Underwood was more prolonged
The wreck pnnked painfully and
wished that he had his glasses; ne

He had fetched second plate OF
soup and laid it before the ranch
owner before a word was addressed
to him.
"You didn't work here last sum-

yes, sir"
Underwood nodded and picked up
his spoon. The Wrecw moved off
toward the serving table and got an
other plate of soup. He felt as
though he were treading on air. He
did not believe he was going to mind
waiting on the hog, after all; it was
so much satisfaction to fool him.
The head of the ranch ate his
soup with purposeful speed, pushed
back the plate and began drumming
on the table with the tips of his
thick fingers.

Jerome Underwood's voice trailed
off in a low growl and he continued
to drum with his fingers.
'Well, I wanted to take a shot at
the one in the road and you woul;l

That would have been fine bust

father. He'd have shot every last

wanted to take a shot at him, why
didn't you do it before you climbed

Underwood silenced his son with
a gesture.

UNHAPPY HOMES TRACED

Woman Lawyer in Berlin Says
Many Marriages Fail, Due to
Desire for Change.

BERLIN, December 4.-Many I'M
happy marriages are caused by the
fact that me.i are too fond oe variety.
in the opinion of DR.. Marie Munk. the
first woman in Germany to be admit
ted to the bar.
My experience has been that the
man, from mere desire for change,
will abandon his wife as she becomes
older, and even leave the children to
her, that he may tie up with a
younger woman" she observes.
Man is not the only offender in this
respect, she comedies, as in her law
practice she has come across many
women just as anxious for a change.
Frau DIR. Mink believes, incidentally.
that the German divorce laws are too
stringent, and that mutual consent
to separate should be sufficient cause.
To prevent abuse of the idea, how
ever, such a request should be grant
I'd only after the couple has been
married for at least three years, she
says.

ON FACT
Actual Experience Of Noted
Composer Ground Of Play
To Star in Vienna.

VIENNA, March t.-Richard
Strauss new three-act comic opera,
"IntermezzO," due to be produced
in Vienna next season, IL said to be
based upon a comic incident In the
famous composers life.
According to the story, one day
Strauss vas playing cards with
three friends when he received a
telegram announcing his wife's in
tention to sue for divorce.
Being unconscious Of any guilt,
he Immediately made haste to Ber-
lin to clear the matter up, where
on arrival the news was confined
to him by his wife's lawyer, who
alleged infidelity on Strauss part as
the cause Of the proceedings.
Frau Strauss, 1t appeared, had
opened a letter addressed to her
husband, which showed clearly that
the sender was on intimate terms
with him. Strauss protested to the
lawyer that he did not know any,
one Of the name Of the signatory,
whereupon the legal advisers Of wife
and husband called upon the lady,
a pretty girl, who said her relations
with Strauss could not be more
cordial, and, indeed, she had an
appointment to lunch with him that
afternoon.
The two lawyers thereupon de-
cided to be at the luncheon rem
devious at the appointed hour, and
were just in time to see q man ar
rive and take a seat at tn young
lady's tabl.
When, the man, a musical con-
ductor. was confronted, he at once
confessed to misusing the name of
Strauss and asked the lawyers to
convey his sincerest apologies to
Strauss. who willingly accepted
them, being glad that the whole
affair had been cleared up.
This subject has been used by
Herr Bahr, the nbrettist of the
opera, for the book of "Intermezzo, -
which opens with an ingenious quar-
tette sung by the card players.
