THE WIFE'S LESSON.

Ihe unmistaRaOle expression ol 'li'
temper disfgured her pretty face, and
Ernest sighed as he remembered how
often il had been there during their
blief marriage experience.
Upon the breakfast table were
standing the dishes Of q substantial
meal, in the disorder that followed
their use.
Breakfast was over, hut Ernest still
kept his seat, toying absently with a
teaspoon, while Myra looked at him
with the cross look OF o thwarted
child.
"Thenyou won't give me the dress 2
she SAID.
IL cant Myra. l really could not
do it without running in debt.
"That's just an excuse. Papa al.
ways gave me the money TO buy my
clothes even if he was cross about
some other things.
"Your father was a rich man Myra
when we were married"
II wish he was rich now. I'd ask
him for the money. never thought
you would I've stingy Ernest"
This last thrust vas too much for
the long enduring temper.
Ernest Mather's voice was very
stern as he answered:
II am not stingy Myra. You knew
that I was a poor man when you mar.
ried me, and that | could not give
you the luxuries of your old home
but l have granted you every indnl-
gence in my power without running
in debt. That l will not do for your
sake as we'll as mine."
He left her then, lingering in the
hall, as he put on his overcoat, hop.
ing she would come out for kiss and
word of reconciliation.
But she sat tapping her little foot
upon the floor until the hall door clos
ed, and then run to her room crying.
She was a spoiled child, the only
daughter of a man who had been very
wealthy, but who had hazarded his
money in an unfortunate speculation
and lost it.
A position abroad was offered him
which he accepted.
His house and furniture, which he
had given his daughter for we'd
ding gift, were settled upon herself,
and not affected by his change OF for
tune.
He knew Ernest Mather to be an
honorable man, who had good busi-
ness capacity and high place III the
esteem and confidence of his employ
ers, and he felt no anxiety about
Myra's future.
So the little wife as she made her
pretty blue eyes red with tears Of
temper, had no sensible mother to tell
her how wrongly she was acting, no
sister to sympathize with her, no one
10 scold or humor her.
Under these circumstances the tears
were soon dry, and Mrs. Mather went
out for walk.

again, even il can't buy it," she said
as she tied on coquettish little bon
net and otherwise besuti6ed herself
for her expedition.
The day was bright. a soft warr'
morning 10 early spring. and the shops
were filled with tempting duery.
In Myra's dainty portemonniae there
was money enough to purchase num-
ber Of nice little parcels, even though
the price of the expensive dress she
wanted was denied her.
So the morning slipped away, and
luncheon time found her chatting

He obtained employment in a distant
town, and for a time all went well,
and prosperity seemed to smile upon
him. One day news came to this girl
that her lover had met with u sad ac-
cident. He had been caught in the
machinery about which he was EN-
ployed and mangled terribly. She
hastened to his bedside, and found the
wreck ola strong man. She nursed
him with all care and tenderness, but
he died. The elder Workman was
informed of his sons death and was
asked if the body was to be brought
home and buried in the family lot
He is said to have replied that if his
sons remains wera in q thousand
pieces not one OF those pieces should
be brought within his doors. When
he cast out his son he cast him out
utterly and forever. Ida Richards
was working girl, and a provident
one. She had saved a little money,
and with it she purchased lot in
Pine Island Cemetery, and there she
buried the body. She stood by as
they covered the grave, and they were
obliged to leave her there, for she
said she wanted to watch the place
alone. Pine Island Cemetery is a
dreary spot at best. 1t is not a fash,
ionable burial ground now, and has
been allowed to fal. into decay. In
this ghostly spot the girl threw her
self upon the grave. The sun was
low down in the west when they left
her there, and after nightfall, when
her friends went to remove her, they
found her dead.
