1t is probable also that chill

VEN ANCE
OF FATE
BY LUCY LOWELL

A LONG time ago there was
"A a newspaper woman who
had the bad judgment to oppose
certain measures that were intro
duced by a group of politicians.
And because she had the columns
of a big newspaper and her own
fixed determination. as weapons,
she succeeded in blocking their
scheme.
But they never forgave her.
The five of them conspired to
crush her, and they almost did it.
Being young and unafraid, the
woman made up her mind to get
even" But when she confided
this fact to a wise old friend OF
hers, this is what he said:
Leave vengeance to fate. The
punishment fate sends is more
certain and more devastating
than any you might invent. 1

periences that if / let my enc.

ishment they deserve. Don't use
up your energy and thought and
health planning revenge. 1t Will
hurt YOU more than it will them.
Use your time and efforts in
winning success for yourself, and
leave vengeance to fate"
So the injured woman took her
friends advice. And in the course
of five years this is what had
happened:
Two of the men had died-one
of drunkenness and the other OF
overeating and nerve exhaustion.
OF the three who survive, one de-
clared bankruptcy and then ran
away with his stenographer, leav-
ing his wife and five children.
One was ousted from his high
political office because Of some
disgraceful behavior and his name
became q by-word in the State.
The proudest OF the three had his
name dragged in the mud by his
daughters conduct after which
his wife committed suicide.
Ten years later diaboical old
woman set out to injure this
same newspaper women. And be-
lieve it or not. after the poor old
creature had done her worst, she
fell down one day, and broke her
leg. And before she was able to
walk, her husband died In an In.
