LOVE PASSES BY, A ROMANCE

Bess. the prettiest girl in the
small town
During the years, Julian accu
mulated a fortune. but Bessie
spent very little. She never COM
planned of her niggardly husband
and there were those who said
that Bessie was even more frugal
than Julian. Strangely enough,
considering the hard work that
fell to her lot, Bessie. continued
to hold on to the beauty that had
been hers.
When Julian died directly after
the twentieth anniversary, friends
gathered in TO console the widow
She accepted their ministrations
in silence and during the funeral
she sat motionless and dry-eyed
while the minister related in de-
tell the good qualities of Julian
Brothers
Poor Bessie. they said,
heart broken, but SO brave. It's
dreadful thing for q woman
who no longer has youth TO be
deprived of her mate. She is des
tined TO a lonely old age. How
terrible that none Of her children
lived?"
The return OF Harry Ambers
while Bessie was still in mourn
ing seemed to Bessie's friends Il
good solution.
He came to call one morning
and found Bessie sorting Julian's
clothes. She gave him her hand
cordially and the CLINT went out
of her eye.
II think knew YOU would
come" she said softly. II had
hoped so anyway"
He was still handsome and

You simply made your decs on.
But, Bessie, you had plenty OF
time to leave him during these
twenty years You knew vas

expected to hear that you had
divorced Julian Brothers.

IVY HEN Bessie Norville was
w young, two men had
w loved her. The town
thought she had made a splendid
decision when she married Ju
liam Brothers. and for the twenty
years following that marriage
Bessie and Julian continued TO
keep their residence in the town.
Harry Ambers went away Be
it said for him that he attended
he wedding just before he left
town. He was like that. Tall.
dark skinned, blue-eycd, he sat
through the ceremony and smiled
a trifle grlmly. but, nevertheless.
he smiled, and many a girlish
head was turned in his direction
to catch an errant glance from
the blue eyes. He would never
settle down. Everybody knew
that. AS soon as his small for
tune was spent, he would come to
a miserable end.
On the other hand, Julian
Brothers would always be A
steady, dependable husband for
