Instead of thinking what sht
should have attended to befor'
i going TO bed, she thinks of i
afterward. While she is revol-
wing these matters in her mind
and while snugly tucked up il
, bed. the old man is scratching hi:
: head in front OF the fire and won
dering how he will pay The
next months rent. Suddenly
she exclaims:
James, did you lock the doors'
"What door e. says James.
l "The cellar door, says she.
"No." says James.
"Well, you had better go down
| and lock it, for | heard some one
in the back yard last night
Accordingly James paddles
down the stairs and locks the
door. About the time James re-
turns and is going TO bed, she re-
marks
''Did you shut the stair door?'
"No," says James.
"Well, if it is not shut, the cat
| will get into the chamber"
"Let her come up, then," says
james.
MY goodness. MOI" returns
his wife ''she'd snck the baby's
BREATH"
Then James paddles down
stairs again and steps on a tack,
and closes the stair door, and
curses the cat, and returns TO. The
bedroom. Just as he begins to
climb into his couch his wife Oh
serves:

ter. Suppose you bring up some
in the big TIM
And so James, with a mutter-
ed curse, goes down into the dark
kitchen and falls over a chair and
raps all the tinware off the wall
in search of the "tin," and then
jerks the door open and howls: |

She gives him minute direc.-
ions where to find !the matches,
and adds that she would rather
60 and get the water herself than
have the whole neighborhood
raised about it; after which JAM
es finds the matches, procures
the water, and comes up stairs
and plunges into bed.
Presently his vile says: "Jam-
es, let's have an understanding
about money matters. Now, next
week I've got to pay"
Il don't know what you'll have
to pay and don't care shouts
James as be lurches around and
jams his face against the wall,
''all want is Sleep
''That's all very well for you,"
snaps his wife, as-she pulls the
covers viclously; ''you never
think of the worry and tronble l
have. And there is Aramnta,

''Let her take EN-" says jam l

"Where 2" says James sleepily. t
