That night he climbed the lava to
the topmost cone, and never slipped
on ragged crust nor touched choya

He saw Nell's eyes in the stars, In the

CHAPTER XVII
The Whistle of a Horse.

At the ranch-house at Forlorn River
Belding stood alone. He took up the
gun belt from his table and with slow
hands buckled 1t around his waist. He
seemed to feel something familiar and
comfortable and inspiring In the
weight of the big gun against his hip.
He faced the door as If to go out, but
hesitated. and then began slow,
plodding walk up and down the length
of the room. Presently he halted ut
the table, and with reluctant hands he
unbuckled the gun belt and laid II
down,
The action did not have an air of
nnality. and Belding knew ii. He

but Beldlng had remained obdur;:tr.
He refused to have any dealings with

curiosity and suspicion that he saw Il

At daylight next morning a tre

Hurrledly getting into his clothes, he
went to Nell's room to reassure her;
and. telling her to have thought for

A great yellow cloud, like smoke
hung over the river. This appeared
to be at the upper end of Belding's
plot. and close to the river. When he
reached his fence the smoke and dust
were so thick he could scarcely
breathe, and for little while he was
unable to see what had happened
Presently he made out huge hole IN

Lovelight
That Fails
Discusses
Dorothy Die
Why Do Men Fall Out Of Love As Soon As They've
Married The Woman Of Their Choice?-Is
An Eternal Feminine Question

Is counting the hours until he can
come to her.
But she doesn't see why all of the
love making should have stopped
with suddenness that has Jared
her wisdom teeth loose. She doesn't
see why. il her husband couldn't be
pried loose from her hand before
marriage. he doesn't feel like giving
1T squeeze now and then after
marriage. It's the same old hand.
Above all, she can't understand, if
her husband found her society so
fascinating in the days of courtship
that he couldn't get enough of it,
why he doesn't want any of it at
all now. She carries the same con-
versational line now that she did
then.
And, for the life OF her, she can't
understand why he picked her out of
all the women in the world for a
wife If he was going to tire of her
SO easily: why he married her at all
IL he didn't love her enough to enjoy
being with her.
OF course. 1t is conceded that mar
riage to disillusioning to a man, but
1t is no more so than it is to wom-
an. No mere wife ever came up to
mans romantic dream lady, but no
more does any man fulfill the ideal
of young girls fancy.
1t is shock to man to discover
that the angel that he thought he
was marrying is mortal woman
with temper, and a temperament,
and a tongue, and that her COM
plexion is hand made, and most of
her beauty lies in her clothes, and
oh l@ l., L
or manage house, and that she can
be stubborn and stupid as any little
donkey.
And the girl gets a jolt when she
discovers that the strong and noble
being in whose hands she has COM
mitted her fate looks like the Old
Scratch when he has a two days
stubble of beard on his face, and that
ne is fussy about his eating, and
scared to death when-he gets sick
and that he has Yale lock on his
pocketbook, and that she cannot
work him by flattery.
And both discover that marriage
is no picnic, and that for any two
people to live together in reasonable
peace requires courage, and grit, and
self and humor. and
philosophy. and the good sense to
put romantic visions behind them
and make the best of realities.
SO the disillusions of matrimony
are no greater. for man than they
are FOR woman. Indeed. they are
less, because women take more trou-
Die to sugar-coat the domestic pill
Tor their husbands than husbands do
for their wives. Therefore, women
ind no answer to the problem why
men fall out of love more easily
than women do.
Mems own explanation Of the mys-
terry Is that you don't run after a
street car after you have caught it,
and, perhaps. that really is the an
swer to the riddle.
Having once gotten what he wants,
the man settles back in placid enjoy
ment. Perhaps many wife who
thinks that her husband Is tired OF
her and has ceased to love her. be-
cause he makes no sign, is really still
beloved.
She is just the street car he has
caught, and the tragedy of the thing
is that the street car wants to be
always pursued.

Masculine
Apathy After
Marriage
An Eternal Feminine Question

Why does a man who is madly in
love with a woman before marriage
SO often apparently fall out Of love
with her as soon as he Is married
to her? Not all men. of course, find
matrimony a perfect and complete
love cure, but the great majority Of
husbands are SO carping and critical
to their wives, and so indifferent to
them, that to see man remain a
lover to the woman he marries is al
most as rare as beholding hen
teeth.
This is strange, because when a
couple get married the man is usual
ly more in love than the woman is.
She may be influenced in marrying
by many things besides lovely a
desire for a home. by her eagerness
to get away from tryannical parents,
by boredom with an aimless life, by
the fear of being an old maid, and
an ambition to have settled place
in society.
But there is no reason for the man
to marry except love. Marriage to
him means added responsibilities.
personal sacrifices and a curtailment
of liberty. A bachelor is far more
popular in society than married
man is, and the money it takes to
support IaHlly III the InOSt HiOucSt
style enables single man to roll in

One would say, then. that before

he would have to be very certain
that he was desperately and unal-
terably in love with her for keeps.
This does not seem to be the case.
however, and we are continually
called upon to witness the curious
spectacle of men who broke their
necks to get women, and who are
breaking their legs sprinting away
from them now that they have got

And it's the why Of this-Why has
my husband lost interest in me when
he used to be SO infatuated with me?

CHICAGO, May 10.-If any strikes

more in a position to make demands.
The minimum wage scale for shop
