Miss Pinkerton always made a point
! of being down early for breakfast
when she was a guest.
On this occasion, however, Mrs.
Henshaw was close upon her heels.
She had been described by a fellow
woman as "ridiculously pretty and
! absurdly in love with her husband.”
“Good morning, Miss Pinkerton.
Conu* and help me sort the letters, will
| you?”
Miss Pinkerton was only too de
lighted.
“They seem to be nearly all for your
| husband,” she said. "I don’t want to
be inquisitive, my dear, but do you
read all the letters your husband re
, ceives from his old sweethearts?”
Young wives are proverbially sensl
; tive, and in the face of this question
Mrs. Henshaw was almost upset. But
she showed a smiling front, and
opened one of her letters.
“This is from Kate—Mrs. Tracy.
She used to be my great chum. She
writes such nice letters. Just listen to
this: ‘My darling Grace, if you can tear
yourcelf away from the partner of
your joys and sorrows, who will, I
dare say, manage to exist without you
for •>. bit, I should like you to come
and lunch with me to-morrow
(Wednesday) at 1:30. If you come I
am prepared to overlook your com
parative neglec' of me since your mar
S riage If you don’t, beware! Yours
I ever, Kate.’ ”
Miss Pinkerton’s face softened.
“I suppose you never have a game
with Jack,” she suggested, almost tim
idly, “get him into a little temper,
for instance, just for the pleasure of
undeceiving him the next moment.
He would think you quite clever if,
for instance, you succeeded in fright
j ening him with that letter.”
"Frightening him, how? I really
don’t—”
“Why, don’t you see? Read the let
| ter aloud again!”
Mrs. Henshaw did so, but still
looked bewildered.
“Stupid! stupid! Just knock out
j the word ’Grace’ and you have a most
*‘STU PI D! STUPID!”
delightful love letter from an unknown
woman.”
Mrs. Henshaw began to see. The
idea was silly, but after all if it would
please this somewhat difficult creature,
what harm was there in it? And Jack
would only be a bit astonished for the
moment.
Meanwhile Jack Henshaw, blissfully
ignorant of what was in store for
him, proceeded quietly with his toilet.
Miss Pinkerton had got upon his
nerves, and he rather regretted that
his wife had thought it necessary to
send her the invitation she had so
persistently 'fished” for ever since
they had returned from their honey
moon.
Jack Henshaw was by no means
dull, and his foot had hardly crossed
the threshold of his breakfast-room
before he scented something decided
ly unusual in the manner of his wife
and her guest.
‘‘What in the name of all that’s
wonderful is the matter this morn
ing?” he said.
At that his wife, who had never
frowned upon him since tneir mar
riage, gave him a look which he found
difficult to analyze, and which left
him even more bewildered than before.
Then she rose hurriedly from the
table and went to the window, only
presenting to her husband's aston
ished gaze the spectacle of a pair of
shoulders heaving convulsively.
“It s about a letter,” she sobbed.
’’Read it,” exclaimed Miss Pinker
i ton.
A piece of paper fluttered to the
floor, and in a choking voice came the
words:
" 1—I can’t.”
“Then 1 must.” Miss Pinkerton
picked up the paper and stood con
! fronting Jack with the air of a tragedy
queen. She noted witn some disap
pointment that her victim was to all
intents and purposes quite calm. She
had pictured his face turning to a
greenish hue, but on the contrary it
was quite bright and animated.
“Your wife opened one of your let
ters by accident,” she began, unblush
ingly, "and these are the wicked
words which shattered her idol and
dispelled all the dreams of her youth.”
Miss Pinkerton then read the let
ter, with a dramatic earnestness very
much in contrast with the feminine
levity of the writer.
“My darling Jack (pause). It you
can tear yourself away from the part
ner of your joys and sorrows, who will,
! I date say, manage to exist without you
for a bit, I should like you to come
and lunch with me to-morrow
(Wednesday) at 1:30. if you come 1
am prepared to overlook your com
i parative neglect of me since your mar
j riage. If you don't, beware! Yours
; ever— I suppose 1 need not read the
name in your wife’s presence, Mr.
! Henshaw!” concluded Miss Pinkerton,
| and then she gave something like a
gasp.
For the effect of the letter on .!
: had been marvelous. Ills cigarette v, .
