Of An Unfortunate txperi-
ence With the Man
She Loved.
HE WAS MAYNARD
But His Wife Sought Him and
Found Him, and Took
Him Back To
Herself.

Now, dear. what are you going to
do with me?"
Il am going to make you a better
man.
The last sentence was the words of
charming young bride of four months
as she threw her arms around the neck
of her wayward husband in one of the
leading hotels in Ell Paso last Tuesday
night after she had take him from
the companionship with variety ac-
tress.
She had followed him from San An
tonic where she had heard that he had
eloped with another woman, and ar
irving here on the Sunset Limited
Tuesday night she secured the services
of Officer Rayner at the Southern Pa
the man she loved yet suspected. They
drove to the Palace Theater and the
officer went in and with little difficulty
found the husband. He came out.
Rayner led him to the carriage and
threw open the door. Inside was the
y
from a happy home in an east Texas
city only four months ago.
Get in, dear" she said. and the car
riage wheeled away to the hotel
Neither spoke on the way. The wife
sat with one hand resting on his arm
while he crouched in the corner of the
carriage.
Reaching the hotel they registered
and went to their room When they
entered, the unfaithful husband, nat
urally expecting the worst, broke the
silence by asking:
Now. dear, what are you going to
do to me?"
II am going to make you a better
man. she returned, throwing her
arms around his neck and weeping as
if her heart would break
A Herald reporter called on the man
collect himself. and asked for the
facts concerning himself and wife. He
was friendly enough but would tell
| nothing. You may say that my wife
and l are living happily together at
the hotel" he said, and then made
some excuse and went down town.
The reporter then sent his card to the
lady and was received in the parlor
Personally I do not care what is
| said of me and my husband" she said.
"but l do not want my family brought
into this affair. My husband did not
n nr.f IIo
that which other men do. 1 am heart
broken to know that he treats me this
way but l love him dearly and will die
trying to reform him. He has been
gambler but in every other way he is
a good man. I left a happy home with
loving parents and friends for him and
will not give him up for one offense
like this. If L reform him l have ac-
complished something and T will spend
my liIe trying to do it. When heard
in San Antonio that he was gone with
another woman | was determined not
to take any ones word for it but came
out here to see for myself l found it
true in part but he has not deserted
me. l knew he had come here and he
wrote me every day. 1 know he loves
me but years of bad practice have
caused him to look lightly on the SEN
timents and feelings of others and to
disregard the things others term re-
spectacle. He will quit this and we
will yet be happy.
This expedition was an awful one
for me-" she said land Won cap i'm,
agine my feelings as 1 drove up to
that place to get him. I had it to do
and l did it as l would Grave anything
else for his sake"

in one of Texas handsomest cities.
Her father belongs to one of the noble
