expend IT'S sympathy. Here was what he
had longed for, and letters passed between
Kitty and DR.. R0senthal. At first Der mis-

she had found arespousive chord In Rich

she said, to buy some needed articles OF at

Whether she purchased the dress or not does
not appear. but that was the last the Doctor
beard OF her for SIX months. Her few let
tiers and an aching void were all the Iemem-
bfances that Richard had OF their brief and
happy acquaintance. Last December she
wrote TO him. saying that she had been taken
TO the country and kept in close contne-
meut and had no means Of communicating
with him. 1t was not until later that the
Doctor learned how Kitty had been spending
the six months. She bad rot been 10 the
country at all, but had been having jolly
time With male and female friends on Chap
man street and at the Marlboro Hotel, with
flying trip to New York IN company witha
boon companion. Her resources were eX-
haustt and she bethougbt herself OF her old

friend. DR.. Rosenthal. He believed her
story about a cruel connementin the country
and took her again TO his trusting heart.
HOW Hr CANE TO MARRY KITTY.
He proposed that she come and serve him
in the capacity Of "workinx housekeeper"
on a salary Of $40 week. KITTY had never
worked in her life and so she rejected his
offer gently, inliDating also that her repuia-
ton might suffer. The doctor pressed his
suit for possession OF the pretty prize. They
were bctrothed on January /, 1883. aud mar
ried Just one month later. During the pc

diamond ring worth $3.50, diamond pin
worth $50, and divers other articles OF lux
ury and use. His memory OF the price OF
each was very clear. After the Doctors
happy wedding dsy on February 1st every
thing went well until one evening few
weeks later
THE GREENFIELD MONSTER
Richard found himself in the blr.room Of
Young's Hotel. Here he heard two strangers
taking in most uncOmpiimentary terms
about Mrs. Essential. They clalmedtO have
known her before her marriage. The Doctor
learned that the strangers were a Mr. Morris
and Mr.. Bracket. The Doctor went home
IN most uncomfortable frame OF mind, and
told Kitty what be had heard. She was IN
dgUant, and denied point blank that there
had been anything amiss in her past HE.
The Doctor was bead over ears in love with
his wife, and only BOO willing 10 believe that
she had been maligned. lie accordingly

The HAPPY BONE BROKEN Up.
