the magni6cently gowned woman whose
thoughts and gaze were lost at the horizon hne.
Suddenly he moved. He approached the
companion ladder. mounting step by step until
his head was on level with the deck; and she
stood beside the ladder. He clutched the hem

kissed it.

She had not seen him; but the voice She
flung herself on her knees With scream of JOY
sharp as the eery cry OF the gull wheeling
about the masthead. Her arms were about
his neck, she held the unshorn head of the man
against her bosom. she showered kisses on his
thin face. After years-so bitter, SO long, so
lonely! And she had found him!
Gossip's tongue shed its barb, and the whole
ship talked of the reconciliation of the Woman
Who Had Succeeded to the Man Who Had
Failed. She paid the difference in fare and
took her husband to her own rooms where they
hid themselves from the curious, if now SYM
pathetic, eyes of the other passengers. There

THE GRIM

THIS is tie literary day of the happy end
irg," and therefore the muse of Art wrings
her hands, and sometimes w1thholds her
Greater Gifts from not only the writer but
from the reader too. AS long as the world
stands and human passions exist, however,
the grim mask of Tragedy must now and then
be suddenly seen. However we may strive to
turn our eyes away and refuse to look, the
tragic happenings will still shock the shallow
minds; aye, and unexpectedly disturb the
deeper channels of human thought. Yet who
in America, at least-dares write tragedy!
Who indeed dares approve of tragedy either
IN books or plays? Yet life is full of tragic
happenings, and here are few of them.
The Mirror of Fashion
ON recent trip of one of the great German
steamships. returning from the other side.
a beautiful and statuesque woman attracted
more attention than any other passenger
aboard; and yet she was considered little
just very little-beyond the pale. The
women, though they gazed admiringly at her
beautifully made costumes, and talked about
her almost continually, would scarcely have
fraternized with her. The men, though they
also admired her beautiful face and figure,
spoke rather sEghtingly Of her as the Mirror OF
Fashion. She was, in fact, the employee OF
four times year for the purpose of obtaining
advanced styles IN women's gowns and hats.
Her own pride, perhaps, kept her somewhat
aloof from the other passengers and the gossip
about her OBTAINED naturally the tlnge OF re-
sentiment.
Somebody set afloat the story that she had
once been married to the son of very wealthy
and proud old Dutch family. The young man
had left college to marry her, and she was poor
girl, from working man S family, and the proud
parents and friends of the young fool disowned
him. He was unable to support himself alone.
and surely not his young wife. So he abandoned
her, and she had made her own way-and
walked that way proudly, isolated from her own
kind as well as from those whom her husbands
position should have made her friends.
And the man? He had disappeared: gone
down in the Abyss. And all of his kind who
had so cruelty spurned him laid his fall to the
mesa1liance.
One evening as the great ship p1owed its
way westward the Mirror of Fashion stood on
deck looking forward and over the heads of
the steerage passengers who had gathered
below to enjoy the evening air. Among them
was a man who looked to be the essence of
pauperism unshaven for days, shabby in dress,
thin to attenuation, with hectic flush in his

be. A young nobleman was devoted to his beau
tiful but invalid wife. He had everything but
wealth, and wealth was what he needed to
shower on his beloved the necessities as we'll
as the Injuries she craved. He carried through
some fraudulent transactions which Melted him
a considerable amount of money but likewise
put him behind the bars at Stanislau. He
wept not for his own state. The money had
been converted into the 1uxuries aforesaid,
and the wife enjoyed the proceeds of his guilty
transactions while he was incarcerated. But
he found this was not enough She sorrowed
for his presence, exiled where she was beyond
the frontier; indeed. he learned that the
doctors despaired of her life if he could not
return to her.
To obtain pardon was impossible; pardon
could not be found for swindler that refused
to give up the proceeds of his crime. But the
young man feigned illness, and was removed to
separate room in the prison infirmary. There
the governors daughter. beautiful and &C
compllshed young woman, nursed him. She
did not know his history, and soon her heart
was carried by storm. She believed all his
promises.
Therefore she was the more ready to listen
to his prayers, and agreed to help him to escape,
and to fly with him. She supplied the prisoner
with false whiskers, the uniform of an Austrian
walked boldly out of the prison with her. Ac-
companied by the sacrificing girl, who paid the
railway fare, the nobleman got safely across
the frontier into Rumania.
There he shook hands with her, With prOfuSe

until early In 1906. when matters be-
came serious for Walsh, and he was
arrested ON complaint of the district
attorney. The main charge on which
Walsh was placed on trial is in effect
that he on Nov. IS. 1905. in sworn re-
port to the comptroller. understated
the amount Of the banks loans to its
officers and directors by nearly $1,000
GOO, and overstated other loans to a
generally similar amount. The result
was to hide the fact Of $3,0O0.OO0 loans
by Walsh to himself. Tragedy and
