home, woman who saw in him the pure gold OF
character and truly loved him. He became father
and grandfather. He was sent to Congress. lie
grew in fame. He grew rich and prosperous. He
became Speaker of the House. and was for
years one of the foremost of the Republic.
Moreover. he lived to a green old age, blessed with
health and strength to the very last, and he was
blessed with the love of wife. children and grand
children. we'll with the admiration and respect
of neighbOrS and friends.
She went her way. She loved no man; but she
attracted many men, deliberately and heartlessly.
She sought fame on the stage, and found it. Her
name became a household word throughout the land.
Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars
poured into her Golfers by an admirng public. With
her beauty and talents. what magnificent wife she
might have been for the noble man, if she had been
blessed with 1.-THE of nobility in place of her innate
perhdy!
But she had no sheet anchor She had numerous
lovers: but never one loving heart to for her
and for her health and happiness. Her money went
fast it spent in riOtous living She went
from bad to worse, finally appearing in the lower
classes of theaters and dance halls Her beauty of
face vanished with the beauty of character. Her
form became cumbersome, even disgusting Her
lapseS into liquor inCapactated her for permanent
engagements. even in the lower halls of amusement
for the vicious and criminal. She died the death OF
outcast homeless, lovelesS, and in deep degrade
ton.
During the last DAYS she often read with bleared
eyes the newspaper accounts concerning that hon
est. homely young man who had sought her and
hOnored her with offer of home and great love.
With ribad jest she Sneered at him and told her
companions in degradation how he had been at her
feet.
At last the wheel of fortune slowly turned day by
day. and she realized how he had risen with it, and
,then, when she comprehended how she had gone
down the other side of the wheel into the dust and
mire and CRIME of crime she sent for him to and
extend to her helping hand.
Too late!' What bitter all comprehensive
words they are. He could and would have extended
the helping hand for he the soul of generosity
and gentleness but before the Macedonian cry
reached him she had drawn her last breath earth,
and the tragedy of her life was finished.
When the statesman heard of her death, he said,
" If she had called for help at any time during all the
years of her downward career, she could have had
it. She had good father and good mother, and
she should have been good girl Poor, deluded un-

that he was ungraceful, homely. unattractive. and

heart of the serpent His honest brain rapidly taught
him the logical lesson that she in sense the
woman for a wife. But it hurt just the same. When
he mature man he told of it. and said that in
all his life he had suffered such agony he
did when, sitting there he slowly realized what
he had escaped. He suffered because of deep down
religious fervor of for the that he al
most clairvoyanty foresaw for her He left her with
a sadness that she wholly miSnterpreted. He was
doubly sad, because he looked upon her lost
soul.
He returned to his home and digged deep into his
work. He rose and continued to rise. He found
