MY wife, sir! Your turning up
again most inopportunely may annul
our. marriage, but no slur will rest upon
this lady. There is nobody who knows
here that will not pity her, and pity
her doubly, first, for having been mar
ried to you at all; secondly, for having
been the victim of terrible chain OF
circumstances This lady did not take
up with me. She married me with all
due formality and blessingof the church.
Until you have legal proof that our
marriage be no marriage she is my
wife -
''S;he is coming back with me, said
Edward Conway, shutting his teeth
hard and swapping the words ont as if
his lips were rattraps.
"She is never going with you. She
will never have anything to do with you
again-never. She would never have
lived with you again under any cir
cumstances. You took advantage Of
her. You borght her with price You
i'll used her | aR ashamed to say it,
but you struck her-your little more
than bride. And you can ask her when
she has tasted the sweets of real mar
riage, when she has known what it is to
live with man who would thrust his
hand into the fire rather than raise it
against Il woman-you can ask her to go
back to the slavery and degradation Of
life with you? Think, my good sir, is it
likely?'

CHAPTER XVI.

LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.
There was only time for a hurried
whisper between them
''You won't desert me-you won't
give me over to him?" she gasped
''Never, he answered; "never
while liveT'
Then the door was pushed hurriedly
open, and Edward Conway's blunt fea-
lures and burly figure appeared before
them.
1t was apparent to the meanest OBJ
servation that the man was beside HIM
self with passion. He stood just within
the doorway, his hands thrust deep
down into his trousers pockets, eying
first one and then the other with his
finty eyes, and upon his lips was ter
rible sneer.
"Well, Mrs. Conway" be began at
last, "have you no sort of welcome for
me, your long lost husband, given up
for lost years since, your little more
than bridegroom Still silent? Have
you nothing to sayr''
Her lips moved, but no sound came
from between them.
''Still silent? No fond word of greet
ing? Too much astonished, eh? You
made sure l was dead and gone, didn't
you? But Edward Conway is not got
rid of SO easily as that Don't you think
it! Edward Conway has been under for
a good long time, and Edward Conway
has got up again, and he has come back
again to his happy home and his loving
little wife that he left behind him.
'You shall never come back to mel |
would never have lived with you again!
You knew it!''
ooh, you're thinking still of bit Of
tiff What's that between husband
and wife? Have you never titled with
this Johnny that you took. up with as
soon as l was gone2'

Alan Stacey, with dignity.

MEDAL DESIGN ADOPTED

The declinatiou by Admiral Dewey of the
invitation of the citizens of Chicago to be
their guest at a reception after his return
to America is taken by those who know
him well to be final. and in Navy and Met
ropoitan Cub circles, where his intimates
are most numerous. the opinion is held that
the iiIustrious officer Will not submit to a
triumphaI junket west, despite the vigorous
efforts that will be made 10 have him do so.
If this impression is correct. and it seems
to be. the fact assures even greater croWos
than have been heretofore expected at the
national reception to be given Admiral
Dewey in Washington. because the Amer
lean people are eager to see the man who
won the grand victory at Manila and who
is probably more endearingiy enshrined in
their hearts today than any other man liv-
ing. the great population of the west and
middle west would have had this oppor-
tunity nearer home had the Chicago invita-
ton been accepted, but matter Of miles

replying to an invitation to be guest of

Mayor John III. Senter of Montpelier, VT,

The admiral thanks the mayor and city

to meet his old friends and townsmen. H
states that he is unable to fix upon any
definite time for his visit to Montpelier, but
hopes to come here soon after his arriva

Death by Drowning
Austin Fleet, small colored boy ten
years old, residing at 1888 Seth street. while
bathing in the Potomac river near Tenney' s
mill race, 37th and K streets, was drowned
yesterday shortly after / o'clock. The boy
was overcome with cramps or exhaustion.
He was but a poor swimmer but was in
company with his brother, Leroy Fleet,
who was swimmer of experience.
The older boy, Leroy, made a heroic eff
fort to rescue his brother His strength,
| however. was not equal to the severe strain,
and Austin was drowned within a few feet
| of place of safety.
The river bottom was dragged by Thomas
| Barker and Edward Foley. Barker finally
discovered the body and it was taken from
the water and conveyed directly to the
home of the parents.
Leroy Fleet taxed his strength to such
an extent in his efforts to rescue his
brother that it was thought last night he
| would suffer nervous prostration. This
| morning however, his condition was en-
| couraging.

| Though the steel rails ordered by the
