said, meekly, "but not for the chance

Joe and his missis and the children.
Why. my grandson, Joey will get the
bite and soup as l costs EN-"
So the ambulance came and took her
away, but the children made loud la
mentation, and little Joey cried him
self TO sleep, and wanted grannie in
his dreams.
When visiting day arrived they all
went up to the infirmary to see her,
and ever small Joey was comforted by
the dear old lsdy's look of content. She
had a snowy cap on her head with its
little white frill resting on her sill
very hair, and on her shoulders there
rested a thick warm crimson shawl.
Her daughter-in-law touched 1t gently.

TOO late. Mrs. Robins had lived hard

she could bear, but she was quiet and
contented, and the nurses did their best
to pull her through.

wv - " " 49,
Harding is a mild-mannered man In
appearance. He does not appear to
be the fre-eater that his former wives
painted him. His present wife naive
~ suggests that her softening in
fiuence has not been exerted in vain.
In any event the couple are getting
along as nicely as cooling doves, ac-
cording to the neighbors, who are
deeply interested In the case.
"Oh, don't think there is anything
so very wonderful about II" remarked
Mrs. Harding the other day.
Il had made up my mind that
would not get into any more domestic
tieups unless knew In advance where
was going to get of. I've suffered
a whole lot just because hadn't any
understanding with my husbands and
made up my mind to take precau-
tions the next time. So It was at my
suggestion that we drew up these
rules.
Mr.. Harding didn't want to do 1t
at first He said It was too much Ike
playing baseball-we would have to
stop and look up the rules every time
we wanted 10 do anything. But told
him that II was worth having at all
I was worth that much trouble and
he finally consented.
But we haven't had to look up the
rules at any time yet. l have been
able to keep a hired girl, and so
haven't had to take my turn build
ing the fires. l guess we'll be able to
keep her next winter, too
Then, too, my SIS has been right
In my hands every Saturday night,
and l am managing to save some OF
it so that l can give Isaiah a nice
present at his birthday next October.
He doesn't know that, SO you mustn't
say anything to him about 1t.
4 find that 1t pays to let your
husband know in advance how much
you need to keep things going. and
woman who will get married without
doing so is foolish. It's a good thing
to have down in writing. too. Some
mems words don't amount to much
If they get the opportunity to dodge
it
And so Mrs. Harding seemed to be
happy. In fact, she said that she has
found life with Mr.. Harding to be a
perfect Utopia contrasted with her
previous experience in wedlock.

BY the terms 0f the contract Mr.
and Mrs. Harding agree. IN the first
place. that they viii live together az
man and wife for fifteen years. This
term Of years was agreed upon after
some difficulty, as Harding wished to
make the contract extend twenty-five
years. Mrs. EngeIbrecht argued.
however that fifteen years was long
enough for experimental purposes.
and Harding came to her terms, else
there would have been no wedding.
Fifteen Year Contract.
II they prove unhappy at the end
of fifteen years their welded life
terminates there and then without
any other proceedings az 10 the courts
Furthermore, either party has the
night at the time to declare the CON
tract null and void. II within the
fifteen years either becomes dissatis-
fed he or she must obtain a separa-
tion through the courts in the usual
legal form
Both Harding and Mrs EngIebrecht
owned valuable farm land. ne In Dali

il was necessary TO make careful ar
rangements for the control Of these
properties
BY the contract they cut their prop
erty valuation In two and each set.
ties half on children by former mar
rlagee Harding has a son and
daughter and the wife has two sons
and 4 daughter Their personal prop
erty Is likewise divided among the
children.
IN speaking Of children, It may not
be amiss 70 mention that contract
provides definitely and stringentiy
that there shall be but three little
ones born 10 the new Harding family.
The penalty for the violation Of this
rule Is not set down IN the document.
but Il Is presumed that II might be
regarded as grounds for separation
at the end Of the fifteen years.
Tire Guests Are Limited.
There will be no such thing as

defendant in divorce courts upon
charges of unreasonable temper. He
also was divorced about year ago.
In fact. one ~ the remarkable fea-
lures Of this strange romance is that
Harding and Mrs Engelbrecht met
for the first time IN the divorce court

ing and hts witnesses we're obliged
70 wait until Mrs. Engelbrecht OBJ
tanned her decree before their case
could proceed.
As Harding sat there be was moved
70 pity By her tale. When he found
that his efforts in resisting his wife's
suit were fruitless he accepted the
situation.
Terms Of the Contract.
Not a month elapsed. It Is said,
before Harding sought out the woman
who had told the sorrowful tale on
the witness stand. He told her that
he believed she could curb HIS temper
and she said she thought she might
take a chance. But she insisted that
the contract be drawn up and II was
signed before they we're married two
months ago. Following is the curious
contract:
