Among men the featherveights?I uieun mentally?let her ilone froui choice, the heavyweights >ocnuse she was not of easy approach. She was tweuty-tivc before she revived a single offer of marriage; then W" t came from a practical, common I. euse man of business. He was tempo- fl arily thrown into intimate association JBL vltli her and diseerned a great deal in ler. When he proposed she took time lefore Riving him Ills answer, then ;ave it in this wise: "Some years ago I received a letter j roui a man who was dying. He told A ue that he had loved me without ladng B mown by me. Being ufUlcted by a I in- K ferlng disease, lie had never sought feg lie with a view to declaring his love. since it gave a dying man comfort to ell nic of ills devotion, he hoped 1 vould not blame him for doing so. He arefully conceuled Ids identity, ami I lave never discovered it. "I have since been unable to shake ff n seuse of being appropriated. 1 now this is unwise, hut I can't help ;. I have analyzed my feelings for ou and cannot tell whether or 110 I hould marry you. 1 am, however. 'tiling to throw the responsibility on nu and become your wife if you say ic word." He tol<l her that he fancied marriage > be practical sentiment. Iter feeling or the dead was sentimental sentilent. The ttrst pertained to the high st of all human institutions, the fainly; the latter was simply a cankerconn feeding on emotion. He would lave lier marry him, trusting to the Teut unbreakable bond, family aflfec ion, to absorb all other sensations. pf* They were married. The wife for a line appeared to be contented and appy. but after awhile showed that lie was brooding. Iier husband noIced the change, but did not refer to t. lie knew that her "sentiment" was rlth her and that it could not bo drlv* n away by open Interference. He did lot consider his wife responsible for ts presence. He knew that it came rom some mental condition the nature >f which he could understand, though le had not experienced it. lie concluil d to wait for it to disappear. Doubtess the first child would drive it away, is the sun will dissipate a cloud. Hut children did not come. There was still this intangible, psychological rronk between the two to keep them in i measure apart. ll was never re"errod to by either, bu.' both knew of Is existence. It was endured by botn, for the wife felt til:*t it was wronging Iter husband, and the husband felt that It was sapping the happiness of his wife as well as his own. One day while searching in a desk of hi:; wife for a papei he came Upc-ii the note that had been written her ? ? ?1'VS.IVU.J .^vuicmi m and had since prospered; that he knew I -he was married, but in spirit she !? - L longed to him. Did she reciprocate this T feeling? If so. let her defy the world " I .mil lie would come to her. When the wife opened tills forged ?.ii? mnrnliiir n ( llm table. (lie husband saw her turn pale. That evening when lie eame back from business his wife said to him that something had happened. She had debated with herself whether she should tell him or not and had decided that It was better that she should not. lie replied that he had lull confidence in her judgment, and this was all he said a bop* the matter. After this the wife showed plainly that she was under the Influence of ionic powerful emotion. Ilor husband ncniiwhlle wrote her another forged otter from the same correspondent, the was informed that her lover could 10 longer endure the strain of separaion. lie must see her. He begged ler to send her husband away for a ertain evening, during wlileh lie vould call and they would concoct modus vivendl. lie asked for this ne Interview only, after which, if she o wished, lie would never see her 1 gain. Simultaneously with bis send- 9 ng this letter the husband informed is wife that be must lie away 011 bus!- rfl ess on the evening lie bad appointed. 9 lis wife clutched her Angers spasmod- n ally, which he pretended not to see, H nd loft her. 9 At 3 o'clock on the evening he went jJ tome and was packing a valise prelaratory to bis departure when his 9 vlfe came to him trembling and. brow lug her arms about liiin, begged ? ilin to take lier with him.
