"I married a second time," said the
man with the tired eyes, "because I
could not live without the love of a

over thirty - five

"When ah died
imy world fell In
Irulna about . me.
I'For a long time I
was so stunned
Iwlth grief that I was hardly eonscioua of
'what I did or what happened to me. I
went through the ordinary affairs of life,
'ate and slept and dressed, and attended
Ito my business like a person In a Mack
dream, and then, as time wore on, little
by little I began to wake up and get my
bearings.
"I found out first that I was horribly
uncomfortable physically. My wife had
Itaken care of my bodily comforts so
Jong that I was as helpless to look out
Tor myself as a baby. I couldn't keep
gup with my clothes.
"But above all else I found that I was
starving for the tenderness, and sym
Wthy, and comprehension of a woman.
There are men's men and women's men.
'There are men who find their only true
companionship among men. They only
t-are for women as either playthings or
jdrudges. They never talk to women ex
cept an trivial matters. When they talk
about the things that really grip their
souls they talk to a man.
"There are other men who find no real
companionship in their own sex. They
sirs shy and reserved .before other men.
and only a woman's touch Is light enough
ko open the secret doors to their souls,
behind which lie hidden their real
thoughts and beliefs and aspirations.
"I was this kind of a man. Most men
tored roe. I cared nothing for the sports
tr the vices In which the majority of
len find their diversion, and which form
the principal toplo of club room conver-
tatlon. I could bo more have talked to
ther man about the things that were
kacred to me than I could have built aa
altar In the public street.
"Those who have never known the Joy
lot a real companionship of man and
I woman in which mind answers to mind,
land sympathy to sympathy, and in which
levery Interest Is in common, seem to
pet along very well without It. They'
develop a stoical self-sufficiency that
makes them equal to their own need
Just as people who live in arid anc
sterile lands develop the ability to exist
on a small amount of food.
"Of what use to struggle when there
was no one to cheer you on or care
whether you sank or swam? What sweet
ness In success If no woman gloried 1.
your victory? Of what avail to toll for
money when there was no woman to
lavish it on? How the sest went out of
everything In life when there was no wife
to tell It to. to talk It ever with, to sym
pathise with your part In It.
"I am no fool. I knew well enough
that the glory and the rapture of such
a love and such a marriage as mine had
been cannot be repeated. I knew that I
could not hope that heaven would send
me a second wife such as my first had
been, and I knew, aadly enough, that
the best of me was burled In my wife's
grave, and that I could not give to an
other woman the love I had given to
her.
"Nevertheless, I determined to marry
again. If you are perishing of thirst you
do not demand to slack It on vintage
champagne. If you are dying of hunger
you grasp at a crust Instead of Insisting
upon feasting on cake.
"A wife would give ma companionship
for my loneliness, and an object In life,
and If the new love could not euro the
ache left by the loss of the old one,, it
would, at least, be a palliation.
"And so that Is why I, who loved
greatly my first wife, and whose flrt
marriage was full of great happiness,
married a second time."

"Yes." said the stranger, almost ka a
whisper.
"There's a woman in this town." Mrs.
Uunsdorf resumed, "who'd be willing to
lie down and let him trsmp on her. No.
I don't mean Celesila. 8he likes him well
enough In her nimby pamby too-busy,
lo-thlnk-of-love kind of a way. 1 mean
another woman with red blood in her
veins. Well, she made all the row.
Crazy jealous she was, I guess. Her love
seemed to turn to hate, and she made
out that he oh, got too fresh with her,
and yelled for help, and her husband
and some friends came, and they was
going to lynch Tommy Barclay, and him
on a ladder with a rope around his neck,
when along she came" .
"The woman?"
"The girl from heaven. And she talked
and pretty soon she got hold of the
woman and made her own up."
"Made her?"
"If you're fool enough to look In her
eyes she can make you do any blame
thing ahe wants you to do. But I've
learned sense. I don't look at her eyes,
and then I'm all right" '
"And then there was no truth In the
rumor that Mr. Barclay got too fresh
with a woman T"
"No truth at all."
The stranger made a small faint sound.
It wasn't a word or a sigh or a murmur,
but It seemed to mean something, for
Mra Ounsdorf stopped abruptly, looked
sharply at her companion and said:
"You seem disappointed."

"Tes, you!
The stranger laughed nervously. They
had halted Just In front of the 'Family
Entrance to a saloon.
"I want to know why you're disap
pointed."
"Why," said the stranger, a little
lamely, "I might be a friend of Mr. Bar
clay's, and I might think that it would
be better for him if be got over bis fancy
for Celeetla. And a fancy for another
person would prove that be had, wouldn't

"Are you a friend of Tommy Bar
clay V
After hesitation, the stranger said,
"Yes."
"So am I." said Mrs, Ounsdorf. "and
that being so, I guess we've got a talk
coming to us. Let's go In here."
A moment later Mrs. Ounsdorf and the
stranger, fating each other across a dirty
tabia in a dirty windowed room that
s mailed of drink, and a bartender with
an evn face had served them with a
horrible mixture of whisky and water.
Mrs. Ounsdorf gulped down a large
mouthful with apparent relish, but for
the stranger one small sip seamed to be
enough.
"We can talk stralghter," said Mra.
Ounsdorf, 1f you'll lift ttat Veil"
The etranger hesitated, then obediently
turn up the veil, and diaoKwed the regu
lar and beautiful features of Mary Black

"1 guess," said Mra. Ounsdorf, after a
moment of admiring scrutiny, "we'll un
swallow the story about your being a re
porter. You're a friend of Tommy Bar
clay and you belong In the same walks of i
ory ever cr&t tfel 1
Ufa that he does."
Mary nodded.
"Well. I'm Mrs. Ounsdorf. I'm the
woman that tried to put him In Dutch."
Mis Blackstone's eyes biased with sud
den interest.
"But you-you don't hate him any
more?"
"Me. I hate him the same you do.
Neither more nor lesa But I'll tell who
we do hate. If you don't know. We don't
hate each other because he's passed us
both us. We're both In the earns boat.
We hate her."
"We have cause to.''
Mra Outisdorf's shapely hand shot
across the table, and Mary Blackatons
ciaspea it for a moment In hers.
"I've told you my name,' aald Mrs
Gunsdorf.
"I am Mary Blackstone."
Oee!" exclaimed Mra. Ounsdorf. "but
I thought she'd be dressed different. How
ao know you're not stringing me again?''
"These are my maid s clothes," said
Mary. "I didn't want to be recognised."
jir. uunraorr still looked a little
aouDtrul. And Mary, smiling a little,
touched the nook of her drees and dis

fect and not much smaller than a cherry.
"I believe you," said Mra Ounsdorf.
"But cover that thing up. Tou don't
want anybody In Bitumen to know you've
got mat."
"Jf I lost It." said Mary, "and the right
person found it, I wouldn't care."
one spoke in a cold, defiant sort of
way, and then fastened her drees once
more over the necklace.
"You think." said Mre. Ounsdorf, "that
If it wasn't for her you'd stand a
chance?
"Don't you feel a little that way, too,
Mrs Ounsdorf? You are wonderfully
good looking, you know, .and Mr. Bar
clay seems to have cast In his lot with

Mrs. Oupsdorf shrugged her shoulders.
"We couldn't stand any less chance
than we do now. And the oftener he sees

"If she really cornea from heaven"
"The quicker ahe goee back the better T'
Mary laughed a cold little laugh.
"I'd not be the one to hold bar back

"Nor I."
