One Woman s Story
BY CAROLYN BEECHER.
CIIAI’TKR CXXX.
The time had come when I must
tell Robert 1 had thought of writ
ing him of my Intention, and tell
ing hint the reason l had derided to
leave him free to follow hla own in
clinations. Hut It aermed cowardly
Then. too. I hesitated to put the
cans# I’hyllls Uwion—upon paper
But Signor Romell's letter w’ould
come any day now. and 1 might have
to leave soon 1 had much to attend
to In connection with the children as
T should be away for about 14 weeks,
during which time Robert could st
range for h permanent separation.
W henever for any reason my mind
wavered the thought of the day wh* n
I found Phyllla Lawaon standing with
her hand" on Robert's breast, a world
of devotion In her eyes, would
strengthen me Or. If Ilf* without
him seemed almost more than I could
fa* e 1 would suddenly remember her
letter and the words. "I*nv« there
never haa been tinMl ! met y*'U,"
would burn and scorch my brain.
But Robert never ahould know
how things hurt me. I was even
frightened lest he Imagine that T
misinterpret the quality of his feel
ing for me. lest he should think 1
still cared. I felt that 1 had en
dured much, but that humiliation 1
would be spared
Secretlv 1 was glad that the reply
front Romell was delayed The
e* I gencles of life, the desire to be
sure I had everything arranged for
the future of mvself and the children
kept me very busy But of this 1
was glad, as It gave me le»a time t*>
think of my troubles.
'Terhapa 1 ought to wait a hit
longer.” I thought as T sat bv my
•window one night, alone as usual
Bruce had not seemed quite as well
of late.
I heard Robert come in. 1 put out
the light, and hastily crept Into he*|
I wondered Idlv why Robert did not
come up. Then drowsily concluded
h« had gone Into the library t*> read
a whll* before coming to bed—as he
often did regardless of the hour
A half hour later T awoke with n
gasp I sat up In bed and listened.
A murmur of voire* reached my ears
Robert was across th» ball talking
to Bruce. What could be the matter’
I was aura something was wrong
T slipped on mv wrapper over mv
gown, and thrusting my feet into my
bedroom slippers, I hurried our In
the hall toward Bruce’s room. At
th» door, allghtlv ajar. I paused
Brurw’s voice arrested my attention.
**lt s Tale, dad.” 1 heard him sav,
a note of decision In hla young voice
"All right, son* Yale It la,” Robert
answered heartily.
It has been quite a Joke some time
between them. One day It would be
Harvard, and Rrure would decorate
his room with Harvard colors, and In
sist on reading all the literature ha
could gather pertaining to Harvard
Perhgps the next day It would he
Pornell. tonight It was Tale, and I
smiled In the darkness ss I thought
Os the happiness he seemed to get
out of planning hla future.
"T wonder which mother would like
heat.” I heard Bruce say after a mo
ment “Once 1 asked her, and she
•aid she thought f ought to go to
Ffarvard because you did. Do you
think so. too dad?”
‘No. son That need make no dif
ference You plan to go Just where
you want to. l*ad will see to the
reat.”
There was a vibrant note in Roh
ert'a voice that In s<»me unexplainable
way frightened me. With a little
shiver 1 quietly made my way back
to bed, and when he came Into the
room a few moments later ! rretend
ed to be asleep
As he undressed T heard him sigh
once or twice, sigh heavily like a
man with some sorrow or grief might

The big thing about this clearance, sirs, is this: Our prices have been around the old low levels all
season. On top of great big regular values you save 200 . Think what that means. Many of these suits
we couldn’t buy on the market today to sell at their regular prices. Vet out they go at 20fr less than
regular.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that this clothing is all from our own stocks (not a dollar’s worth bought
for a sale), that it was made by the leading tailoring institutions of America —that it is hand made, of all
wool materials.
