In addition, now he wears there the

he died bequeathed to her a life income on

news that the Colonel of what the foe
called the "bloodthirsty black tigers" had

him to retire.

Colonel had answered

"BilP' Hayward. They will go through

led them forward. He had been cited and

Lives there a woman. no matter how
feminine. whose heart does not beat tester
at such a story Of fearlessness Mrs.
Plant heard the story. She read the
newspaper accounts Of the feats of the

there was a great difference in their ages.
She had been thirty-One when she married
him and he had been sixty-two. He had
been more a father than husband.
But between us there are only three
years." the Colonel reminded.
Colonel Bill had the powerful ally Of
woman's longing for happiness. What
woman who is less than forty but hopes
for further happiness? When she had
been a youthful school teacher at Water

married, but the marriage had not long
been a happy one. She had divorced the
hotelkeeper. He keeps the restaurants in
