Courtship OF several months. ] didn

for him. but thought perhaps 1t was

No definite arrangements were
made for a wedding. as we were
both young.
Then | met the real one. A

he was so infatuated v ith me and

we We ere married. Did ] love him?
All: you cannot imagine how [
loved him. 1 told him my every
thought. ] worshipped him! We
were so happy until he learned l
was to be a mother. Then he left
South and me joining him for the
winter. He left me five times in
this way, always TO do better.
Each time ] waited and longed
for his return. He loved me at
times, and then he would mistrust
me and accuse me wrongly. He
had no reason to do SO. only that
he had seen so much of bad women
that he Judged all that way.
| did everything in my power to
make him happy. He seemed to
love me. in fact, as much as | him,
but he wanted to be always on the
go. l returned to him every time
after a separation of several
months.
My people are in good circum-
stances. hut they refused to help
ire If I went back to him after our
third separation.
My husbands people know I have
done right, so they are keeping
the little girl for me and I am
working. They refused my hus-
hand a place at his fathers house,
and he left town for parts un-
known.
Affairs became so had that I was
compelled to leave him the last
time. He mistreated me. and want

myself to stay out of his sight.
