She Called Him
“The Brute”
* ____
1 By MORRIS SCHULTZ
(©, 1923, Western Newspaper Ufllon.)
KEMBLE walked out of the special
ist’s office with a feeling of ex
traordinary elation. All his troubles
had suddenly disappeared under the
effect of that unexpected verdict.
He walked out into the sunshine
and took his way homeward. The
brute was thinking of a lot of things
but principally about May. Would
slit, be glad or sorry? He knew Maj
would not sorrow over much If he
were to die. He and May had been
married five years, and those five years
had been the unhapplest portion of his
life.
The brute, May called him, but he
hud never been physically brutal to
her. They had simply failed to agree.
They were the type of people who
ought never to have married. That
was what the trouble was.
They had loved each other In the
beginning, and at first they had striven
so hard to come to some sort of un
derstanding; but when they found that
was Impossible they had ceased to
fine, and had gone on their way In
bland Indifference to each other. Some
times Kemble had wondered whether
May was capable of doving at all. She
was so detached, so like an automa
ton. she cared for nothing outside her
housework. . . .
lie reached his home at last, and
the sight of It struck him queerly, as
if it had been something that he had
never seen before. The furniture
looked strange, and lie watched May
as if she had been a strange woman.
‘‘Did you see the doctor, Howard?”
He nodded.
“What did he say was the matter
with you?”
“Oh, nothing much,” answered The
Brute.
“It isn’t serious?"
“No.”
And he thought for a moment that
a flash of regret passed over her face,
quickly masked by the usual indiffer
ent expression. And lie wondered what
site would do if he were to die. He
would at least leave her comfortably
provided for. Probably she would
marry again very speedily. Some man
would marry her for her money. And
then, probably, May would realize that
he had not been quite such a brute
after all.
Had it been disappointment that he
was going to get well after all? Dur
ing tlie following days the constraint
between them seemed to deepen. Once
or twice Tlie Brute caught sight of
tear stains on May’s face. He was
i»&UTy. for iie was really a soft-heart
ed brute, though May had never real
ized! that. She had never tried to un
derstand him.
* How did it come about that May
►eft that fetter she had been writing
mseilled? She trusted The Brute!
Jmt thought flashed through his mind
Itnd made him proud. She trusted
him not to read the unsealed note ly
ng in her blotting pad when she had
.gone out shopping. She did not think
’jiim a* dishonorable brute, then—simply
,n brute.
And if he read it, it was only be
ause just now he felt an overwlielm
ng drure to know something more of
ilie workings of May's mind. That
"jus: '*"”<1 him in his own as lie drew
tlie letter out of its enclosure.
But tlie reading of It came to The
rVn;;o as a staggering shock. It was,
m fact, a love letter, and written to a
1 man whom Tlie Brute knew very well.
- It was written to Brampton. But it
had never entered his mind that May
.-.id Brampton could possibly he in
love with eaeli other.
“And so, darling," The Brute read,
‘there seems no chance of future hap
'pinass for us. His illness, on which
we built such ltopes, is not a serious
one. He and I will continue to live
together, and quarrel with each oilier—
yop know what a brute he Is—and
we shall grow old and faded, and you
and I can never be anything more to
each other than we are now. It breaks
my heart, dearest, to have to write to
you like this, hut there you are!”
The Brute put the missive carefully
back in Its enclosure and stood for a
while in thought. He felt strangely
happy to think that May had found
some one whom she could love. He
was happy that she had that need of
love. He looked out of the window and
saw tier coming up the street. She
looked attractive, she was still in her
prime; yes, she and Brampton could
be very happy together.
And The Brute rejoiced with all his
heart that he had not told tier, that
he would never tell her that the spe
cialist had given him two months of
life ami then a sudden death.
Revenge Is Sweet.
“Say. Gabe!" chided a companion.
“When that there infernal automobile
tore past, slinging mud all over us, you
Just grinned. What's tiie matter with
you—got religion, or something?”
“Nope!" tvas the reply. “But the
freshet washed out the bridge around
the bend in the rend, and that there
haughty cuss win proh’iy be In the
creek up to his neck by the time we
get there."—Countn Grntlentan (Phil
adelphia).
Began Too Soon.
Woman Friend—No wonder Edith
won’t look at you. It’s your own fault.
You act like a slave—fawning und
cringing before Iter, as if you didn’t
dare to call your soul your own.
Mr. Wormley—Don’t women like
that kind of thing?
Woman Friend- Cm--not until ufter
marriage.

She’ll Never See Forty Again
Said Mrs. Jones, who was discussing
Mrs. Smith with Mrs. Brown.
“She says she’s thirty-five,” said Mrs.
Brown, “but oh, my dear!”
MORAL: It’s not what you
say, but what your face tells.
And no woman ever looked or felt
younger by soaking her hands, steaming
heir face over a washtub, and tiring her
body washing clothes.
Why not.let the laundry do it?—es
pecially when “Rough Dry” service
wasnes everything; irons flat work; fluffs
woolens, hosiery and bath towels smooth,
ready to be dampened and ironed at your
convenience.
