Harvey Bathbone, being very rt'h, ?ok life easy. After eeverul year* (n'ut at the University of Heidelberg he married the girl of his choice, at-.d the' next few year* were spent by ths couple wherever they could derive tho most pleasure, tine winter they took I. house In l'arta. Rathbone had always bad Implicit fonfidciice in bis wife till Jealousy set* tied Itsulf upou him through a very singular cause. Returning to bla bom* late one evening wheu his wife was in bed, be entered an adjoining chamber in which a light was turned low and saw a man In evening dress advancing to meet him. In ? twinkling ther* came a revelation of infidelity on the part of his wife. He was about to spring forward to graap the man by the throat when he discovered that ha was looking at his own image In a mir ror. He took off his clotbea and crawled Into bed. but not to sleep. Suppose bis wife, whom all the men admired, should tho* dishonor him! The Idea, having taken root, grew and exp&nded until It monopolised the prin cipal part of his brain. The time came when temethlng more I than a reflection confronted him. One evening when be desliwl to go to the opera his wife asked to be excused from accompanying him on the ground of feeling indisposed. &ince the piece was a favorite with him be concluded to go alone. He beard little of tbe mu ale, however, for an Idta got into his head that his wife's Indisposition was merely a subterfuge However, be saw the opera through, then, joining some friends, went to supper at a cafe. About 1 o'clock he went home, let him self in with his night key, aud was about to go up stairs wheu be saw a man standing on tbe stairs. He had been coming dowu when Rathbone en tered and stopped. Rathbone staggered udder the load of horror that had suddenly come upon him. "Stand where you arel" he said as soon as be could get his voice. "Give me time to think. My wife's name must not be brought into this affair. We must dnd some other pretext" "Go to your club." said the man. "and say that you caught the Count de Tourlnne cheating at cards. You chal lenged him and will fight him at day light In the morning." "The Count de Tourtnoai ' "By my Indiscretion my family, one Of the oldest In France, must suffer tbe only stigma ever put Upon It. But It Is better thus than that your wife's reputation should suffer." "It will not matter. I Will put you Where only the worms will luterwt yon." The count advanced, took a card from his pocket, threw It on a table and walked out of the front door. Rathbone went Into tbe drawing room and, failing on a divan, juried his face in tbe cushious. Half an hour later h* went to bis club, where be met Spencer Hunt, a Heidelberg chum, whom ha told that the Count de Toorlnne bad cheated him at cards and a challenge had passed. "Go," he concluded, "to the address on the card and arrange tbe details of the affair." "I am surprised beyond measure," said Hunt, "that Tourlnne should have done such a thing. I am not irenjonally acquainted with htm, but bis standing both socially and as a man of honor la tCe highest. Is not this a pretext to crver the real canse of your quar reir "Hunt, as yon value my friendship ask no questions. Arrange the affair to b? fought out till either I or the eount is killed or mortally Wounded. Go at once." Rathbone paced back and forth In the ball of the club, waiting. Men were coming and going, occasionally casting a glance at him, wondering what was the matter with him. Fortunately for Rathbone, he bad been so devoted a husband that he had not frequented the club and knew only a few of the members. For an hour he paced, then, ?uddepJy looking up, saw Hunt coining In at the door accompanied by an aris tocratic looking gentleman. Both ap proached Rathbone. the accompanying man glaring at him. "Is this tbe roan whom you accused of cheating at cards?" asked Hunt. "No." "Cotnt, this is my friend Harvey Rathbone. The Count de Toarlnue, Harvey. There is some mistake." The fount, mollified, asked for an ac count of the affair and a description of the pereou who had been personating him. then returned to his home. Rathbone was worn out with excite ment and the load he bore and did not know what to do. Hunt took Mm by the arm and ted him to the Place de la Concorde and thence up tbe Champ* Elyeee*. There they walkad and talked till the sua stood high in the sky. Then Hunt decided to take his friend home to face an Investigation. When the front door opened Mr*. Rathbone threw himself Into her hue band's arms, hysterically exclaiming: "Ob. a?r\*y, wbero have you been? The house has been entered and all my Jewels taken!" The two men darted glance* at uach other ftjli of meaning. It was plain that a thief bad played a pretty gam* end effected bis escape. 'Thank GodP' exclaimed Rathbone "Wh^t do you mean?" cried the wife. "Why, my dear, I mean? the fact to I have news of the winning of a suit at home by which I will acquire quite enough io replace your Jewels. Let us have breakfast." The Jew?
