Hargrove ConsuIts Smith.

Hargrove ConsuIts Smith.
Hargrove had always humored his
wife, and did so In this instance. He
went to his friend and attorney, Milton
Smith, and poured out his story. He
told how he loved his wife, how he
would willingly die for her. He told of
her moods and tempers, of her vanity,
her childish ways, OF her impotence
at restraint and asked for advice.
"The thing for you to do" Smith is
reported to have answered, lis to al
low your wife to get her divorce. She
can do 1t all right, she has clear
case, and 1t will be best for you not to
fight 1t. Make provision for her and
her children, and after time perhaps
she will see the error in her ways"
Hargrove followed the counsel of his
attorney, engaged him to appear for
him and save all unpleasant publicity.
Half awake, Hargrove still dreamed.
Through an agreement with the
Judge, the hearings were held at an
hour when the big courthouse was
empty. Where no suspicion of what
was going on could leak out, the bailiff
went out into the street and got six
jurymen. Mrs. Smith. borne down by
the misery of the affair, entered the
dingy courtroom, accompanied by her
sister and brother-in-law and in very
short time she emerged free woman.

Mrs. Smith Goes East.

That night Mrs. Smith and her two
children, most beautiful little daugh-
ter and son, left for the east, where
they remained during the summer.
The Smith auto became practically
the property Of Mrs. Hargrove. The
parents of Mrs. Hargrove encouraged
the visits of the attorney, feeling sorry
for his loneliness since his family had
gone away.
The summer passed. Every day the
Smith car, flying about with Mrs. Har-
grove or her two lovely children
dashed through the streets of Denver.
The first of September Mrs. Smith
returned from the summer spent at a
peaceful out Of the way nook by the
sea. Letters had been sent to her
telling her OF the devotion of her hus-
band to his clients wife-letters
which, OF course. were not signed. but
which even lacked authority, burned
into her very soul.
At the station her husband met her
husband and father assisted them into
the auto On his way home he IL said
to have said to his wife:
This has got to end, Susan. want
nv freedom. have enjoyed my sum-
mer, not having to account to anyone,
and want to be free to 90 from one
to another. You know my weakness.
and won't be bound"
Finally came the announcement on
the part OF Milton to his wife that the
time had come for definite separa-
ton, concluding with an admission Of
his love for Mrs. Hargrove. Before
granting the request, Mrs. Smith. hav-
ing In mind the future OF her little
ones, caused an ironclad contract to be

be no hard feelings. Then Hargrove
began to wake from his dream.
On January Is there appeared be-
fore the Rev. Matt 8. Hughes, of the
Grand Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church, of Kansas City. Aimee Har-
grove, "a years OF age, spinster, and
Milton Smith, accompanied by an aged
man giving his name as Mr.. Hargrove,
presumably father of the bride, who
was witness to the marriage of the
couple.
Hargrove Alleges Conspiracy.
Thoroughly awakened to the trick
that, he says, has been played on him,
Ernest Hargrove, student, dreamer,
theosophist, has ordered his attorneys
to petition the court to set aside the
decree of divorce granted to Aimee
Hargrove on the ground, he Is said to
allege, that It was obtained by con-
spiracy on the part OF both the wom-
an and the Judge and asking that the
custody of the children be awarded to
him without delay.
The eresheimer-Hargrove families
went west and established themselves
in splendid home In a fashionable
Denver thoroughfare about two years
ago and at once became the cynosure
of all eyes because of the beauty of
Mrs. Hargrove, her stunning gowns,
her splendid furs, laces and jewels,
her fearlessness as an autoist and the
large amount Of money the family
seemed to have at their disposal.
Mr.. Neresheimer. the father, had
gone west to establish a tremendous
irrigation project that was to make a
large section Of arid land blossom like
the rose. Such an undertaking in
wolves the transfer of an immense
acreage of small holdings and neces-
sarily calls for wide legal experience,
Smith had met Neresheimer In New
York and was, shortly after the meet
ing, engaged as general attorney for
the American Investment and Develop
ment company.
1--WE will do little entertaining for
my clients and their wives" Mr.. Smith
said to Mrs. Smith. "a few dinner
parties, an evening or two at the the
alter will rehabilitate me in the eyes OF
your friends, my dear, and make a
good impression on our new friends"
Wife Gently Protests.
Mrs. Smith, a woman of rare charm
of manner, beauty of face and Dig
nifty that commands respect, protested
gently against any lavish display until
the friends who had ever stood loyal
ly by her should become willing Of
themselves to again receive her hus-
band, who had wandered so far away
from the conventional paths. He was

One Redeemlnu Feature.

A youthful New York artist recently
invited friend to dinner in her stu
do. AS the bachelor maids skill was
greater in mixing colors than in ca
tering to grosser tastes, the dinner
was something to gnash ones teeth at
and upon. The roast chicken was
tough, the potatoes were underdone,
the pineapple salad was pithy. In an
guish Of mind, the young hostess sank
to the depths of apologizing.
1.-THE dinner was delightful, assure

tactless word: II have rarely tasted

WEAK PEOPLE

BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS. ,
General Breakdown Caused by Defl-
cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is q mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. J. G. Havey, Of SO Willow ST.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: 81 was sick for
number Of years from general debility
and Indigestion. was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were SO
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account OF terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for q month
or two. Mysight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be blur constantly before my
eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do SO
completely exhausted me.
81 was finally forced to give up q
position I had held for twenty eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, I read of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them trial. They
made me feel so much better and SO
much stronger that I started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. I have
never had return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DR.. Viii.
Eams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"

been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of indigestion and gen.
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack Of
proper nourishment They have also
been especially successful in curing
an@mia, rheumatism, after-efects Of the
grip and fevers.

"Whiskers,"

"Whiskers" was a word formerly
used to designate the hair on the up
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
Of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; a mustachio" 1t seems to
have taken its name from a fancied
resemblance to small brush, to
"whisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and "whisker" having been par
ticular kind of feather brush-also, in
the slang of a former time, a switch
or rod. In the seventeenth century a
"whisker" signified among other
things brazen lie, "whopper."

A trolley line is to be constructed
from Washington to Gettysburg. That
will facilitate sightseeing and will be
an added attraction for visitors to the
national capital. The construction Of
trolley railroads is one of the remark
able developments of the age, and the
probability is that in course of time all
the points of special interest in that
quarter, and notably the battlefields on
which the Army of the Potomac fig
ured during the civil war, will be
brought within easy reach by this
means.

The Madriual.

The word madrigal sounds very formidable to beginner in music More than once have l heard the ques- tion, What is a madrigal?' Strictly speaking, a madrigal is an elaborate vocal composition in from three to six parts, generally sung in chorus. The melody should not he carried through single part, but should be dispersed in phrases through the different voices In the conversational manner peculiar to the music of the sixteenth and sev. enteenth centuries The true madrigal has no accompaniment. This form Of song is considered English, but is thought to have had it's origin in the Netherlands. The exact derivation of the word is not known. The first madrigals are believed to have been morning songs, shepherds lays or songs in praise of the Nirgin.-Circle Magazine.
