vas growing unbearable to her; that

she felt as though she could not stand
1t any longer.
And now friends Of Louis Bauduy
began to note a strange appearance in
his look that they had not noted be-
fore. A boyhood associate of his in
st. Louis, meeting him in New York
one night. asked him:
Louis, what is the matter with
you? You've got a queer look about
your eyes that is enough to frighten
any one. Why do you glare so at peo-
pie and seem to be trying to stare
them through and through? It's I'M
pleasant and uncanny."
Louis Bauduy laughed.
"Ch, I guess it's just because I'm
worried" he said. Il haven't any in
tention Of staring at folks the way
you say I do. l wonder If you don't
imagine 1t, anyway"
NO." said his friend, II don't. Why,
am / the first person who's ever
spoken to you about it,"
Louis Bauduy looked troubled as he
stared more steadily and s~earchingly
at his friend.

Yet Another Chapter.
Louis Bauduy, perhaps, had read
De Maupassant's story. Perhaps he
was meditating such a course as the
hero of that gruesome tale followed
a course which saved the life of one
young girl, though 1t deprived him Of
his most cherished right, the privilege
of looking on the one face he loved
more than anything else In the whole
world.
Had the young man followed any
such impulse the third and fourth
chapters of his melancholy life would
not need to be written.
Fate brought him in association
with Leone Violet Connolly, Va beauti-
full young woman Of twenty-three
years, a widow with n little child.
She was a manicure employed in a
big New York hotel and lived with
her mother at an uptown apartment.
She and Louis Bauduy fell in love and
were married on June 8, of this year
The third wife Of this handsome
young man knew when she married
him that he had given himself to dis
sipation, but with woman's blind faith
she thought she could reform him
She said to a friend:
Louis Is everything great and good
in the world when he is all right, and
then he does not have that awful look
about the eyes. He will be all right
| know, for we love each other sc
muoh!"
But the woman who marries a mar
to reform him has generally a thank
less task, and 1t was SO with the third
Mrs. Bauduy. After a short honey
moon they went to live at an apart
ment on Manhattan avenue, and in 9
few weeks their relations had become
somewhat strained and the young hus
band was staying away from home
many nights.
On the night Of Aug. IL there was 8
bitter quarrel In the little house, and
the young bride, opening the door
told her husband to go out and never
return. Then, when he had gone, she
left the place herself, went to the ele
waited structure at One Hundred and
Tenth street and tried to throw her
self before o train. She was rescued
but at the police station again tried
to kill herself. And this was the
story that she too.
