You know her way-cool, quiet but de-
termined as ever grew. Just after we
were married, and all was nice and cosy,
she got me into the habit Of doing all the
churning. She finished breakfast rather
before me one morning, and slipping away
from the table, she filed the chutn with
! cream, and set it down where I couldn't
help seeing what was wanted. SO took
bold readily enough and churned till the
| butter came. She didn't thank me, but
looked so nice and sweet about it that
felt well paid.
Well, when next churning day came a.
long, she did the same thing, and follow.
ed suit, and fetched the butter. Again and
again it was done just SO, aud was reg
ularly set for it every time. Not word
said, you know, Of course. Well, by
and by this began to be rather irksome t;
| wanted her just to ask me, but she nev.
er did, and wouldn't say anything about
it to save my life. So on we went. At
last 1 made resolve that 1 would not
churn aonther time until she asked me-
Churnng day came, and when my break
fast-she always got nice breakfasts
when that was swallowed, there stood the
churn' got up, and standing for few
minutes just to give her a chance, / put
on my hat and walked out of doors. l
stopped in the yard to give her time to call
me, but never a word said she, and SO
with palptatng hart l moved on. l
went down town, and my foot was as
restless as Noah's dove. l felt as if had
done wrong, | did not feel exactly how
but there was an indescrible sensation
of guilt resting on me all the forenoon.
1t seemed as if dinner time would never
come, and as for going home one minute
before dinner, l would as soon have cu
my ears off. So went fretting and mop
ing around town till dinner hour came
Home went, feeling very much as a Grim
inal must when the jury is out having in
their hands his destiny-Iife or death. -
| couldn't make up my mind exactly how
she, would meet me, but some kind o
storm expected. Will you believe it
she even greeted me with smile-neve
, had better dinner for me than on that day
+ but there stood the churn just whore lef
n it, Not word was said felt confound
edly cut, and every mouthful of that din
ner felt as if it would choke me. Sh
, didn't pay any regard to il, however, bu
+. went on just exactly as if nothing hat
happened. Before dinner was over,
~ had again resolved, aad showing back m.
chair, marched to the ehurn and went a
# it, just in the old way. Splash, dip, rat
!. tle-I kept it up. As if in spite, the but
ter was never so long in coming, l sup
q posed the cream standing so long had go
warm, and so redoubled my efforts.
4 Obstinate matter, the afternoon wor
"a away while was cburnng. Ipaused a
j last from real exhaustion, when she spok
4 for the first time. Come, Tom my deal
you have ratlled that butter. Ion
- enough-it is for fun you are doing it |!
l knew how it was in fash. She ha
= brought the butter in the forenoon an
had left the butter milk in ior me to exer
else with never set up for myself i
household matters after that.
