One of her sisters had eloped with a coachman; one of her brothers t had married Mary Caroline Washing ton Hotel, a reat-L'i-eat.-(-'randdaiif!ter of a relative of George Washington a marriage which was strongly op-i op-i posed by the Italian hanker because i the bride was a Protestant. The old man determined that. Giulia shouldn't, marry at all. He kept the most vigorous vig-orous watch of all her movements, personally attending her on every possible occasion, lie. gave her everything ev-erything in the world but freedom to meet the opposite sex. ! .Miss Giulia was a lover of horses and dresst.

You will see." The nest day Mrs. Arthur Weruer paid her lirst visit to the shops since her wedding day. Although she had changed her name from that of Giulia Giu-lia Morusini. the change of name made no difference in the credit of the woman to whom her father, the old banker and follower of Garibaldi, had left live million dollars. "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." she whispered with the ecstatic smile of one for whom the honeymoon is shining. True, this giant-like man she had married was taller than most men six. feet two inches in height and with a corresponding girth and weight. True, he had made love In a roar rather than a voice. Admittedly Admit-tedly he demanded whatever he wanted. He did not ask. He didn't even remember to say "Thank you" for services performed and favors rendered. Hut despite these trifles she had married what every woman well, nearly every one wanted, a .splendid creature whom J. M. Barrie characterized charac-terized as "a masterful man." KVory woman nearly every woman, she (lid not wish- to he different wants a master. In her heart, every feminine being seeks a cavo man. Well, she had hitn. Now, what should she do with him? The words of her friend recurred to her. "Tame him?", Certainly Cer-tainly she would and could. Nothing is Impossible o a bride. The bride reached th exclusive department de-partment store; she went Straight to Hie music department. "Show me some music boxes," she said. "I've rend or them. Some made especially for gentlemen." flie blushed. A. cigar box that, played an nrla rrom '11 Trovatore." every time you opened it.? Yes, the wry thing. Were there not ol her articles of like nature?

They had none in mock, but they would order one. Yes, it should be ready within ten days. Bo if. lmp-pened lmp-pened that while the honeymoon mill shone every room in the manHlon was ecpiipped with music. Like any hero of a melodrama, her bridegroom's bride-groom's entrance into u room was accompanied ac-companied by music. fondly she watched and waited foe results. Had they no! "stahllshed a music cure nt Ward's Island for the Insane? Then without doubt the Influence of sweet, sounds would affect for the better the too strong personality for her "caveman." "cave-man." She accompanied her giant to the shops of the best, tailors. When he thought, they had "bought enoueh (luds." she replied: "nearest, we have ju-t begun." To Elmhnrst by every express came boxes containing hue rninient for the ex-pollooman and ex-superlntendenl. ex-superlntendenl. of the estate, who bad evolved Into the slate of husband of one of the richest-, young women In New" York, lie counted his suits until niter the number reached fifty.

Every one knows lh,at they develop the tate and encourage the Intellectual life. The Morosini homo was crowded w-ith works of art. The bride led her lord into tile gal lery tilled with old Italian masters. Books? The library at Eimhurst overflowed wiih the elastics. She tried reading to him from the jKiets. In the midst of a translation of ' Dante's ''Inferno" he got up, yawned, open-faced, aud trumped out of the room. His wife peered out of the curtains of Italian silk, saw him walk up an1 down tho piazza, gazing at the sky. "Love of nature Is refining." So she comforted herself. "We must, take up the study of nsironomy to-gcther." to-gcther." It was a bit disconcerting to hear h whistle, to see her husband go to the barn where, following him In her thousand-dollar evening gown and In diamond-buckled slippers that were ruined by the dew, she found him playing poker with n policeman. She ran sobbing back to the house. That night, they had their llrst quarrel. "ITrop your policemen f rlends," sa Id the tlve-mllllon-dolhir heiress. Rut he responded In cave language. As good wives do, Mrs. Werner tor-gave tor-gave him and tried to forget. "He is so lonesome, poor dear." she reflected. "I will provide Mm society f'f a more elevating type." Sad to state, they were not a success. suc-cess. Rut what was more dispiriting was the fact that her husband manifested more and more of a disposition to take his gallops across the hills overlooking over-looking the Hudson alone. She visited Ilie Burns Iietecllvu Agency and asked llial a man lie detailed de-tailed to learn the secret of her husband's hus-band's solitary rides. She engaged him as an employee on the estate. Her husband disliked him and threatened threat-ened to discharge him. "I think you wdll like him when you know him," was her suave repi. "Why don't, you gel acquainted with hlin, dear. Play poker with him." The Rurns man lost so frequently and good-natureiily to Werner that he wns allowed to remain. From to! oration Werner's feeling grew to liking, lik-ing, lie even asked the ,'imlnblo poker plaer to accompany him on his rldos. They took him.'

Mrs. Werner proved her possession of initiative. Also of subtlety. Also of tact and unbelievable seif-controi. She vanished for a few days from Eimhurst.

"I have engaged lawyers to bring suit to annul our marriage, en the ground that it was never legal. You may go back to the wife from whom it now seems you were never really divorced." she said.
