Now the Difficulty

She picked on her husband at
every opportunity. If he was
detained at his club and ar
rived home five minutes late
he found his wife's guests eat
ing without him. Eleanore
nagged him, spent his money
at a hectic pace. encouraged the
attentions of other men and
did nothing whatsoever to help
his peace Of mind.
But the husband stood every
thing without complaint. When
a few of his remaining friends
begged him to leave her, Jack
merely gave them a tired smile.
IT married her." he MUIR
INJURED. And I love her. Moth
ing else matters"
Now comes the part that is
so difficult to understand. After
they had been married about a
year, ana Eleanore had tossed
away a great deal of Jacks
fortune, she came to him one
night and told him she was in
love with another man.
Yes, me hearties, she did it
just as simply as all that. No
fuss. No frills. No feathers.
Just a cold-blooded announce
ment that she was through and
that she wanted a divorce as
soon as possible.
Are you sure you love him?"
asked her husband quietly.
Eleanore said she was quite
sure.
"If that's the case" Jack
stated. there's no use fighting.
You. may have your divorce.
Has the man much money!"
Eleanore said he hadn't.
WELL" Jack went on, "I'll
pay all your expenses. And
I'll turn over a certain sum to
you each week as long as you
live. I think that would only
be fair on my part.
The woman regarded him
seriously. His simple speech af-
fected her greatly. She would
have been made of stone if it
had not.
Why" she asked. ARE you
doing all this for me?"
Her husband never moved.
Because I love you" he told
her evenly, "and because I want
you to be happy. The world
will telF me I'm craZy-but the
world has never worried me.
Good luck to your-dear." {.
All this happened a little
more than two years ago.
Eleanore divorced Jack and
married the other man. Jack
supported her and, very prob
ably, the other man, too. A few
months ago she sued the other
man for divorce. She alleged
too many things to print here.
AS soon as she gets her de-
cree, Jack is going to ask her to
marry him again. His friends
think he should be in strait
jacket. But Jacks explanation
is very simple.
Nothing means very much,
he says, except that 1 love
her."
