When Conflict Means Tragedy
THE conflict between love and duty
has for generations been a fruitful
subject for all manner of discussion, and
has formed tho plot of many and many
ft novel. It has, also, unfortunately,
formed tho reason and source of many a.
police court scene.
Quito recently a case of this sort came
before the Farts Law Courts and formed
yet another of thoso tense, dramatis
situations with which tho .Parisian public
Is eo well acquainted. Conflict between
military duties and home life drove a cer
tain Captain Herall, of tho cuirassiers,
to shoot his wife, and rocontly a court
martial was appointed to try him on a.
charge of wife murder.
Tho caso has furnished Paris with a.
topic of conversation and speculation only
second to the war Itself for months past,
for It was as far back as last December
that the tragedy occurred.
It appeared that tho sclilsbnesB of his
wife. In refusing to loturn to Paris ana
In Insisting on hindering his military
work at Compiegno was a great grief to
the captain. In tho court sccno ho de
scribed how neither firmness, persuasion
nor affection had any effect on his wife,
who all along had been a stumbling block
to his military career. He had even sent
in his papers once, but his wlfo Insisted
that ho reconsider his decision, since sho
was loth to leavo tho military circles,
where sho JiadeJways had such tin or-.
callent onff entortolnlneHttme.
All fashlonoblo Paris flocked to tW
court to listen to tho progress of the
case. Tho excitement was tense when
Captain Herall doscribed the last pas
sionate scene between his wife and him
self, when, after repeated appeals to
her patriotism, loyalty and affection she
still refused to leave, thus ruining his
military career. Losing control of him
self, ho rushed from tho room, roturned
again with a revolver and shot hU wife.
Tho extraordinary thing about tha
whole caso was that bbth the captain
and his wlfo wcro very much In lovo
with each other, or rather, had been so up
to the last final act In the tragedy. At
the very end, her solflsh and unreason
able attitude had doubtless estranged his
affections altogether. Certainly it had
rendered him temporarily Insane. While
It Is Impossible to entirely defend his wild
and terrible action, at the same time it
must bo admitted that his wife was very
largely responsible for the same. And
so the court-martial acquitted him, to the
applause of the fashionable Parisian audi"
enco In tho courtroom.
Tho woman who In any way seeks to
hinder her husband's career certainly
hasn't got tho right sort of affection for
that husband. Sho may Imagine that sho
Is in lovo with him, but as a matter of
fact she is much moro In lovo with her
self. And sooner of later tlicro Is going
to bo dreadful trouble For ho will
reallzo that sho Is Infinitely worso than
tho proverbial millstone around his neck,
and ho will grow, not merely and nega
tively Indifferent, but positively to hato
and detest his wife. Then will como a
tragedy and tho end of everything.
Lovo la of man's life a thins npart.
TIs woman's whole existence.
Whether it really Is true that "'tis
woman's whole existence" or not, cer
tainly It Is obvious that a man's career
is quite as Important as his lovo arfalrs;
In fact, to many men, tho career Is con
siderably more Important than anything
else. Particularly Is this' truo In tho army.
For duty to one's country Is tho first
essential, and tho man who shirks that
duty la a moral coward.
The woman who is truly wiso will real
ize that where duty to one's country calls,
lovo must always come second. For
patriotism Is altruism, and tho highest
lore tnust always be altruistic
The Eeturn
Vho bright sea washed beneath her feet,
As it had dono of yore,
The well-remembered odor sweet,
Camo through her opening door.
Again tho grass his ripened head
Bowed whero her raiment swept.
Again tho fog-boll told of dread.
And all the landscape wept.
Again besldo tho woodland bars
Sho found tho wilding rose.
With petals flno and heart of stars
The flower our childhood knows.
And there, before that blossom small.
By Its young face beguiled,
Tho woman saw her burden fail,
And stood a llttlo child.
Sho knew no moro tho weight of love.
No more the weight of grief,
So could tho slmplo wild roso move,
And bring her heart relief.
t
Sho asked not where her lovo was gone.
Nor whero her grief was fled,
But stood as at the great whtto throne.
Unmindful of things dead.

