CHAPTER XLIV.
To Andrew Forrester, too, the
situation had grown intolerable.
After the explanation with his wife
he had waited day by day for the
only decision it seemed possible that
she could make. Any other to go
on living under the game roof when
they had come to recognize that they
had ceased to love each other was
in his philosophy a spiritual slavery.
xet the thought that she shrank
with pain from the decisive word
hurt him more than he could have
believed. He had loved her, she had
been part of his life; he could not
remain indifferent to her. That ihe
still hesitated, he ascribed not to
any vestige of affection for him, but
to a timidity before the censorship
of that world whose vassal she had
become. Each day In the mail he
looked eagerly for a letter from her
that her decision had been made.
The suspense wore on him. At times
he feared for his own strength, that
he could be tricked sentimentally
into a belief that he still loved her.
Then there was the other woman
to whom in his loyalty he felt bound.
-She had her right to happiness, too.
For never for one moment had he a
doubt that once Irma knew him free
to act, she too would free herself
from the long horror in which she
had lived. Dellabarre's condition had
become so shockingly apparent to
everyone that no action of hers
could surprise. What wore on him
was that everything in his situation
was horribly false, the assumed at
titude before the world to Amy, the
mask he was forced to wear when
he offered his hand to Monte Brack
en or Rudolph Dellabarre, and last,
the prohibition Irma had placed on
their intimate meetings. Every day
that this masquerade continued it
seemed to him that all of them lost
something of their pride were a lit
tle soiled by ugly contact.
He arrived at Chilton three days
after the yacht race. That njght there
would be the weekly dance at the
yacht club, and he had come down
impatiently, knowing that at least,
he would have a chance of meeting
Irma Dellabarre. An hour after his
arrival Amy had said the words to
him that he had been waiting for,
and yet which struck him cold with
their suddenness. She had chosen
the moment when the porch was
gay with callers at the tea hour, to
leave her guests and signal him.
"Little private consultation with
the head of the house," she said in
laughing explanation. '
They went down the piazza and
turned the corner, where they were
hidden from the chaffing and the
gossip which buzzed behind them.
"I wanted to say to you, Andrew,"
she said, without preliminaries,
"that I have come to your point of
view. I have decided that there is
nothing else to do but to separate
and divorce. That is what you wish,
isn't it?"
He was taken aback by the sud
denness of her announcement. Why
had she chosen such a formal mo
ment for so mortal a thing? To steel
herself against crying out? To sur
round herself with the discipline of
the world her world f I hat must be
it.
She repeated her question, looking
up into his face.
"Yes, that is what I wish," he said
gravely. He felt embarrassed before
her calm. He added awkwardly,
lhank you.
"It is best for both the only
thing. What I have decided to do
I will let you know later."
"When?" he asked gravely.
"Perhaps tomorrow," she said,
hesitating, "and perhaps sooner."
He looked at her, wondering, in
clined to question, restrained by a
feeline of eenerositv.
I have been rather a failure with
you, Andrew," she said hurriedly,
and then stopped, a lump in her
throat.
Don'tl" he said hastily. "That's
all too trivial now. Let's be gener
ous botn ot us now.
"Yes. of course " She turned
away, started to speak, shook her
head; and he, seized with the cold
horror of seeing her tears, said hast-
ily: .
Be careful, Amy they re tney-
're here."
'(Copyright. 1918. by Little. Brown Co.)
"Yes. thank God for that!" I he turned for a stroll on the piazza.
"And it's no use saying anything; Again Dellabarre crossed his path,
e understand." i "That's strange I Why is he here?
When he's in that condition can't
he stay at home?" he thought angri
ly. "Confound him, is he following
me?"
He seated himself on the railing,
crossed his arms and, to convince
himself, watched Dellabarre, who
continued aimlessly to wander back
and forth, avoiding recognition. Fin
ally he perceived Forrester's look,
straightened up, and went off hur
riedly. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)

Claim Out of Court;
Woman Drops 3 Suits
Mr.' and Mrs. Lloyd D. Willis have
dismissed their three suits in dis
trict court and settlement has been
made outside of court on the basis
of a separate maintenance for Mrs.
Willis and the child.
Lloyd Willis is a member of the
Willis Realty company which has
large holdings in the city. Mrs. Wil
lis filed suit against her husband for
separate maintenance on December
21. 1917.
Susequently she filed suit against

company, Isaac H. Willis, Harold
D. Willis, Ralph H. Parks and the
Armstrong Walsh company for an
accounting of the property in which
her husband is interested.
"All the suits are dismissed now,"
said Mrs. Willis, "on the basis of a
separate maintenance for me and my
child and an understanding about the
property."
They will not live together. Mrs.
Willis home is at 1002 South Thirty

