OF course, the descriptions OF
spectators of such performances are
always, unconsciously, exaggerated.
Their sympathetic interest is 40
lively and their Imagination Is so
thoroughly enlisted In helping out
their eyesight that they overlook,

Dramatic Story of Devoted Husband Who Discovers
His Wife is in Love With Another Man

and that his cousin had been In
love for many years with a woman
whom he could not possibly marry.
He could not even tell her that
he loved her. 1t is probable that
she knew OF his love, but. did not
realise Its depth or its beauty; she
thought OF 1t perhaps as that pret-
ty sentiment of regret and agita-
tion without no bachelor, who II

Is complete. Upon her birthday
flowers always came from him.
But then there were other women,
like Mary Hastings. who invariably
received flowers from him upon
their birthdays.
Often when tffe woman he loved
and her husband were hard-up, he
found ways to make life easier and
drive as he wished. and he would
more agreeable for them. He would
complain. that his runabout did not
beg them, as a favor. TO take 1t
or his hands. IL they happened to
need a car. and break 1t in for
him.
Peter Offers, To Go Along.
He was ready to lend the hus-
band any amount of money at any
time. and in subtle and hidden
ways he helped the husband In
his career. II they had both died
he would have adopted their child
and made q fairy princess of her.
The husband. who knew of their
love. would have trusted his wife
with Peter Manners upon desert
island. In addition. the men loved
each other like brothers, and 1t
had been like that with them
ever since they were children.
Peter Manners was the sole oc-
cupant of the reading room. and
this made 1t possible for the two
cousins to disregard the notice
which urged upon members of the
club the beauty of refraining from
conservation.
When they had shaken hands,
Frank Manners at once asked his

He explained why:
"Diana and l." he said. "sre go

Perhaps it's best for you to
know" he said. He took from his
pocket the note which Diana had
left for him. and handed 1t to her
without comment. When she had
read II she said:
"You think they will go to this
place in the Catskills?"

told me. Don't worry very much.

"To borrow a motor. No train

you'll have to say where you are

still time to pack bag. 1t was
