WOMIAN|N The CASE
BY CHARLES BENSON BRIGGS.

From the moment when Henry
Mills saw copy of THE Matrimonial
Register" in the shack Of his neighbor
and erstwhiIe friend Jim Bates, a sui
len hostility took the place of his
former warm regard. He did not men-
ton his discovery; he glanced over
the paper and thrust it back into its
hiding place just as Bates entered.
After a few Indifferent remarks
about the crops, he took his depar-
ture. It was some time before he en-
tered the cabin again.
Both men were fairly prosperous
farmers in the wheat region of the
Dakotas. Both were about the same
age-thirty; they had arrived almost
at the same time, fve years before,
and had taken up adjacent acres. And
both were on the way to success.
The friendship that had sprung up
between them was a matter of neigh
borhood comment. They went gun
ming together and lent each other
hand whenever it was required. They
were both bachelors, and usually spent
their evenings together, talking over
the affairs of their limited world and
smoking a couple of friendly pipes un-
til bed time. Then the visitor would
mount his horse and ride homeward.
Mills flung himself down upon his
bed in deep disgust. He took copy
of the Matrimonial Register" which
he had secreted under his mattress.
and looked through it. One paragraph
especially caught his eye:
q want to be married as soon as
possible. My name is Estelle Read.

The paragraph was marked with the
imprint of a thumb. 1t was Mills

Murphy went in to get a nip before
going home. Leaning against the bar
was a bronze-faced man, who, from
his conversation, was unmistakably
English.
He was delivering a trade against
home rule, and capped the climax by
declaring that Robert Emmett wasn't
an Irishman at all-that he came from
Sweden.
Murphy bristled like mad tiger
as he walked over to the Englishman.

The explanation was sufficient and
the ambulance hurried to the hospital.

whose name was Ellen Clancy. The
doctor explained.
The next morning Murphy dropped
into the hospital and saw the nurse,
introducing himself as the man who
