Up to this time I can honestly say
that had not supposed him to be the
prey of any one woman.

swore at me and accused me of being
insanely jealous.

Story of the Man Who LAUGHED
Bp Della Luno.

I FIRST met Mr.. LupO in December,
1895. at Savannah, Ca. when he came
10 me 20 get board and room. He
told me that he was a salesman for
publishing house.
Not long after he came we began TO
fall in love. He was handsome fair
complexioned, light-haired and blue
eyed, and Of happy disposition
All the tine he laughed and sang. and
his jolly face was good 70 see
I liked him because he LAUGHED.
Ny people objected. but in three
months it was settled that we would
marry. The next Summer he went OF
the road and came TO New York until
December, when returned to Savannah
and sold all my furniture except enough
for one fat. Mr.. Lupo had not arranged
his affairs satisfactorily. so I remained
with relatives until January, 1901. and
then took a position in Atlanta.
In July, by agreement 1 met him in
Jersey City, but again he had not saved
enough money TO marry. 1 loved him
dearly and decided to stay in New
York
That LAUGH still attracted me.
] secured a position as milliner and
worked until October, when 1 had saved
quite little sum TO help him.
We went to Trinity Church. in Jersey
City, on October 80. and were married
and then / went with him 10 a nice
boarding house in Jersey City There
we stayed for just one month while 1
looked about for a nice little fiat IN
Harlem and had my furniture sent on
rom Savannah.
In December We moved into our fat,

would come near him. I would ask
him whether he loved me.
Then he would LAUGH and say yes,
but I could see that it annoyed him.
Naturally, I worried and cried. One
day he acted more indifferentIy than
ever, and that night, when he had gone
to sleep, got up and looked in his coat.
There We're several letters there. and
I looked at one. 1t was from a woman
asking him to keep an engagement. No
address Just name.
If anyone imagines l did not suffer
then they simply do not know what
love is. I thought that I should never
stop crying. 1t seemed to me as if all
my happiness had fallen about me in
a thousand pieces. Finally 1 went to
bed again, but did not sleep. dom
think ever have slept well since
I cannot stop to tell all that followed
this discovery. I can only say that he
saw there was something troubling me.
and wanted TO know what it was. I
told him that there was another woman
in his life.
He denied it, and he LAUGHED.
But when I told him had seen the
letter in his pocket he became very
angry.
What do you mean by reading my let
ters?" he demanded.
What right have you to receive
them?" ] replied.
There was plenty Of argument after
this, but he knew I was right. and he
even told me he was sorry and prom
ised If I would forgive him it would
never occur again.
l told him that for the sake of the
home and the business and his reputa-
ton 1 would, but that he must give
me the womans name.
This he refused 10 do, and then knew
that I really did not have his affection
any more. But 1 loved him just the
same.
About this time my business affairs in
Savannah needed attention. and 1 de-
cided TO go there. He agreed to this
readily, and while was away he wrote
me two or three very light-hearted let
ters, but when I came back / found out
what a mistake had made In my alb
|sence he had drifted into other hands
and / was helpless.
After had been home only three days
he began going out nights and staying
later than ever, and when 1 objected
he flew into rage and cursed and said
that he would do as he pleased.
I hired a detective at 50 a day and
he followed Mr.. Lupo for two weeks.
He located my husband as a regular
visitor to an apartment in 134th street
between Lexington and Fifth avenues
1t was his habit to go there almost
The Washington times., 1904-03-20

and about the middle of that month |
returned TO work as a mnliner.
Ny husband got work for a sewing
machine agency in Fourteenth street,
and we settled down to a happy mar
ried life.
1t seemed as if 1 could not love him
any more than did.
In June of 1903 Mr. Lupo secured
the management of a sewing machine
store in the Bronx. He had to supply
a horse and rig. and bought them for
him Then we moved to 1871 Webster
avenue.
Mr.. Lupo was a good salesman and
knew that I was a good manager. I
put in line OF millinery and adver-
tised myself as a dressmaker. Between
US we made about $500 month.
Just about this time I began to note
change in Mr.. Lupo He did not seem
to be less kind in his manner or less
cheerful but somehow he did not act
quite the same toward me. He used to
go out evenings and stay a little later
than thought he should
Then, too, he began spending his
money freely and telling me that money

