most angriiy. when you talk that way
I think ysu are off. | know what's
the matter with you-you have simply
frittcred away your heart. your ability
to love and appreciate a good woman.
Thank heaven. your experience has not
been mine! | don't see how you could
ever be happy with n woman. | couldn't
look n pure wife in the face and re
member all the dirtations you've in
dulged in-that is. if they were mine"
There you GO" laughed Miller.
"NIake 1t personal. That's the only
way the average lover argues. | am
speaking in general terms. Let me fin
ish. Take two examples-fiTst. the
chap crafty in love. who faces life
with the red rag of his infatuation-
his girl. No parental objection. every
thing smooth and a carload of silver
ware. n clock for every room in the
house. They start out on their honey
moon. doing the chief cities at the
biggest hotels and the theaters in the
three dollar seats. They soon tire o.
themselves and lay it to the trip. E.
cry day they rake away n handful @
glamour from zach other TIL. when
they reach home, they have come to
the conclusion that they are only hui
man. and not the highest order at
that. For awhile they have a siege of
discomfort, wondering where it's all
gone. Finally the man is forced to
go about his work. and the woman
gets to making things to go on the
backs of chairs and trying to spread
her trousseau over the next year and
they begin to court resignation. Now.
O. they had not bad the glamour at
tack they would have got down to
leRsiness ooner, that's all. and they
would have set a better example to
other plungers. Now for the second

Doodle on the other; more glamour
than in other ease because of the gulf
between. They get married; they have
to. They've Inherited the stupid idea
that tie Lord is at the bottom of il
and hat the glamour is his smile.
Like the other couple, their eyes are
finally opened to the facts, and they
begin to secretly wonder what it's all
about. The one with the spondulics
wonders harder than the II who has
none. If the man has the money, he
will feel good at first over doing so
much for his affinity. but If he has an
eye for earthly values-and good bust
ness men have-there will be times
when he will envy Jones, whose wife
had as many rocks as Jones. Love
and capital go together like ain and
sunshine; they are productive of some
thing. Then if the woman has the
money and the man hasn't there's
tragedy-a slow cutting of Threats.
She Is irresistibly drawn with the rest
of the world into the thought that she
has tied herself and her money to an
automaton. for such men are invari-
ably ~lifeless. They seem to lose the
faculty of earning money-in any other
way. And as for a proper title for the
penniless young idiot that publicly adj
vertises himself as worth enough, in
himself. for q girl to sacrifice her
money to live with him-well. the I'M

know you'd never cause any girl to
give up her fortune without knowing
at least whether you could replace II
or not"
Alan arose and paced the room.
That" he said as ne stood between
the lace curtains at the window, against
which the rain beat steadily-"that is
why | feel so blue. | don't believe
Colonel Barclay would eve forgive
her. and Id die before I'd make her
lose a thing" o
You are right" returned Miller. re-

he'd cut her off without a cent. | know
him. But what is troubling me is that
you may not be benefited by my logic.
Don't allow this to go any further.
Let her alone from tonight on. and
you'll end in u few months that you
are resigned to it. Just like the average
widower who wants to get married six
months after his loss. And when she
is married and has u baby she'll meet
you on the street and not care a rap
whether her bats on right or not. She
will tell her husband all about it and
ulludc to you as her first, second or
third fancy. as the case may be. |
have faith in your future. but you've
got n long. rocky row to hoe. and a
thing like this could spoil your useful
ness and misdirect your talents. If !
