Why I Married
The Man Who neally Fell In I.ove at
Middle Age Telia Hla Story
Hy DOROTHY DIX
"1 married a second time," said the
Contented Looking Man. "for the best
nnd happiest reason in the world—be
cause 1 fell wildly, madly, passionately,
"romantically In love with a woman
with a love such as no boy is capable
of experiencing:.
"I was one of the innumerable vic
tims of early marriage. When I was
nothing but an Immature, undeveloped
boy ray fancy was caught by a pretty,
little pink and white and gold girl, with
rosy cheeks and baby blue eyed, and
yellow curls.
"We had the same taste In ice cream
soda, and our steps matched in danc
ing. and from these great and unmis
takable evidences of mutual syrtinathy,
we decided that we were created foi
each other, and had been mvsteriously
brought together by an All Wiso Provi
dence.
"It was one of the greatest blessings
of poverty that most boys haven't
enough money to marry their first
sweetheart, and by the time they have
accumulated the wherewithal to go to
housekeeping on they have recovered
completely from their attack of calf
love, and so they are saved from
wrecking their lives on the rocks of a
youthful marriage.
'■Unhappily for me, T was an orphan
anc? had come Into a large fortune on
my twenty-first birthday, so there was
nothing to stand in the way of my in
dulging in any kind of fatal folly to
which T felt Inclined, and before I was
two-and-twenty 1 had done my best to
ruin my life hy making an utterlv un
suitable marriage.
A fwiri of l.lmltntlon*
"1 nderstand me, I am saying noth
ing against my little child wife—God
rest her soul in whatever Heaven she
inhabits. She was as she was made,
a good. dear, sweet little doll baby, a
little girl who stayed sixteen to the
end of the chapter, whose Interests In
the world were hound bv her own little
circle, and whose aspirations never
reached higher than pink candle shades
or a new hat.
"She never grew up. and I did grow
up. That was our cruel misfortune.
Bhe stayed just where she was when
we were married, and I went on study
ing. reading, learning from books and
men, getting the bigger and the broad
er outlook on life—a million new In
terests deevloplng for me every hour
of tn* day.

SATURDAY EVENING,
a Second Time
"I tried to take my wit* with me.
I would talk to her of my hopia. and
rlans, and aspirations, but she did not
understand and would complain that
the things that I was ambitious to do
would take me away from home and
that we were so comfortable as we
were.
"Not two years after we were mar
ried 1 faced the ghastly fact that I had
made the most terrible of all mis
takes. that I was bound for life to a
woman with whom 1 had not one
single thought In common, a woman
who could no more be a companion to
me than could the Dresden statuette
upon the mantelpiece. Worse still, 1
know with deadly certainty that my
boyish fancy for her had flickered out,
and in the light of my manhood's
knowledge I realized that I had never
really loved her at all. 1 had only
Imagined T had.
' T went through years of this hide
ous mockery of keeping up the pre
tense of sentiment nnd .happy home
and husband, and all the balance of
the domestic drama, and then my child
wife died Just as the gold in her hair
was turning to ashes.
"I was left a middle-aged man who
had drunk deeply of a hitter cup. 1
was sadly wise In matters of senti
ment and cynically suspicious of the
vagaries of the human heart, and if
you had told me that 1 should ever
marry again I should have laughed
you to scorn. I had tried it. Never
again. Besides, I should have suid:
'I atn too old for romance. That be
longs to boyhood, to sweet one-and
twenty, not the cautious forties.'
"And then the One Woman catne
along, and I went down before her
like ripe grain before the sickle. 1
was the man, mature, knowing all that
I needed, all that I wanted, my tagtes
formed, my ideals crystallized, and
when I found the woman who embodied
my every desire, I know that there
could be no mistakes, no disappoint
ments, no disillusioning.
"And I found out that a boy's love
is as water unto wine compared to
a man's love: that a boy's passion Is
the shadow of a flame to the con
flagration of a man's; that a boy's ro
mance is pale and colorless to the poini
and splendor of the romance with
which the trature man crowns his love.
"A boy's love! A child's fancy! 1
tell you It is this love of the middle
aged man that strikes the fire out of
men's souls. By the grace of God this
came to me, and that is why I mar
ried a second time."

