THE TRAGEDY OF TWO.
He and She Mistake and Pistol That Failed
Not.

In view of the fact that there are but
two living characters In this brief mar
rative 1t will not be necessary to use
names. One other character--a dead
person-enters into the recital. and she,
too, may be without a name.
1t was nearly two years after this
womans death that He and She. the
living principals of this tale. were mar
ried The dead woman had been his
wife, and She had known her for years
indeed, the two women had been
schoolfellows together. and after the
young wifes death She was the first to
go to him with a consolation that
brought surcease In that moment of
heart-tora grief. when the future
seemed to hold nothing for him. For a
good many weeks the two were seen
together occasionally. She felt that the
death Of her most intimate friend made
It duty to show small attentions to the
bereft husband. and once In a while the
little deserted home was frightened by
. bunch of flowers that came fresh
from her hands and her dainty garden
back Of the old-fashioned house. Just
few rods down the lane.
All at once, just at a moment when
his friends were wondering that a hus-
