The Safe Place to Trade THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG WEDNESDAY, MAT, 19, 1990-% of Women----Some I nteresting Features LOVE and by, the Idah MS€Gione Gibson Two Letters. There was a light tap on the door and Hannah brought in two letters. One was the long-delayed letter Charles had spoken of in his telegram before John went away, the other was from John himself. I opened Charles' first. - In it he told me he was sure there was some- thing wrong going on in the' ofl fields. * "I can not understand, dear Kath- jerine,"-I read; 'why it is that greed will make men forget both honesty and honor. I am investigating this {matter very carefully, as you know one must. go slow if one wishes to {accuse a man or a corporation of | fraud. However, I think I have one jor two very good lawyers, and we | have also hired a couple of good de- {tectives who seem to be spry young | fellows and always on the job. The| | other wells on the property are not | | showing up very well, and it is poss- {ible this fraud we are trying to un- {earth may have some effect on them as well. It is a nasty business, Kath- erine, and although I am very glad to {help you in every way I can, I wish | you had not asked me to do this thing | for you, because, it I do not succeed John will aways have a feeling that iI am in some way to blame. And if I do succeed it will perhaps make him | feel as though you might have given {him a chance at it. However, you { may be sure I will do my best. Sin- cerely yours, Charles." The Difference in Letters. | Nothing could better show the dif- | ference betwen two men than their | letters. John's commenced as a mere | matter of form: "My Dear Katherine: It is a good thing I came down here to this god- forsaken place. If I had not, yon would have been cheated out of our rightful share. There is a bunch of crooks here that I am going to put over the road before I get through with it. You see, they bought the pro- perty directly adjoining ours, and in some way that I have not beefihable to fathom they have deflected most of the flow of oil to their own wells. '""We have gone over the entire ground carefully and have found no piping yet.© Of course I shall have to explain to you that our big well is on the very edge of our property, and of course they will not allow us to make any inspection of theirs. think, however, that I have them thoroughly scared by now. Our well is running a little faster now. Last night, however, one of our detectives, in making an investigation, was shot in the arm from an ambush. his assures me more than anything 'else that there is crooked work. It is 4 good think I came down here. Your cousin Charles is altogether too easy, and I think by this time our holdings would be in the hands of the enemy if I had not arrived on the scene. - 1 hope yu are feeling better. I will keep you posted. "Affectionately yours, . JOHN." ¥Nice letter for a woman to receive from her husband," I remarked casually as I folded it and put in the envelope. o a Alice Explains It. "I think it is a nice letter," said Alice seriously, and as I looked at ber in surprise, she said quickly: g "The trouble with you, Katherine, is that yon never have seemed to have learned that a man can only be obsessed with one thing at a time. Just now John has thrown his whole life intp straightening out your af- fairs." "You notice he doesn't mention them as my affairs. He simply thinks of them as our affairs?' "That is the fine point," answered Alice. "If ever any perscn has charge of anything for you and looks on it as something he himself is interested in, to such an extent that he speaks of it as his, you may be sure your in- terest will be wel] taken care of." "But he might at least have said, 'I love you,' mightn't he, or am I silly to want him to say it?" "No, my dear, you are just a wo- man to want him to say it, but als) just a little silly to expect him to say it. It isn't John's way. In two years of marriage to him have you not learned this?" "No, I don't think I have. I am always expecting what he gave me so freely befor¢ marriage. Little con- fidences, little bits of thoughfulness and little gympathetic speeches al- ways. It hardly seems possible to me that a man can change." "Why, my dear, John hasn't changed. As you see him now he has always been. The John who appear- ed to you before marriage was John camouflaged with the beautiful col- ors of a man in love. "But I must leave you now and fix up my packing. I hate to leave you here alone because of your condition, which makes you more or less mor- bid." "Don't mind me, Alice. I shall cer- tainly be all right, and I am going to try to get over my romantic foolish- ness. But oh, I wish John would sometimes write me something like this." And I handed her the.poem of Karl Shepard. - To-morrow--John Is«in Charge. - Told in Twilight (Continued From Page 3) Mrs. George Scott and little son, Kingston, have been at Athens, guests of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 8.
