BASHFUL MAIDEN.
My dear girl. I tremble when I
think Of your dangerous position.
hope YOU Will be given strength to
leave the position and the man whom
you have no right to love. Hide this
passion from him, OF all people. No
love can give any permanent happi-
ness that is not based on respect and
a love of honor, dearer than love
itself. You would not like to have
any woman do anything to take his
love from you if you were married TO
him Do therefore the honorable
thing, and I admit the hard thing.
Leave him and try to live this pas
sion down before it browns all that
is noblest in you. We may not be
able to help loving, but we can help
showing that We love a married man.

THE PRICE

When The Wife found out about The
Other Woman, The Man made no at
tempt at denial.
Love" he told her, docs not come
at our volition. l cannot help it. l
did not seek this thing that has come
to me and l cannot lay it aside"
Whereupon The Wife voiced the
misery of her heart; made an effort
to revive the affection which she was
sure had been hers in an earlier year,
and at last, seeing that her appeal was
in vain, she spoke of honor.
"Honor!" exclaimed The Man in a
wondering tone. Il do not know where
honor should begin or leave off, my
dear. You see, our marriage was all a
mistake. From playmates in child
hood we drifted into comradeship in
youth, and finally went on, just drift
ing pleasantly along to the altar. All
of which might have been well enough
had l never awakened. But l have
awakened. / know the difference now
between love and a pleasant affection,
and to my mind our union has be-
come but a desecration Of marriage y
What are you going to do?" ques.
toned The Wife, in that quiet way she
has when the knife in her heart is
turning slowly.
There is but one thing TO DO
answered The Man in so decisive a
tone that The Wife knew he had
thought the matter all out, and had
made up his mind.
And that?" she asked.
Why" he said, I'VE must end this
farce which you and call marriage"
And as he spoke a peal of childish
laughter rang through the house, send
ing spasm Of pain across The Wife's
