wife had to work Besides, she had
planned to get him a present for their
NTH anniversary.
She usually got home an hour or so
before she expected her husband and
had dinner we'll on the way when he
came in the door, so he would suspect
nothing about her harmless decep-
ton. She was home one afternoon
when salesman rang her doorbell.
When he had stated his mission, she
was about to close the door when she
looked at him queerly and invited
him in.
The neighbors, OF course, saw the
little tableau, and also saw the hand
some young man drive up a little
earlier the next afternoon and stay
longer. And when for several days
IN a row the two OF them were OBJ
served starting out in the morning in
the young mans highly polished au-
tomoblle and staying away for sew
eral hours. the tongues began to wag
with a vengeance!
HENRY failed utterly to note the
looks OF combined pity and von-
derment accorded to men who are
being unwittingly deceived Even his
familiar crowd on the train kept sed-
ulously apart from any overt men,
ton OF the fact. And 50 Henry was
entirely unsuspecting until the eve
ming when he CHANGED to return home
early -.
He worried and fretted about the
matter. Naturally he had been foolish
TO think that young, vital person like
Jane found it easy to live with mid
dle-aged husband like himself. He
was fair enough to admit the plausi-
bility Of her case but still it hurt!
He was in love with Jane and what
ever she did couldn't change that deep
rooted feeling. All he could do would
be to offer her the best gift he had
her freedom.
Mature reflection decided him upon
his course. He had already bought
her, as an anniversary present, the
emerald dinner ring she had long ago
been fascinated by in a downtown
jewelers. window. He would return
home on the afternoon OF their ami
Versary. The gift would give him an
excuse.
lie CARRIED out his plan to the
letter. Arriving home in mid
afternoon, he gave Jane her ring. He
noticed that she was unnaturally ex-
cited about something. And a halt
hour later the same young man he
had observed that day stopped his car
IN front OF the house and came jaunt-
lily up the walk.
Henry struggled to keep his hands
from trembling as Jane flushed and
introduced them This is Mr.. Hen
derson, Henry" she said. He has lust
delivered your. anniversary present.
And I've learned to drive so can take
you in to the city In the morning."
Henry gulped down big lump in his
throat and felt suddenly foolish.
Thanks, Jane dear" he managed
to get out. He looked out the window
at the shiny sedan, and Rugged Jane,
I guess we'll take a lot of drives to-
gether from now on!'

found any proofs to the contrary, so
he didn't bother to think OF posi-
hility of James being other than she
seemed-a devoted and thoroughly
competent woman and an excellent
wife.
In fact, it had more than once oc-
CURED to him, after hearing the tales
OF some OF the other suburbanite hus-
bands about the connubial impasses
they seemed to encounter periodically
that indeed he must be singularly
fortunate in his choice of help
mate. He could count on his fingers
the times they had had more than
4 few lukewarm words about any dis
putable subject.
Even when he grumbled as hus-
bands are prone to do every once in
while, about the long, slow trip to
the city on the accommodation train
In the morning and back home again
Maybe 1t was because she was the
one who wanted to live so far away
from the city. Anyway, she even
commiserated.
IT WAS nearly their fifth wedding
anniversary when Jane began going
out every afternoon without men,
tioning the fact to Henry. OF course
he was ordinarily uninterested in the
way she put in her time away from
him. He supposed she followed the
ordinary routine of suburban wife
housevork In the mornings, and shop
ping or bridge or club meeting in
the afternoon. And then one after
noon he saw something that started
bin to thinking.
1t so happened that he had inter-

once by closing time The earlier
train saved him 20 minutes, and as
he turned into his street he stopped
In surprise. Jane was being escorted
from shiny sedan to the front door
by rather handsome young man.
Henry watched while the stranger
drove away smiling, and then went
into the house unconcernedly. He
said nothing, but began thinking.
k++ ~
JANE had made happy marriage;
there was no doubt OF that True,
Henry vas IS years older than she
was. but it didn't matter. Having
taken care Of an aging father hadn't
left her much time to get used to
the company of younger people. and
70 when she met Henry at church
social after her fathers death the
disparity OF their ages wasn't espe-
cially noticed by her.
Henry had proved to be an ideal
husband for Jane, and she was glad
He had fairly good job, wasn't quar-
relsome, and had no major faults
that she had been able to discover
She early found that underneath his
calmness there lurked an all abiding
love and affection, and she was warm
In the knowledge. She demanded no
fervid displays Of affection in her
husband. She knew, and that was
enough for Jane.
After nearly five years of this ideal
existence, during which Henry had

PLAN IS APPROVED
FOR PAPER CONCERN
Shareholders of International Co.
Favor Proposed Change
in Capitalization.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 24.-Shareholdlers
of the International Paper g. Power
Co. today voted in favor of a change
in capitalization designed to eliminate
the company's deficit and to permit
resumption of dividend payments.
The company. according to its an
nual report, had a consolidated def
cit of $19,734,Ol977 as of December
81, 1896.
Chief changes under the plan pro-
vided that:
Preferred stockholders cancel rights
to accrued and unpaid dividends and
accept lower dividend rate on their
stocks.
Common stockholders accept q re-
duction of somewhat more than one
half their equity in the company.
In his notice to the shareholders
Richard j. Cullen, president of the
company, said:
THE declaration Of trust under
which the company is organized does
not permit Of payment of dividends
while a deficit exists.
