The Diary of A Bachelor

MAY J. The widow said when she
left here that she would not go
alone.
Just what did she mean by that?
T puzzled over the question till I grew
'azed, and then decided to turn the
problem over to Sally Spencer.
If a woman is planning- to run off
with another woman's husband, surely
the wife has a right to itaow it.
The opportunity came this morninu
w hen Manette awoke with a slight fe-
r, and Richards ran across the lawn

i -roved only a trifling ailment, but the
death of BUxabeth has reduced us all
d. state of pitiable cowardice, and
Mrs. Spencer. aSter ministering to the

looked thin axti worn and showed a
fatigue deeper than the merely physl
soul look Hre to her heart and
Sally my dear girl." I whispered,
brace up " .
The day before when I had begged
her to end her torture by sending Be
quest home she had given a laugh
which almost convinced me she was
halng a very comfortable time of it,
aid didn't mind it a bit if her hus
band was in love with another woman.
But this morning, when she tried to
Bmile, her lip quivered and the next
moment she was down on her knees be
side my chair with her face buried in
Manette s areas, sobbing as if her heart
would break.
A Gsod Cry.
"5y" z sed, "don't, please
don't!"
I do not recall what I said to her in
the next- half hour, but my words of
omfort were poured Into deaf ears, and
Vnp continued to sob until physically
exhausted.
, "Whatshall I do, Max?" she cried at
last. "What shall I do? I thought I
was strong enough to play the game
to the end. but I am not When I st-e
he wa he looks at her. Max, I feel
a if I would go mad. And I have
bun his wife for 20 years' And. oh.
Max. no one knows how hard I have
tried to be the sort of a wife a man
like him wants."
''And vou have succeeded." I argued
"Jack knows that. Why. he doesn't
loe this woman!"
To which she replied with sobs that
if I had seen the way he looked at her
last night I would think he loved her.
I thought best to be frank with her
and told her. after repeated- assertions
hat Jack didn't love Mrs. firown, but
was plaving the fool, what the widow
had said to me about not going home
alone
It has been argued that women Should
not have suffrage because thev cannot
pro to war. I would like to know why
the can't go to war. The moment I
told this to Sally Spencer and she got
the whiff of an approaching conflict
she stopped weeping, dried her eyes and
braced up. .
She was readv far battle Tt wax I"h
long- suspense of weary waiting that J
naa inea ner sow. sne is rignt," she
almost laughed when she said it; "she
wilt not go alone."
"Would it make it easier for you If I
went with her?" I asked.
Heady to Pfght.
"She would drag you to the altar."
Sallv answered; "she can't drag Jack
there."
"But she can drag hiss Into the
mire "
"She will not drag him Into the mire.
and " a trifle bitterly, "what if she aid'
Isn't It every wife's duty when her hus
band is dragged into the mire by some
other woman to spend the rest -of her
days in helping to, rid him of the
stains'"
Somehow T disliked Sally's assertion
that the widow would drag me to the
altar.
'Xo woman." T contended a little
hotlvi "could marry me against my
will.'
But when I said it I knew I didn't
say the truth. There never was a man
some woman couldn't drag to the altar.
and there are mighty few men who get
there without being dragged.
"You have been a bachelor so long."
she -went on. "that you are growing
too sure of yourself. A man escapes
easily between, the ages of 30 and 45
It is after he has passed that age that
he becomes proud pf his skill in dodg
ing the noose and grows careless. If
we women can't catch them under 30 It
is bett to go after them when they
are 50 "
"You don't realise. Max. what a catch
vou are. A millionaire, a beautiful
home, a generous disposition, 'good
looking, cultured and kind. I'd go aftr
vou mvself If I were not married to
Jack Spencer."

