phen knight was jealous Of bis young
wife. He was so jealous that 1t was
patent to oil. and 1t was bound 70
make . heap OF trouble in time. His
Jealousy began with the engagement

In the field, and instead Of taking

II was the opinion of . large number
Of people that Stephen Knight was .
fool. Perhaps he realized In bis lucid
moments that he was. but he couldn't

forbade her ever to bow to one OF hia
unsuccessful rivals she had living
proofs that he was either jealous OF

risk!"
"Oh. I can't see II that way. Aftcl
I have cured Stephen he will be ont
