while others quarrel and bicker, and
seek the divorce courts, we love the strong

He got up and came over and kissed me,
and upon returning to his chair seemed
lost in reflection for a moment; then he
continued:
"How curious life Isl Doyou remember
the day first saw you ?"
II shall never forget it,"
81 was on horseback, you remember,
and you stood on the veranda of your
fathers house"
'You are trifle mistaken, dear. The
horse had thrown you off into mud-hole,
and l shall never forget the picture you
presented as you approached the house.
At first took you for"
"What! A horse throw me off ~ he in

Certainly. Don't you remember how

"Mrs. Bowser, are you crazyP was
never thrown from q horse in nay life! I'd
like to see the horse which could throw
me Off You must be thinking of some
one else"
why, dear, you lost your watch in the
mud, aBd father fished it out. Don't you
remember how our negro Tom scraped the
mud off of you ?"
mot by long shot No niger ever
scrsped me down You must be think
ing Of that yellow haired dude you used to
go with"
We were both silent for time, and l
hoped it was the last Of it. My expert
ence, although dating back over a few
years only, has satisfied me that nothing
aggravates husband more than to bring
up the silly things he said and did during
his courtship. II seems to be a raw spot
with majority of them after the honey
moon is over. But Mr.. BOwser was not
satisfied. After four or five minutes he
broke out with:
"Its curious what Ounce a man can
make of himself with his eyes wide open"
"Y-e.s?"

with your'
"Or with your
He glared at me over the top of his book,
and there was another painful silence,
broken at last by his saying:
"Well, I'll admit that l was in love;
but fatter myself that didn't exhibit
any school-bOy nonsense"
"You were Just like any other young
man in love, Mr.. BOWser. They have al
ways been that way, and always will be,
and it's no discredit to them"
"Do you mean to say 'mooned' around
like calf" be demanded.
II don't know how calves moon, as
you term it, but you wanted to hold my
hand, put your arm around me, and"
Hold your hsnd-leverW
"But you did!n
"Never-neveTW
"Mr. Bowser, have one of my old d.
aries. Wait until l get it"
''Not much! You can't produce no old
diaries nor forged documents on me! l
anticipated an evening OF solid comfort and
you can see how il has turned out Is it
any wonder that so many husbands seek
the saloons and gambling houses Of an
evening""
At this moment the cook called me out |
to ask me what she should prepare for /
breakfast, and a quarter of an hour later, !
when l returned to the back psrlor, Mr..
Bowser seemed deeply interested in his
reading. l was glad Of this, for l felt
bit conscience stricken, but I scarcely got
seated when he asked:
Twas Emma Davis here to day."

'How was she looking"
''Very well. wanted her to stay until

"What for, Mr.. Bowser?"
"YOu know"
II haven't the least idea"
''Ha! ha! hal What dissemblers VIC
men are. 1t was always a sore spot with
you, though you would never admit it.
How you do blush--ha hs bs"
''Mr. Bowser, what do you refer top
"Why, there's NO doubt that the dear
girl once fondly expected to be Mrs. Bow
SER"
"Nonsense'
"Whatw
''Nonsense"
"You say that simply for revenge, but
l know better. We were as good engaged
when l met you"
Trash, sir! She was engaged to Jack
Smith long before you ever saw Der, and
they are to be married as soon as his time
is out in the navy. Don't hatter yourself
that she has anything laid up against
you"
"Mrs. Bowser" he began, as he got up
nd crossed his hands under his coat tails,
do you know who you are talking to-"
81 do"
''You are talking to man who could
nave been Emma Davis husband two
years ago
'I'll prove to the contrary"
"HoW?"
"By one CT my old diaries"
"Diaries again. Always holding some
hing over me. Now produced want to
zee one of those diaries you talk about"
I ran up stairs and got them out of one
Of Mr.. Bowser's old boots, in which l keep
hem for safety. There were two of them,
each for a separate year, and as I came
iown with them he looked puzzled and
stammered:
"W-why, I-I-thought L"
"Yes, you thought you had burned {
hem, but you we're mistaken. The books {
you got hold of the other Sunday when
was at church were two old receipt books
Of no particular value. I found every
hing turned topsy-turvy, and I knew
what you had been up to-"
