Far from restless, morose—savagely Angry his fate. “What boots it that I have success, o £ : g k g £ | £ it M noney, the respect and fear of men,” | Y he sald to himself, “when I cannot 1ave the love of woman—the one great ‘hing I have wanted all my lite?” Nl “You have not tried,” replied his in- ‘1er self, relentlessly. hl *I cannot,” he responded, savagely. *Nature left some void in my make- 1p, and try as I will, I am tongue-tied e the presence of women.” ' Willlam Beattie, however, realized boroughly the value of wealth, of hard \)smsh. He knew s power over men wnd women, and in his business deal- ngs he never made any mistakes in lealing with women afiy more than he tid with men. ttempted to put himself into personal elations with women that he became ongue-tied and impotent. Finally at thirty he made a great | 'esolve. “I can mever win a woman's love— hat 18 clear,” he said to himself, “And \ woman's love is the only thing in all he world that I want. I have wchieved business means. I have all he money I will ever need—and plenty aore coming. Nothing can stop that. h&¥8 mever failed in a single enter- 7 ise to which I gave my mind and life had bronzed his skin and given nergy. Why not give this same aind and energy to secute what 1 7ant more than all else—a woman's ave. To feel soft arms about my eck, to have languld eyes look into 1ine, to have a clinging, ylelding form 2 my arms. To have children clamor- ag about my knees—for all this I rould work harder, sacrifice more, han I have ever done. In fact I would i {ve all I have acquired and all I hope o acquire.” “Why don’t you do something about t?” inquired his inner self, relent- sesly, “I am going to,” he replied, sharply ) I am going to devote all my energy ind brains hereafter to securing a ~—goman to complete my life. Since I annot win a woman, I will start out ~-t the beginning and rear one for my wn purposes. | will buy a baby girl I nd have her reared and educated for ! he express purpose of becoming my m'- \ " And with this determination ho tarted out. He haunted orphan asy- ams and lyingin hospitals. He ought the poor districts, where chil- “cren are, of necessity, a burdén. It a8 long before he found what he ranted, but eventually he did find it. J08 J am—and the face of the little girl— child of five or six—attracted and hrilled him. Her dark, passionate r¢ er lithe young figure—all gave prom- se of glorious womanhood. hsy Inquiry developed that she was the elous beauty, who had been brought o the lying-in hospital across the way v & big-hearted stranger, with plenty f money, and an alr which bespoke lue blood. He had paid all her ex- enses liberally in advance, and then ‘.ld faded away and was heard of no u].nom. “ After her recovery, the young moth- r, being unable to take care of the hild, had placed it in the orphan asy- "am across the way. Beattie eagerly ought the mother. Though worn by ears of coarsening toil, and still more oarsening associations, she still re- “ained a remnant of a passionate type £ beauty which put Beattie’s nerves n edge and made his pulses bound. fot at all intellectual was Anita Maf- olf, not educated or refined or intel- sctual, but she possessed all the yplendid Latin possibilities of love— nd showed it in every motion. “It she were sixteen instead of thir- y, and fresh instead of being a worn- ut wreek, and young and pliable and ractable, I would marry her today and efy the world.” | He heard her pitiful story—the old | tory of a pretty and voluptuous young | talian girl, a debonair man of the rorld—and a chfid without a name Vho the handsome stranger was who {ashed across her orbit for a brief aoment, and then passed on, she had o sort of conception, except that he 8 a gentleman, and that his dal- lance by the wayside with her was a istinet concession on his part, and a ause for pride on hers Here was the proper combination \:'he girl gave promise of all her moth- s Latin be and it was to ssume she inherited some of the good dood of the father A bargain was quickly struck, and or a comparatively small sum—but ne which exceeded the mother’s wild- | st dream of avarice—little Anita be- ame the ward of Beattie. At once e removed her from the asylum and daced her in most competent hands. It was only when he | It was in St. Anthony's orphan asy- ! yes, her olive skin, her jet-black hair, | . aughter of a poor Italian girl of mar- | The finest schools, the most exclusive surroundings, the most expensive clothes—money without stint, music, art, travel, literature, bright compan- fons, all were hers. | And ever was instilled into her ear | that she was growing up to be the bride of the great and rich Mr. Wil- 'llam Beattie. He made no mistake. He saw her but seldom, and always at his best. He lavished nice things upon her. He surrounded her with clever people, who sung his praises and filled her with wonder that so rare a web of fate should have been spun by the gods for any girl. Finally after school days were over and the trip abroad had been made, she was brought to him like a ripe peach for. the eating. And never had he seen so tempting a sight. His cup of happiness was overflowing. He was now forty, sturdy, rugged and in the lvery prime of his physical and men- tal manhood. He had been very careful that Anita ' had met no other men. That had been 'Lhe one relentless and uncompromis- ! ing