
rugged and repulsive, but within the

Some species of oysters secrete, for

seems strange that objects whose
beauty depend« entirely upon the play
of light should never show that beauty
except when they are accidentally
brought out of their natural surround
ings.
Much of the splendor of the life of
the sea. as it is usually beheld from
above, is due to corals. A view through
a “water telescope" of the coral reefs
of Bermuda or other tropical islands
fills the beholder with as much aston
ishment as delight. But the casual ob
server of these scenes generally sees
but little of the real wonders of th»
sea bed. It is the naturalist who sees
the real “gulfs enchanted." and occa

company came we all had to make the

Scalding Children.
BtM — "Oh, mama! Harold put his hand into the boiling

Anty Drudge— "Just as I told yo». Boiling clothes is
dangerous as well aa wasteful. If you would use
Pda-Naptha in cod or hikewarm water, you’d save
time, money and hard work and there wouldn’t be
any danger of the oh&dreu getting scalded. ”
Hot weather is bad enough without a
hot fire and steaming suds in washing
clothes.
There is a better way.
Fels-Naptha soap will cleanse your
clothes in cool or lukewarm water, without
boiling or hard rubbing, in summer or
winter.
It will do the work in less than half
the time and make your clothes sweeter,
cleaner and whiter.
And the clothes will wear longer.
Think of it!
Why should any woman risk her health
and shorten her life by wearing herself out
with hard work, and subject herself to dis
comfort in boiling clothes and rubbing
them through hot suds?
