.PAG2 TT70 THROUGH GREEN GLASSES. A Man Sometimes Forgets, and How , Jealnsy Works When Ton Get tlie Germ In the Heart (By Old Hurrygraph in the State (Journal.) . , Nelson McCain was fifty-five years old "when he married "Marion ; Long worth. Marion had flirted through Bix gummers and winters as well, in the whirl of social functions at Hen dersonYille, Asheville, and . other de lightful summer and winter resorts of "Western North Carolina: She was thirty-three years the junior of Nelson. For six months McCain was happy in the realm of wedded blias. With hiia love was the beginning, the mid dle ' and the end of everything. But people talked. They gossiped about how: foolish it 'was to take a wife not 'of "his age. The ' gossip came to the ears of McCain. - -But .he loved on Blindly; madly. Then he lit his torch '. from the fire-brand of the jealous field. It 'was at a social function at the McCain home, Fifth Avenue in . Hen- dersonvllle, that the master of the house, by chance overheard two of the guests discussing a mutual friend, no wist relating to McCain. He caught these words: "Isn't it foolish for an old man like that to marry a young woman hardly half his age, and expect her to smile "upon no one but himself? She cer tainly hoodwinks him. .. When he is away, then she does her flirting vigor ously." , McCain was disturbed in. mind mightily. Could this be his. beloved Marion? He would watch her. , He did. The opportunity to satisfy his now excited jealous mind came a few days later. On his way home, one after noon, he say a stylishly dressed young 'man opposite his residence, leaning against a tree, gazing intently at an open window of his home. He is flirting with Marion, sure, thought Mc- ' Cain. It is positive proof. He rushed madly into the house to find his wife in the "room with, the open window. She flushed and quick ly crumpled in her hand a piece of pa per. "Trifles, as light as air, are to -" the jealous-minded proofs as strong as holy-writ." To McCain's mind the evidence was clear. He pretended not to notice her geeming confusion and blushes, think- ing she would say something about it. But not a word to satisfy him did Bhe utter. He caressed her lovingly, and made an effort to get hold of the hand holding the note. She resisted. Then he demanded .to know what she was concealing from him. It was a plot to 'deceive him. She denied any such thing. He took the note from her.. , "Who is writing to you?" he de manded, a shis rage rose. , "I'm sure I, dp not know. I found , It on the floor." "Found it on the floor, eh? With the window open, and that young .chap across the street, gazing in here to see that you got it?" ... ' "I know nothing about it,"' replied XIarion sweetly. , , "Ibund it and haven't read it!" he stormed as his face grew redder. , . ' Marion replied, smiling, "I did not , have time to read.it before you came In. Then McCain, trembling with a par oxysm of jealous rage, opened the crumpled note and read: "My Darling One: I think only of you. I must see you. I cannot live without you. Meet me at 4 :: 0 .o'clock . tomorrow afternoon, in the lane, un der. the old apple tree, and I wil ted you how much I love you." And turning the scrap of paper over to find the name, which was on the op posite side, he paused for breath; his foce revealed several colors; his voice modulated almost, to a whisper as he jread; - .-w-. "Yours lovingly, V -'NELSON McCAIN." V Jt 'was a letter he. had written, when "alioy, to his first sweetheart, but had not sent her. He had the day before been looking over and destroying some old papers. .This one had escaped the fire In some way. Marion's opportunity had arrived. - She was slow in letting it pass. Nel son had to give her a limousine and a diamond ring before .perfect peace was restored. And yet, some people say. a wife not half as old as her husband does not love her hubby. Perish the thought!
