BOSTON, Oct. 21.-Love and
mad infatuation are waging battle
In the heart of man today.
Two women, each loving him in
her own way, are struggling for
victory. -...'
He is Edgar Hawes, chief en-
gineer of a Boston mandatory.
The woman who has won the lat

Is Mrs. Helen Hswes, the wife he
was. divorced from three years
ago, but whom he remarked
September 90 last.
The other woman is Mrs. Grace
Crockett, whom he jiltea to re-
marry his wife. She learned it
when she flied her intentions to
marry him October Is. Now she
has entered suit for $4,000 for
breach Of promise.
Loves Them Both.

neither woman blames the other. The
man admits he loves both Of them
but can't help it.

killed them both with my blunder-

Grace, I shall take my little girl and

her."
Mrs. Crockett mournfully filed suit
for $50. 900 against Halves for breach
OF promise. She explained she sought
the money not for the fitting Of her,
but for the sake of her three children,
who since she gave up her position
are without means Of support.

that Hawes had courted her for sev.

position on October Is, and that
Hawes had married his first wife
