He did everything except break her
face with his fists. He went so far

Patient for Baby's Sake.
"And for all this she stood, patient

man who took her, a 17-year-old girl
from her home to drag through the
most hideous fiYe years that cul-

Two years after she was married
she begged him to take her to Chlle

the mother for the child. She told
him that she had heard of the stories
of his infidelity. but that she was
ready to forgive and forget and even
condone anything il only he would
take her and the baby to Chile.
"she says he told her to go to Chile
or elsewhere-it didn't matter so long
as it didn't interfere with him. She
went to her home early in 1915. He

did not even telephone her. But the
thought that she was going back
home supported her.
LAS the steamer was leaving New
York her maid came to her.

Later Mrs. DeSaulles learned the
Identity of the woman whom her
husband knew as 10. And a few
days later she learned of a hilari-

and DeSaulles had little Jack with
him as the fifth member of the
party.
"And the boy came home to tell
his mother that he knew the names
