ITO One Thing Constant Never"
1t was thirty years ago that an
old-fashioned couple with old-fash-
toned ideals married. For ten years
happiness was theirs. Three little
girls came to complete their union.
The only shadow that seemed to
mar their state was James fire.

ness.
One day Elsie accidentally discov-
cred his attachment for another.
without a word. she made prepara-
tions to leave him. He pleaded for
giveness and promised many won
derful things IL she would only
give him another chance. As her
love for him was strong, she yiold-
ed, and they began life anew.
For ten years more their happi-
ness seemed a living proof that
marriage Is a success. Two more
little girls came to them.
And then rumors began. At last
Elsie was forced to see the truth.
She scorned the weapons that wom-
en- sometimes use when solving a
problem of this kind. She refused
to nag, threaten. or entreat. but set
out to beat the vamp at her own
game. She massaged, marceled, pol
ished. and primped until she ac-
tually looked ten years younger.
But all to no avail. Finally his en-
ployer gave him his choice of the
position he had been hoding for
twenty years or the woman. He

as did the girls when they became
old enough.
Ten years later found the mother
occupying responsible position
and making payments on the little
bungalow that had never seemed
possible when she lived with her
husband. The last girl had just
married.
And then James came home to
plead forgiveness once more. The
wound had healed in the ten long
years that had passed-years that
had been full for the woman who
had been bravely making the best
possible path for herself and her
five little ones. During all this
time she had scorned all suggestion
of prosecution or'diVorce proceed
ings. So for the sake of the hap
piness that had been theirs in the
past she listened to his entreaties
again. Once more she was persuad-
ed to condone the past by eloquent
promises and his apparent repent
ance.
10 was an unusual situation that
James found himself in. Here he
was face to face with nye young
women whom he had remembered
as little girls in the pigtail age.
Likewise he had to- greet five sons
in-law and two grandchildren whom
he had never seen. The middle
aged couple tried to catch up the
threads where they had been brok-
en- of and start life anew on he
same basis that had been theirs
thirty years before. Elsie retained
her position so the little bungalow

might be paid for sooner, but James
seemed absolutely Indifferent as to
securing a position. The oLly ex-
cuse he gave was that he thought
he needed a years rest. No thought
seemed to be given to the ten weary
years that the wife had been bur-
dened with the responsibility of
rearing FIVE little children. This
state of affairs lasted about three
months, when James once more took
his departure, saying he had scored
a position in another State. From
another source Elsie learned he had
returned to his former companion.
The reason of his Homecoming
remained a mystery until II was
discovered that he had returned
only to receive his share of his
mothers estate. OF course. he
could not run he risk of being ar
rested for desertion or sued for
alfmony. and after all comfort

with no board bill attached are
