A QUARTET


foriginaLl
In the spring Of 1850 young couple,
2lr. and Mrs. Chaplin, appeared in a
Festern city, and, having found lodg-
hgs, the husband sought employment.
NJ developed striking business talents,
md 1t was not long before he was en-
tagged In a small manufacturing enter
Prise of his own. The article he made
VAS patented. and the business became
fery valuable. Mr.. Chaplin bought a
house in the best part OF the city, and
3he couple entertained considerably.
But 1t was not long before 1t began
10 be whispered that all was not we'll
with the Chapins. A young man, Ar
fhur Gilman, was deyoting himself to
3oung Mrs. Chaplin. III appeared to be
bne Of those cases wherein husband
having perfect confidence In his wife
Bails to see what every one else sees
bther this or seeing he pretends not
10 see. Chaplin, at least so far as the
world knew, gave himself no concern
BIS to his wife's attendant, seeming to
DE himself absorbed in friendship
with one of his own sex. He and
FLETCHER Ford were inseparable. They
constantly drove out together, attended
nmusements together and at social en-
tertainments would sit chatting togeth-
3rr instead or devoting themselves to
The women.
What fool" said Madam Grundy,
ITO be so devoted to man friend as
10 let his wife drift into trouble.
The world did not see ali that was
going on in the quartet If Chaplin did
not hear of the scandal of which he
was the one most interested, Fletcher
Ford did. He took 1t upon himself to
admonish his friend that, though per-
lonally he considered Mrs. Chaplin per-
lectly innocent, society was becoming
shocked
The admonition was taken In good
part Chaplin admitted that he had
noticed Gilman's attentions. but his
confidence In his wife's purity was
absolute. The only change that came
from Ford's interference was that Gil
man and Mrs. Chaplin were seen less to-
gether in public But Gilman was still
SO much at the Chapins' home that
Ford, who was witness Of the fact,
told his friend he was beginning to lose
respect for him. This seemed to trouble
Chaplin, but he did not seem to have
the courage to break up his wife's llai-
SON Finally Ford became SO irritated
at the sneering remarks he heard that
he went TO Chapin's house one evening
and told hirn that their friendship was
at an end.
Chaplin at this thrust broke down,
and Ford was astonished TO see tear
in his eye. II was the first evidence
he had seen that after all there must
be something IN the AFFAIR that had not
been explained. But above ull Gilman

was made aware OF Chapins value of
his good opinion Ford affectionately
laid his hand on his friends arm and
besought him to give him his conf
dence The young husband, though
much moved, would not reveal what
was troubling him. Ford pressed him
to confide in him, but Chaplin suddenly
sprang up and left the room. saying
that he would confer with his wife and
see what could be done to mend the
matter. Ford was much affected at
seeing his friends emotion and seized
his hand as he left the room with
view to comfort him. But Chaplin broke
away from him and went upstairs.
Ford was puzzled. He could see no
evidence of trouble onhis friends mind
pertaining TO his wife, Chapin's sole
grief seeming to be at losing bis
friends respect and the parting that
was imminent between them He re-