"Of course we do."
She stood a moment, her hands
resting on the balustrade, smiling
down at the canterbury-bells which
stretched up their dainty cups to her.
Then she left him and went hum
ming back to her guests. He had no
such power over himself. He turned
and went to his room. He did not
attempt to see her again alone. They
dined in company of others and went
off to the club. It was all distress
ingly tragic, and so needless. He
had not expected to suffer as he did,
nor that she would quiver under it.
Whatever else came, they had been
man and wife, and there had been
moments of unshaken faithl
They dined at the Challoner's and
went over to the Yacht club for the
dance. Amy's composure amazed
him? Whatever her faults, she met
a crisis like a thoroughbred. He had
endured the dinner gloomily, con
scious of his equivocal position, ex
aggerating the mailce he believed
in the eyes of everyone. At the club
he drifted away into the billiard
rooms, where smoke was hazy and
the green tables under the electric
lights looked like green valleys
dropped far below him. The talk was
all of war in this shattering first
week of August, 1914, and in the
stupefaction of the imagination, so
cial lines disappeared. He listened to
a group in the corner nearest him.
who were arguing that a conflict was
inevitable, and from time to time, as
phrases detached themselves he
frowned.
"What do you think?" said a man
next to him, whom he did not know.
There won t be any war, he said
obstinately. "Germany's trying to
bluff France into deserting Russia."
Paper tonight says they ve start
ed through Belgium."
That s only a feeler, too, he said
frowning. "When they find Eng
land's in it too, it'll all sputter out.
The Germans aren't fools enough to
tackle that combination you 11 see"
"Hope you're right," said his
neighbor nervously.
CJf course 1 m right, he assured
himself. "The thing was too incred
ible two-thirds of civilization
drenched in blood!' Never!"
If it did, think what would strike
the stock market," said his neighbor
with a huge sigh.
Forrester had been thinking of
that too. More than once in the past
days he had felt an impulse to sell
out and take his losses. But he was
not a speculator who plays for the
shifting of the wind. He was an in
vestor who had been speculating
an invester who held to one idea ob
stinately. Then, too, the unfolding
drama of his internal life had
obessed him to the exclusion of tv
erV other consideration. He was con'
vinced of the .sanity of his judg
ment when so many others were
swept by hysteria, yet the doubt
that rose shrilly about him was dis
concerting, lhe stakes were heavily
against him if the incredible should
happen. He rose and drifted back in
search of Irma. He jostled some one
as he avoided an outstretched cue,
and turned to apologize. It was Ru
dolph Dellabarre, of all men!
The accidental meeting gave him
an unpleasant sensation, for his na
ture was a frank one; and, coveting
what he did, it was repugnant to
him to face the weak eyes which had
the right to accuse him.
"Beg pardon. How are you?" he
said gruffly, passing hurriedly to
avoid giving his hand.
"Wonder what he'll do?" he
thought, despite himself. Then he
snapped his fingers angrily. What
became of Dellabarre was the one
thing he did not wish to consider.
After all, Dellabarre was a failure,
and must take his punishment.
"We have a right to our happi
ness," he said, thinking of Irma.
"Even for the children's sake,, she
should leave him!"
If only he, the husband, had been
of man's stature and strength, if he
had the sensation of taking her from
an equal
The feeling was so strong that he
could not go from him to her; the
thing was repugnant. He saw Irma,
caught her eye and smiled, and his
face, untrained in dissembling, show
ed tot plainly his happiness. Then

"Besides getting relief from my
twelve years' suffering, I have ac
tually gained twenty-two pounds in
weight, and you may know by that
what I think of Tanlac, said Mrs..
Eleanor Laut of 209 Knoxville Ave.,
Peoria, 111., in a conversation with
the special Tanlac representative at
the Sutliff and Case Drug store, re
cently. v "It's enough to make anyone
shout for joy," she continued. "To
get the wonderful relief Tanlac has
given me. I always suffered from
indigestion, nervousness and raging
headaches after eating, and was de
prived of the pleasure of eating a
real meal for nearly twelve years,
on account of the bad condition of
my stomach. I was forced to live on
soup and the very lightest and most
delicate foods in order to save my
self the most intense sufferin.7, for
if I ate anything heavy, I would al
most die of pain in and about my
stomach. In fact, most everything
I ate would sour right after I had
eaten it and cause me so much mis
ery that I simply had to stop eating
only just enough to keep soul and
body together. Then I bejran going
down hill rapidly and lost weight
until I was almost a living skeleton,
and all my strength seemed to leave
me. I was so weak and nervous I
couldn't do my housework and hard
ly had strength to comb my hair.
! Then after suffering all day I
couldn't get any rest at night. Al
most as soon as I would retire my
head would begin to ache and throb,
I would get awfully nervous, and
night after night, I would lie awake
until one, two, three, and sometimes
four o'clock before closing my eyes
for sleep. So you can imagine how
terrible I felt in the morning with
another day of pain and suffering
before me. I became so discouraged
and despondent over my awful con
dition that I sometimes just prayed
to be taken out of it.
"But thanks to Tanlac, things are
yery different with me now. One
day I noticed in the paper where
someone suffering almost like my
self had been relieved by Tanlac, so
I ordered a bottle, and in a short
time there was a wonderful change
in my feelings. I began to have a
calm, restful feelintr, instead of be
ing nervous and fidgety as I had
been. I soon acquired a wonderful
appetite; so big, in fact, that for
awhile I was afraid to eat all I
craved. But I soon found I could
eat as big a meal as at any time in
my life without it hurting me. It's
no wonder that I feel so thankful
for Tanlac, because when I found
it, I found health and happiness.
My stomach trouble, with all the
pain and distress caused by it is
gone, and I enjoy my meals to the
limit And when I retire at night I
fall right off to sleep and never hear
a sound until morning. I am always
glad of the day that i3 ahead of me,
for life is a pleasure. I really feel
as strong and healthy as when I
was a girl and can't refrain from
telling others what Tanlac has done
for me."
