be told. But back of it is story that
is a curious mingling of primitive in

civilization.
The motive that prompted the MUIR

mated the hairy cave woman when
she dubbed to death a rival in order
to take from her some male upon
whom she had set her amorous eyes.
Having satiated her jealousy, the cave
woman was content, and took her
mate and went her way in peace.
But the civilized woman has had

with which jealousy can torture a
woman's heart.
Schemed to Force Divorce.
The idea of forcing Mrs. Manning
in some way to get a divorce became
an obsession with her. She talked of
nothing else. She preached a thou
sand plans and schemes to her friends,
and to Manning, always to be met
with the same blank wall of objec-
tion-"if she won't do it, there's moth
ing you can do" And to Mrs. Man
ming herself the girl wrote. imploring
her to get a divorce, and to let hei
legitimize her little nameless child,
and to her entreaties Mrs Manning
responded an impacable No"
Then Hazel Herdman decided to xii

So far the story is the story of the
primitive passion of the cave woman.
Now comes in the curious complica-

Mrs. Manning refused to divorce her
recreant husband, and he was power
less to force her to do so. He trailed
her with detectives to try to get EVIL

her aside, but her conduct was dis

Refused to Give Up Husband.
What motives actuated Mrs. Man
ming in refusing to divorce her hus-
band we can only surmise. Possibly
she had conscientious objections to
divorce. Certainly she knew that she
had a legal claim on his estate a.
long as she was his lawful wife. Most
likely It was subtle and long drawn
out revenge she took upon the man
and woman who had dishonored and
fiouted her. She made their relation
ship a disgrace to them. She shut
every decent door at least in the
womans face. She made their love a
torture OF baffied desire and branded
their child with shame. No punish
ment that hate could have devised
equaled her simple refusal TO give the
man his freedom by divorce

tHy Associated Press.b
PARIS, Dec. notwithstanding
much that has already been recorded
of them the ambulance dogs have
not yet been given full recognition
for the part they are playing in the
war, say the dog lovers.
Through the courtesy of DR.. Kres-
ser, Of the National Society of Ambu-
lance Dogs, the Associated Press has
been shown dozen letters from
army surgeons and soldiers telling in
interesting detail some of their intel
ligent and courageous feats. First,
discussing the general usefulness of
the dog in field ambulance work, DR..
Kresser said this usefulness had be.
come greater in proportion to the
development Of modern methods OF
warfare.
The infantTyman today does his
fighting from the ground, under any
cover he can find" he said, creeping
through thickets, hiding in bitches,
behind hedges, and every spot that is
likely to conceal him from the en-
envy Naturally the same cover hides
him from the view of the stretcher
bearers picking up the wounded after
the battle
This duty is further complicated
by the fact that it must be done at
night, as the intensity OF fire makes
| il impossible to pick up woundedsat
night the ambulance dog becomes in
dispensable, since Lights are forbid
den to the stretcher bearers for fear
of exposing positions to the enemy;
consequently the salvation OF hun
dreds Of wounded soldiers depends
upon the sharp scent. intelligence
and devotion of the ambulance dog.
THE French ambulance dog is the
French shepherd, an animal which is
proven to be far better adapted to
the work than the German shepherd
dog formerly employed in the French
army. because the German dog is
more ferocious and is taught to fight
the enemy as well as TO discover the
wounded of his own troops. The
French dog is taught to seek the
wounded of the enemys' troops as
well AS his own. He is as gentle
as he is faithful and. as in the case
of Tom, is the pet of his company.
