THEIR MARRIED LIFE By Mabel Herbert Urner

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. Helen that afternoon bad read a tlrrlng story of marital infidelity in magazine that specialized on stories of adventure. She believed the narrative -was true, and with feminine credulity, imagined the plot was a true presentation of life. "I believe Warren would like to have me read him the story when he returns from the office tonight?" she remarked .addressing the cat which had cuddled up on a pillow in the corner of the room. Hardly was dinner over, and Warren engrossed with the sporting page of his paper before Helen broached the subject. "Well, I don't care, If you think It will Interest me, read it," was his only comment as he turned a page. Helen took up the magazine and began to read the story: "His name was Robert Marco, and he was a trick shot, so he called himself Captain and appeared in a gorgeous uniform which set off well his manly, military figure. "Strange stories were told about him. It was eaid that he had been held a captive by savages among whom he had learned to shoot. The truth was he had joined a traveling Wild West show as a porter and had gradually advanced to his present prominent position by his rare skill with the Winchester rifle. "He became one of the surest shots with the steadiest hand and the greatest nerve, and very soon it became clear to him that he could make more money travelling alone, so he left the Wild West show and travelled all over the continent. "For many years he had been travelling alone now, earning large salaries and spending very little. He was a rich man with thousands of dollars Invested in stocks and bonds and he might have retired several years before with enough money to live on, but he was not tired yet, though at times he felt rather lonesome. "One day returning from the ring after performing, he discovered in a box a young lady whose appearance attracted him. He stopped and looked at her. She had a beautiful white neck, well formed shoulders and slen

der waist and he immediately knew that her figure was perfect, but so far he had been unable to see her face. As if sho felt his eyes resting on her, she suddenly turned and looked at him. There was a gentle, almost childlike expression in her eyes, her hair was very fair and curly. She smiled at him, revealing a row of perfect teeth and her smile was encouraging without being bold, and full of life and Joy. Captain Marco sat down in the performer's' box and never took his eyes from her. He was not a man to love easily, but he felt immediately that she was the one woman in the world for him. "The next day she occupied the same box. Captain Marco immediately saw her when he came in and when he left he noticed that she gave him a little friendly nod. His love grew to the strength of a passion within a week and he determined to find out who she was. The information he received was very good, as everybody praised her as a charming girt with a spotless reputation, though a little inclined toward frivolity. "The captain made up his mind that this did not matter. He felt himself Btrong enough to manage her and was Introduced to her. Within three weeks they were engaged and a week later they were married. The girl, who had always loved performers, felt proud and happy of her handsome and dashing husband, and parted with her parents without shedding a tear or exhibiting emotion. "The couple went straight to Paris where her husband had an engagement, and before they arrived there che persuaded him to let her appear with him as his assistant in a flattering costume which gave her a chance of showing her splendid figure. Her duty was to hand Captain Marco his rifles and to hold glass balls between her fingers while he shot them to pieces. She was absolutely fearless and the thought that he might hit her never occurred to her. Captain Marco had never missed yet. Lying on his back, taking aim in a mirror, he drove a nail into a plank with his ball, so there was absolutely nothing to risk holding rather large glass balls. The audience, however, felt a growing admiration for this courageous woman and applauded her enthusiastically as soon as she made her appearance. Captain Marco was not far from being jealous of her, for all the flowers she received and the rousing welcome that greeted her entrance, but he controlled himself. He realized that her beauty belonged partly to the audience, who paid their money to see her. Before long she was to belong to him alone. "But gradually the smile, with which she greeted the audience, changed character. It was no longer a polite smile intended for everybody; it had a Bpecial address and was accompanied by a glance toward a certain box. "Captain Marco noticed it and a dreadful suspicion entered his mind. Could she be frivolous enough to play with her own happiness and his? "She was a little more cool, a little more indifferent towards him. She was too fickle to have any feeling of real affection for him. She had fallen in love with the performer, not the man, and had felt attracted by the

free and Independent life he had depicted to her. She had no performer's blood in her veins and did not believe in the existence of morals among those people. She looked upon her husband as a good-natured fool, whom it would be easy to deceive, as long as he was still desparately in love with her. Then a girl baby was born to them, but the change which he had looked for did not come. "Captain Marco still remained silent. He was looking for proofs and found them. It was a young lieutenant without any experience in life, a dashing young fellow with whom