A light flashed forth into the night.
"Now, we've got them where we
want them," said the officer. "Man
the launch and get away as quietly aa
possible."
Meantime Hernandez and his two
companions, Ponto and the brute,
waited with the patience of adventur
ers for the replying signal. They
were anchored in a speedy motor boat
In a small cove to the south of Sea
port. Receiving no answer to their
signal, they flashed another flare Into
the darkness. Once more they were
disappointed. Suddenly Hernandez
sprang to the engine and turned It
over.
"Steer an even course down shore,"
Hernandez cried to Ponfo. "Keep out
of the open. If they press us we can
land and make a getaway."
The commander of the destroyer
glanced through his glasses.
"That's a bad crowd," be said, "a
desperate bunch. Send up a gunner.
I think I'll take a chance."
They sent up a gunner and he took
a chance. The bow of the motor boat
flew Into space. Hernandez and his
gang were plunged into sea.
With one accord Hernandez and his
two companions struck out for the
shore.
At the Hardin cottage, at the sound
of the shot, Neal and Annette had
rushed forth with Joe Welcher a close
third.
"Coma on, Joe," said Neal. "Stay
where yon are, Annette."
But Annette, always venturesome,
insisted upon,keeping them company.
They had not gone twenty paces when
something happened. There was a
sudden rush from down the road and
a man, his breath coming quick and
fast, darted upon them, passed them,
and was away in an instant. But in
that Instant he had accidentally or by
design brushed violently against An
nette and knocked her down.
Neal raised her to her feet and then
beside himself with anger dashed after
this reckless individual up the road.
"Look, look," cried Annette, "what
Is this thing coming here?"
This thing, as Annette called It,
came on by leaps and bounds, with
hands that wildly waved about its
body and above Its head as it sped
along. It was a figure, gigantic, fear
ful. Welcher shuddered.
The huge creature stopped short In
his tracks and stared at Annette —
stupefied and fascinated.
The sharp crack of revolver shots
brought him to himself. He looked
behind him. Annette following his
gaze saw figures rushing up the road
way. The brute leaped up and with a
huge bound rushed up the road and
disappeared.
An officer followed by a handful of
sailors from the launch followed the
brute up the road.
CHAPTER X.
A General Jail Delivery.
Meantime N'eal, incensed at the as
sault, either intended or accidental,
upon Annette, was following his man
across country. Hernandez was lean
and agile and he kept well in the lead.
At the railroad, obeying some sudden
impulse, he turned and E-rung on down
the tracks. Here he was at a disad
vantage. Neal was accustomed to leap
ing railroad ties, two at a leap.
By this time, however, they had
reached the bridge—a bridge over the
Inlet to the north of the town. Her
nandez darted out upon it with Neal
immediately behind him, but just as
Neal was about to clutch him from
behind, Hernandez twitched aside and
leaped to the waters of the inlet far
beneath.
Neal followed suit. Both men swam
to shore and Hernandez, realizing for
the first time that he was followed by
one man and not two, now changed his
tactics. He stood upon the shore and
waited until Neal came up. Then
with a sudden rush he darted forward
and planted a murde*rous blow in the j
direction of Neal's chin.
When the blow was delivered Neal's
chin was not there, nor was Neal, but I
he was not far away. He ducked and j
countered with his left, striking Her- j
nandez full upon the throat.
At that instant something small and '
dark and fat leaped out of the dark
ness, drew a poniard, and before Neal '
could even turn, had cut a gash—a '
deep gash—in Neal's shoulder.
This new assailant was Ponto.
And then all three heard a sound !
upon the bridge. All three looked up. !
There in the moonlight, running full j
tilt toward them, was a squad of uni- |
formed men.
Ponto and Hernandez took to their j
heels and ran, but Neal in that instant
leaped upon them from behind,
clutched each man with one hand.
"Come on, boys," he yelled, panting,
"I've got them. Come."
Meantime Mrs. Hardin had succeed
ed in getting Annette back into the
cottage. Annette had been somewhat

but It was not that shock that af
fected her the most.
"It was that big wild man," she kept
exclaiming, with terror shining from
tier eyes. "It was his face —his face."
She looked up suddenly. "His face,"
she kept repeating. "Where have I
seen his face before." /
There was a tramp of feet without
and In another instant a naval officer
In uniform appeared In the doorway,
removed his cap and entered.
Neal, pale-faced, but with flashing
eyes, stalked In at his side. Annette
uttered a cry of dismay. Neat's white
shirt was drenched with blood.
Ten minutes later Hernandez and
Ponto were safely under lock and key
—the only prisoners in the town jail.
Three hours later, just as the moon
went down, a huge figure cautiously
crept up toward the barred window of
the jail. It lifted Its hands high above
its head, grasped the bars and drew
itself up until It could peer within.
"Break, brute," Hernandez com
manded softly. "Tear them up by the
roots. Get us out of this."
Five minutes later these three ill
-1 assorted figures crept noiselessly,
stealthily Into the shadows of the
night and disappeared.

