"H'm!' murmured Mr.. Junius from
his paper. "A nan falls dead while
smoking his pipe, and'-
"There!' cried Mrs. Junius, raising
her needle and voice with the same ges-
ture. "Isn't that what I've always said?
And yet you will 60 on, day after day,
with those horrid old cigars and me
shaving my life away doing up lace cur
tains that mother gave us out Of the
very money she saved up with her OWL
hands keeping hens, and hard enough,
too, I can tell you, with eggs only a
cent each the very moment hens began
laying as they ought to-, and I'd like to
know where you think you'll land,
Julius Junius, if you keep On smoking
your life away? Oh, but it is only a
step-and for PHYS sake I wish you'd
some caller trips over it and breaks the
knob with her homeland you know
I've begged you Oh my Bonded knees to
leave off before it's too late and not die
suddenly, like this man you're reading
about, with your life insurance run out,
and bringing everlasting disgrace Oh
your wife's family. But what q provok'
ing creature you are, julius Junius, to
sit there grinning and refusing to say a
word, and you know l want to hear the
rest of the particulars just as well as
you do"
AS his wife stopped to coal up MI.
Junius laid down the paper.
"The mar was SO years DID," he said
softly. Somebody put a cartridge in
iis pipe for a joke, and it went off and
shot him."
And when Mr.. Junius came in from
the evening club his wife was still flow
