One month after the marriage ceremony

and given a sentence in states prison.

about England and OF the care and kind
ness shown wife by husband whose
desire was TO make her happy.
Then came a change. Mrs. Harriscn's
letters indicated that she was not alto

her husband was cruel. She said he did
not provide her with enough clothing and
that he had beaten her. Her parents sent
her money and one day when her husband
was away from home she made her way
to the docks at Liverpool, boarded a
steamship and started home.
One night last winter, when the ther-
mometer lowered about the zero mark,
woman arrayed in a thin calico wrapper,
pair of toe shippers and a shawl over
her head stepped from a Pennsylvania
train at Marion. The woman was Mrs.
Harrison. Her relatives were there, but
they scarcely recognized her. She was
bundled up in warm blankets and hur-

she told a story that caused a commo-

more to do with the writer A week later
another letter was received, which was
answered by Mrs. Hale, and finally one
came stating that Harrison was coming
to Marion to see her.
Two weeks ago he reached Marion.
Faultlessly attired he drove up to the
house in a stylish trap and spoke to Mr..
and Mrs Hale who were standing in the
yard After talking with them for a few
moments he asked Mrs. Hale to step into
the house as he had something he wished
to say to her. Hale gave her permission
to do so. When they came out Mrs. Hale
announced that she was going to take q
drive with her former husband. Still Hale
did not object, and they drove away to-
gether, returning about an hour later.
After Harrison had gone Mrs. Hale told
her husband that Harrison wanted her to
return to New York with him. but that
she did not intend to do so. She SAID
however, that Harrison wanted her to
call at the Spencer house after supper and
at that time the matter would be settled

her he would meet her at 10 o'clock at
which time she promised to return. She
did not put in an appearance. however,
and at IL o'clock Hale realized that he
had been deserted.