she fell readily in love and who did not hesitate to take advantage of this. It was for his sake that Captain Marco was robbed of his happiness, which he had thought would last forever. "Silent as always, he followed the evolution of their love affair. People in the circus began to whisper and smile at the big powerful man. It was the same old story. The last person to discover anything was the deceived husband. Marcella and her lieutenant grew more and more careless. "The performance this evening was going on as usual. Captain Marco and Marcella were on the stage. "The music stopped and there was a deep silence in the hall. Captain Marco took aim. Marcella stood motionless. A slight click was heard. The gun missed fire. Captain Marco examined the lock carefully, but did not miss an exchange of glances between. Marcella and the young lieutenant in the box. "Again he raised his arm. Marcella felt the blood shooting into her cheeks and then she grew ghastly pale. She had seen a new expression in her husband's eyes. She wanted to scream but her throat was too dry. She wanted to run away, but could not move a muscle, those dreadful eyes kept her as if nailed to the spot. "The audience began to grow restless. Why did this last so long? Now the shot rang out and Marcella fell on her back without a sound. Captain Marco threw himself over her body and stared into her face. Her eyes were closed and blood was' oozing from a small hole in her forehead. He kissed the blood away and re

mained in the same position until the gendarmes led him away. "The trial lasted four months. Then he was acquitted on the ground of accident by the jury, and retired a lonesome man to a cottage among the Swiss mountains with his little daughter." When Helen finished the story, she expected Warren to denounce or praise the reading. He puffed his cigar silently. "What did you think of it?" "I am going to bed, if you care to read that trash, you can stay up all night," was his answer. He left the room slamming the door behind him.

Cedar Springs was struck by a passen

Miller's car we drove to New Paris ana then turned west and started toward Richmond," said Mr. Parker after his wife had been cared for at the hospital. "When we reached that point where the pike branches Mr. Miller by mistake turned the car down

the road leading to the springs.

Friends of ours in a car just ahead signaled that we were on the wrong road so Mr. Miller backed his car to turn around. He backed into some high weeds at the side of the road

and the wheels went over the edge. Immediately the car started to plunge down the hill. It finally toppled over throwing all of us out and directly in its path. "However, the car appeared to vault over us and alighted on its wheels at tne bottom. If this had not happened several of us might have been killed for we would have received the full force of the car's weight as the top was not up. Mr. Miller and myself got up at once uninjured and went to the assistance of the others. "Howard Dill of Richmond, happen

ed to be coming by in his car when the accident occured. Our friends in the other car, Mr. and Mra, W. O. Gross, Mrs. -Wilbur I Miller, : Charles Unger and Miss Anna Clayton, all of Eaton except Mrs. Miller, came back and with the members of Mr. Dill's party gave assistance." Road Delay Trip. Dr. Bevington was the first physician to reach the scene and he decided that all the injured could safely be removed to their homes with the exception of Mrs. Parker, unconscious from the shock she sustained. Her left elbow was also painfully injured. She was hurried to Reid hospital, but did not arrive there until about midnight because of the circuitous route which had to be taken. '

Lafayette, with a spur from Chicago Heights, 111, to Dyer, Ind. The La-

Salle Construction and Supply company was organized to do the work of building the line and four miles of grading was done. Farmers along the route gave the company the right of way and many of them bought stock in the company of Purtelle. He obtained a subscription of 1,000 in Ham

mond for stock, but finally was refused a franchise by the city of Hammond because he failed to deposit $1,000 surety. He was sued by the hotel keeper at Dyer, Ind,-for $600, board bill tor a surveying party. The hotel keeper recovered nothing on the suit. There are about $8,000 in labor claims against Purtelle and his companies as the result of this promotion. In 1911 Purtelle as president of Pur

telle & Co, stocks and bonds, filed a petition in bankruptcy In the, United States District court at ' Chicago on January 16. He gave his assets as $60,989.43, the principal Item being the $50,000 for which' he was suing Keith. Purtelle also mentioned In his assets a cane that he always carried. His liabilities were listed at $707,993.11. Last year on June 4, Purtelle was arrested and jailed at Frankfort, Ind,

on a charge of defrauding two local banks of $L200 worth, of worthless checks. At thatitime he was promoting the Tipton and Frankfort later urban line and was president of the company. He was still out on bail when he went to Chicago and attempted to Interest the city in a scheme to get French capitalists to finance a $130U00,000 subway for Chicago. ,

In 1909 Purtelle was president of Purtelle & Co., stocks and bonds with offices at 222 South LaSalle street, Chicago. The next year his safety deposit box in the Chicago Safety Deposit Co, was forced open by deputy sheriffs and $5,100 was taken to satisfy a judgment which was secured against him by John O.
