Let it suffice that Oliver Osborne deserves his fame as a ladies’ man, Morevoer, he gave me the best defint- tion I have ever heard of what the winner of women's hearts must be. “To be @ man among women,” said Oliver Osborne, “you must be @ man among men.

An atmosphere of dejection, of gloom even, wrapped Oliver Osborne when I went Into Mr, Wood's office. He looked indeed asa fallen Napoleon ought to look, but his Illustrious pro- totype, a captive on the deck of the Bellerophon, was not more splendidly indifferent to his fate. There was Oliver Osborne caught at last, ac- cused of swindling landladies, of de- serting his wife, of winning many other woman besides the tiny Tanzer, but he might have been receiving the freedom of the city for all bis manner betrayed his plight. Twice during our long conversation Oliver showed signs of feeling; once when I inquired his opinion of marriage, and once when 1 asked for his first Impression of Rae Tanzer “Do you believe In marriage?” was my first question to Oliver, Maybe it was not a fair question, for the wom- jan who he says is his one and only wife, had identified him day before yesterday as “that specimen.” “Certainly, I believe in marriage,” Oliver answered at once, “I don’t think any man is happy until he Is married!” “But you-but you'—I stammered @nd paused.

The well shaped lips of Mr. Wax curved downward in a cynical grin. “One wife," he said, grimly, “ls— plenty.” “Too many?" I asked. “Too many if she Is not the right kind,” Oliver answered “What IS the right kind?” quired breathlessly, THE KIND OF A WIFE A MAN) SHOULD HAVE.
