Ludwig Gave $40 on Account
and Was Sued for Balance.
VALUED BRIDE At s5oo,oOo.
When He Found That Gresnwad Meant
Business He Paid the Bill and Settled
the Suit Out Of Court

In a word, Greenwald got a wife for
Ludwig under promise of a 800 fee
Ludwig paid $40 on account. married the
charming widow, under forty. who was
possessed of good looks and $4,000. and
then didn't pay up the other $50 till Green
wald had the law on him.
1T was only joke" explained Lud-
wig.
Then give her back" said Greepwald.
"snd call the marriage Off"
II wouldn't give her up for $500 ,ooo!"
retorted the happy bridegroom. and f.
nally he settled the suit out OF court.
But the legal papers tell the whole
story. Ludwig wanted a wife. He had
been married once and was a widower
Greenwald suggested that for 800 he
would get him another wife.
"All right" said Ludwig, but she
must be under 40, possess property, be a
good housewife. of handsome appearance
and gentle disposition"
'Done." cried Greenwald. It took
months for him TO find the right kind OF
woman. He found her I'm Mrs. Bernardo
ma Andrews, who filled all the conditions.
1T was love at first sight" swears
Greenwald in his formal complaint.
She was 36. shapely and beautiful, n su-
perb housewife and worth $4,000. She
and Ludwig were soon betrothed. When
the engagement was announced Ludwig
joyfully paid $50 on account. but not a
dollar more till yesterday, when the pa
pers In the suit for the $50 were served
on Ludwig. The welded pair hurried
around TO Greenwald
I'm so happy" declared Mrs. Lud-
wig, that I'll pay the $50"
mo you won't. my dear" put In Lud-
wig. Mr.. Greenwald ought 20 have
trusted 20 my honor. but It's Ali right
now. I'll pay the $50. for I wouldn't give
you up for 100000.
And so there were mutual rejoicinss.

VIII.

1t was a hot August evening, and
after Mollie had heard Hates hymns
and prayers-for which purpose she
always went upstairs after dinner
she took a book and sat at the wide
open window in preference to return
ing to the drawing room. She often
did this now, for lately things had been
worse than ever, Henri more persist
ent. AT first Kate tossed about. rest
less with the heat, but at length her
regular breathing showed that she

needed, as she sat watching the har-
vest lightning flashing across the
d%arkening sky.
She was thinking of Reggie, who
had been obliged to rejoin his regiment
in Ireland months ago, without say
ing good-by to her, though he had
brought Joyce up to Chalfont to call
for that purpose. Madame had never
mentioned this. She only heard 1t
from Joyce later, when it seemed too
late to be angry, though she was very
sorry.
She had missed him dreadfully. Rev
erton was not the same place some
how when there was no chance during
their walks and drives of seeing his
tall, upright figure swinging along, but
he used to send all sorts of messages
through Joyce. He would come back,
and, meantime, she devoted herself to
Kate, who daily grew happier and
childlike. Mrs. Anstruther and
Joyce did their best for her: but
madame cut her OF from every one,
and lately they had been away, which.
was a great matter Of regret, for 1t
was something to feel their friendly
presence near. though she was free to
wander in the woods and fields with
Kate in their absence.
The scent of a cigar, chairs being
dragged along the pantiles below, and
voices, made her lean further out OF
tho window. Madame and Henri were
evidently sitting there! How clearly
their voices were borne upwards in
the still air-little they guessed how
plainly! Mollie would have moved
away, feeling that she ought not to
listen had she not caught a few words.
then she leaned forward with all her
might.

CHAPTER vI.-Gontinued.,

-'lAH
Week after week dragged on in
weary sameness. No one ever came
to call. sometimes there was hardly
a servant In the house. Madame grew
daily more silent and morose. and
while she absolutely adored the
ground her little French dandy Of a
son stepped upon, they often had fierce
Quarrels in private.
Madame's only amusement was reck-
less driving, and the sight OF the mail
phaeton with Its fiery ches.nuts tear
Ing about the country, and madame,
sitting square and grim in the driving
seat, grew a familiar one round Rev
erton. Henri generally declined to ac-
company her; he had not nerve to
stand 1t. nor had Kate; but Mollie Oft
en- went, for she rather enjoyed 1t, and
It had the great advantage Of taking
her out Of Henri's society for a time.

It was a glorious spring afternoon,
bright sunshine was flooding the quaint
old Reverton High street, and the
phaeton had no soone drawn up with
q clatter before the post office, and
madame gone in, than Mr.. Anstruth-
er's tall, soldiery form appeared at
the Conservative club doorway oppo-
site, and he lost no time in coming
round to Mollie's side. The groom
was at the excited horses heads, SO
they could talk unrestrainedly, and as
Reggie's brown face was upturned to
Mollie's, and his blue eyes sought hers,
they were certainly making the most
Of their chance.

vast problem is set forth in this five-act
drama and the authors have kept It In

many sided aspects OF modern life. The
title is justified by the sentiments put
into the mouths of the characters. The
play abounds, 1t is said, with moving and
powerful scenes and situations. Boisterous
fun is mixed UP with the most pathetic
