- BE fourth bad husband was a
popular man and much sought

He was dearly loved by his
relatives-his mother. his sister and a
young cousin who lived with his par
ents and whose orphaned childhood lie
had made bright by his care. She was
fourteen and his young sister sixteen,
when married the compelling woman.
He had always said he should never
marry until he met one who swept
away all other considerations, save pos
sessing her. One day al a dinner party
in the house Of a charming hostess. he
met her. And all considerations were
at once sweat aside, and 20 win this
girl for his wife became the one thought
OF his heart.
II was impossible for any woman 20
have greater prof OF a mans complete
alteration for her than this man gave
this girl Everybody who knew him
spoke OF his absolute surrender % her
charms
She seemed equally in love, and the
wedding followed closely on the an
nOUEcemenJ OF the engagement
The young wife was l,.eas.ug IN ap-
pearance, cultivated, and accomplished,
and society thought she was eminenty
suited 10 be the wife OF a man who had
long been such a society favorite.
