II like that man Hatton," Dick
said after we returned home,
and think we will at least give
those grafters run for their
money"
But, Dick, they will try every
possible trick to circumvent you.
! am afraid II Harry gets into 1t
they will make out that old scan
dial. Think what It would mean
to Eliene and the twins II they
could get hold Of that scalaway
brother of Sancha's.
II hope Mr.. Hatton has moth
ing In his life he wants to hide,
for II he has he had better stand
from under. sgs
Some way. Dick, feel as
though Mr.. Hatton has a secret
that he would like to keep from
the world. But Mr.. Sullivan, the
Pat he talks about, Ia an Irish
man who will take to this fight
as a duck takes to water
IF we do nothing else" said
Dick, I'VE will either make or
break Hatton's paper for him.
did you have a good time,
dear?
1--WE men did nothing but talk
politics and don't think they in
terest women much"
"Clean politics would interest
most women, Dick. Surely Eliene
with her children should be in
terested In the schools"
"Margie, dent want you to
be suffraget."
why not?"
They are such belligerent
| creatures. To hear them talk you
would think the running of the
whole world depended upon them
and that We men hated them"
We'll, don't your"
"Margie, | don't believe thai
any man ever fell in love with d
woman's brain or stayed in low
/ with her because she was intel
lectual."
why do you love me, Dick?'
For the same reason you love
me, goose, and | don't stay In
love with you because you are
brainy, either"
it?"
why is it that all women want
to know the why and wherefor OF
love? 1t Is enough for me that
know l love you, my girl, love
you after our three years of mar
ried life."
But / don't think you love me
quite as well as when we were
first married, Dick"
There you go again. don't
believe anyone can measure love
any more than one can tell from
whence 1t comes or to where II
goes"
Dick" said. and my heart
stood still at the question; "did
you ever love anyone as you love
me?"
mot as | love you, dear, but !
have been In love many, many
times and l presume shall be
again." he added calmly.
"Oh. Dick, what do you
mean?"
II mean that a man may love
one woman for an hour, another
for a day, third for a year and
perhaps one woman forever. !
have loved you for over three
years, Margie; l think now shall
love you forever, but I'm not going
to worry about it. I'm Just going
on getting all the Joy l can out
| OF loving you now"
Dick, want you to remember
one thing: l shall love you lust
as long as you do me and not one
minute afterward."
How can you do that, my
dear girl"
II don't know, but shall do
It,"
Dick took me in his arms and
between kisses said: I'm salts
fled with the first act-let the
curtain go up on the second"
Little book, I wonder what the
second act of Dicks and my
welded life will be? We have
passed through that dreaded
third year which SO many mar
ried couples seem to think rather
trying. We have grown to know
each others moods and to respect
them.
We have grown used to each
other. / am not always as i'm
patient with Dick as I was at
first, but he Is usually more toler-
ant of me.
We have lost some of loves
first ecstacy, but We have gained
some of affections steady glow.
But 1t is times like this when
Dick acts the lover that my heart
grows big with happiness. II Is
then I think that the next time
he does not do the thing I like
him to do I'll remember we ALI
are human and that probably
Dick has as much to put up with
me as l with him.
