had left her tatting upon the table;
and who, departing, had given no fl-

unreasonable and unkind wife.
Above all it was wrong for woman
to go away and leave her late husband
feeling so much alone. Why should
he, John Rawn, be allowed to become
conscious of feeling of lonesome

millions, and whose splendor and
power are so great that in the simple
