head from the lecture room window.
Indeed, her hungering heart became
unmanageable, and, entering the car
rage door, melted Jane sobbed out:
I'm sure it's good of you. Samuel,
to come for me this rainy day. and
then the tears flowed SO fast that fur
ther words were impossible.
Completely taken by surprise, Mr..
Tucker exclaimed, IL declare, l hadn't
no idea you d care 60 much about it,
Il wouldn't mind the walk" re-
sponded the wife, ''but-Samuel-Im
so happy to have you-come.
The strong man was brushing away
tear from bis cheek; now, his tender
or, better nature was mastering the
hard, selfish spirit which had long
possessed him, and with coughing and
choking, he said: Jane, l see I've
made an awful botch of our married
life; hyou've a mind to forgive me,
I'll see if / can't treat you from day to
day as q woman ought to be treated"
This confession was all too much for
the weeping wife, and she answered
quickly:
You're not a bit more to blame
than l am; I've been proud and OBJ
stlnate; but tell you what it is, we
will begin all over again.
The ice was now thoroughly broken,
and that afternoon Farmer Tucker and
his wife had a long talk over the past
and future. And in the evening, when
they were about to start for the prayer
meeting to be held in the neighboring
school house, the renewed husband
stopped and kissed his wife, saying:
''Jane, I've been a-thinkiDg that
married life amt so different from
farming or any other occupation. Now
l amt such fool as to think field
will keep a-y fielding if l only enrich it
once and plant; have to go over the
same ground every season; and here 1
supposed you was a-going to do as you
always did when We were q counting,
without my doing my part at ALL
1T hadnt changed any maybe you
would always have been as tender as
you used to be-" pleaded his wife.
perhaps so and perhaps not; but l
don't mean to leave you to try no such
plan. l tell you what it is. Jane, 1
feel as if we hadn't really never been
married till to-day. 1t most seems as
we ought to take wedding tower
Il m afraid we IL have to wait until
next summer for that was the smil-
ing response.
II suppose we shall; but we'll take
it then, certain; and Ill tell you where

1T is stated that Englishmen drink
five times as much tea as coffee, while
Americans drink eight times as much
coffee as tea. This is accounted for on
two grounds, American coffee is purer
than the English article, and the cost
of tea is less than that of coffee, as
there are a good many more cups in a
shilling's worth of tea than in a
shilling's worth of coffee.

But We, blind mortals, gased from far,
And did not SEQ single star.
