Years later, IN their permanent Hartford
home, his blooming young. daughter, Susie was
taken from him, In Italian villa at Flor
ence there occurred the supreme tragedy of
Mark Iwaln's career, when the beautiful life
or Mrs. Clemens drew to an end. Only those
WHO have read the Mark Twain biographies
can appreciate what the loss Of his wife meant
TO him. He loved her from the first moment
he looked upon her pcture-a dainty mini
ature done on ivory and shown to him by her
brother
AS a husband he was whimsicallv more or
less of Peck's Bad Boy to his wife She kept
him in trim and subdued the wild flares of his
personality
Mark Twain never became resigned To the
loss OF his wife, and MS views on marriage
were colored accordingly. Although marriage
had brought him his greatest joy in life ii had
also brought him his greatest bereavement
The following letter shows the tinge of sad
ness which had crept into his congratulations
for an approaching wedding:
'Marriage-yes it is the supreme felicity
Of life. l concede it. And it is also the SUI
preme tragedy Of life. The deeper the love the
surer the tragedy. And the more disconsolat-
ing when it comes.
.sAnd so / congratulate you. Not perfunctor-
y, not lukewarmly, but with fervency and
fire that no word in the dictionary is strong
enough to convey. And in the same breath
and with the same depth and sincerity grieve
for you. Not for both of you and not for the
one that shall go first but for the one that IS
fated to be left behind. For that one there
is no recompense-for that one no recompense
is possible.
There are times-thousands of tmes-when
] can expose the half u my mind and conceal
the other half, but in the matter of thetragedv
of marriage l feel too deeply for that, and
have to bleed 1t all out or shut it all in And
so you must consider what have been through
and am passing through and be charitable to
Make the most Of the sunshine, Ard /
hope it will last long-ever so long,
Out Of the bitterness Of his last loss, the
death OF Jean, he penned in his autobiography
some of the most exquisite OF his writing,
showing a wonderful spirit of resignation.
Even 'Stormfeld, which was the home of his
last great sorrow, he thought of not in bitter
ness, but in bravery. This is what he says:
why did | build this house two years ago.
To shelter this vast emptiness? How foolish
/ was. But shall stay in it. The spirits OF
the dead hallow a house, for me. . It is
dearer to me- tonight than ever it was before
Jeans spirit Will make it beautiful for ME al
ways"
Life did not sadden Mark Twain. It sweet
ened him. Bitterness did not destroy him. II
was something constructive. 1t created new
powers. It put salt into his tear sra . r,nr

Back al the Franklin Street gate another
poignant little drama is being enacted. a
well dressed young man and woman, husband
and wife, arrived with young boy about
eight years old. He is wearing warm coat,
astrakhan cap and kid gloves. The upper
West Side is stamped on him in manner and
dress
"You stand here, Wilson," says his mother
while daddy and l talk to1Uncle Ad. I'm
afraid he'll be too busy to talk to you this
morning. Be good and we'll be right back"
The child stands obediently at the side Of
the gate, gazed at and gazing in return at
the curiously mixed crowd leaning against
the fence at the foot of the wall. For all he
knows, apparently, his mother and father are
making business call at favorite uncle's
office. He's just b4t put out that he should
be denied the privilege of going in, but tries
to understand that there are places where q
little boy can't be played with and talked to
IN business hours.

the life Of a Tombs keeper profitable, as wei

If the company tired of liquor, there was
always black coffee to be prepared on the
little electric ranges Davis and Mcnamara
had IN their cells, or perhaps couple of eggs

Nowadays the Tonlbs IS, as it should be.
very much of a prison. Substantial steel
bars and iron-clad regulations have replaced
the inner doors that opened two ways for the
favored ones and the privileged fripperies
which once were theirs. But behind It IS
something human that isn't too busy or too
heartless to pass rat on the back or smile
OR a kind word to the unfortunate kin or
friend of the wretches within
And there is always somebody or dutv

Howells recalled. my father was year older
than Mark Twain, who used to speak of him
playfully as old Mr.. Howells.'
"Mark Twain's career involved great deal
OF travelling, but he was never away from his
home If he could help it. His whole life cen
tered about his wife, and it was her death
which really killed him. She was the loveliest
creature you ever saw. He thought her an
angel"
Because Mrs. Clemens had been happy in an
Italian villa at Florence, shortly before she
died, Mark Twain instructed Mr. Howells to
make his Reddng home dedication to that
memory. To the young architect he said:
"Now, John, don't want you to copy any
thing, but want this house to remind me of
the villa we had outside of Florence"
'It was most uncomfortable for me- Mr..

and liked to walk up and down in his slippers

room. In every room there was a table with

reach out into nearly every box during his
walk.

When he used TO stay with US he scared my

His home life was placid, beautiful, and yet

she wants to see her boy alive she'll have TO

But as the mother, mayhap with such

speaks a word of kindness and consolation.
That's an astonishing thing about the Tombs.

then he stepped across the threshold into the
wide hall and stood in his own home for the
first time in seventeen years. It was an anx-
ious moment, and no one spoke immediately
But presently his eye had taken in the satisfy
ing harmony of the place and followed on
through the wide doors that led to the dining
room-on through the open French windows
to an enchanting vista of treetops and distant
farmside and blue hills. He saiy very gently:
"'How beautiful it all is | did not think it
could be as beautiful as this !"
Before year had passed burglars broke
into Stormfeld.

was famous that he was rich,' Mr.. Howells
explained, "but he cared nothing about money;
he despised all that sort Of thing. think he
used to wear his seaIskin coat, which caused
such sensation in those days, just to tease
my father"
Stormfield which now belongs to Nine Clara
Clemens, is unoccupied to-day, although it has
been recently proposed to make it a Mark
Twain museum At the outbreak of the war
Mr.. Howells drew plans at Nine. Clemens's
request to change it into a hospital for wound
ed soldiers with musical turn, but this pro-
ject was abandoned owing to certain restric-
tions made by the government.

is haunted by enterprising newspaper report
ers, eager for new "angle.'
To an outsider the life Of Mark Twain was
a life of glory and glamour These who knew
him best, however, would testify that he rarely
enjoyed long period of uhbroken happiness
Within the walls of his now historic homes he
lost nearly everything he held dear.
