HARRY loved his Jennie for
IA 40 years. That Of itself
is an extraordinary thing in our
present-day alleged civilization.
A lot of us marry and get d.
vorced in a hurry; a lot of US
marry and get divorced at lei

when one Of the parties to the
obligation gets a cruel deal,
while the other goes on to what
may or may not be happiness;
a lot of us marry and go through
life tied together-with degrees
of feeling ranging from love
such as that of Harry and his
Jennie all the way down to
thorough detestation.
I would have tried to get from
Harry the secret of their abid-
ing love to pass it on to others
who founder along hopefully,
but in a hopeless fashion. They
were always poor, but always ex-
traordinarily happy; that's the
pith of the story.
Harry and Jennie had no chill

an old woman who cared so
deeply for each other that they
remained childlesS because they
could not bear to think of either
one sharing love with another
human being. Sounds selfish,
doesn't it? But such rare love is
entitled to such rare selfish
ness. 1 think Harry would have
had something to tell me about
that-and it would have made
good reading providing I could
have done justice to it.

THERE were almost 40 years

tentment before Jennie became
incurably i'll. Those first days
of sickness as told by Harry; the
days of hope when a cure
seemed guaranteed; the days Of
hope deferred; the days Of
bitter realization that there was
no cure. All this Harry would
have told me and would have
tried once again to write that
great story that has been so
often within my reach, but on
which have yet to make good.
I saw a man once lying in a
field, grievously and terribly
hurt. And as I came by he cried
to me to put him out Of his
misery. I looked at him and
knew that he was already in the
agonieS of death-but that 1t
was in a way Of speaking, a slow
