terrain company and pursue the ordi-
nary avocations of life, with the excep.
ton that no word ever passes the lips OF
one which Is addressed to the other, The
cause of the rupture has been known tic
the neighbors of the Schrieber family
and the sedate residents of German
town for many years. The old couple
are now both seventy years of age.
They have two sons, John, who lived
with his wife and child in the same
nouse with his silent parents, and
Charles, who is also happily married,
and who also resides in Germantown.
Then there is widowed daughter liy-
ing under the same roof that shelters
her father and mother, and another
married daughter, who lives about
mile from the Schrieber house. These
.our have grown to manhood and wom-
anhood under the shadow of the cloud
which began to form when they were
children. They are all past their youth
now, and their own children are grow
ing up about them.
John Schrieber, who Is now gray
bearded and gray-haired, is still big,
powerful looking man, though he is
over 70. He was very handsome
young man so years ago when he took
his pretty young wife home to the fam
lily residence. She was an Unruh,
buxom, pink-cheeked, bright-eyed girl,
with goodly marriage portion, and
she had many suitors for her hand.
But the big flashing joan Schrieber
won her heart and led her home in
triumph as his bride. The Unruhs and
the Schriebers were of good old Dutch
stock, and all were Baptists. The
young couple We're we'll provided for az
matters were considered in those days.
and Schrieber has since amassed con-
siderable wealth in his business, which
is now almost entirely in his sons
hands. For 20 years they lived togeth-
err with as much happiness as comes to
ordinary mortals. Their children were
born and grew to youth and maiden
hood, and no special sorrow or suffer
ing seemed to fall upon the family.
1t semed as though some special Provi-
dence guarded the household. Perhaps
it was this freedom from care and mis-
fortune which fastened the breach.
Sorrow often knits family affection in
to a cable so strong that the force of
world could not break it, and wealth
and happiness often weaken the ties.
The cloud formed in the blue sky
over the stricken home. At first it was
almost imperceptible, then it grew dali
ly and hourly, strengthened by pride
on both sides, by recrimination and
accusation, by tears and angry words
Then it settled into a great pail of 81
lence between husband wife, father and
mother. The two roads joined at the
altar for better or for worse separated,
the two lives that had been made one
were broken asunder, and under one
roof these two people took up their
lives more terribly apart than if they
were divided by leagues Of land and
sea.
Life at the Schrieber house goes on
now in a regular routine day after day.
To the outside world it would seem as

A PASTEL PORTRAIT.

The picture was charming. There
was no denying that. Frank HARDWOOD
stood at the window of the shop and
stared in at it, as he had done every
day for the last week. The execution
of the work was notdanltless. Some
crudities marred it, buPfhe ensemble
was bewitching.
The face-that ct girl in the first
fresh bloom OF maidenhood- looked
back at you over one mistily-draped
white shoulder. The liquid eyes were
laughter-lit the slightly-parted scarlet
lips had shy droop, there was little,
round dimple in the chin, the hair that
melted into the soft gown and dusky
background was windbloWn tangle
of reddish gold.

out the whirling snowfakes behind
him.
Is that picture-the pastel portrait
in the window-for sale?" he inquired.

But when the rising young barrister

The following good words from
Henry Wallace recently appeared in
Wallace's Farmer A few years ago
the editor of this paper desired to carry
some life insurance, and after looking
the matter up carefully took five
thousand dollar policy in the Des
Moines Life Association. Their plan
seemed to avoid the excessive cost of
old line insurance, and by providing a
reasonable reserve it seems to over
come the danger incident to post
mortem assessment life insurance. As
a member of the Des NIoines Life
Association we have been pleased to
note it's large substantial growth;
especially in seasons of such general
business adversely. The insurance in
force, deposit of securities with the
auditor of state and general assets all
showed large increase during S95.