Miranda's Whims
It was afternoon on ono of the lsst
few hot days of summer. Through tho
open windows came glimpses of green
wood, bespeaking a delicious coolness, and
the ripple of brooks, but in tho school
room tho air was Undeniably close. Tho
scratch of a pencil, the shuffling of Im
patient llttlo feet, the drone of a lazy boe,
all seemed to intensify tho Impression of
heat, and tho young schoolmaster stirred
restlessly.
It had meant n great deal to Peter
Raymond, securing the village school at
Wlmberly. But ho had not found his task
an easy ono. Ills eyes, wandering over
tho rows of bent heads beforo him, en
countered tho glanco of a girl seated near
tho door. Tho girl, ono of tho older schol
ars, with a toss of hnr curls, returned
to her book, and tho troubla In tho school
master's face deepened. Hero was tho
crux of tho situation. If ho could win Mi
randa Hemming to his sde, tho remainder
of the pupils would follow easily cnouch.
"First clasa In ernmmnr." h snM.
Miranda, with several other girls, rang
ing from sixteen to eighteen, camo slow
ly forward. It was rather a trying rocl
tatlon. Most of the girls stumblud.
Miranda failed Utterly.
"You may return to your seats," ho
said. "Miss Miranda, I shall expect you
to remain after school until that lesson
is recited perfectly."
"What!' cried tho girl Involuntarily
sho fell back a step, hardly believing her
own cars. That ntly ono should daro ad
dress her, Miranda Hemming, In such
fashion. Raymond's expression did not
change.
"You heard what 1 snld" ho returned
quietly "It should not tako long."
When tho others arose, Miranda also
sprang to her feet, then something In
the teacher's expression caused her to
sink back in hor scat, tingling and
abashed. It took an unusually long time
for tho pupils to dlsporso that day, but
at last they wore all gone.
"Tou need not think that I shall study
that lesson," slio declared with sharp
emphasis. Raymond nodded.
"As you ploase," ho answered. "Only
hero wo both stay until you do."
"And I'm not to have any sunner?
Incredulously.
"Not until you Icnrn that lesson."
"But " burst out Miranda furiously.
"Tako your own time," he said pleas
antly. "I'm I'm hungry," sho wheedled. For
an instant Raymond wavered. This new
sweotness was strango and alluring. But
beforo ho could speak tho door was flung
opon and Tom Corruthers appeared on
tho threshold.
"Ben't yo coming homo to supper,
Mlrandy7" ho demanded. "Yer ma sent
mo fer yo," darting a suspicious look et
ner jailer. "Ain't ye comlng7 I'll iook out
fer ye."
"Why," began Miranda feebly. Ray
mond, a sudden, unaccountablo resent
ment surging into his heart, frowned.
"Miss Miranda is in no need of a
champion," ho declared stiffly. "Sho
can leavo when she chooses. You may
go." And Tom, after an Instant's scowl
ing hesitation, went out. banging the
door. Miranda bit her lip.
"I will nover learn that lesson," sho
repeated stubbornly.
Thero was another long ollence while
tho shadows darkened. At last tho young
man rose and lit the lamp.
"It Is nearly 9 o'clock," ho said briefly.
Miranda, now closo upon tears, looked
back, sttU doflant.
"And If I pay It you'll let mo go?"
"Certainly."
' "I I hate you!" sho cried vehemently,
"hato you, hato youl And I'll nover, never
como Into this horrid schoolroom again!"
"I hato you!" she reiterated stormlly.
The next moment sho had flashed through
tho door and was gone. Raymond, oddly
depressed In splto of his victory, followed
slowly.
Tho world was flooded with tho tran
quil glory of the moonlight as ho went
out. A narrow path led to tho road whero
a row of maples lifted their leafy
branches to the starry skies, and Ray
mond, fancying that he caught tho gleam
of a whlto dress there under tho trees,
felt his heartbeats quicken. Somehow he
had been looking forward to walking
homo with tho girl. Then as he turned
from locking tho door a dark figure
rushed by the corner of the schoolhouse,
there was a woman's shrill scream, some
thing heavy struck his forehead and Ray
mond fell.
"Well," she said. "So I hear you've

and conscious, flushed. Mrs. Hemming
lifted her hands.
"Whatever am I going to do with that
girl?" she ejaculated. "Really, Bho's
growing fairly unmanageable. If sho
only had a father!" Tho young man
became suddenly quite grave.
"Will you Intrust tho task to me, Mrs.

"Trust you," cried Mrs. Hemming.
