In Woman's Love Is shaken.
Jabez futile was an ambitious young
reporter, employed on the Nac York Daily
Hustler, Journal whose circulation was
simply fabulous, according to its own edi-
torial utterIlncos on that subject.
Mr. futile is no longer connected with
metropolitan Journalism, OF which he was
bright and shining light, and the cause OF his
eclipse is to be discovered in the following
romantic story:
Although he had passed the quarter OF a
century mark, Jabes futile bad never been
in love until he was detailed by the city
editor OF the Hustler to write up the pro-
ceedings of Salvation Army convention.
There he met Captain Patsy Dlnlslns and
his fate. Captain DlnlSins could not well be
called handsome, but she had dark, soulful
eyes a graceful figure and a bright pleasant
smile. 1t was n case Of love at first sight,
and for thom to become engaged was the
work OF a moment. They intended to wed
as soon as Jabez got ga raise" His salary
was eleven dollars a week, and out OF 1t be
had to support his aged father, most ex-
emplary wldower, to whom he was devotedly
attached, and with whom he lived in n hall
room on the top iioor OF Harlem apartment
house.
| For while Patsy and Jabez were very
happy. Then they Quarreled for tho usual
| reason that separates lovers. Captain Patsy
became jealous. In the discharge OF his
reportorial dudes, the young journalist at

palatlal Vandyke residence on Fifth avenue.

very much taken with the gifted young
reporter, who wrote up an enthusiastic de-
scription OF the heiress, which appeared,
with her portrait, in the next issue of the
paper.
Gladys vandyke was natural born nirt
and she completely turned the head OF the
journalist. She invited him to call again.
When Captain Dinkins heard of this she
reproached her lover. He retorted bitterly,
and they parted.
After that he saw great deal of Gladys
Vandyke. In fact, she made Jabes believe
that she loved him. He proposed and was
accepted, but she enjoined secrecy, as her
parents We're inclined to look with disduin
on the struggling young reporter. She
persuaded him that a private marriage
would be necessary, until she could get her
father to look more kindly on the match.
OF course, the Salvation Army lassie faded
out Of the memory OF Jabez Tuttle, but she
had not forgotten him. One evening he was
passing through Union Square, when a
gentle hand was laid on his arm. 1t was
Patsy Dlnkins, but the mere shadow OF her
former self. There were dark rings around
her eyes, and a wan, weird expression on her
face.
"Why, Is 1t you, Patsy2" asked the aston

dramatically; "however, we are no longer
Patsy and Jabez to each other" and she
