Seat
He changed the Terms in several
Leases and was enabled to slip her a
hot Surprise on the Birthday.
When she came down the Steps for
the usual bowl along the Avenue. so
as to get some Fresh Smoke, she be-
held rubber-tired Victoria, drawn
by two expensive Bang-Tails in jingly
Harness and surmounted by import
ant Turks in overwhelming Livery.
She was SO trancified with Delight
that she went right over to Willough-
by and gave him Sweet Kiss, after
looking about rather carefully for the
exposed portion of the Frontispiece.
Frances did lot of Calling within
the next two weeks, and to all those
who remarked upon the smartness of
the Equjpage, she declared that the
Man she had to put up with carried
ThrolsSing Heart even if he was an
Intellectual Nudge.

Thing, all of whose Habiliments
seemed melting and dripping down
ward, came YEARLY from Stateroom
B. as the Train pulled into Reno,
Nevada.
She seemed quite alone, except for
a couple of Maids.
After she had given Directions con-
corning the nine Wardrobe Trunks
and the Live Stock, she was motored
to a specially reserved Cottage at
the corner of Liberty Street and Hope
Avenue.
Next day she sat at the other side
of a Table from Lawyer, removing
the poisoned Javelins from her fragile
Person and holding them up before
the shuddering Shyster.
She had Tale of Woe calculated
to pulp a Heart of Stone. In blocking
out the Affidavit, her sympathetic At
torney made Pencil Notes as follows:
Her name was Ethel Louise, ia
vorite Daughter of Willoughby and
Frances, the well-known Blue-Bloods
of the Western Metropolis.
She had finished off at Miss Sniff
fie's exclusive School, which over
looked the Hudson and the Common
School Branches.
After she learned how to enter a
Ballroom and while on her way to
attack Europe for the third time, the
Viper crossed her Pathway.
She accepted him because his name
was Hubert, he looked like an Eng
lishman, and one of his Ancestors
turned the water into Chesapeake
Bay.
While some of the Wedding Guests
were still in the Hospital, he began
to practice the most diabolical Cruel
ties.
He induced her to get on his yacht
and go cruising through the Mediter-
ranean when she wanted to take an
Apartment in Paris.
At Monte Carlo he scolded her tor

The Lawyer said that Hubert was a
Pup, beyond all Cavil.
Cairo, Egypt, yielded up another
Dark Chapter of History.
1t came out in the sobbing Recital
that Hubert had presented her with a
5000 prize-winning Pomeranian. direct
~ related to the famous Fiji, owned
by the Countess Skidoogan of Bill
carty.
Later on, he seemed to feel that the
Pomeranian had come between him
and Ethel. The Situation became
more and more tense and finally, one
day in Egypt, within plain sight of the
majestic Pyramids, he kicked Precious
ever so hard and raised quite Swell

The Legal Adviser said Death was

In Vienna, though, that was where
he went SO far that Separation be

Ethel had decided to take an $50,
900 Pearl Necklace she had seen in

much, and she felt sure she could gel
it in without paying Duty. She hao
been very successful at bringing

She could hardly believe her Ears
when Hubert told her to forget it an6

World and alight on the Planet Earth
He had been Heartless on previous
Occasions, but this was the first time
he had been Mean enough to renig OF
