TOO LATE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.-

The letter was written by Mrs. /
Charles d. Rhodes of Denver to her
husband in Chicago and was used by
Mr.. Rhodes as an exhibit in securing |
divorce from the woman.
Mrs. Rhodes became fascinated with |
one Harry Unlisted. who was already |
married. and the two ran away to- |
gether

The husband is like flint toward her,
and she has learned she cannot depend
on her paramount. If he has not al
ready abandoned her he will soon
tire. And probably he will leave her
helpless and go back to the bosom OF
his family. That is the man of it.
1t is edsy to predict the poor things
finish-either by the carbolic acid route