rule of her educational days. Now tany untoward incident could occur. | He had his little talk with her, and she acquiesced to his program with a slight blush on her perfect olive cheek, but with no strong tumult in her breast. She had known all about it for years. She was not at all opposed to the program. In fact, she liked it immensely. But there was no pas- sion in the equation—on her part. First and foremost there was to be a great betrothal reception, at which Anita was to be presented to soclety as the future Mrs. William Beattie. The wedding was to follow almost immediately. Beattie proposed to take no chances. But fate has strange and unaccount- able freaks. There drifted into that betrothal reception one Richard Lom- bard, a young mining engineer, only two years out of college, and those two years spent in hard work in Mex- ico. A great, towering, splendid fel- . low was Lombard, with the birth and breeding of a gentleman, and a mag- netic presence—possessed of that | something which attracts women ev- ' erywhere. His two years of outdoor him that touch of magnificent mascu- "linity which nothing but the hand-to- " hand conflict with nature can give. The moment hig blue eyes met the BMack orbs of Anita both knew that something Was happening within them. There was opportunity for but few words, but the eyes spoke the only language worth listening to, and when late in the evening Lombard | came and offered his arm “for a breath of fresh air on the veranda,” she took it as a matter of course, her heart thumping so hard as to make her afraid it would be heard. What happened on the veranda, or on the moon-lit lawn, nobody Knows. Only this is known: On the following morning William Beattie found a note on his breakfast table. It read: “Mr. Beattie: I thank you for all your kindness and your devotion, but 1 have a life to live as well as yeu. When you receive this I will be the wife of Richard Lombard and 500 miles away. I would rather be his wife for one day and llve in a tent with him, than to be mistress of your mansion and your millions for a hun- | dred years. Girls may be won, but | not bought. Forgive and forget me. | Anita."” (Copyright 1014, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)

JOHN F. SHAFROTH DAINTY LITTLE DRESS PARTICULARLY DESIGNED FOR WOMEN OF SLENDER FIGURE. Nothing Better in Summer Evening Frocks Has Been Offered Than This Typically French Confec- tion Described. If you are slender and rather tall you can wear the dress of the sketch and know that it was designed for your particular type, but if you are— well, if you are not, it will certainly never do. It was worn by a young woman to whom it was not at all suited at a recent private dance, but the dress itself was so altogether dainty and y hful that I am sending home a sketch in case any one wishes to copy it for a lovely summer eve- ning frock, writes Lillian E. Young in a letter from Paris to the Washington Star. These many rufiied skirts are ex- tremely modish just now, and are moest becoming to the type that suit, for, naturally, the design lends full- ness to a slight figure and cuts the height as well. In this instance dawn-pink chiffon was used throughout, though if some- thing a little more substantial is pre- ferred the skirt may be of taifeta, and | the bodice of chifon to match. The little bow knots set at the top of each flounce down the left side of the skirt Mrs. John F. Shafroth, wife of the Colorado senator and former governor of that state, is one of thef devoted wives of congressmen who braved the hot summer days to remain in Wash- ington by their husbands' sides until congress finally adjourns. Every year | during the extra session, which seems | to have become a regular thing, the | majority of congressional women leave ; the capital for cooler places, but there are always a few who believe that if their husbands have to endure it they must too, and Mrs. Shafroth is one of these. | | IAAAANAANAANANAAAAASAAT SN | Old Clothes Man Was Rich, Some idea of the large extent of the business ®rried on by the late Bar- nard or “Poco” Bennett, known to sey- eral generations of Harvard Students as a buyer and seller of students’ cast- off clothes and as a money lender, is gained by the inventory of his estate, filed in the Suffolk probate oflice. His personal estate is valued at $65,- 692.65, and his real estate at §57.200. Tda Bennett, the widow, is administra- | trix of the estate. | JOSEPH B. FORAKER i were in azure-biue velvet ribbon, and lent a delightfully quaint touch to the costume. The sleeves were similarly trimmed. Don't get the idea that such a skirt is hard to make. It isn't—but it will require some time and care to arrange the flounces evenly They are simply the straight strips of material (doubled if of chiffon, but single in taffeta) about six to seven inches deep and evenly gathered at the top and attached to a plain foundation skirt underneath This may be of strong net or of china silk or moys- seline. The bodice will need a net inner waist. The chiffon over-part was cut with short kimono sleeves finished with a frill of chiffon, and the open neck, too, had a finishing frill. The girdle was rather broad and topped by an upstanding rutfle of the gkirt material. It tied at one side with a long end and loop caught un- der a natural-looking rose A new photograph of Joseph B.
