shall I tell you the truth? In the labors
of this awful day completely forgot it
Come. Jenny, can't you see how tired I
am and how sorry am, my child?''
She bit her lip spitefully and still
drew away from the gentle cares Of his
hand
"You wouldn't have forgotten if it
had been something you cared about
yourself-the Working Boys club, or
the new reading room. or any Of your
prosy, outlandish fads. Oh, you wouldn't
have forgotten it then!'
Did she guess how her words hurt
him: He looked steadily at her, and the
vein between his brows which throbbed
in moments Of deep feeling became
more marked.
Don't you think so:" he asked slow
" and coldly. Every well, let us say
no more about it."
As he ate his supper in silence his
wife sat with only the tip of her nose
to him and rocked, rocked, rocked un-
til his brain was dizzy from the inces-
SAINT motion. After glancing at her a
few times and seeing her pretty face set
i'll the malicious stubbornness from
which it took her some DAYS to recover
he tried to forget it all and leave her to
become reasonable herself.
But he could not forget. Clearer than
ever tonight he saw how closely topeth-

which he fed his mental life, his aspi-
rations, his dreams, would have seemed
like the whisperings Of q mailman to
this little woman who bore his name

stand.
But of this side of his nature she
knew nothing. No one knew of it, ex-
cept IN a dim, wondering. way-the
workmen he befriended, the boys to
whom he became at once companion
and a teacher.
BY and by Jenny rose, and, with q
look around the room in which he was
not included, swept out, banging the
door after her.
He was alone in the now fireless
room. Was it only that that made him
cold? He sighed impatiently as he lit O
cigar, and, leaving the table for the
servant, who thrust in her head with a
sleepy query, flung himself into the
chair before the crate and closed his
eyes.
1t was some hours later when he
started up, chilled to the marrow, the
flesh on his forehead feeling drawn and
ftiff. At his feet lay the half smoked
cigar. All, he had been asleep. He had
dreamed that q woman all in white,
with wonderful eyes and star blazing
above her brow, had held out her hand
to him.
Then it was only dream.

A MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.

surprising Experience In . Car Of . Boy
Who Was Headstrong.
A poorly dressed woman with bow
about years old boarded one of the
Union Trolley company's cars in White
Plains avenue recently. There was 10
vacant seat. and she grabbed strap in
front OF young man and prepared to
hang on. The young man got up and
tipped his hat to her. Quick as a flash
the boy dropped her hand and leaped in
to the seat on his knees, taking care to
wipe his muddy feet ON the clothing of
the passengers on either side. The young
man looked first at the woman, for
whom he intended the seat, and then at
the boy. The woman shook her head
and said:
Poor boyl Iguess he's tired. He can
have it. SIR
The young man looked from one to
the other again. He shifted about un-
easily for moment. The other passen-
gers in the car giggled. That decided
him. Holding to a strap with one hand,
he reached for the boy with the other
and got him by the nape of the neck.
He lifted him clear of the seat and held
him dangling and kicking in the air.
The woman was about to protest. Then
she thought better of it and sat down in
the vacant seat.
Madam" said the young man,
throwing the boy at her, there is your
boy"
"Thank you, sir" she said. HE is
bit headstrong, it's true, SIR
The boy looked astonished. He whim-
pered little. The woman patted him
on the head, and there wasn't peep
heard from him from that time until
the Harlem bridge was reached and the
crowd got out.-New York Sun.

Eugh hurriedly lifted his hat and re-
treated.
As he walked down the path and laid
his hand upon the latch Of his own gate
he felt that he was tired no longer. His
body was weary. but somehow his brain
seemed refreshed. Only false step that
had brought him to a new neighbcr's
door, only q momentary glance into a
woman's face, and a food Of new i'm
pressions made him glad, he could not
define why. 1t was perhaps only the un-
expected occurring in q restricted, busy
life that captured his imagination. Or
it might be sense of having stood face
to face with q woman not cut after the
ordinary pattern, as were most Of those
he knew. Whoever she was, from what
ever part of the world she had come to
make her home beside him, she was
very different from the other residents of
Macedon place, and, in some indefina-
BILE way, from any woman he had ever
spoken to.
The light was out in his own hall,
but his dog, waiting for him on the
mat, rose with q welcoming whine and
rubbed himself against his master IS legs.
"Jack, old man." and Hugh stopped
to stroke him, "I'm late and tired and
hungry. Good dog. Come along"
He hung up his coat and hat and
walked down the hall to the dining
room. The light was lowered to an op-
pressive dimness. The fire was mass
of gray ashes except for some expiring
cinders. The table was set for solitary
supper, and in a rocker before the fire,
her sGppered feet on the fender, sat q
young woman, her pale hair rumpled,
stIeaks of tears on her checks and
Moths, face downward, on her lap
Hugh went over, half stopped to kiss
her, then drew back. He saw she was
asleep, and folding his arms he stood
with his grave, gentle eyes fastened up
on her face. How like child she was
The tossed knot of flaxen curls, the
thin, red lips compressed in a grieved
expression, the snub nose, the little fold
ed hands and the wrapper-or "tea
gown" as she called it-were all baby
ish.
Yes, and she had fallen asleep from
excess of weeping, he knew it, like a
child that cries in the darkness for a toy
that is withheld. Such child-and his
wife! A sudden tenderness crept into
his eyes, and he sighed. He pitied her
as she sat there with her helpless little
hands crossed. He had loved her once,
or he had thought so-had loved her as
a boy loves, for the gold in her hair and
the red in her lips, never questioning
what sort of brain lay under the curls
or whether those little hands would in
stinctively find and hold his in his dark
est hours. And now, after six years of
marriage, the glamour that had dazzled
him was gone. She attended to his ma
terial needs excellently, but the deeper
want. the finer hunger of his nature,
was never revealed to her. He worked
and thought alone. She was only the
head of his house and the companion of
his playtime.
And yet had he always been as toler-
ant with her as he might have been:
Had he loved her enough? Poor little
Jennyl Poor little soul! He had disap-
