himself on his restoration to health Voght
said:

bachelor and no good: but as am Jesus

longer. but IN five years you must die"
No particular attention was paid TO this

This wealth of hair was so impressive

pences were unheard OF. Shillings, two
shilling pieces and even half crowns were
alone bestowed upon the guard with the
patriarchal beard.
He made as much as three or four
pounds a week. But alasl in an IN

disappearance of his beard his tips went

sh;llings a week. He is now busily en-

tell Ella about it, and right there the
trouble began. She learned through an
other source that he had been away from
his desk, and like many another sensitive
ly affectionate wife began to Imagine
things" Finally she settled down to the
belief that her idolized husband had fallen
under the spell of some unknown womau's
charms. A GOODNESS sprang up between
the married lovers, and Fred also took to
imagining. He figured it out that he was
only plain every day toiler, and that per-
haps some richer and better dressed fellow
engrossed his darling's fancy. One after
noon Mrs. Wassman visited her mother
and staid longer than she had intended

office found the house vacant and no sup
per on the table. He concluded that his
wife had fled, 30 he packed his valise and
went to the home of friend, where he
talked over the situation and spent the
night. Soon after his departure Ella ar
rived, and she decided that Fred had run
away. She cried all night and departed
the next morning. leaving behind her this
note:
