"Good. . eiaculated Mrs. Zones. uIts
a pretty time of day for him to bring up
his first wife. 1t was the talk of the cOun-
try how he misused her. She did the
milking as long as she could get to the
cow-yard, and when she got SO bad that
she couldn't walk to the barn, Luttrell had
the cows driven to the door-yard gate, and
she MIXED 'em there. IN
People of his stamp usually get come
up with sooner or later. and guess he'll
find that the second Mrs. Luttrell win
wipe out a few Of the evil deeds be COM
mitted against the first"
John Luttren knew that he had what in
neighborhood districts is called "bad
NAME"
He knew that the people said openly
that he had abused his first wife. and that
1t was the marvel of the town when he
married his second one. But he did not
care for that. He was too stingy and
mean to hire his household labor done. II
he could prevent it by marrying drudge.
to whom no law con.nelIed tbe ,avmsnt
of wages for the service of her hands and
body.
But, with all his meanness, John Lut-
trell was wise enough to know that he
must look for his second wife in some re-.
gion remote from his own home.
a He had keen eve IN bns;nese yvben h a

neighboring State. near that Of q relative
of his own and she wac 70 mons for har
housekeeping Qualities. as well "a for the
possession OF a tongue h cen and sbarn as

The courtship had been mosaic in fhe
extreme.
Luttrell had been recommended tn Miss
Hall BY his relative. as being "well. 10.
do" Of good business turn, and "not
overly old,'' and the said relative had
written Luttrell letter in answer 10 one
in which came the announcement of his
wife's death. telling the bereaved m hns-
band that the best thing to be done was
for him to come on and marry Miss Hall.
Nothing 10th. Luttrell Immediately
obeyed the summons. and. three DAYS after
his first introduction to the spinster. thew
were united and on their wav bact y
Ashcomb.
To be sure. Luttrell did not tell his
bride how long he had been widower.
No need of that he thought. and she was
good deal shocked, the week after her
installment in her new domicil. to be in
formed. by an officious caller. that the first
Mrs. L. had died less than two months
previously.
This was not all that she had discovered
Luttrell began to q Law down the lawn in
the way OF Expenditures.
He ordered corn bread three times a
day, to be varied with an occasional ket-
tie Of mush.

the earliest and best of all the fruit went
the same way. Hams were smoked and
sold. Honey disappeared down the rapa-
cious throat of the market. alone with
spring chickens and the butter. that grew
into plump. golden rolls. under the skill.
full manipulation of the new wife.
Mrs. Luttrell number two closed her lins
tightly as this phase gradually unfoldcd

nothing, while she found Il Agreeable tn
