NOT a SUCCESS.
Ar Experiment which Was Not En-
tirely Satisfactory.

just before Eckson and his wife
started on their bridal tour, Eckson
said: I'VE want to show people that
all newly married people are not silly"
Yes. we do, Henry
Now, when we get on the train, let
us not pay any attention to each
other"
"4lll right"
"WeHll lean apart from each other
and act rs if we have been married for
years, won't we?"
Yes. Oh, tell you what would be
the funniest idea in the world. Henry.
Wc'll take different seats, and after
awhile We'll get acquainted. Won't
that he nice?"
'First-class; splendid"
When they boarded the train they
took opposite seats. Henry took up a
newspaper, and Mollie looked at the
wavering landscape. After awhile,
Henry looked up, and saw the conduc-
tor sitting with Mollie Henry chuck
led. ..Thinks she's in love with him, I
reckon" the bridegroom mused.
"Believe I'll go forward and take a
smoke" His cigar must have been
unsatisfactory, for he soon threw it
away and resumed his seat opposite his
! wife. The conductor was telling an
amusing story, and Mollie was laugh
ing gleefully. She did not even look
at her husband.
''This is playing it little too fne,"
Henry mused. II like to see good
acting, but she acts little too welL.''
The train stopped at station, and
the conductor got up and went out, but
returned Immediately, and again sat
down by Mollie. just then young
woman came along and asked Henry
if she could share his seat. He gladly
consented, musing that he could play
even with his wife. A few moments
later, while he was busily talking, he
saw, with asweetened thrill of revenge,
that his wife was looking at him. At
the next station the young woman got
off the train, and when the conductor
went out, Henry sat down by Mollie.
~ don't know what you want to sit
down here for" she snapped. "Why
didn't you get off the train with"
What do you want to talk that way
for. prccious?'
Precious nothing. Go on, I don't
want you here"
Il suppose you would rather talk to
the conduclor?"
II would rather talk to anybody that
will treat me with respect
'.Now, darling"
Darling nothing. I'm going to get
off the train and 90 home, that's what
I'm going to do. I'm not going to live
with you. that's what l amt, and
when pa asks me why, I'm going to
tell him that you did not treat me
with respect. You don't love me and
never did. You used TO let on like
you did but you don't even dc that any
more
"Mollie-''
"Mollie nothing. 60 on, don't want
you here"
Nov don't be foolish. You know
how you carried on with the conductor.
Never saw him before, either"
''1he mischief haven't. He's my
uncle. | was going to introduce you to
him but didn't want him to know that
we were married until just before we
got off the train.''
..Mollier'
"What?'
Wont you forgive me?'
81 ought not to, you are so mean"
II was jealous and
"Jealous?"
Yes"
Il didn't know you loved me enough
to be jealous
But do. Don't you love me just
little?'
''Yes, more than you do me-"
mo"
.'Yes."
''No. you don't, precious"
Yes, do, darling"
'If these people were not lookino I'd
kiss YOU" Henry, after a short 81.
lcnce, rcmarked:
Its none OF their business"

There
He put his arm around her and when
he thought that no one was looking,
kissed her
"Do you love me?' she asked.
81 adore you.''
You make me awful happy"
'You will live with me, won't you?"
Yes. always. We like the old-fash-
loned bridal tour the best, don't wep"
Yes
"And we don't care how many peo-
pie are looking, do we?"
No"
"And if they don't like it they can
get oil the train, can't they?"
"Yes, and you will live with me,
won't you?"
II couldn't live without you.n
II couldn't live without you, either"
"Because you love me. don't you?"
''Yes, and because you love me, don't
you?'
just then man got up, opened his
vallse, took out piece of cake, hand
ed it to Henry, and said:
"1t's yours. Take it, ."..
Il don't want it"
'But you have earned it'
II won't have it,
The man threw the cake on the seat.
