John Morton's wife was the popular
prima donna OF a high-class light OPP
era theater. Her stage name was
well, It was and is well known. She
was the pet OF the public, courted,
hattered and feted as few others OF
the theatrical armament ever have
been. Yet she was a miserable wom-
an.
Wealth, fame and admiration had
been so freely lavished upon her that
she was In a position to enjoy to the
full that most cherished qualification
of her sex, the jealous envy OF all
other professional women.
She had youth, beauty and dia-
monds galore. Flowers we're flung at
her nightly, and the daily newspapers
told of her triumphs in fiowery Ian
guage.
Thousands OF her photographs
adorned the store windows and huge
reproductions of her sweet smiling
face made bright the bill posting sta
lions. In spite OF this she was wretch
ed-so miserable that she had fully
determined to end her life.
Not a whisper OF scandal had ever
assailed her stainless reputation. She
had married a man whom she truly
loved--a man of little or no ability
colorless creature. but, by her In
duence, she had procured him the po
sition of stage manager In the com
pany In which she was the star.
BY her own efforts and talents she
had built up luxurious home, which
she illuminated with the radiance ol
her matronly dignity and the ever
lasting light OF her gentle womanl,
'~love. Yet she had decided to Kill
herself. to die because another won
an had usurped the place In her worth
less husbands affection, which right,
belonged to her.
II was not that she was swayet
by the vulgar passion called jealousy
It was rather that her loyal heart wal
wounded. Broken by the knowledge
that the man to whom she had beer
true as steel deliberately sacrificed
her love for the Establishments Of |
frivolous little chorus girl.
The glorious creature was so con
stituted that she never Tor momen
thought to revenge herself by slayinI
the wretch whom she had raised to al
fiuence or his impudent accomplish
She thought only of self-sacrifce. Sh
would die and leave him to his guilt
conscience; leave her to the remors
of having wrecked happy home.
There was one thing she could dc
however. She could brand her riva
with the authorship OF the tragedy
She resolved to die in the chorus girl

constant haunt Of her husband, mair

earned. The baby-faced girl had tr
