H0 Was Poor.

She left him because he was poor. OF
course, she wrote that she loved the other
man-that their marriage had been mis-
take-the folly of boy and a girl. But the
fact remains she left him because he was
poor. and he could not deceive himself
about it.
He was the son of a rector in the shires.
When his mustache appeared it found him
with a fund of ambition and no means.
The rector died a broken-hearted man and
Gerard went to London, unaware what he
was going TO DO. but with an inward convic-
tion that it was waiting for him.
Editors were unappreciative-the time
would come when they should sue to him for
manuscripts. Managers returned his plays
unread, or omitted to return them at all
Que DAY drama from his pen should be the
talk of the town.
Then he fell in love. She occupied q room
in the same lodging-house as he did. She
was an actress. She talked great deal OF
her provincial experience and the roles she
had played in the country, but she had only
six lines to speak at the Coliseum, and he
shared her regret that it was not more.
When young man with nothing falls in
love be always says he has found an in
centive." He generally says it proudly, as if
he had done really clever and remarkable
thing. Gerard said he had found an in
centive."
He was earning sometimes SO a week now.
Delia's salary was $3.50. Combining their
forces he became persuaded at last; they
might make each other happy and rise in
their professions together.
Miss Della Wharf became Mrs. Gerard Mey-
nell. Two rooms in the clearinghouse were
no longer required and Gerard felt they had
effected an economy to commence with. His
prospects as journalist improved as well.
From relying on outside contributions he
obtained a permanent post on one of the
minor Journals. His income was not in
creased by the change. but it was assured
He drew his money regularly every Saturday
morning.
The comedy in which his wife was playing
q chambermaid had triumphantly registered
its Tooth night, and the life matrimonial
opened couleur de rose.
He had talent, and so had she. In time he
would certainly have succeeded as a literary
man; Della, with a chance in burlesque,
which was her forte, would have set London
crazy.
But he had chosen badly. The little lady
had no taste for wedlock on such a limited
income. The popularity of the comedy waned,
and she was not re-engaged for its successor.
Then she had an offer to go on tour, and
poverty, which creates more divorces than
passion, compelled the young mans consent.
1t was the beginning of the end, that divi-
sion. 1t showed the man that the woman
valued her ease more than she did his tender
ness. 1t showed the woman she was jollier
apart from the man than when they srrug-
gled together.
One day-it was long afterward, but that
does not matter-he received the letter that
has been mentioned at the commencement
She. had gone away from him again-this time
for good and not alone.
This is the story of man who was not
strong enough to live down his grief. From the
night when Gerard Meynell learned of his
wife's disappearance he never did anything
more worth doing.
He worked in fashion, of eourse-he had

tience especially. and one morning Gerard is
sued from his Office discharged.
He was forty when he saw Della next time.
His cheeks were puffy and his eyes inclined
to be blear. He was in New York, paying his
board bill occasionally in the capacity of un-
attached reporter to a news agency. and
Deha who had been singing at a variety hall
in Chicago, had just arrived in New York to
die.
She was not notorious, but her name was
known. Meynell was the reporter who was
told to write notice on her death, where she
was to be buried, and what the hotel-keeper
said, and what floral offerings would rest
upon the grave"
He shivered and touched her hand very
gently. The dead and gone ambitions, the
dead and gone love, seemed to gibe the re-

and jotted memoranda in his note book for
the public to read. The irony of the reunion
