 My wife is foud of that horse. Hiram Blahe's voice sounded strange ly to him.
 ''lle looks overworked
 Yes. He has been doing the work Of two horses lately. ] must let him rest bit, or he will be nothing but skin and bones; but there Is no other way to get along. One can't do as he would like to, but as he can"
 ''I wish yon would let me take down the partition between these two stalls, they are too marrow for Peter to rest well. A,horse needs plenty of room, and ! shall sleep better fer it. too"
 Once proposal like tltis would have been met with drTision. bet Alr Blake was surprised st his own readiness to assist, and, while one bathad the stiff legs, the other brought an extra meas ure of meal "IOu would soon spoil the critters. He spoke jocosely, and little awkwafdly.
 ''Oh, no, said his companion, earn estly, 'I am only pleading for their rights
 "I didn't know they had my such particular rights" Mir Blake brought the words out slowly
 "oh, yes, every living thing has rights we are bound to respect. We can make a heaven for them here. if we will, and for ourselves, too.
 "i thought Heaven vas a long way of, with an angry Gcd to rule it."
 Heaven is right round us, or we can make it the other place, as many do. l see no anger in Gods dealings with us. He has given us this beauti- ful world It is the most bouudless love day after day; but we are slow lo learn the lesson, and to do ny each other and by every living creature even as he is doing for us all the time /"
 Hiram Blake thought long while over these words He had never heard anything like the ideas expressed in them
 One evening, seated on the piazza. the two men quite alone. Hiram cited the case of a woman who took money from her husbands pocket and asked his friend if he did not think it was taking what did not belong to her Mir. Dixon inquired into the case-if she worked without wages-if she re- ceived hall of the income rogularlv: and, having learned the facts, declared he thought it was plain case of stealing Hiram shifted uueasiiy in his chair. He did not exactly like 10 have the woman branded in this way. although he hau invited the criticism. But Mir Dixon continued.
 Yes, man that will force his wife to have recourse to such eztremeties- a wife who is Dnly toiler, not sharcr in the products 1f home-that man Is thief of tIc worst type. For what should he live but Co make her happy? Instead of that he is laying up bitterness for himself, and sorrow for all ar0un1 him
 Hiram Blake shifted his weight from one leg to the othgr He had not ex- pected this climax, and he hastily changed the subject
 q have been thinking of building on Co the kitchen, ana putting more windows in. My wife always said it was too small and dark What do you think2 be asked
 "I should build a new house, and move this one away, if owned it, and coull afford it."

 He had an architect to draw the plans, and Mr Dixon gave many sug- Eestiops. In time tbe house was fin. ished and furnished, escn Co a row a plants in the broad bay window.

His father had cautioned hip to say nothing about the new house. for he had planned . surprise Paul began Co tell about Che horse. Its yours. mother, your own, No one else can drive Peter unless you say so. Isn't he fat2 And the new carriage is all yours Isn't it soft and springy?n
 Mrs. Blake coold hardly believe her eyes. Of course she had heard some thing about ihu ugiv building, but that anything SD fine had been pre- pared for her, it would have taken great faith indeed to believe. Her hus- band followed her from room to room with delighted face Quite tired out with going over Che house, she sat down in the spacious living room be fore the plants, one mass of bloom and fragrance.
