IN her little room In on corner of the great tent, Peplta stood before tbe mirror awaiting her turn. in the ring. Above the shimmering satin of her Bcanty costume her young face slowed rich with color amid the clus tering black curls, but the tdelicate trow were knit in apuzzled little irowu. for a change was taking place in Miguel, her husband. He no longer seemed the staid and elderly .protect or who had so readily come to her aid when she had been -left alone, in 'he world a-year ago. This dark hini as you smijed last night. Under stand?" ? Pepita's eyes grew round as she listened, but her attention became ab sorbed in an unruly curl. "Pout!" said she, and smiled at her reflection in the glass. 1 "You would defy me, then?" he de manded ominously. Peplta was carefully inspecting an imaginary spot upon the tip of her charming nose. "Are you sick, Mi- guello?' she asked lightly. Miguel's teeth came together In a sharp click, and he seized her round. browed, fiery-eyed man was not the I bare shoulder none too gently. same good Miguel whom she had known since her childhood, and who had so kindly instructed her that, to be respectable, a woman of the circus must have either a mother or a hus band, and that, since she was mother less, he would sacrifice himself to her "?ed and become her husband. At hat time she had been very glad of hie protection, and had willingly acquiesced in all .his arrangements. Avith him she had gone before ;that &f solemn person who had asked her questions that she did not understand, had given her a paper to sign, toy which means she became a member of he "Greatest Shows," and was provid ,(i with the necessary husband. And ""'ii now all had gone well. It was food to be relieved of tiresome re sponsibilities, and since the posses ion of "Viper! You are my wife!" he snarled. . Pepita's eyes glowed as she slowly turned her head and stared him in the face. "Take your hand away! How dare you touch me? ;v,You, have no , righ t ! ; she" challenged; and laid her hand up on her Jigbt riding-whip. He released her shoulder reluctant ly, but, leaned over her, an ugly look growing pn his face. "No rightj , my little scorpion ? -You are my wife, he sneered again. Something in his tone sent. .the hot blood to Pepita's face, and jshe sprang up, backing away from 'him. "It is not true!" she declared angri ly, instinctively defending herself against the implication,' , His laugh was not pleasant-tovhear. unco, ujiu biiujo iuc yuosto- I - a hnshnH ntanefi nrt nhltea-r'So that is your game? he said be- "ris beyond the surrendering of one's tween set leetu - xtw lJay PflVPlnna at TArii1oi interval.

If youare not my wife you will never be wife to any man. and -to that-Barry; nevetr!" : Petrified with .anaazament and help iess.: anger, Pepita .stood, -preathtng hard; then with a cry like that of aj little animal, she - hurled her riding fwhip ;in : the ; man's face, ana nurst from the. room. - In the long passageway without she met Barry, " ready equipped for his perilous performance in midair. , "Little whirlwind!" he laughed, and caught har In - a- strong, bare arm.

"Who - struck you,,! little one?' , : r; "Miguel," eho stammered, striving) to controf her- sobs. "That beast! ; I; hate him, Barry! .1 am not his wifel'M Over- Barry's face 'the-' blood flamedjj td th roots et his fair hair, and Ills oyes darkened. . i; -r ..u "Shall I kill him?' he asked, below his breath, watching the heaving shoulders :of the girl beside him. . Pepita's head went v up, No, you need not kill the carrion, Barry, my friend," she said, her eyes flashing. "Only, he is no longer my husband. I declare it to you! I speak with him no more. See, I spit upon his memo ry." As -they left the ring that night a strange shyness held Pepita silent, for Miguel's words had wakened some thing deep within her young heart. The , color flamed in her cheeks as Barry lightly touched her shoulder. ?'Get into your things, Pepita, and come to dinner with me. I want to talk to you," he said, leaving her at her. door. . When. they were seated in the quiet little restaurant outside the circus grounds, Barry turned to the silent girl.. "Pepita, how do you know that Miguel is not your husband?" he asked abruptly. She flashed ;a . startled glance up at his serious face, then her brows came together in a haughty little frown. "He is my husband no longer," she stated with an air of finality. "Child, ,you -do not understand," Barry said gently. "If you have real ly been married to Miguel, only the law can make him no longer your husband. Don't you understand what mean?" witn lnmme pains ne ex plained the situation as best he could, but ;she still shook her head. "In the beginning I said I was will ing that he should be my -husband, and he was. Now I am not willing, and he is no longer, my husband. It is very simple," she said. .Barry stared,, at her thoughtfully. "Did you understand that you were being married when tou signed those papers a year ago?" he asked.- She shook her head. "I do not know what you mean; .1 know not what were those papers. I could not under-; stand the . Engleesh .then. Miguel spoke for me. Then I have but . to sign my name so, 'Pepita Marfa Dplo res Ignato,' and .Miguel say Wow - you belong to the good .Miguel and to the Greates . Shows.' Then we come 'to the i'so ibeeg -tents, and Mrs Lane take me in with her until I am so valierble that I have room . to -myself, as now. That's all." ; : "Pepltk; dear, I believe that Miguel hag deceiTed you. I beliere he is not really your husband and never has been. If I prove it beyond a doubt, will you be glad?" Pepita looked up quickly, but the light in Barry's eyes confused her, and she took refuge in the shadow of the big hat she - wore. But Barry's strong Angers were gripping hers, and Barry's voice went on a : bit unsteadily.- " - "And when I have robbed you of one husband, Pepita, will you let 'me- find you another dear?" Pepita's breath fluttered Is her throat, and she struggled to release her hands. "Please, Barry T I wish to go baek," she stammered, trembling, and with a low laugh he let her go. "But I shall ask you again, toy Pe pita," he exulted. - Just before thel evening perform ance a week later, Barry-drewPepita aside, "his facer jubilant. "I have done it, sweetf '1- have actually seen the only paper you sign ed. - There -was never any marriage, and I shall face Miguel with my proofs to-night. And - then i,and then I shall agk you that- question again!" . As she whirled about the ring that night, Pepita's thoughts whirled faster. Still, and her cheeks burned with the fire within her heart. There was something contagious in the thrill fof her excitement, and her audience tin consciously responded. With her ttejy breathlessly watched Barjy begin his downward flight; saw him awing with amazing accuracy , from bar to bar, his eyes blinded by. the silken scarf, his body lithe as; a springing; . tiger" s Rigid with the tension of the moment they; followed Pepita's quick .circling of the great ring; saw her. perform .wonder ful feats of grace- and-skfll;? wondered afresh at the : delicate beauty,: of her face. Then they saw her suddenly stiffen with horror as she gazed tat Barry .far; above her;headt For Peplta one glance " was enough to stop the mad beating. of her heart; but even in that moment of horror her quick wits, well-schooled tv meet des4her head to perate emergencies, did not cdesert her.. With scarcely a second's delay she sprang" erect, struck the white horse two v. stinging cuts with' her whip, ' and ashe iieapedtorard out of 'his stride she set her small teeth firmly, ;her lithe body tense,hjeir per fectly -trained -muscles , answertog sto her need like ' sentient things. : "Are you sick, Miguetlo?" she asked lightly. Forward she flew at a thundering gallop to the spot where the hanging bars dipped .downward toward the ground. A .gasp,, a-, desperate -leapj and Pepita wasrswinging upward from bar to bar until she hung by the knees flfty v,teet ..above , the .ring, -Hanging there and balancing as only .a born acrobat can balance, she flung back loft to where.
