There really is nothing else respertable for them to do. The curious thing that happened was that that which everybody said was not true. It proved that this ideal match waa not Ideal after all. Maybe Harry was so very inferior to her Intellectually that she was compelled to go on and lead her own life in her own way. Maybe Helen was too cold arid sacrificed love to ambition or character or something of that sort. Maybe there were not in the family the two bears so essential to every marital establishment hear and forbear. At any rate they had not been- long married before they began to drift apart. It was natural enough for her to be pushed to the front in the womans clubs and the church societies and in economic organizations. And it was a pity that he did not follow her In all these things very successfully. Of course, It was unfortunate that Harry had not the best and coldest business head and made mistakes and all but lost his patrimony and hers, and it, of course, was very fortunate that her head was accurate and cool and after he had given up and gone to her in despair crying that they were ruined she calmly took the reins and engineered the affair through to a successful Issue. But the world was nut sure about that In the light of subsu-queevents. "Better if he had lost all and gone to work on a salary" some said "than to have the property saved at the expense of domestic happiness." For it was evident as the years increased that they were growing apart very rapidly. After the business episode she scarcely concealed her lack of respect for his judgment This maddened him, but not less than her embracing of all the isms" and ologles" and finespun theories of modern ascet-lsNever demonstrative she came more and more to be sufficient unto herself. The first year of the marriage bad scarcely passed before she became annoyed at any demonstration of affection by her husband later she repelled them, so they were not offered.

The presence of the strychnine in the house is a mystery. The citizens of Saratoga, Wyo , have raised a fund to be used in prosecuting violators of the state fish laws.

Tree-Climbin- g The baby has the power to move independently that wriggling of the toes so often commented upon by mothers. This form of movement is a heritage from those ancestors who, like modern monkeys, would have used the fingers of their hind feet as we do the fingers of our hands. So In any zoological gardens monkeys may be seen hanging on to a bar above by their hands and using a hind foot thaud) to pick up things from the ground. A frequent action with babies is to turn the soles of the feet sideways, opposite to one another, while the lega remain straight. Just this attitude would be assumed by a monkey when climbing a tree or walking on a branch in ordpr to grasp the stem with its hind hands. The Inherited effects of thus gtasp-intree trunks or limbs with the hind hands are often very marked in young babies. The bow legs, which are a feature of Infancy and a matter ot some anxiety to mothers, are no more than the relics of the stage. And the mother need not be frightened about this character any normally healthy baby will grow out of It soon enough. Then If a young baby be held so that its feet touch the ground one may see that the feet are not put flat to the surface; instead, the outer portions of the feet rest on the ground, while the soles of the feet are more or Ires opposed to one another they attitude. have the It has been noticed above that monkeys use their hind paws like hands; their front paws they employ as. Implements by which to suspend their bodies from trees. For such purpose the thumb is not necessary; all that is required Is a kind of grasping hook, which the fingers make efficient The monkeys which by themselves. do most tree climbing have quite lost their thumbs; their front hands are, in, fact, merely grasping hooka. Disuse of the thumb may be observed in other monkeys when they are grasping bars, and it is noticeable in babies when holding sticks or grasping a flower pot. An adult taking hold of a flower pot would put the thumb Inside and make a lever of it. But the baby does not act like an adult; It does not put out its hand to take the flower pot as an adult would do.- Instead, it dabs at the rim of the .flower pot with the palm of Its hand downward, just iu the manner that a monkey dabs at a branch. The manner in which babies hold their hands in a clasping attitude is a result of the ancestral habits. This attitude may be seen In monkeys generally, and in those species which lead the moBt aboreal life it has become a permanent feature, because of the difficulty of straightening the fingers after exertion.

And sympathy Is a dangerous emotion for a beautiful woman to feel for a handsome man. She was destined by her ambitious mamma to be the bride of Herman Skinner, fifty, small-eye- d and president of the Sixteenth National bank. She wept at the very idea. Given this situation there could be but one ending. This 1b best told by a letter from Thornton to his lfe: New York, June 4. Dear Madam: When this reaches you I will be on the ocean outward bound from the shores I shall never see again. Eva La Sharpe goes with me. We will establish ourselves in a modest way in some village in southern Europe, there to find that love which seemed to be denied us in the more conventional life which we leave. I am very sorry to bring upon you and Alice this disgrace and can only say in extenuation that I am sure In your case the blow will be felt only by your pride and not your heart. God knows I loved you dearly, and my love would have kept alive on crumbB of encouragement, but you killed It deliberately and Intentionally and are rearing your daughter, I fear, to break some other man's heart. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world and have arranged our financial affairs in a manner that will meet your approval. Mr. Blrge will call on you on that phase of the matter. As for me, I am going to live again. God, the joy of holding in my arms a woman with a pulsating heart and gladness and sympathy and love in her eyes. She gives up more than I, for nor her never give I can unless name children a her you should find it in your heart to obtain a divorce. That is wholly in your hands. Good-bforever, and God bless and keep you and Alice." Opinion was divided as whether be was all to blame or whether Helen should share a portion of the fault. Everybody agreed, however, that there were no extenuating circumstances regarding Eva La Sharpe.
