they were in the carriage together driv-
ing home. there might have been an
open rupture, but for the determined
calmness of Alice, who took everything
as matter Of course.
One glance in the beautiful nursery
unseuled bis eyes. There by the fire sat
Mabel in the abandon of aeqliqee tot
let, her luxuriant tresses falling in glossy
freedom over her shoulders. while the
little fellow on her lap, clutching at one
long, shining curl, crowed and laughed
as we'll as he could for ''auntie's" smoth-
ering kisses.
A sudden revulsion of feeling came to
the fathers heart at sight of this sweet
home-plcturc
"Aha! know who contrived this
plot" he said. "but | am glad to see
you, nevertheless"
Wasn't she tue belle Of the bale p
answered Mabel, saucily.
"There is no doubt of that. At any
rate, | didn't get chance to dance with
her."
"Of course. Who ever heard in
society of dancing with ones wife Z" she
said sarcastically II see that she fol-
lowed my directions implicitly. You
must learn, sir, that house divided
against itself cannot stand; that is, il
one half is flirting at a party, and the
other half is ut home crying her eyes
out"
ooh, Alice-were you really 7"
IL should think she was. | can as
sure you that myself saw half the
house dissolved in tears and so wretched
that"
mabel, hush p said Alice inploring-
ly.
Traitor, do you turn on me p ex-
claimed Mabel with mock displeasure.
"My child" she went on, tossing the
growing cherub, "tell your selfish papa
that he also had some obligations. and
that if you had known you were to be the
bone of contention in the family, you'd
have stayed in the garden ofaugels, where
you we're wanted"
Herbert was strongly affected by this
audacious outburst, but it had the effect
of leading him to see his duty in n new
light. 1t taught him to reflect, opened
his eyes to his selishness, aud made him
from that evening a better and more
considerate husband.
Six months from that time Alice was
dressed for party. But this time the
party was given at her own house and in
honor of Mabcl's marriage. Even the
bride did not look lovelier, for nothing
now occurred to MARI her happiness
and happiness, after all, is the best pre-
servative of beauty.
"Ah, how charming you look" whis-
pered Mabel, with an arch glance, as
they passed each other in the dance, -
"Prettier even-and it is saying great
deal-thsn when cured your husband

HANG THE BABY p

Then you wont go, Alice 2"
"No, Herbert; Pm sorry-but the
baby?"
"Oh, hang the baby!" and Herbert
flung out of the room, slamming the
door behind him.
Alice stood looking at the door, grow
ing whittier and whittier then she gave a
heart breaking cry, fell on her knees by
the cradle and hiding her face in her
hands sobbcd bitterly.
She had looked forward so long to
going to this particular party. 1t was
given by Mrs Mountoy, one of the
leaders of society. and all that was emf
nent in politics, diplomacy or literature,
as well as distinguished in the fashiona-
BILE world, were sure to be there. She
had been kept at home so much since
the baby had been born that she really
felt the need of a little variety and re-
taxation. But baby had been threatened
with Group week before, and the fond
mother had not yet recovered from her
fright. Baby, she admitted, was now
better, "but not fit" she declared, "to
be left. at lest with only the nurse to
look after it. Nurses so careless, every
body had told her, even the best Of
them" She had not asked Herbert to
give it up also, and even said there was
no reason he should stay at home; but
still in her heart of all hearts, she hoped
he would.
HE said, hang the baby ! yes, be

dignant emphasis, as she bent over the
unconscious sleeper at was your papa

Suddenly she heard the sound of car
riage wheels outside; they stopped at
the door /; the bell rupg, and fair-like
figure stood on the threshold of the
room, in all the wistful fulness of ex-
pectancy, with dimpling smiles and
laughing eyes
"Oh, Mabel ?" cried Alice, starting
to her feet with glad cry.
Forthwith ensued a scene of rapturous
welcome. Then the baby was exhibited,
and one would not have dreamed that a
tear had ever stained the cheek Of the
proud mother. Then the visitors trunks
were ordered to be carried upstairs.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.

BY FATHER RYAN
Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life bv art:
But some tell their days by the flow Of their
tears,
And their life by the means of their heart.
The dials of earth may show
The length, not the depth, Of years,
Few or many they come-few or many they go;
But our time is best measured by tears.
All not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our
way,
And not by the burrows the finger of care
On forehead and face have made,
Not SO do we count our years;
| No, by the sun of the ear,h--but the shade
| OF our souls--and the fall of our tears.
For the young are oftimes old,
Though their brow be bright and fair;
| While their blood beats warm, their heart
lies cold
" er then Inc sprlng-tllne-out wluter IS there
And the old are oftimes young,
When their hair is thin and white
And they sing in age as in youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was light.
But bead by bead | tell
The rosary Of my years;
From a cross to cross they lead-'tis well
And they're best with blessing Of tears.
| Better = day of strife
| Than century Of sleep;
! Give me instead of long stream Of life,
The tempest and tears Of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows OF all the years;
But never the foam brings the brave bark
| home
1t reaches the haven through tears.
