Edward Martindale was a gentleman
of leisure." He spent much of his tlma
' at his club or hisvlubs. for he
to a uurnber of them. the rest either in
shooting or fishing or racing horses or
some out of door amusement Those
who blamed him for wasting his time
could not charge him with 1
>r effeminacy. He volunteered for the
Spanish American war and came out
with an excellent record. But the war
over, he returned to V s shootiuj,. fish
inc horse racing and the like.
Martindale had married a very love
lv cirl who had borne hiui three chil
dren. So far as being true to his wife
and children was concerned, he was a
model husband, but he would not stay
lt home. His wife was obliged to
pass most of her time alone with her
children, while her husband was gad
ling about. This troubled her greatly.
-Some day." she said to him omi
nous*. -you may have cause to re
irret vour neglect of me. 1 am very
lonelv. and I may be tempted to en
,-ourIge some otw of the men who
would be glad to be my cavalier.
"Wouldn't blame you a bit. my uear.
if vou did." .
V determined look came over tb'
,oor woman's face that denoted a pu. ?
,o?e And a purpose was carried out.
one afternoon Martindale came home
nad found a ccrtaln man about town.
VrchibaUl Griffith, sitting in the li
brary with his wife. The husband
s-eQ"ted the Intruder cordially, then
went upstairs, where he was soon
heard romping with the children. The
wife, who had hoped for some expres
sion of Jer.lov.sy. sighed. Her cavalier
nou took hi; leave, but at the door re
?o.veJ a pressure of the hand and an
invitation to come again soon.
K-otu that tl~e f >.-\vard for a season
lir 'th was a constant at:endant upon
Mrs Mar.in'aie, always receiving an
it lea -t o.tward welcome from the
Uuslacd. Mrs. Martindale accepted all
Griffith's invitations, but her conduct
excited uo blame. Everybody consid
e-el that her husband was getting no
more than he des?rvei. and all had im
nl'clt cor.f.i'.ence In the wife.
One morning Mrs. Martindale recelv
e ' a note from Griffith announcing that
he had suddenly been called away and
?; ight not see her again for some time.
The n jte was not unwelcome, for she
had sickened of the role she was play
ing and didn't quite know how to end
it \s her husbaud had made uo com
ment on her cavalier's attentions so he
refrained from asking what had be
come of him. Martindale was as much
away from home as before, and the
wife was obliged to admit to herself
that her plan of making her husband
lea lous had signally failed.
' N-0w. Mrs. Martindale was a deter
I mined woman and vowed that she
i would force her husband to show some
I concern for her conduct if she had to
put herself at fault forever iu his eyes.
One night when Martindale was play
ing a game of bridge at his club a tele
phone message came from his home
that his wife was very III and he must
come home at onee. ' He delayed so
long that another message came saying
that his wife was dying and wished to
see him before It would be too late.
He finished the game and went home.
Mrs. Martindale was in tied. She
was gasping, and her face was livid.
A physician stood by. evidently at a
loss to know what to do for her As
soon as she had regained her voice she
directed that i-vet-v one should leave
| the room except her hnshand. Then
she called him el..se to her and spoke
with apparent effort.
"Ned. 1 have a confession to make. ?
Vo'i know Archie Griffith'; Well, In |
I hat affair 1 wronged y?>u
j "How":"
"Don't force mo to speak the word."
"Criminally?"
The wile groaned. but said nothing. '
"And you wanted me to know ihi?
efore you died?"
"Yes." came faintly from tbe stride
u woman.
"Well. Bess. I'm sorry you hadn't
I ;'.wn a more convenient t::no to tell
i .e. I'm behind la a game of 'bridge.'
| id I must u-o right back. Ta-ta."
i The bedclothes were thrown off with
jprk. and the sick womau stood on
| ae floor.
[ "This is too much." she cried. "Yoj
j ir- so little for nie that even that
, U:< I; can alone hoU us and our poor
I ear little ones together is of no mo
I .wi!t to yon."
"Bess." said the imperturbable huu
?and. "you're the biggest liar in Amer
ca. Do you remember the new butlct
rfco came soon after Griffith began his
.Mentions'* Well. 1 put him In to
vatch you. He snw your cavalier at
jmpt to take liberties with you the
ii-ht before he left town, and you ni
?l!ed him witli indignation. The nest
ay I gave Griffith the choice of pistols
j r departure, and he chose departure "
"Oh. Ned. did you really care that
nuch for me?"
'?I certainly did. sweetheart, and
more. You have done your best to
make me show my love tor you, and i
j shall put you to no further trouble. I
S shall give up amusements and frotr
j iiis time forward devote myself tc
| business, to you and the children. But
| one who has been so near death needi
j a bracer."
j Touching a bell, the butler appeared
I His master directed him to dismiss tb?
doctor and to bring up a supper and a J
bottle of wine.
Martindale kept his word and has I
since been a model husband In every
respect. He says that any woman who j
loves her husband well enough to con- j
fess a fault she hasn't committed de- I
! serves to be treated by that husband j
j with the m?st loving consideration. He
| nas resigned from his clubs and spend* |
i ?.s erenings at home.

