An ACTRESSES HUSBAND.
The Establishment Which he Maintain

The Establishment Which he Maintain

N. Y. Cor St. Louis Republican.
One of the maddest love matches 1 ev-
er struck was that of well-known star
here some years ago and her support.
The lady is an American, the man an
Irishman. Both were handsome at the
time but the lady was little the elder
of the two, and that's bad item in the
stock to commence matrimonial business
with. There had been previous hus-
bands, but this time it was the right man
and nothing but paradise could result.
It's useless thing to look for paradise
on map of the United States, but the
popular actress got upa little globe of
her own and declared she'd found it. In
vain tried to see the joy of playing in
the sultry summer season in New York
when the husband was cruising in the
waters about New York in a nice, COM
Portable yacht. The new wife thought
it was all right, and she toiled away, hav-
ing her great reward of Sunday morn
ing, when she climbed on board milk
train and passed the day with her vel
vet-limbed boy" on the yacht. The
amount Of gush my poor friend did about
that young husband filled me with dis
may, for well knew the prescription old
DIR. Time would put up for her.
A great sorrow befel her during the
first years of her married life in the loss
of her beautiful chile, ibut another filled
its empty cradle, and the faithful, loving
little wife worked on like beaver, de-
nying to her own heart the bitter truth
that would springup. that in return for all
this she was getting carelessness and self
lishness. But here lately a woman told
her dreadful tale. In their travelling
company was young and pretty girl,
and to that girl the husband was making
violent love and urgent love. Madame
got detectives and put on the tracks OF
both of 'em, and soon got into nice
mess with her husband, who was told by
the detective all about the last job, and
of course got double salary not to tell
anything. Most of my readers (all my
female ones) know how a man will de-
nv, and swear black and blue they knew
nothing of Ann Jane, when they have
Ann James last love-letter in their trous-
er's pocket, and all of 'em know the sen
sation of regretful sorrow with which
they accept the ghost story and make
it all up with the injured man. So it
was with my little friend. She asked
pardon for baseless suspicion. She rein
stated herselfby hundred endearpents
in the heart she had wounded, and took
up the burden of life and hard acting
with renewed determination.
Just here the female friend who had
first poisoned her mind turned up.
When she heard the anxious wife's con-
fession of her misbehavior TO that good
and noble husband, ,,she got wrathy, and
disclosed the worst she knew.
"Why, my DEAR" said she, che has got
her fat and furnished it on Tenth
street, and is there every afternoon;
that's susceptible of proof. Don't fool
your time with detectives-be your
own"
Then she gave the heart-broken wom-
an the number and full particulars, and
having done what she considered good
deed, took herself off to make some one
else happy. Away goes my friend to
Tenth street, here she found the flat mad
two apartments on one floor, and one
on the floor designated by Mrs. = as
that of her rival, was unOccupied. She
got the ianitor and looked at the rooms.
She asked about her neighbors.
"Oh, that was Miss -" naming the
real name of the actress. "She is mar
ried, but her husband, like many actress
husbands, don't force her to take his
name"
The janitor had a very goodopinion of
the devoted young couple, and so ex-
pressed himself

got her chair and left her in the emp
ty rooms with heart as empty and fu-
ture as bare as the flat-house apartment.
1t might have been half an hour, " hen
the well-known step was heard, and the
"velvet-limbed boy" in the gayest way
possible bounded up the stairs. Mad

, Perhaps no four walls in town ever
witnessed wilder scene when the indig
nant, deluded wife stormed the parlol
and fell upon her lord and master as
