his wife Sophie at 1164 Greene avenue.

whittier he was bound.
Mrs. Beck sued for a separation, but
the laws delay has prevented the case
from reaching the trial stage.
Early in August, when Mrs. Beck
was giving herself over to thoughts on
the perfidy Of man, a gloomy letter
reached her. 1t related that husband
Fred had just looked upon the world
for the last time and that his sturdy

Can this be true?' she murmured
to herself ever and anon as fond
memories of her husband raced swiftly
through her mind, and ever and anon
a little voice whispered in her ear, No.

1t was yesterday morning. Brooklyn
churchgoers were solemnly vending
their way home from Brooklyn

AS her gaze roamed down that thor
~oughfare it fell upon a man. 1t seemed
to her she had known him once upon
a time, and the recollection was not
very, very pleasant. He did not see
her until she grabbed his coat and said
"Oh, it's you after all! Yoa wretch!
Ghosts do walk, eh?'
He had not time to argue that ques-

group of persons she raised her UNI

While he wobbled she squared off and
shot her right fist against his jaw.
The blow rather awakened him and he
sprang at the woman. clutched her and
forced her down. He fell, too. and they
rolled, fighting. on the sidewalk.
Men who had not seen the opening
of the battle supposed the man had
begun the assault. A woman screamed
that he had insulted Mrs. Beck. There
upon the men parted the fighting couple
and started in to pummel the man.
Here shouted Mrs. Beck, jumping
up. Don't you touch him. He's I'M

looking for him a long time. I'll take

She was obeyed. Patrolman Shields
forced his way through the crowd and
asked Mrs. Beck to explain.

She slipped to her feet, went out the
door, and two minutes later reappeared
with a handful of tacks, hammer, and
white curtain. She took off her hat
and coat, and for the next half hour
she was tacking the pictures upon the
dinEy blue walls-first trying them here

advice and ignoring II if 1t did not
