HER MARRIAGE FAILED;
Welded TOO YOUNG.

Marriage of today is not sue
cess. The cause Of 50 many un-
happy marriage today is because

and do not think twice before we
act once" We marry too young

Married couples who want to live
happy must talk over their financial
affairs together. must spend all
their spare tma together and
neither one try to be too domin-
eering over the other. They should
go to places of amusement together
and the husband should not go his
way and the wife hers, because il
they do, they are bound to meet
with some unsuitable persons, who
will lead them on.
They should gain the confidence
OF each other in every Respect and
hold It, A wife must interest her
self in her husbands welfare as
much as possible. and try to be
pleased with anything he should
get for her.
A man should respect his wife as
a wife and a woman should do the
same by her husband.

The whole trouble today is due to

AS he sat, mirror in hand. gazing
at the woman in the next room,
Spike was surer than ever that the
letter she had been reading was the
note addressed to him by her for

finished reading and had crumpled
up the paper and thrown II into the
waste basket he continued to watch
her. When she half lay on the bed

noticed that she seemed startled at
something she had seen.
At this moment he waited for

amazement, for there, taking up
whole page, was the story of Alice
Hale, the nameless waif from the
convent, now engaged to:be married

ber king. and One of the big men of
the Southwest.
From convent walls to palace
Spike Foley choked back a fear
that rose in his troat. 1t was plain
enough that the amazement OF Joe
Hasdock had been caused by some
reference to Alice in the letter and
the bearing out OF that reference
by the amazing story in the paper.

made use of the mirror: he watched
the woman next door slip from the
bed, leaving the paper spread out
with the face of Alice Hale smiling
up to the ceiling.
Joe had paused to light a cirgar-
cite: she laid this aside, and kneel-
ing in front of trunk that served
also as a chair, unlocked it, opened
it, lifted out two trays, and then
began to search diligently among u
lot OF papers at the bottom.
, All this Spike saw in the mirror.
At last her search seemed to be
rewarded, for she flashed out a
faded sheet, glanced at it. hugged
it to her breast and laughed With
the delighted triumph OF one who
sees a chance to escape from the
