Dr. Boyd's
Experiment
It Prevented a Rupture Be
tween Man and Wife
By DWIOIIT NORWOOD
"Doctor, I wish to consult you ubout
my wife. She has acted strangely
ever since our child was boru."
The words were spoken by Stephen
Hapgood. aud be was addressing Dr.
Howard Boyd.
"Be seated, Mr. Hapgood, and give
your wife's symptoms. We have a
great many cases of women acting
strangely after child birth. What
form does it take in Mrs. llapgootl's
case?"
"An antagonism to me. It was u
love match between us, and we have
been devoted to each other ever since
our marriage until this strange freal*
came upou her. She has taken it Into
her bead that I am ill treating her. 1
am fearful lest at any day she may
apply for a divorce."
"Um!" said the doctor thoughtfully.
"Will you visit her?" asked Mr.
Hapgood.
"Does she consider herself 111?"
"Not in the least. She supposes her
self to be in the best of health."
"In that case what reason shall I
glvo for my visit?"
Mr. Hapgood was unable t" suggest
a reason, and Dr. Boyd com liar 1:
"I would like to try in tins ci.se
what 1 admit Is an esperin.eni sup
pose we give your wife a »'i"i «?"
"What kind of u shock:"
"It might be reported to her ill it yon
had met with an accident, had divert
ed ber for another woman or had been
killed."
"I see." replied Mr llapgoud. iimis
Ing. Tben lie replied: "To itnix'se on
her by pretending to be injured would
not work. If 1 should protend to de
sert ber she would surely yet u di
vorce. The only one of the ways you
have mentioued of shocking ber that
seeius to uie to be practicable is for
me to pretend to lie dead And even
that would be difficult."
"Try it."
"But suppose the shock should in
jure my wife physically still further':'
"If she Is not iu her riutil mind tin
announcement will not affect ber un
less to restore ber reason, it' it has
this effect we can disabuse her at
once."
"Very well, doctor; on your respon
sibility I will make the trial." and Mr.
Hapgood left the doctor's office.
While this dialogue was going on
another was taking place between Mrs.
Hapgood and an attorney.
"Mr. Stanley." she said, "i desire
that you procure a divorce for uie
from my husband."
"On what grouuds. madamV"
"Cruelty."
The attorney took a pen and pro
pounded a series of questions as to Mr
Hapgood's cruel acts. When the cata.
logue was finished, be drew up a legal
document which be presented to her
for signature. She put her name to it
without a quiver and. returning to her
home, met her husband the same even
Ing at dinner with a cold stare.
Fortune favored the plan for shock
ing Mrs. Hapgood. Not long after her
application for a divorce while sitting
in his office he heard a newsboy crying
"Extra! Big railroad accident!" and
buying the paper he discovered that the
trouble had-occurred ou the road by
which he was accustomed 10 go to his
suburban home. Stepping to a tele
phone. he called up I>r. Bovd. and the
result of the Interview was that the
doctor went to the Hapgood home and
announced to Mrs. Hapgood that her
husband had been reported badly in
jured on bis way home from the city.
The doctor's eyes while imparting
the news were on Mrs. Hapgoods. lie
taw a slight quiver pass over ber. but
sot being satisfied with it in a medical
point of view pushed ou. saying that
he had not. told her the worst. Mr.
Hapgood had been killed. The lady
looked at him as though she did not
quite understand him.
"Your husband is dead, Mrs. Hap
good." the doctor added; "he has been
killed on his way home on the train
from the city."
"My husband dead?"
"Yes. madam—killed in a railroad ac
cident."
The lady seemed to be struggling
with her feelings for awhile, tben re
marked :
"I'm sorry, but he deserved it; be
treated me shamefully."
The doctor, disappointed, turned away
and. on returning to his home, called
up Mr. Hapgood and reported that the
experiment had failed. However, he
suggested that Hapgood keep dark for
awhile. It was possible that the desired
effect, might come Inter. Hapgood
promised to nbide by the suggestion
and remained in hiding in the city?
A couple of days after Mr. Hapgood's
supposed death his wife called again ou
Mr. Stanley, ber attorney. She was
dressed in mourning and wore a wid
ow's cap of exuberant proportions.
"Mr. Stanley," she said, "have you
Bled the papers In my case?"
"T have not as yet. madam: in those
cases we never act hastily: we iiope for
a reconciliation, or at least an amicable
adjustment."
"Destroy them."
"1 see you are In mourning. Has any
thing happened?"
"My husband has been killed In a
railroad accident"
"Indeed?"
"Yes. I wish your opinion as to the
amount of damages I can recover."
"Tbat Is a matter for compromise
with Hie railroad company. If you can
not come to an agreement with it you
can sue it.'"
'1 have been Informed that the com
pany proposes to leave nil claims to the
courts."
"In that case we have only to com
mence suit."
"Please do so at once."
"What amount shall I sue for? How
much was your husband worth to you
pecuniarily?"
"lie received a salary of $11,000.''
"That Is <> per cent on $100,000. But
since we usually lay claim for much
more than we expect we will make It
mure than that. Thero Is a loss, you
know, beyond a pecuniary loss. You
would value your damage in being de
prived of a loving husband at how
much?"
"A linmlivil thousand dollars Is tlio
least sum 1 would uume. My husbnnd
was devoted to iik\"
"Very well. We will sue for $200,
000. if we K'i't $-'0,000 it will be ;uore
than is usual in such cases "
"Twenty thousand dollars." exclnitn
ed the lady, "for such n husband, one
so );oiid. so tender, so kind! You don't
mean to tell me that 1 will receive no
more than that!"
The lawyer explained that such
claims were hard to make good.
There were many delays to be expect
ed: tlic railroad would doubtless tight
the cast- to the hitter end, and It was
ditlicult to say what a judge or a
Jury would so The lady was obliged
to be satisiied witU ihis explanation,
but left lite oilire declaring that the
loss of her husband was Irreparable.

The hnvyor took up a telephone re

asked if she could eonvenicntiy come
to his olllt-e Site replied (hnt slie
could and would ilapgond withdrew
to an adjoiuing room and wailed. When
his wife arrived Mr. Stanley had laid
two doeiinietits on a table. t!ie one for
a divorce, the other her application for
damages against Hie railroad company.
S!ie had hei'ii in the office lint a few
moments when in walked her husband
in perfect condition He siood for a
moment regarding her. she looking nt
htm as one dazed. (Joing to tlie table
on wlii.-h rested the two documents,
he took up one and read aloud. "And
tlie said Stephen ilapgood has made
the deponent's life intolerable:" then
taking up tlie oilier lie read, "And the
said Stephen Napgood was a faithful,
true and loving husband and contribut
ed so far as a husband could to de
ponent's comfort and happiness." Look
in:: at his wife tenderly, he said to
her:
"Tell me, sweetheart, which of these
statements Is true?''
Mrs. flapsood sit like one coming
out of a trance. Seeing that she was
about to collapse, tier husband took
her in his arms, and she sobbed on
his breast.
That was the end of Pr. Hoyd's ex
periment. Mrs. ll.-ipgood had returned
i to her former condition, and when
questioned later declared that she had
no remembrance whatever of having
j visited a lawyer's office or of having
signed any papers. She became, as
before, a loving wife, and avowed that
she hail never had any cause what
ever to complain of her husband's
treatment.
However, since the spring was com

change of scene, and in order to get
