contrast to prove It.
After q while John became n ''regu.

his attention as her natural right. AZ
the same time. the early interest &c

from her., because there was no real
incentive for II. She knew he would be
her slave. no matter what she did.
Now. IT came to pass that Johns BUSH
ness took him to the big city and they
went there to live. Pretty. soon they be-
came acquainted with people who were
interested with John in business and
soon they had nice circle Of friends.
Ethel. q country belle. did not shine
SO much in the city since there were
so many attractive women. But she
ruled her husband in the same old way,
believing that she could hold him al
ways by her domincering ways.
John was very good looking. and his
sterling qualities were very well recog.
nized. In the little social set there was
a woman. She admired him very much;
also she saw the wife's attitude toward
him. She felt sorry for him. Often she
engaged him In conversation and found
him very interesting. indeed. She
seemed so sympathetic and ready to
listen that John was glad to he with

she resolved to watch. The next time
they were all together she saw the
admiring Rlances of the woman for
her husband. Also she realized how
John enjoyed them and how pleased
he seemed to be In her company.
Then she saw herself rs in looking

taken her husband TOO MUCH FOR

that he would not always &c. on

process.

What They Say
About Us
Youthful Car Rowdies.

Juvenile delinquency Is ono OF the
hardest problems which the city
magistrates or New York have to
face. There Is even graver danger In
dealing too harshly or too leniently
with youthful Offenders than In maxi
ing similar mistakes with hardened
law breakers. Boyish pranks often
result merely from an exuberance of
animal spirits .uncurbed by proper
home Influences: too rigorous punish
ment Is likely to inspire a grudge
against society and too lenient treat
ment Ia likely to breed contempt Of
the law. ..
