HerHusband

Widow

By EDMUND B. D'AUVERGNE

Leslie Seeks Out Steele and He Urges Her to 'Keep Secret from Her Husband Any: Inkling of Her First Marriage.

eret, the chance of that - la remote in the extreme.' O'Rourke, : poor fellow, la dead. The , only other witness to oar. marriage Is settled In Canada. Very few people ever taw us together. Besides, who would. connect Mrs. Varney ; with the wife of a cavalry sergeant? Believe me, Mrs. Varney, yon would make a. dreadful mistake In re-

and spoke to him.

CHAPTER X. Leslie drove out of the Jaffa gate, r.aet the ugly railway station, past the time-worn citadel mis-named the Tower of David, toward the hill country of Judea. It seemed to her the saddest of ironies that she should go up t Bethlehem on such an errand. She selected, to the indignation and derision of the men, a damsel of fourteen who spoke a little French taught her, as she proudly explained, by the Franciscan Sisters. The girl's simple explanations, Leslie felt, would jar on her less than the studied fluency of the trained guides. The child took her by the hand with an engaging friendliness and hurried her across the market-place. Before them loomed a black, forbidding pile like a fortress, entered by a very narrow door. This was the Church of the Nativity, reared by the Romans, sixteen hundred years ago, on the very spot as they believed, where the three wise men found the Child they sought. Following her little guide, she descended a short, winding flight, of steps. She found herself in a low cellar which had been originally a cave. In the dim light of the lamps a gilt star could be distinguished behind a grating in a niche in the rock. An inscription proclaimed that this was the actual birthplace of the Redeemer. She came out on to the terrace with

a sigh of relief. With some difficulty she got rid of the Bethlehem girl and stood leaning against the wall, gazing to the eastward. A single ray of sunlight pierced through the cloudy envelope and fell on the mountains of Moab, rising like a rampart beyond the Dead Sea. She had almost forgotten what the world from which she had sprung was like. And now she felt a trapdoor shaking beneath her. She might disappear; her place might know her no more. She had not forgotten her passionate hatred of her former life. It would be like crawling painfully up the side of a well, only to slip back again just as her Angers clutched ut the top. . . . Within the few hours that had elapsed since that fateful meeting in the Dome of the Rock she had had no time to consider it as other than a catastrophe. She had not attempted to analyze her feelings toward the two men involved. Involuntarily she had started on a comparison between them, when she turned and saw Victor about to enter the church. Fortunately he was alone. She sprang toward him with a stifled cry, and laid her hand on his arm. He recognized her with a start of surprise. He paused and looked at her, obviously embarrassed and pained. "I must speak to you," she said. "I came here on purpose." They both turned toward the parapet of the terrace and stood side by side for a few seconds in silence. "I did not intend that we should meet again," he said at length, his eyes fixed ou the distant mountains. "I had to see you again." She broke off and glanced at him timidly and wonderingly. He seemed too much a stranger. There, at all events, in these foreign surroundings she could hardly believe that this was the man who had made love to her in the Hastings gardens, whom she bad married. "I thought you were dead," she said in a husky voice. "I knew you did. Everyone thought so. I was carried off into the desert by the dervishes and kept a prisoner for nearly nine months." "Why did you not let me know you were alive?" He spoke firmly, even sternly, looking straight before him. "Because I

had the sense to , re alize that I -had done you wrong in marrying you. Your letters especially one which I found on my return showed me that. I saw that I had been a cad to take advantage of a young girl's difficulties and passing infatuation "I made inquiries. I heard that you were at least more prosperous and happy than you would have been as my wife. I determined to remain dead to you forever. I made up my mind to never return to England. It is most unfortunate that we should have

met like this." His words showed him to be unaware of any illegality about their marriage. She was glad of that. She looked aside and downward to hide

the light that came into her eyes Then her lips set firmly, her expres

sion hardened. She looked straight before her. "It was very wicked of

you not to have let me know," she said harshly. "I dare say you meant well, but believing me to be your wife you were bound to tell me you were still alive. You might have foreseen that I should marry again?" He appeared puzzled rather ihn.i moved by her reproaches. "'Believing you to have been my wife,' " lie repeated. "Well, weren't you?" She spoke coldly and positively. "You made a false declaration of n.y age in the application for the Her use and in the register itself. I was under age, as you know, and could net be lawfully married without my guardian's consent. Of course," she went on quickly, with all the assurance she could put into her tone, "that vol led the ceremony. I thought all men at

least knew these things." But for all the certainty her words expressed she. shot him a frightened half-questioning glance. "Does Varney know all this?" he asked quietly. "No. The girl I spoke of warned me not to tell him. She said that man would never believe that I had acted Innocently, that I had believed our marriage was binding. He would have thought" Leslie's cheeks crimsoned and she broke off. And as I believ ed you to be dead, it did not cr.i worth while to tell him. I see now how wrong of me it was. Oh, Victor, why didn't you write?" She clasped her small hands and stamped her foot angrily. The man at her side looked up quickly. "Wiiat difference would it have made, since you believed since you knew that our marriage was void ?" He seemed tr be waiting hunerJ" hopefully for her answer. For an instant their eyes met. He had looked like that when he told her he loved her in the Hastings garden. She lowered her long lashes. "Oh, how can- you ask me?" she cried with a despairing gesture. "legally married or not, I regarded my-1 self as your wife. At least I should not have become the wife of another man without telling him that you were alive." He wheeled sharply round as if disappointed at her answer, and stared with a hard, set face at the mountains. "I must tell him now," went on Leslie passionately. "Heavens knows what he will say, what he will think of me. I was mad not to have told him." "You must not dream of telling him now,", said Victor gravely. "Of course I shall tell him. Someone else might someone who hits seen us together in the past He might misunderstand our relations." She blushed again as the phrase at the back of her mind escaped her. "There Is more reason for keeping the secret now than when you thought I was dead," he maintained. "Men are not jealous of dead men they may I e of living. I don't mean to suggest." he said, with a bitter smile, "that Varney has any real reason for jealousy of me, but my existence would make him feel uncomfortable all the same. As to other people betraying our se-

