All Tired Out

Hundreds More In Rensselaer in the Bame Fright. Tired all the time; Weary and worn out night and day; Back aches; head aches, Your kidneys are probably weakened. You should help them at their work. Let one who knows tell you how. Mrs. Larkin Potts, Clark and Washington sts., Rensselaer, says: “I was weak and nervous and had but little strength or ambition. I rested poorly and was subject to severe headaches and pains across my loins. I could hardly do my housework and I always felt tired and worn-out. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Fendig’s Drug Store, gave me relief at once and before I had used them long, the aches ana pains left. I am grateful to Doan’s Kidney Pills for what they have done for me.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same kind that Mrs. Potts had.

ON TRIAL

Novelized by Charles N. Lurie From the Great Play by Elmer Reizenstein

SYNOPSIS Robert Strickland is on trial for killing Gerald Trask In the latter's library at night. District Attorney Gray declares Strickland killed Trask, with the aid of an accomplice, who escaped, for the sake of SIO,OOO In cash, which Strickland had Just repaid to Trask. The defendant and Trask were the only two who knew the combination to the safe. Important figures in the case are Arbuckle, counsel for the defense, and Glover, who was Trask’s secretary. Strickland would not make defense, but law compels him to do so. Mrs. Strickland disappeared after the shooting. Mrs. Trask, on stand, tells of telephone call made on her husband, on the night of his death, by a woman who would not give her name. Trask returned from Long Branch that night and told of giving by mistake the combination of the safe to Strickland. Mrs. Trask asked him in vain for name of woman who called him up. Glover and Trask discussed Strickland and praised him.

CHAPTER V. A Wife Aroused. TjIIERE was coutempt, express | aud implied, in the manner in which be turned toward the ■—, door. But the- only reply which he vouchsafed to her was ‘-Good night!” delivered with more than the usual emphasis. Now she held him by the vigor of her tone. She would not dismiss the topic thus. Perhaps there had been something in “the other woman’s” voice as she bad demanded speech witli Trask which had aroused the tigress which is latent in every woman scorned, even the meekest. Perhaps it was the contemptuous, scornful manner of Trask himself which roused her. It was not simple jealousy. The time for that had passed years before. Perhaps it was the feeling that now she must insist on her conjugal rights, so long flouted. To bis "good night” she replied: “No! 1 want to know who she is.” Trask’s irritation now broke out openly. His speech was rude as be answered : “What’s the good of ragging me like this? I tell you I don’t know who she is. I suppose it is some business matter.” ../■ . “Nobody would call you up at this time of night on business. Yen know very well it’s not business." “Well, what’s your theory?” And Joan Trask, seeing thal it was hopeless to pursue the former line of questioning, flared out at him with: “Aren’t you ever going to change?” “Am I never going to have a minute’s peace? You’re as jealous as a schoolgirl. You’re forever raising at racket about something. If I look ati a woman or a woman talks to me you’re ready to fly at her throat” Again the wronged wife spoke. “Don’t you think you give me cause, the way you conduct yourself? You seem to forget that you have a wife.” It was the obvious retort, the cheap wit that replies, but does not answer, which prompted him to say: “You never give me a chance to forget it. Every time we’re alone it’s the same thing.” “Then wffiy don’t you treat me as your wife?” His tone was querulous and rising as he said: : j “I don’t see what you’re complaining about. I don’t beat you, do I? You get everything you want. You go where you please and when you please. I allow you more money than you can possibly spend, and your time is all your own. Do you think there are many women who can say the same?” It was the old, old argument addressed to the woman who is “bought with a price.” Almost since the time of Adam men have believed that they could buy women with maintenance, with dress, with jewels, with social position. Always, the real woman, the soul tbat is beyond all price, that can be kept only by affection, genuine love, has eluded them. The busk may be bought; the grain is given free. The woman's soul of Joan Trask, more priceless than any of her diamonds or pearls or rubies, was not to be purchased by the things of which her husband spoke. It had been given to him freely in the beginning. He had dragged it through the mire of his indifference and unfaithfulness, and she had taken it back and cleansed it and nursed it in secret It might yet be his, but he must earn it anew. It was her soul which spoke in the words: “Do you think that’s all I care about? Don’t you suppose marriage means anything to me but spending money and amusing myself? What good is it if I haven’t the companionship of my husband?” The words struck a chord of coarseness hi him. “Companionship of my husband?” It was not in that vein that the women spoke with whom he consorted. He seated himself again. For a moment he stared at her in amazement, then he recovered himself and said blasphemously: “iiy God, are you going to get sentimental?” I ve never known what it meant to be really married,” said Joan Trask sadly. “For six years I hid myself