( A Lucky Initial Letter

Formerly marriages In France wer?

gifts, trousseau, etc., were all marked
by the inteciwlued Initial letters 01 thf
contracting families.
"Madame." said ? young French offi

Mme. Blanquet was striding bach

daughter, an attractive girl of twenty,
sat lu a wicker chair, evidently not

er's emotion.
??I regret." added the lieutenant,
bowing politely, "to And inadame In
trouble. May 1 ask the cause?"
"Cause enough, monsieur. My daugh
ter was to have beeu married tomor
row at noon, and this morning we re
ceive a letter from the groom expect
ant saying that In view of the danger*
threatening France we have no bus!
ness to be marrying and making metrj
and that the wedding roust be put off.
??Has mademoiselle no brother to re
sent tills insult? .
"I do uot consider It that, replied
the ladv. "It is simply uufortuuate.
There Is bad luck in a deferred wed
ding. Besides. M. Teterouge fulfills my
requirements for a son-iu-law. He has
a hundred thousand francs."
"Do you mean to say that you would
give your daughter to such a man after
such treatment?"
"What can I do? The sliver Is all
marked with a T.' The table I nen
is marked with a T.' M) daughter s I

"His hair Is carrot color." put In ms

"Silence!" snapped her mother.
?'Well, madame." said the lieutenant
after a pause. "1 am sorry for your dls
appointment, but 1 congratulate made
moiselle on escaping, If she has per
manently escaped, being united with a
man of such a plebeian name. But can
you accommodate General Glguoux.
"We can accommodate any 01
France's defenders."
The lieutenant rode away, giving and
receiving a glauee from mademoiselle
and? soldiers are In love what they j
are in war-audaciously threw a kiss, i
In an hour Geueral Glguoux rode up, ,
with his staff. After being received by :
madame he said to her:
"My aid tells me that you were t? .
have a wedding here tomorrow."
"Yes general."
"And that you have been badly treat
ed."
??1 don't say that."
?*l say it. and when 1 say a thing
those about me are accustomed to re
spect it. You have beeu insulted. The
fellow should be called to account
Now I would like something to eat,
madame, if you will be so good."
The next morning at 10 o'clock the
general, who was to leave after mid
day, said to his hostess: ,
"Madame, you have treated us wttb ?
great consideration and kindness. We ,
owe you a return. Suppose I nnd a
young man on my staff of better fam- !
ily and better fortune than the man,
you have in view for your daughter.)
How would that suit you?" i
"Ah, general, there Is one difficulty I
that cannot be overcome. All the silver
plate, the table linen, my daughter s
lingerie, are marked with the Initial
letter. Some have oeen embroidered at
an expense of 100 francs each."
"What is the initial letter?"
"T. The groom expectant's name Is
Teterouge."
"Teterouge! Has bt? red hair.
-Yellow, general." I
4,Let me see." mused the general,
mentally running down a list of the
names of his staff officers. "1 have It.
There !s a fine fellow on my staff
whose Initial totter is on your daugh
ter's wedding outfit. He Is Lieutenant
de la Tour, of noble family and an in
come of 100.000 fraucs."
"Oh general. M. Teterouge Is bour
geois and has only that much in capi
tal."
"Hey: De la Tour:-" called the gen
eral.
"Yes. general." And the aid who
had eugaged the quarters stepped Id
and saluted.
"I have a duty for you which I can
not order you to perform. You must
volunteer."
"Yes. general."
"I find It Is as you told me. There la
need of a groom here. We are under
great obligations to these good people.
Would you help us out In repaying the
debt by becoming the groom?"
"Have 1 ever failed to volunteer
when critical work was to be done?"
"No."
"Then 1 will not fail you now. I am
ready, general."
"What hour Is It?" taking out his
watch. "We have just time. The wed- j
ding was set for 12 noon, and the j
Tenth division is never late.
"Madame," he added. "I am ready to
supply you with a son-in-law."
"Lu'.-llle!" called the mother. When j
her daughter came from the room ad- 1
joining the former said to her:
"It has been arranged that"?
"Yes, yes; I have overheard. I volun- '
tevr the same as Lieutenant de la
Tour."
-Orderly," cried the general, "bring a
chaplain immediately."
At 12 o'clock the couple were united,
and at 12:30 the general and his staff,
including the groom, roce away.
"Thanks, general," said De la Tour.
"Yen played your part well."
"How lucky," said madame, "that h!a
name began with the letter T!"
