Then he married for money" re-
piled her companion. "Well, I am
surprised and disappointed in Ralph
Morgan"
Madge never knew how she reached
home-stunned and stupefied. Could
it be true? Married for her money!
How the words rang in her ears!
She must try and think-if she could
think-and remember. She had al
ways cared for him. Could it be pos
sible that he had not spoken the
truth, that her very love had blind
ed her; that he had pitied her too,
seeing how much she loved him?
She remembered how lonely she had
been when her parents died, and she
was left alone in the dear old home.
How grateful she had felt when
friends were kind! How natural it
had seemed to have that oldest friend
of her childhood come often to the
house! How many tastes they had
in common; how easy it had been to
look for his coming, to learn to need
him! AS the numbness passed off,
horror came in it's place; she was
no longer a gentle woman, but one
enraged, furious. She could almost
find it in her heart to hate him-so
to break her faith, her trust. o it
could not be true! Surely they had
been happy these two short years.
She had begged to stay on in her
own old home. She had never cared
for money, or thought her independ-
ence unusual. His new business had
f1ourished without aid from her capt.
tai. Everything had run smoothly,
because she was loving and tactful.
and unlike many girls, had, through
the delicate health of her mother,
early become an experienced house
keeper.
She had thought him happy, and
if occasionally he was quiet and seri
Gus, she had supposed it some bust
ness worry, or blamed herself for
dullness, for not being bright or
clever enough to cheer him. Surely
this horrible thing could not be true!
But then again, those dreadful words
rang in her ears with dull persistency
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1903-04-10

married for her money"-blotting
out every other thought. And ga
plain little thing"-that was true, yet
he had never appeared to think so.