vealing this matter now ' to anyone, most of all to your husband." She winced at the formal style of address. . He went on: "It is extremely unlikely that we shall ever cross each other's path again. To you I remain practically dead." For a moment she buried her face in her hands. His words were meant to convey relief, but they sounded like a knell in her ears. "Oh, how sad it is," she moaned, "that we should meet like this that things should have ended in this way!" He smiled. - "I hope you don't mean that you would rather I were dead,"

ne saia. She turned on him hotly. "How cau you joke at such a moment?" "Why think about it?" he suggested. "It's just an unfortunate accident that we should have met today. You will forget all this and me. We both acted innocently in the matter of the first marriage; as to the second, you thought I was dead. You are happv with Varney, are you npt? I used to think he was a very good sort. And

you have, I suppose, all the things you longed for." "Yes, I am happy. I have my Httls boy." And the smile broke through the gloom on her face, as she had seen the sunlight break through the cloud over the mountain. "And you you are happy, aren't you?" she asked. "You must have had

a dreaeful time with the Derrishea. But you always loosed for that fcort of life. I am glad you have got your cross." "Ifa the only possible life for me. I love the East and I love soldiering, and I have the best: prospects . of advancement. It seems to me that things have turned out for the best for both of ns." .--.v.,- "..- v She ; cried out sharply and s rung round and faced him. "If. as you say. we are t never to meet again, I waiit you to: understand this" , She broke off, her lips parted la surprise. Oswald Varney was strllin toward them, and had already mised his hand to his hat. (To Be Continued.)

Talks With Lovers

Thou shalt not nag.

This has been suggested as the second commandment for the young hus

band, or the husband of longer stand

ing so far as that is concerned. It would also be equally applicable to

the wife. In making for a happy home.

Nagging may take the form of con

stant fault finding, complaining and

whimpering for something unattaina

ble A propensity for detecting flaws In character and actions is the basis

for most of the nagging.

There is nothing that will so soon

breed discontent and a desire to stay

away from home as nagging. Constant fault finding not only ruins the dispo

sition or the nagger but of the nag-

gee.

A determined effort to control nagging tendencies and consideration for the wife will go a long way toward making the home a happy one. Before you married you knew that your husband or wife, as the case may be,

bad peculiarities. Then you could ex

cuse and ' overlook them. You were afraid then to show your true character for fear you might lose the object

or your affections.

After the marriage ceremony you no longer fear such a fate. You relax

your vigilance over, your more offensive characteristics and trouble inevitably follows. That you .-are married and are more to each other than ever

before, is all the more reason, bow-

ever, why you should display even

greater consideration and respect.

Show the same self-control and gallantry after the wedding as before, do not nag and you will, circumstances permitting, enjoy a happy married

life. Parents Do Wrong. Dear Miss Carothers:

Is it not wrong for my parents to try to dictate to me whom I shall

marry? They have selected a man

whom they want me to marry and for

some time have been doing everything

possible to make me do this although

they know my love is elsewhere. B. B. B.

Your parents are making a serious mistake. Days when the father and mother picked the husband and carried on the negotiations are gone.

Woman today is perfectly capable of

choosing her own mate and should resent with all her womanhood any interference. Marriage without love is

a sin. The parents who forces a

child to marry against her will assumes the responsibility of ruining the life of the person in whose hap

piness they claim to be interested. I

am assuming that the man of your choice is the mental and moral equal of the other.

Heat a Menace to Lives of Old Folks

Sickness and Misery Are Caused by Constipation in Hot Weather. People of advancing yeavs should be very careful of their health during the hot months. One has only to follow the mortality record of elderly people as reported in the papers, to realize that these are the hardest months of the year for them. It is most important to the maintenance of health and vigor at this time to avoid constipation, with its accompanying headaches and muscular and blood congestion. This can be best accomplished by the timely use ofsa gentle laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, an ideal remedy that is pleasant to the taste, easy and natural in its action and does not gripe. Its tonic properties build up and strengthen the system. Elderly people should avoid strong physics, cathartics, purgatives, salts and pills as these afford only tempor-

No Longer Drags Through The Day Richmond Carpenter Says Tanlac Has Worked a Great Change in His Health.

Another well known and popular citizen today adds his testimony to that of many local people who have been benefited by taking the celebrated new medicine, Tanlac, that has taken this city by storm.

Mr. George H. Kramer, a prominent

and active member of Local- union, No. 912, Carpenters and Joiners of America, who resides on Route No. 8, Richmond, in talking to the Tanlac man today, said: "Last winter I suffered an unusually severe attack of LaGrippe which left me all torn up and in a broken down condition, and as time passed, I got no better my stomach, liver and kidneys were all out of sorts and I was in a bad way with indigestion. My appetite was gone and the food I did eat, caused me extreme distress. "I read in the Richmond papers how local people, suffering as I did, found relief through taking Tanlac and I

bought a bottle. I am now taking my

second one and I can certainly say that I have been benefited, and I am

recommending the treatment to all of

my friends. My stomach no longer

bothers me and I can eat heartily

without fear of my former distress.

My liver and kidneys are active and normal and my general condition is

noticeably improved. I cannot say too

much for Tanlac."

Get your Tanlac today from any one

of the four Thistlethwaite drug stores.

Don't wait until you are in a halpless

condition.

The demonstration continues at the

Sixth and Main street store, where the

Tanlac Man is meeting the public daily and explaining the remedy. Adv.