The laughing look in her eyes sud
denly died away. A quick Mush man
tled her cheeks, and she looked at me
in an addlv speculative way t had never
dreamed of. I felt strangely and unac
countably embarrassed, and why I
should feel embarrassed when with n.
woman I had always regarded as I
would a favorite sister. I could neither
define nor set aside.
She walked to the window and stood
there looking out. not more than a mo
ment Diarv. but it seemed an hour.
Turnrnz- quicklv. she said, avoiding mv
eves. "Manette is so much better, I will
go home"
"Sally" T began.
She had reached the door. I could not
turn my head without disturbing the
child, bnt I knew she was standing
there "Dear girl." I went on, but I got
no further.
She turned quickly and ran across
the" room to me. The next moment she
wns bending over the back of mv chair.

ing the timid spec
tator with dread
apprehension, for
it is the custom of
this relentless
beast to trample
all under foot who
are so unfortunate
as to get in its
way.

determined. Certainly it takes up
twice as much space as the biggest
Jumbo, and this has led to the belief
that it Js the bulkiest and heftiest
of all known animals. Also the opin
ion is held by those who have studied
this unpleasant creature that it has as
many feet as a centipede, and that
each foot is the size of a wardrobe
trunk, for it would obviously be im
possible for anything with only two
feet of ordinary size to step all over
you and do the damage that the Hog
fect of ordinary size to step all over
does.
Two other curious peculiarities of
the Hog are that it has irum action
elbow joints tnat act
as flails and beat
down all before it
as the Hog bores
its way through a
crowd, and that it
has the faculty of
elongating its iegrs
to any extent that
1s necessary to trip
people up. It can
with equal facility
spread them across
a car aisle or half
way over a draw

whichever is hand

wary victim.
Concerning the
habits of the Hog
very little isknown.

as no one has ever been suf
ficiently brave to voluntarilv get
close enough to one to study its
ways. Its most obvious character
istics appear to be a voraciousap
pfttite, which it satisfies by means of
shoveling food down its throat with a
knife, and its ability to get both fore
feet in the dough trough and keep
them there.
The male Hog invariably has a cir-"
cular protuberance, resembling a hat.
on its head, which it never takes off
in the presence of ladies, and it car

when entering pub

sits on the the back
of its neck, thus
saving the price of

wiping its muddy
feet on the dresses
of the women who

Another notable
characteristic of a
male Hog is its
loud and strident
voice, which it uses
-with great effect in
theaters and res
taurants, thereby
calling .attention to
ieseif and spoiling
the pleasure of every one within ear

voracious beast may be seen at its

These all have mer-
jib j-ct.u.i i .c
breed, and are
worthy rivals of the
Subway Hog.
There are also
many Lady Hogs,
'who are even more
to be feaced than
the Men Hogs. In
deed, it was con
cerning the Lady
Hog that Kipling
nenned his famous
line, "The female ef

cause the Ladj Hok

stick out like daggers about her head
and carries knobby bundles that she
places beside her on the seat of the
cars and trains she infests.
The Lady Hog in her most savage
state is found at the boarding house
table and the bargain counter, though
another favorite haunt of hers is the
theater aisle, which she blocks up by
stopping to hold a long conversation
with a chance met friend, while the
commuters behind her howl "with baf
fled rage as they miss their last train
home. . .
There are a great many successful
breeders of Hogs in this country, the
largrest of them being the Interbor

pose, teaching us patience and hu

' created in vain.

would rather than not spend all my
week ends in the country. George, be
cause the air is so restful up there, but
I guess Wilfred don't want to go back
no more to the town where we was.

brother had an idea that he could ail

you cam from the less they eare.

"I don't blame them." said the Hejd
Barber. "I don't see why a man shou.d
figure himself a favorite Just because
he lives in a little New York flat
and rides up and down in the subway.
How 1s that going to make a man wise?
Most of the fellows that was born in
the shadow of the Brooklyn bridge
the kind that comes in .here some
times to get shaved ain't got much
idea of the great country they are liv

they don'n go out to the wonderful Pa

get bunked. They pay a guide a lot
of dough to show them some place
where an English king had his nephews
choke i. to death in a tower, and then
they come back and tell about their
travels." .
"I hope you ain't doing a monolog.
George," said the Manicure Lady. -I
was trying to tell you something about
this week end party, if you are enough
of a gent to listen. Well, Wilfred and
me retched the town all right, and the
minute we got to the hotel, and were

the t.ibl pcor brother pulls the very
phrase that i asked him not to. This
is fair, he says to the company, but

right off that he bad made a bonehead

doesn't get wise, not Wilfred. "The

right on, is t cause Manhattan is the

haps some of you people know. says
poor brother, 'and the brains of the
country, in literature all flock to New

like it up here, but being a writer I
have to be iu the heart of the literary
world, little ola New York.'

that him and me would be good friends,
