Mrs. Bauduy No. 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 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 brighten
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.
"Oh, 1 guess it's just because I'm
worried he said. 81 haven't any in
| tention of staring at folks the way
| you say l do. l wonder if you don't
| imagine it, anyway"
| NO" said his friend, 81 don't. Why,
| am 1 the first person who's ever
| spoken to you about it?'
| Louis. Bauduy looked troubled as he
| stared more steadily and searchingly
at his friend
NO he said reminiscently, Ito tell
you the truth, you're not the first
| Women nave told me sony. two
wives told me so. My stare used to
haunt them, they said. 1 monder if
| there's anything about it that makes
people unhappy? 1 wonder what there
is about it, anyway? 1 wish 1 could
find out and correct the trouble"
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 it 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, a beauti-
/, full young woman of twenty-three
lyears, a widow with one little child.
, She was a manicure employed in a
J 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 womans 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 lool
:, about the eyes. He will be all right
; know, for we love each other 81
muchi"
a But the woman who marries mai
: to reform him has generally a thank
: less task, and it was SO with the thirt
! Mrs Bauduy. After a short honey
moon they went to live at an apart
ment on Manhattan avenue, and in
: few weeks their relations had becom
: somewhat strained and the young hus
band was staying away from hom
: many nights.
= On the night of Aug. II there was
e bitter quarrel in the little house. an,
! the young bride. opening the door
:, told her husband to go out and neve
> return. Then, when he had gone, sh
= left the place herself, went to the ele
= waited structure at One Hundred an
Tenth street and tried to throw hel
self before a train She was rescued
but at the police station again trie
e to kill herself And this was tn
:. story that she tolu-
h Could Not Reform Husband.