: discarded. His callous smile ha!
changed to a sickening look of sham.#.
When he stood up he actually shook,
i and his lips apparently framed words,
though for some time no sound came
from them. At last he spoke, but his
voice was hollow' and scarcely recog
nizable.
“No, it Is not necessary to read the
name,” he said, with a shiver.
He walked slowly over to the win
dow with drooping head.
Grace had turned to him with a look
of wonder and alarm which deepened
as he spoke.
“Upon my honor, Grace,” he said,
“I cannot understand this. 1 assure
you 1 have given this—this girl no
encouragement that could induce her
to write a letter like this after my
marriage.” His wife had dropped the
flimsy mask that she had worn none
too well, and confronted him with a
pale face. She could find, however,
nothing to say, except to repeat his
| last words.
"After your marriage; what do you
mean?”
Jack made an idiotic attempt at jocu
larity, jingled some money in his
pocket, and feebly laughed.
"Well, of course you know that a
man isn’t answerable to his wife for
I his pre-nuptial flirtations.”
Mrs. Henshaw’s self-control was
i breaking down under the weight of
! her discovery.
With a sudden access of pardonable
fury, and forgetful of the part she had
been playing:
"Who is she? What's her name?”
Jack turned from the window with
a look of astonishment, and muttered
i disjointedly*:
“Her name! Why surely! The let
! ter! Miss Pinkerton read it! By
George, though, she didn’t read the
| name!” Then, with the eyes of both
! women upon him. a look of horrid en
| lightenment suddenly came into his
| face.
"Great Jupiter, her name. Do yon
hear? Tell me her name at once!
Which one was it?”
There was complete silence for the
space ol' ten seconds. Jack Henshaw
counted them by the clock. Then Mrs.
Henshaw rushed out of the room in
tears. Jack turned to Miss Pinker
ton, who had remained silent
throughout, and now looked really
] frightened.
"What will she do?” he asked, ex
; citedly.
“She would probably go to her rnoth
j er,” she said, in some alarm, “un
! less—"
But Jack did not wait for the alter
native.
“That’s what i feared! it's the more
exasperating because it will bring
; your visit to such a sudden conclu
| siou. Of course you will understand.
: If my sisters were here it would be
diffe ent. I suppose Grace will go at
j once I’D fetch a cab!” And before
she could stop him he was at the
front door blowing excited double
blasts on a can whistle.
Then he summoned a maid.
"Miss Pinkerton finds she has to
leave us suddenly. Will you please
help her to pack?”
Before the astonished spinster
could find breath to reply she was
bundled out of the room with more
haste than dignity.
Jack rushed up to his wife's room,
three steps at a time. A very tear
ful “Come in” answered his knock,
and in a very few moments Jack Hen
shaw had dismissed the idea that he
was the injured person and was fully
convinced that he v*is the hardest
hearted scoundrel living. His con
duct was quite unjustifiable, but he
could at least palliate it.
“You see, I knew you were hav
ing me,” he explained, rather lamely;
“I also knew, or rather, guessed, that
the letter was from Kate Tracey.
I was beastly severe, I know, but 1
couldn't think wiiat you were driv
ing at. You know my old penchant
for amateur acting; 1 saw the possi
bility of the situation, and couldn’t re
sist it. And dear Miss Pinkerton—”
“An! Where is she? 1 had quite
forgotten her! It was her rftad idea.
A great scheme for making you ridicu
lous. Ridiculous, indeed!”
“That reminds me,” said her hus
band, going to llie door, “dear Miss
Pinkerton thought she would leave
us. In fact, her cab’s at the door now.
No! don’t trouble. I'll see her out
and tell her you are too upset. I
want to have a last word with her, as
I don’t expect we shall see her nere
again. The atmosphere Is too dra
matic for her dairy-fed constitution.”
Miss Pinkerton, for the first time in
her life looking rather “sheepish,” was
in the hall, and the cab was at the
door.
Jack handed her in politely, and
took the keenest interest in the ar
rangement of her luggage.
"I am so sorry you have to leave
so soon,” he said, “but I quite sym
pathize with your feelings. By-the
bve, there was an empty envelope in
Kate Tracey’s handwriting on my
plate this morning. Do you happen
to know—’’
But the cab had started.
