Mrs. Bauduy No. 2 had left no note
| explaining the cause Of her suicide.
but to friends she had said some time
| before committing the deed that life
was growing unbearable to her: that
when ever her husband looked at her
she felt as though she could not stand
1t any longer.
And now friends OF Louis Bauduy
began to note 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 80 at peo-
pie and seem to be trying to stare
them through and through? It's un.
pleasant and uncanny."
Louis Bauduy laughed.
| "Oh. guess it's just because I'm
worried" he said. Il haven't any in.

Louis Bauduy looked troubled as he

at his friend.

Yet Another Chapter.
Louis Bauduy. perhaps. had read
De Maupassants story. Perhaps he
was meditating such n 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.

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. a beauti-
full young woman OF twenty-three
years. a widow with one little child.
She was 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
we're married on June 3. 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 n 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.

much"
But the woman who marries n man
to reform him has generally thank
less task, and It was so with the third
Mrs Bauduy. After n short honey
moon they went to live at an apart
ment on Manhattan avenue, and in a
few weeks their relations had become
somewhat strained and the young hus-
