Possibly she felt my gaze, fcpr she
turned.. Aud her face was woi-thy of
her figure. Two bright blue. eyes met
mine for an instant before their-owner
walked on.
I gazed after her till she was out of
Bight Then 1 gazed at the sacred spot
on the pavement where she bad stood,
and, behold, there lay a little pnrse: 1
picked it ap reverently and hastened
after her, but she .wasyjost In the
throng of Regent street. .,
I reached Oxford circns and turned
and retraced my steps, and presently
I saw the girl again. She was gazing
into another shop window, picked
my way delicately through the. femi
nine crowd. My arm brasbed hers,
and the blood rushed from my heart to
my ears. She turned. Our eyes met
and, by all the saints in heaven her
eyes were brown! It was not she, but
anotber girl dressed exactly like her.
My hand fell from my hat, and I
gasped an apology. I was wriggling
away when a hand grasped my wrist
and tried to wrest the purse from me.
I turned and beheld a large man.
"Ah, would you?" he said. "Qniet!"
He dug his knnckles Into the back of
my hand. I restrained a fierce desire
to Inflict similar treatment, on his coun
tenance and said: "Let go, you ass!
Oan't yon see I'm not a pickpocket? I
picked up this purse five minutes ago,
and"
"Tes, I've heard all that before sev
eral times. Have yon lost your purse,
miss?"
The girl with the brown eyes search
ed in her pocket. 2
"Yes, I have!" she exclaimed:
I broke out into a cold perspiration.
Wrenching my wrist free, I held out
the purse. "But tbis Is not/ your
purse!"
"But It Is. Ob. you bad, wicked man!
I felt you take it!"
This settled the matter.- 1 was
marched off to Vine street between
two policemen.
The magistrate was sitting. Having
been searched. 1 was placed In the
dock and the girl In the witness box.
She made a pretense of being dis
solved In tears and pathetically be
sought the authorities to release me.
But the magistrate soothingly tiefxplaln
ed to ber how necessary it was for
the protection of honest people that
rogues should be punished. At. length
tbis wretched woman, committing per
jury for the sake of a paltiy purse,
suffered the oath to be administered
and swore the purse was hers. I
I was taken away to the cells and a
little later to Pentonville.
In this impolite retirement 1 .spent
the seven most hideous days and
nights of my life. But on the eighth
day came release. A warder entered
my cell and. with, more respect than
I had yet received in the prison, told
me that my Innocence had been dis:
covered.
My good name, and my clothes-, hav
ing been restored to me. 1 was re
quested—a refreshing change from be
ing ordered—to step into a private
room. Here I found. three ladles—a
majestic matron, the girl with the
brown eyes who bad procured me a
week's living free of expense ,and,
marvelous to relate, the girl with the
blue eyes, with whom I was still in
love. Both girls were, except for their
eyes, exactly alike. Twins. I began!
to see.
The girl with the brown eyes bad
tears in them. The girl with the blue
eyes also bad her handkerchief to her
face.
The matron said gravely:
"Sir, an awful wrong has been done
to you. for which I question whether
we can make adequate amends. I
can. however, express my most deep'
and sincere regret. But before I en
deavor to explain permit me to Intro
duce myself. I am Mrs. Geoffrey
Featberstone, and these are my daugh
ters. Mabel and Alice."
"Pardon ine. Mrs. Keatherstone." I
said. "I have already bad the honor of
an introduction to Miss Alice Feather
stone. and the result of the Introduc
tion was such that, having no natural
taste for penal servitude. 1 would rath
er not pursue the acquaintance."
"Your auger is just. Mr. Felix. But'
you will at least permit me to explain.
On the day on, which this awful thing1
happened my daughters wore :new I
dresses exactly alike." "V
Mrs. Featherstone then proceeded^
"The dressmaker bad made tbe pock
ets of these dresses ridiculously shal
low. Mabel declared that she would
never dare to put anything In ber pock
et for fear of having It taken."but
Alice laughed at the idea and declared
that she was competent to guard ber
pocket if Mabel was not. They went
shopping, and Alice insisted on put
ting ber purse in her pocket. lt bad
not been there for five minutes before
Mabel, from pure love of mischief, took
It out unpereelved by Alice and put -It
In her own'pocket The girls became
separated in Regent street and the
purse must have fallen out of Mabel's
pocket when you saw ber. Alice did
not miss It till she saw It In your
hand, and then—what could she thinkf*
"Oh. Mr Felix/' exclaimed Alice,
**please forgive me! Ob. please say
you will try to forgive ins* Mabel and
I had a tiff over those wretched pock
ets, and we did not sp^ak for a whole
week till tbis morning *hen she came
to make it up. '.Co my horror,

