was evident that he had passed the
danger point. He was not going into
decline. Then there ensued a rapid
Improvement in his condition. His
recovery was phenomenal. One day in
the early fall--only eight months af-
ter he had been left a widower-he
was seen in the company Of the beauti-
full daughter Of the Congregational
minister. That evening Mrs. Horace
Duryea said to her husband:
"I should think he would be ashamed
Of himself. One might expect his wife
to turn over in her grave"
'You couldn't ask him to go forever
mourning and incoming, could you?"
Mr.. Duryea answered.
'7Ael. that's Just like you men, I sup.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT
OF A WIDOWER

Ten months ago Robert Aiken wa.
left a widower. Mr.. Aiken lives in
one of Chicago's northern suburbs-one
Of those delightful little places wher,
Il is possible for nearly everybody to
know nearly everybody else. For a
while Mr.. Aiken was terribly deprass-
ed He admitted TO his friends aAd
neighbors that life had ceased to seeha
worth while to him. and it was feared
by some cf the good ladies who took
an interest in his case that the poo
fellow might lose his mind, says the
, Chicago Record Herald.
"We must do something to make him
forget his grief" said Mrs. Wadswortn,
one evening after she and her hus-
band had tried to entertain the un.
fortunate young man. IF he could
only become interested in something
I it might be a salvation. Can't you
think of some way in which TO make
him quit brooding over his loss?"
Hell brace I'M all right" replied
/ Wadsworth. give him time"
Mrs. Duryea also was deeply con-
cerned. She feared that Aiken was
contemplating suicide. but her husband
was inclined, after the manner Of men
TO believe that the afflicted one would
in time show that he was made OF
proper stun.
Wherever two or three more of the
ladies of the suburb were gathered to
gether the sad condition Of Rober
Aiken was discussed, and whenevel
one of the good women met the widow
er she would take his hands in heri
and look sadly into his eyes while sh'
assured him that il was a terribr
thing which had happened to him, a
the same time imploring him to b'
strong and to bear it bravely.
After the lapse of six months MI
Aiken began to smile occasionally.
