There was one quarrel after an
other Finally after particularly Sc
rious rupture, the young wife left her
husband, and later there was di-
vorce.
For time the young man devoted
himself strictly to business. His
father died. leaving a large estate, in
which he shared very generously. He
invested heavily in Nevada mining
properties, and his judgment proved
sound. He turned over the money his
father had left him with such care
that he largely increased his own
wealth; he became one of the most
prominent young men in the Western
mining field.
OF course, he couldn't stay in Ne
vada always.
He heard the call of the Great
White Way and he answered it. Some
months ago he ran overland for few
weeks in New York, and of course he
had to have his nails fixed up after so
many months in the wilds of Nevada
and its mining camps.
HIS was On NulCn ltol
BY chance Miss Byers was assigned
to take care of young Mr.. Dunlap's
fingers. He found himself facing a
tall, Gibsonesque young girl, barely Is,
who treated his nails so deftly that he
was captivated at once. He glanced
for second time at the young woman
who held his big hand so lightly in her
own, and he was smitten very, very
badly.
Became Regular Visitor.
He paid his fee and went away.
Next day he was back again. His
nails seemed to be bothering him very
much, though the polish which Miss
Byers had put upon them had hardly
worn off at all.
There was another polishing and an.
other trimming, and the young mil
lionaire went away neither heart
whole or fancy free. In fact, he was
very much in love. And so Miss
Peart's parlors saw the young million
aire there every day.
But there was fly in the ointment
not the nail ointment, which was ir
reproachable.
1t was much more serious propo
sition. Just about the time that the
young man got ready to lay his heart
and his fortune at the feet of the pret

poor. Wasn't that enough material
for Cupid to work upon?
Disparity of age? Fiddlesticks!
Wasn't she the prettiest girl in New
York?-that is, if young Sohmer's
opinion counted. Well, at any rate,
he fell head over heels in love, and
he asked the pretty manicure to be
his bride. She said the Yes" he
craved, but then there was the sena-
tor.
But-with him the young man plead
ed his suit equally well, and the father
capitulated. He summoned his family,
took them all to the Little Church

Houghton tied the knot. Then in a
shower of rice the pretty bride went
away on honeymoon trip TO Atlantic
City and Richmond, Va, where her
people live. BY this time the family
must know well the young and ardent
bridegroom, who carried his suit by
storm from manicure table to the very
altar. When they come ONE Mr.. and

Then there was Spencer G. Prime,

skin he married Miss Julia Burr, who
had manicured his nails throughout
his college course. Some day the
young man will inherit the millions of
his father, S. w. Prime But what
young Prime did was in no way differ

Mr.. Dunlap aid and abet her that Mrs.
Byers readily gave in.

Mr.. Dunlap was suddenly summoned
West. He went to Nevada, leaving
word for Mrs. Byers and her daughter
to meet him in Chicago. They were
there on time so was he. Even then
the two young people tried to keep the
engagement secret. In fact, both de-
MED it, and so did Mrs. Byers. But
the flowers and the notes that were
constantly going up to Miss Byer's
apartments told their own story. So
mother and daughter quit Chicago,
and so did Mr.. Dunlap.
That didn't keep Mrs. Byers and

met them. Mr.. Dunlap promptly went
to the proper authorities and got a
marriage license. Then he went to
