Harold Carraway was one Of the hand
soonest and most joyial young married men
In the thriving little city of Wellfeld.
Apparently he had everything to make him
happy that young man of the world could
wish for. lie was a good business man
and stood high in the confidence of his EN-
ployers, the great and wealthy firm of
Blackley. Slower 4 Heller, manufacturers
of the renowned ''Scamp-Iron" sweeping
and rowing machines. Besides the gen.
erous salary which the firm paid
him for his services, he was
bold player and his ''quiet games with
the boys. indulged in on rainy evenings and
Sunday afternoons. contributed not little
toward paving his expenses. He was pos
sessed of a young wife and child that any
father might be proud of. They boarded
at the Londaga House. one of the leading
hotels of Welliield, kept horse and car
rage, dressed as well as the best, and alto
gether gave the thoughtless world about
them an impression that they were very
comfortable and happy.
However. "A is happy, b is not" the
handsome Young husband was gay. the
Young wife was jealous. and. all things con-
sidered. life was not exactly bed of
roses. Early last spring. while Harold
was on visit to the neighboring city Of Co
lumhia. he met a young lady from the vii
lage of Troja. named Hebe Fuelman. Hebe
was not beautiful. but she was extremely
lively and attractive and not in the least
ayerse to rapid Irritation with handsome
man. Whether or not Hebe knew that
young Carraway was married, nobody
knows but herself. II she did. little
thing like that did not annoy her in the least.
and a fiourishng Irritation was soon the re-
suit Of their acquaintance.
As Troja was quite near Wellheld. he
called on her frequently at her home, after her
return from Columbia. His frequent absences
when he was ''out of town on business"
aroused Mrs. Carraway's suspicious. She
her inquiries was displayed in some very
lively scenes in their apartments at the Lon
dasa House
Along in August. Miss Fuelman visited
relations of high social standing in Well
field. and one Sunday party of four, Of
which she was one. spent the day at Blue
Springs. a watering place In the vicinity.
Harold and his wife were there also. and he
managed to have quite little conversation
with his clandestine love. That night there
was wailing and gnashing of teeth at the
Londaga House. When the county fair was
held in Troja in September, Harold
was there, experimenting the display Of
sweepers and rowers, manufactured by
Blackley, Slower 4 Heller. During this
week. the Irritation was at its height. but
when he returned Ia Weltield. he found
woeful state of things. His wife. driven
almost frantic by jealous grief. had packed
up her wardrobe and the trunks were stand
ing in the hall. She attempted to lecture
her recreant husband. but her feelings over
whelmed her and she almost went into hys-
terics. The proprietor and boarders in the
her, but nothing could be done TO restore
peace. Finally Mr.. Blackley was brought
down and succeeded in pacifying her by as
surfing her that Caraway had been attending
strictly to business in Troja, and that his
presence there had been absolutely neces-
sary.
Thus far the novel has been all tragedy;
now for the comedy. One afternoon a
couple of months ago. Harold went again to |
Troja to call upon his enamorata, and had |
been in the parior but short time when |
his indignant wife walked in and opened |
fire upon him. A scene of wild confusion |
followed for few minutes, until the hus- |
band finally succeeded in pacifying his |
furious wife. He then introduced her 10 |
Miss Hebe. who cordially invited them |
to take tea with tiN family: and
they accepted the invitation. The world |
still considers them very happy and COM
Portable couple.