1 away because T didn’t happen to suit your family.” | “Well, you didn’t lose by it,” said the man to whom money was all or pearly all. “If my father had cut ms off you wouldn’t be living in luxury toj day.” “All your money hasn't brought me happiness. No other woman would have borne what I have for fifteen years. If you had a spark of manhood in you you’d lead a decent life —if not for my sake, then for your children’s.” His manner changed from the ironical and contemptuous to the sarcastic. The mention of children, which brings the light of joy and hope to the eyes of the true father and the gladness of life to his heart, wrought no miracle in the soul of this man, so hardened to all true feeling. With a sneer he replied to his wife, the mother of his children: “Oh, now we’re around to the children again!” “You never consider them. They’ll soon be old enough to understand." It was ii. an aggrieved tone that he responded, as though be had been accused Unjustly: “They’ve got everything they want too They're getting a good education and' a nueral allowance. That’s all they have a right to expect of me.” Oh, shortsighted father! “You’re sending them out into the world with a stigma”— "Oh, stigma be banged! I lead a pretty straight life. You don’t expect me to sit by the fireside twirling my thumbs, do you? I’ve got time for that thirty years from uow." I It was with a sinking heart that * Joan Trask recognized the futility of her arguments and her appeals to her husband. When reasoning fails Year aud self interest will prevail some- | times. She decided to adopt a different course with her sneering, cynical husband. Wifely devotion had failed, appeal to parental love had been in vain. She would try compulsion j Iler voice lost its appealing .'eualify • and took on the tone oi’ , : r u n j manhood, conscious of ns rights, as I she said: • “I won’t stand it any hmger iti get a divorce!” The threat failed of its effect. “Well, go ahead; 1 won't attempt to prevent you," said Trask. ; “No, you’ll be glad, 1 suppose.” “I won’t be sorry, you can wager on ! that.” Again the tone stung her. But this ' time in her reply there was something i which had been absent theretofore—i contempt for the man whose name she ! bore. | “And I’ve been living with you all ■ these years!” she flung at him. But j again her words and tone failed to hit their mark, if indeed they were intend- | ed to rouse him. “Well, why have you?” he asked. { “You know why—to keep up appearances on account of the children—to give them a good name.” “And because I took pretty good care ,of -you.” There was insult in the words and manner, and her indigna- ! tiou, which had mounted steadily, now \ flared out in volcanic anger. She spoke . at length, for some time brooking no j interruption: “You talk as though you had been bribing me to throw away my self respect. I won’t take any more of it. I’ll bring suit against you tomorrow. ; I should have done It years ago. I | did not because I always took your | word. I always deluded myself into the belief tbat you were going to ! change. I’ve waited just thirteen ' years longer than I should. I might have known, after tbat affair at Great Neck”He had been listening to her quietly, making no effort to stem the rising tide of her wrath. At the words

“What’s the use of kicking up a row?”

“Great Neck,” however, he stiffened in his chair, his hands gripped its edge tightly and his face took on an aspect of ugly hardness as he checked her with: “Now, see here!” In her voice there was an added note of sorrow as she went on: i “Oh, I haven’t forgotten it, although it is thirteen years ago. That little Miss Deane, that Innocent child—and to think that I have lived with you after that!” At the beginning of the interchange of words, when Glover left the room,

sne Bad Been seated. As' her feelings mounted she had risen and had moved uneasily about the chamber, as though the spirit that possessed her would not let her rest But now, with the mention of the “Miss Deane,” whose name seemed to stir her so deeply, she seated herself in an armchair and sat there rigid, wkh clinched hands. She did not look at Trask. Whoever Miss Deane had been or was and no matter what emotion the memory of her awakened and stirred In the breast of Joan Trask it did not seem to affect Gerald Trask, save that he now seemed possessed of a wish to have the painful scene over with. Perhaps It was with a desire to reach the end that he now said, “Never mind digging up the past.” “I will ‘dig up the past!’ ” said Mrs. Trask. “I’ll tell the whole story to the world and let It see what manner of man you are and have been.” Was It fear that now possessed the heart of Genild Trask, insensible to other, higher motives? After all, despite his cynical disregard of his wife’s marital rights, she had aided him in maintaining the place In the social world to which he had been born. If, goaded beyond endurance, she laid bare

“For six years I hid myself away.”

to the world the tale of his Infidelities —and worse—she could do irreparable damage to his reputation. Ilad he any friendships which could stand the strain? Could a man such as he was have any real friends? In an Instant, with the incalculable rapidity of thought, his iuind ran over the list of acquaintances. At the end of the list came Strickland. Strickland!

His thoughts swung hack to Joan sitting, scornful and indignant, before him. It was plain to the man of the world that now he had "gone the limit” But little more' was needed to force his wife over the precipice to which their steps had been converging for years. He knew her well enough to realize that, her resolution to divorce him once taken, she would not turn back from the bitter road, whithersoever It led. Not even the thought of the children, so much dearer to her than to him, would deter her, he knew. Plainly he saw that the conjugal affairs of the Trasks had reached a crisis and he must avert it. Ills words were conciliatory. “Look here, Joan, what's the use of kicking up a row? That divorce idea ia all nonsense. Thero’s no reason why we can’t go on together.” “No, I’m through with you,” she said. “I’ve forgiven you a dozen times, and it’s been the same thing over again.” There was no sign of weakening in her tone. lie knew now that he could not afford to argue with her further. It must be as a suppliant he must approach her. The woman who had yielded to his will all these years, had condoned his offenses “for the sake of the children” and for the sake of appearances before the world, revealed herself at last as willing to be the mistress of her own fate. More strongly than before the desirability—nay, the necessity—of conciliating her impressed itself upon him. He pleaded with her, rising from his chair, going over to her and bending over her. “Make this the last time,” he begged. “What do you want me to do?” (TO BE CONTINUED.)