By
Often in summer, when doors and
windows were left open to admit air,
1 could hear the rattle of dishes, the
drawing of a cork, the clink of glasses,
and knew the couple were' having a
supper together. 1 remember one
night when
I
One lOoruIbg I did not hear tbe bus
band conije-'in at the usitat bnur. and
the nest Jay a doctor's buggy drove
up to the'front-door The doctor went
up to their'flat. He came every day
for awhile: thep a hearse stopped at
the door, and I knew that the poor
woman would not have longer to suffer
the irregularities of a brutal husband.
Sbe never returned to tbes flat.
Some eighteen- months afterward,
while at an eventug party. I saw her
standing chatting* with the hostess.
I recoguized ber at once. How. could
I help Tecogiliziug tier since had car
ried tliu' one brief glimpse 1 bad got
of her io ujy heart ever since? In a
moment I was sidHng up to the hostess
and received the coveted Introduction.
1 ref^tim-d from telling the widow
that I bad lived beneath-her and was
aware of bow she had been obligpd to
sit up night after night waiting for
that husband. I didn't wjsh to awak
en painhil memories. 1 infinitely pre
ferred that .sue should think she was
meeting me for the first tlnnC
The hostess arranged for a more
than casual acquaintance between me
and the .widow. I saw much of her.'
There wm uotbiug -of the Ixthemian
about ber.- Indeed, she seemed to have
domestic tastes. Nevertheless 1 want
ed her. and did my best 10 win-her.
All this while I kept* In ihe back
ground tny knowledge of her pn,st and
my suruii:«,: concerning her. In time
she -consented .to:become my wife.-
I hud put off so long h*IHrjg her that'
I bad known of her formex domestic
life that -i I, resolved .to defer doing -so
till immediately^af{er our marriage.* In
deed, I wished to tnake an experiment.
Would she ecdure as much from ui?
as from her first husband? I proposed
to put her to the test. Ou our return
from the honeymoon I.told her that I
desired to. visit a- former bachelor
chum. .She assented. At 3 "In the
morning'1 opened nly front door and
went upstairs... I expected to see my
wife's bedroom door open and feel her
arms about my neck. What was my

How she could eudure to live with.a
man who kept such Irregular hours I
could not imagine, should, rather
say regular hours, for he seldom came
In till morning. It would be 3^o'clock
and sometimes 4 o'clock whtui- he
passed my floor. I would hear a door
open above, and at times wbeu my
own door stood ajar I could .hear a
kiss of welcome. After- that there
would be moving about above, and
sometimes a ripple of feminine laugh
ter. never a scolding word, escaped
from rbelr apartments.
could smell the odor of
some ^avoty dish.
I
got up. dressed
myself, wjeiit out to a restaurant and
got a dozen'oysters, with a bottle of
ale. But It was only my stomach that
was appeased, not my heart, and I
yearned for such an angel as lived In
the flat above me and thought what a
different husband 1 would make ber.
Surely she must have bad something
of the bobenilan In ber nature, and,
above all. 1 wanted for a wife a wo
man of that kind. 1 pitied those men
whose wives must always remain at
home and 'make their husbands misera
ble unless they are always at home
too. What a jewel a woman must be
who could receive ber husband^ at all
hours of the morning after be bad
spent nearly tbe whole night carous
ing or playing poker at his club, give
him a loving kiss and cook a supper
for him!. And when this Is kept up
night after higbt what must tbe en
during amiability of that woman be?
One day 1 left my room just in time
to meet her on the landing. 1 lifted
my "'bat 'add-' moved aside for ber to
pass, taking at the same time a good
long look at her face." It was as fresh
as If she were uot awakened every
morning by her brutal husband. It
was not such a face as 1 bad expected
to see. I and fancied it would conr
tail.) a devil-may-care expression, com
mon with boUeuiiun women. Her fea
tures, ou-tlie contrary, were IntellectUr
al, with a trace of seriousness in tbem.
Then it occurred to me that with,
such a husband bow could sbe help
being serious. It was a wonder that
she did not show traces of suffering.

SITUATION
IN MEXICO
A POLITICAL REIGN OF TERROR
IN MEXICO.
"Moving Pictures of Mexico in Fer
ment" is another in the series on "Bar
barous Mexico," which is appearing in
the American Magazine. In this one,
which is the leading feature of the
January issue, the writer claims that
at this moment there is a political
reign of terror in Mexico. He says:
"It seems to be evident from an ex
amination of many. Mexican newspa
pers and from private letters received,
that at this moment no important op
ponent of Diaz or of his candidates is
•safe from annoyance or persecution.
Some of them have been driven out of
Mexico others have been imprisoned
others have been stripped of power
and influence by various devises. Tbe
movement toward free nominations
and elections has aroused the govern
ment to severely supresslve measures.
And moreover, the Mexican govern
ment is now trying to extend Its ter
rorizing hand across the border into
the United States."
