WIFE In name only
Marriage for Money and Title
Turns Out to Be a Real
Love Affair.
Rv GEORGE MUNSON.

All London society was whispering
and questioning, for Lord Rensley
was on his way home to England after
an absence of year. He had shot
tigers in India. had speared salmon
In Alaska, and hunted grizzlies in the
wilds Of western Canada. And all
the while Lady Rensley had kept open
house at the Abbey. Now he was
expected home; he would arrive in
two weeks. Actually he arrived a
week earlier and Unexpectedly.
They had been married nearly three
wears before Lady Rensley had been
Miss Edith Kane, of Cleveland, and
her father was one of the twelve
richest men in America. The mar
riage had been considered singularly
fortunate, for the Rensley family
dated back five hundred years-though
not the title, and his lands We're ex-
tensive, although Improbable. Miss
Kane's dowry would restore the old
abbey and enable her husband and
herself to assume their rightful place
In the social hierarchy. And so

land.
This is what happened three hours
ter the marriage: He and his bride
were face to face in their apartments
at the Eversley hotel. The bride
drew off her engagement ring medita-
lively and handed it tn him and said,
without trace Of passion:
81 shall wear my marriage ring, but
not this. The bargain is an equal one
and J am satisfied. You will never
have cause to be ashamed of me in the
eyes of the world. Goodnight, Lord
Rensley.'
"You mean," he asked, that our
marriage is to be one in name only?"
"Why, what else did you eXpect?"
she answered mockingly, though her
lip was quivering. you never loved
me. You sought me for my fortune,
ns you for your title" And so she
turned away and they said no more.

did not know, nor he that she could

have cared for him had not the mar
riage been made by her ambitious
mother In due course they sailed for
England. Rensley Abbey was redec-
GRATED and thrown open. Gay parties
assembled there. If the relationship
between the two was strained, that
was known only by their discreet SER
wants and guessed at by their iat-
mates.
Then Rensley sailed for India TO
shoot tigers, and the parties continued.
They were as gay as ever, but different
people came. There was Rizzi, for in
stance, that Italian nobleman who had
acquired sinister reputation in sew
eral capitals of Europe and was not
diminishing it in London. He brought
his attendant crowd: flashy women
came and sporting men and tawdry
actors and actresses. And of the
character of these people Lady Rens-
ley knew nothing, for she never stopped
to gossip, and she only knew that she
liked Rizzi and that he alone of all
of them seemed to understand her
situation and to have sympathy for
her.
So she moved among them, inno-
Gently the lonely mistress of the
Abbey, while people shrugged their
shoulders and smiled. And then they
heard that Rensley was coming home.
Rizzi too, heard it, and he put his
fate to the touch. In his way he
liked this unapproachable American
lady as much az he was capable of
liking, and as constantly. They were
alone for few minutes in the con-
servatory. From the ballroom came
the sound Of music and The chatter of
the guests.

yes" she answered. "Re expects
to sail from New York toEsorrow.
1T will be different when he re-
turns" Rizzi said.
"Oh, no." she answered, with shrug
of her beautiful shoulders. THAT will
not make any difference. We shall
still have our own friends, each of
u.s.
1T will be terrible for you." he said,
studying her with his cat-i,ke eyes.
"Why?" asked Lady Rensley. facing
him squarely
Because you do not love him." he
answered boldly.

If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion Of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.

That was the moment when Rens!ey
returned week earlier than had been
expected. He had sent word. but he
had arrived before his own letter. So
he had strolled quietly in.
He saw the rooms brilliantly lighted
but, when he entered the hall, none of
the guests knew him. He knew some

acters that they We're; but this quiet
man, with the hair slightly gray over

Then Rensley entered the conserva-

catch of the breath, and Rizzi, know

looking at him defantly with folded

turned to the guests. "Gentlemen,

he said. Then he led Lady Rensley
through the ballroom to her private

Lady Rensley tapped her fingers up

new CLASS SCRAP
Aching for Fight at Grinnell, but
Can't Fix Method.

Grinnell, Sept. 23.-The annual
class scrap has been scheduled to
take place on next Saturday morning
instead of on Tuesday morning, the
time of all previous contests. The
date has been changed, SO it will not
interfere seriously with class work
and will give time for any unfort-
innate contestant to recover.
When the college council met last
spring it was ruled that pushba!l
contest should be substituted for the
previous tying-up fight. They have
been unable to secure pushball,
consequently a meeting of freshman
and sophomore committees with a
member of the faculty has been ar
ranged to decide this years method
of contest.
Up until noon Saturday $50 stu
dents, including the school Of mu-
sic, had been enrolled at the regis
trar's Office. This is a small in
crease over the same time last year
and late registrations of this week
is expected to bring the total enroll
ment higher than it has eyer been
before.

A Good Suggestion.

1t has been suggested that farm.
ers would confer great favor upon
those who drive through the country
by putting in conspicuous places the
names of the owners of farms. Many
people driving through the country
wonder who owns this or that farm
They may be well acquainted with
the owner, but as there is nothing
to identify the place they cannot
know to whom the farm belongs. A
sign board in front of the house or
"a sign upon the barn would convey
the desired information. A few
farmers have such signs and they
are sources Of much satisfaction ia
people travelling in the country.
especially to those who are acquaint-
ed with the farmers themselves but
do not know just where their farms
are located.
