ON STATUTORY GIIOUND

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

the patronage of the people who &e --quented these plaoes. Now that ho had* a wife to support he felt still more the necessity of keeping his friends. He had thought Suzanne's beauty would aot as her passport into the circle he frequent ed, but m th© artificial light of city life Suzanne's beauty seemed to wane as a wild flower withers • quiokly m a hot room. Her splendid color looked ooarse at first beside the carefully groomed wo men they met. Then after a few months it faded into a dull pallor. She con- Bfcantly mortified Philip's pride m small matters. She would let her great won dering pansy colored eyes roam over the costume of a oaller, from her bonnet to her boots, as a child might do, and she would oall the attention of Philip's friends to her new garments or bits of jewelry, showing such happy pleasure m their possession that it seemed utter cruelty to reprove her. She would cry out with delight or surprise at any new Bight whioh attraoted her, no matter m what pr.blio plaoe she chanced to be. She was absolutely unoonsoious of her surroundings m the fullest sense of the word if Philip were with her. Whether m a publio restaurant, or a theater box, or on the street, she forgot that others were near who. would oritioise or ridi cule her, and she would point to things whioh interested her or piqued her ou riosity, and she would laugh or ory aloud at the play or exolaim, "Oh, Philip, look, look!" and seize his arm while every eye was turned upon them. When reproved, she would seem incred ulous or indifferent, saying: "I am never watching other people when I am with you. Why should they watoh me? Have they nothing else to think shout m all this big city full of things but poor little me?"

But after a time she began to lose her old buoyanoy of spirits. She felt less in terest m the new life which had pleased her so at the first, more indifferent to her pretty garments and jewels. She felt a constant sense of Philip's disap proval, and she was growing to under stand the glanoes and covert sarcasms whioh she received from people, those poisoned arrows of wit whioh are shot by the skilled society aroher into hu man hearts. All her sweet, happy satis faotion m herself and her new life, all her pleased delight over the new sights and sounds were deserting her. A pain ful self consciousness was taking its place with a sad conviction that she could never be like these other women whom she met. "And yet," she would say to herself, "if Philip liked these other women better than me, why did he not marry one of them? Surely he could have had them for the asking. " But one day the answer to this question oamra to her.

Between Philip's studio and the Buit of rooms wbioh the young oouple ocou pied as living apartments there -was a small curtained alcove. It contained a Turkish divan, a small table and a few books. This alcove was only lighted by gas and waß unused save on occasions when the artist gave a studio tea, when it served as a sort of cloakroom.

Sometimes Suzanne stole m here, however, and ourling herself upon the divan watched Philip at his work. He never liked to be disturbed m his studio, and she seldom intruded upon him. Since their marriage he had never asked her to pose for him. His pride resented the idea that any one oould say he had married his model.

Suzanne found the hours when he was at; work very long as the months rolled by, and to lie .on the divan and watch her husband before the easel was one of the stolen sweets of the day to her. She had grown to fear his dis pleasure m almost every aot she oom mitted, and so she hid this innocent pastime from him as if she were guilty of a crime.

If any one entered the studio from the front hall, she slipped out of her retreat and baok to the living rooms. It was only when he was alone that she oared to watoh him. But one day — it was the middle of May — a warm, languorous afternoon full of suggestions of sum mer, Suzanne fell asleep on the divan. She had. felt a strange fatigue of late, whioh oaused her to fall asleep at the most unexpected times and places.

When she awoke, she was m a sort of dazed condition. She thought she was back m the little fishing ooast house m Maine, and she heard her name uttered and sat up listening to see who had called her. She heard a strange voice saying: "But this girl Suzanne was no wife for you,- Philip. Every one says it is the most unacoountable thing that you ever married her. You have made an awful mistake, and it is killing Mil dred by inches. She will not live a year unless youoan undo this dreadful work, whioh has made us all so wretched. "

By this time Suzanne was fully awake, and she sat still, iike one turn ed to stone, listening. Philip's voice sounded very stem and dear as he re sponded:

"I do not know who is at fault m this dreadful work, Mrs. Montroae, save yourself. You oome here and tell me to my faoe that you destroyed my letters to Mildred, hoping to alienate us. You sucoeeded, and now you find that Mil dred is ill and wretohed, and you know that I am unhappy, and you ask me to undo the dreadful work, by whioh you mean, I suppose, unmarry myself. May I ask you, madam, how you expeot me to do this?"

The woman's weak, complaining voice made answer: "Oh, I'm sure I don't know how, only I know people do get divorces very easily nowadays. This per son you have married would probably be very willing to accept a few thou sand dollars and let you go free to marry Mildred. I have come to see plainly that Mildred will never get over her in fatuation for you. Ever sinoe she heard of your marriage she has gone down m health, and finally I .told her the truth about what I had done, feeling that she might be happier to know at least that you had only married out of spite, think ing she was false to you. But she seem ed to pine away all the faster after she knew that. I feel like a murderer, and so I just deoided to come to you and

" \ report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.S.W., of a pettier- and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning after partaking of tbeir evening meal. In searching for tbe cause, sus- picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic ar.ifl, the presence of which is caused by tbe use of spirits of sa t 8 m welding tbe parts of tin together. The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with on inside lining of vegetable parchment. This stylo of packet is quite impervious to the air. and tea so packed has been known to retain all its aroma and strength for a period of five years."
