agreed, my dearl
And Louis Weldon aud his moNth-
old bride stopped talking and looked
at each other; he was grave and dig
nilied, and she just as impudent and
unconcerned as possible
Louis Weldon was a grave, proud
man, with splendid intellect, though
somewhat prejudiced against strong
minded women. And she, Leila Wei
don, was one of those gay, irrpressible
girls who, like mettlesome horse,
chaied at the least restraint.
She might be crushed, but she ould
not be curbed; and there was where
Louis Weldon made a serious mistake
in judging his wife; but why he should
care to suppress the characteristics
that had charmed him in their lover
days was mystery to Leila.
She was handsome girl, in the
dark style of beauty.
Her eyes were simply glorious.
The ideas of Louis Weldon and his
wife were generally different; but they
both agreed IN one respect, and that
was their love for each other.
They had spent nearly a month
roaming around sightseeing, and
they had beeu so happy. Leila
vaguely wondered if the perfect
heaven caught rays of the honeymoon
would continue to shine until the sill

Nov, Louis, l d.n't want you TO
scold me; said Leila, making com
zeal failure of trying to assume a
martyr-hke air as her husband began
TO talk seriously.
"Of course | shall not scold YOU ~
And Louis Weldon kissed the half
pouting lips. But really, my dear,
want you to abide by my wishes.
With pleasure, Louis.
Now / consider my judgement SUI
per0r to yours in some things.
And if you can only convince me
OF the last mentioned fact, | suppose
things generally will assume that even
tenor that is SO admirable.
We'll, we won't discuss the matter
any further at present.
And Louss Weldon lighted a cigar
and strolled ltisurely down town,
forgetting for the first time to leave
the accustomed kiss on Lelja's scarlet
mouth,
One thing was evident, thought Mr..
Weldon; Leila showed signs of re
belllon, aud, in his Judgment, to have
happy home, man must be the ruler
And yet he did not mean to be un-
kind.
Oh, no.
No man ever does; but Leila would
not please him if she continued in the
old irrepreSsible way.
One day, as he sat reading, pair
of soft hands suddenly blinded his
eyes, and the owner of the hands sad
gayly:
''Who is itl"
Leila
Yes, sir; right the first time
Leila, don't you know l don't
like to be disturbed when l am read

'Then you shouldn't read while I'm

And Leila began huummg little
snatch of love song TO Ade the lump
that seemed swelling in her throat.
