est friend, be transferred from Washington
and given some distant assignment. The
officer bsfore Commodore Ramsey is mar
risd and has, at present, only one Guild, s
little girl cfthree years. His friend Is un-
married. Tue story can, therefore, be
guessed. With tears 10 his eyes, ,be ur
happy husband told of his disgrace, never
wife made a voluntary confession OF her
shume. For the sake of his little girl, he
explained, he desired TO avoid ell notorie!y.
His first impulse was to cest off the vie
and to kill the seducer, but the
thought of forever cioudin2 the life
of his helpless child made him re-
strain himself For t5e same reason, be
said, he would not enter the divorce courts.
though the truth is that the man is SO hope
lessly in love With his wife that be is willing
10 quietly accept bis disgrace than be seps-
rated from her He is bright and able
man, but inclined to be ef1eminete in his
rlauuers end dudsish In dress. The wife ia
magnificent, athletic blonde, fond OF rae.

different to the subdued charms Of her gec-
tie husband. Jbe friend fully realizes such

menliness, and from her confession, bad az
CURED an undue il huence over her nearly
year ago. The husband is willing to at
cept all the future responsibilities OF his
wife's errors. He appeared 10 be- only anx-
ions to have her lover removed from the