THE FAILURE
CHAPTER XI.
May the Best Man Win.
Neal Hardin, clad in his life-saving
| uniform, eat upon the gunwale of his
lifeboat, gazing seaward —ever sea
| ward. He was seeing visions—always
visions of the sea. He caught An
nette's hand in his own. He turned to
i her.
"Annette," he cried, *Tve-,got to do
i !t—l can't help it. It calls to me—the
sea. It's in my blood."
The girl smiled—a bit sadly per
haps. But her eyes glowed. She re
turned the pressure of Neal's hand
with her warm, strong, girlish grasp.
"It's in your blood," she repeated,
"your father was a hero of the sea—
he saved me—you saved me, Neal.
You've got to go."
"You—want me to?" he asked.
"Yes, I want you to." , £
"I'll go," said Neal.
The girl held In her right hand a
| newspaper—the current issue of the
: local Seaport weekly. "I saved this
j just for you. Look. Read it, Neal,"
she said. She pointed to an item on
the first page.
CONGRESSMAN PRIME AN

§>, NAPOLIS EXAMINATIONS.
Congressman James J. Prime of Sea
port announces that the preliminary
examination for candidacy for Annap.
oils finals will be held at the High
School here on Thursday next at 9 a.
m. The congressman's privilege It
limited to but one appointment. May
the best man win.
"It's your chance, Neal," said the j
girl. She placed a hand upon his j
shoulder, and at her touch the blood j
ran through his veins like wine. ]
"You're the best man, Neal," she !
whispered, "always the best man.
You're bound to win."
Congressman James ,T. Prime was a
Seaport man—and the biggest man in
that shore town. He had sprung from
boatbuilding, seafaring ancestors; he
knew seagoing folki he liked them.
And he liked the sea. And the pleas
antest thing he did, he was wont to'
tell his friends, was to recommend I
clear-eyed, clean limbed young fellows
for Annapolis. At the very time that
Annette and Neal were sitting in the
lifeboat gazing seaward, the congress
man was at the post office, surrounded
by p. circle of old cronies, holding forth
upon the navy. As he talked he exam
ined his mall, opening it with a clumsy
forefinger. He had mail aplenty
small envelopes and big ones, long
and short. Three times he dropped a
letter, once he dropped a check
somebody picked them up for him.

STIEFF OPENING
IS BIG SUCCESS
Event Will Be Continued To
night; Building Greatly
Admired
So successful was the formal open
ing of the new three-story Stieff Piano
Building at 24 North Seoond street,
that L. F. Bass, manager of the store,
decided that lie will continue the event
to-day to give the many hundreds kept
indoors hy the rain last night another
opportunity to see Harrisburg's new
home of the Stieff piano.
Scores of people braved the weather
last evening to attend the formal open
ing and the entertainment provided
more than repaid them. On the first
[floor a twelve-piece orchestra played
popular airs and classic selections
while in the big concert hall on the
third floor piano recitals were given by
J<ee Cronican, of Carlisle, and Newell
Albright of this ctty. These features
will be repeated to-night.
The store was prettily decorated
with potted plants and ferns and with
numerous floral tributes sent to Mr.
Bass by his many friends. One big
basket of American beauty roses and
chrysanthemums was the gift of the
employes of the house.
The store was honored with the
presence of Frederick P. Stieff. Sr. and
Frederick P. Stieff, Jr., of the home
office at. Baltimore. Other out-of
town guests included John Geigle,
manager of the Scranton branch store
and former sales manager of the local
sto/-e, and Mr. Scarborough, the man
ager of the Stieff store at York.
Souvenir copies of Shakespeare's
plays were presented to those who at
tended the event. #
Words of admiration for the new
piano house were heard on all sides
last night. The building which is built
of red brick with white sandstone
trimmings is most beautifully finished
in the interior with hardwood floors
and mahogany woodwork. Walls of
huff give an artistic background to
the life of pianos. An open staircase
leading from th top to bottom of the
building gives the store a very home
tike touch.
A huge elevator rising through the
center of the building makes easy the
transportation of pianos from one
floor to another. The semllndirect sys
tem of lighting is used throughout the
building and a private branch tele
phone exchange connects with all de
partments.
The first floor is devoted to piano
display and the otfices. The second
iloor includes the player-piano depart
ment and a ladies' rest room beauti
fully furnished. On the third floor are
display parlors for grand pianos and
the big concert hall where frequent
recitals will be given by the city's lead
ing musicians. The basement is de
voted to the sale of "used" pianos and
will be wnown as the "bargain base
ment."

8761 Child's Dress, a to 6 years.
Children's fashions are very fascinating
this autumn. Here is a little dress that
is confined by means of a belt, the skirt
and body portion being cut in one and
joined to the yoke with sleeves. Ther®
are the fewest possible seams to be sewed
up and the least possible amount of work
required for the making, yet the model is
an exceedingly smart one. The front and
lower edges are finished with hems and
the bcco ning collar can be made of the
material as it is here or of embroidery,
mitred at the corners. Since the sleeves
make a part of the yoke, there are no arm
hole scams and the frock is an unusually
comfortable one as well as an extremely
fashionable one. The material illustrated
is white cotton cripe with ring dots of
blue and the collar, cuffs and belt are of
white linen. Both the fronts and the
back are tucked at their upper edges, but
if smocking is liked, the tucks could be
omitted and smocking in either white or a
color used in their stead.
Far the 4 year size will be required 2%
yds. of material 27 or 36 in. wide, a yds.
44, with l /i yd. 27 in. wide for collar,
cuffs and belt.
The pattern No. 8761 is cut in sizes
from 2 to 6 years. It will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion Department
of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.