said nothing at first, but 1 began to
feel the change.
He got so bad in a short time that
1 could not but own TO myself that he
was a different person, and that if 1
wanted to keep his love and my own
happiness I would have to do some
thing.
/ thought maybe that I was lacking
in something to him and began to in
crease my attention. but he didn't like
that He used to put me of when 1
The Washington times., 1904-03-20

and put in my furniture. I put in a
stock of millinery and hired a middle
aged woman to take care Of il. Then
went to the sewing machine company
in Jersey City and got my husband
position as an agent in Hackensacx, and
went to work~myself as a trimmer
But, while : loved Mr.. Lupo. he was
not willing to be with me He was
angry to think that I would stay in
Webster avenue, angry because would
not let him do as he pleased, and angry
because I cried and pleaded with him.
And he ssid he would do as he
pleased and LAUGHED in my face.
The first two weeks in Hackensack
went well enough. Then one day my
cOlored waShwoman told me that there
was a new woman stopping at the hotel.
A day or two later she told me il was
the sister of the sewing machine agent;
that he came to see her every evening
from to or later. and that he called
her sister"
Naturally I took Mr.. LupO TO task
He denied everything. He threatened
TO beat the colored woman, but instead
he removed this woman from the hotel.
Within a few days 1 found By his
| conversation that he was visiting a
| certain restaurant, and, thinking that
she might be with him. 1 went there
! to inquire. I found they had been
| there frequently, and he had been buy
! ing expensive meals and taking her to
| the theater.
The motherly old woman who ran
the restaurant said my husband was
always LAUGHING and in high spir-
its.
In the face of this decided TIT I
would leave Hackensack and offered
my place for sale.

AN INSCRUTABLE WOMAN

One of the most dramatic incidents
in my legal career was when this
woman. after having insisted upon and
quietly recited her version of the story
stood waiting for the verdict. The jury
had been out three hours. From a re-
quest for legal enlightenment upon a
point which could only have been IN
vo1ved if they were determined on
conviction in some form, I judged that
she was doomed.
Should she be convicted on the minor
count twenty years was the penalty.
She stood waiting, white-faced and in
scrutable. said:
Mrs. Lupo, the jury has reached a
decision Of guilty. There is no question
about it, From the instructions just now
asked for know that you are doomed.
IF their verdict is guilty in the first
degree you are certain to go to the pen
itentiary for life; II in the second it
will be twenty years. Now, If you
choose, before that jury returns you can
plead guilty to manslaughter in the sec
ond degree. That will mean. at most,
a penalty of twenty years, and may
mean less. What do you wish to do?"
II am not guilty." was the reply.
1T is not a question of what you are,
but Of what you viii do. There is no
time to wait. You must act quickly" 1
answered.

MORE SMALL COINS
BILL TO REMOVE LIMITATION
FROM MINTING OF SUB
SIOIARY SILVER.
Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill APP
proved by Secretary Shaw, Who
Sent to Finance Committee Of
Senate Letter on Subject-DeIe-
gates to Be Seated.

Washington. D. c., March 31.-rhe
senate committee on finance has in.
dOrsed an amendment to the sundry
civil bill providing for the removal
of the limitations as to the coinage
of subsidiary silver. The amendment
provides that all limitations as TO the
amount Of subsidiary silver coinage
that may be outstanding are hereby
removed"
Several acts Of congress for the pur,
pose of regulating the coinage of sub
sidiary silver have tended to confuse
the general understanding as to what
the law Is as it now stands. 1t is
held by the treasury department that
the outstanding subsidiary silver is
limited by the act of 1900 to 500. 900
900, with the exception of the bullion
under the Sherman law of
1890. The silver is about exhausted
so that the limit for all practical pur,
poses is 500, 900, 600.
The amendment is offered at the re,
quest of Secretary Shaw, who sent to
the finance committee a letter stating
the necessity for an act to clear away
existing confusion.
