Awful Tragedy in the Life OF John War
wick.
There was hard look in John War
wick's eyes, but it was also look Of
triumph. He bent oYer his desk and
worked steadily for an hour without
saying & word to any of his associates.
Finally one of the boys asked HIM
what had happened.
"Oh, it's only little domestic flare
up" he said, but guess it will turn out
all right"
Upon being pressed to relate the na-
ture of the trouble, Warwick said:
my wife got n pair of bloomers last
week, intending to go out to-day for a
50-mile ride. Now, / have always de-
clared that L would not permit my wife
to be seen in public with a rig of that
kind upon her person and / proceeded
early this morning to show that was
man Of my word. got hold of those
bloomers and locked them in my trunk.
Here he concluded, defantly slappng
his hip pocket, lis the key."
Every man in the office congratulated
Warwick upon the stand he had taken.
lliS thipioycl, a Niuoty olu lcilOW WHO
seldom spoke to the young men in the
service, came around and told him in
an undertone that his salary would be
raised at once, as it was evident that he
was person of sterling worth.
When the days worl: was ended, John
Warwick went home with light heart.
The announcement of his prosperity, he
reckoned, would patch up friendly re-
lations with his wife, and visions of
future happiness foated before him.
But, alasl the door was locked and The
place seemed to be deserted! He sat
down upon the porch and waited for an
hour, but the woman he loved did not
return. Then he thought he would put
on his old blue overalls and dig around
in his little garden. He felt that he
needed exercise.
The key to the kitchen door was under
the mat, and he was soon rummaging
the clothes closet in search Of his over
alls. They could not be found. At last
he entered his wife's sewing-room, and
there, upon the floor, lay the southern
extremeties of the suit that had in DAYS
gone by served him SO well and faith
fully. They had been cut off at the
knees!
John Warwick buried his face in his
hands and wept in wild espair.-Cleye-

In the grave gray eyes that were raised

THE REDEEMING ACT.

Dave was q coward and he ALWAYS
bore the reputation of arrant cow
ardice ever since he had crawled over
the side of the dugout cradle to wallow
along with the underfoot world of the
white sand before his parents cabin
door. Though country born and bred,
passing thunderstorm struck him
with terror, and the sight of the black
waters D. the 'crick" caused a remarka-
BILE agitation of the knees. He was a
coward, pure and simple. The bristling
of coon routed him Internationally
and determined 'possum could rob the
hen roost before his very face. Indeed,
Dave was coward, and his cousin, Sue
Spivey, laughed uproariously when the
poor fellow perpetrated his initial and
only act of boasting. He had said to her
one day very solemnly and no doubt
sincerely:
Toe purtec yo' honah an happiness
I'd th'ow away my wuthless life."
Ordinarily Dawes speech was unpol-
ished and provincial, but on this occa-
sion it rose to the dignity of what he
felt the occasion demanded.
She knew full well his timorous dis
position, and would have thought it
safe to count on his poltroonery in any
event. Eut day was sadly near which
proved to her the full worth of the poor
fellows grandiloquent assertion.
Long before the late unpleasantness,
and until this day, Honeypath was only
a siding where occasional trains took
water and passed each other. Two or
three log shanties, without special pre-
tensions to any architectural dissimi-
larity, marked the site of the tow n,
distinguishing it from the vast area of
impenetrable swamp that backed it
and the arid waste of sandy bottom
through which the glistening, polished
rails of the grand trunk line writhed
and sinuated.
Dave was a native of Honeypath and
lived with an aged father in one of the
shanties Sue dwelt with her father in
another near by. Dawes father was a
hot-blooded southerner, whose patriot
ism answered to the rirst call to arms,
but Dave was timid, fearful of the smell
of powder and refrained from action,
preferring to suffer the opprobrious
epithets which were literally bestowed
upon him and the contempt of the coun-
try generally to facing he knew not
what horror upon the battlefield. lie
was not philosopher and could rot
Dlead in eXtenuation of his neutrality
that the martial slaughter of his brother
man was a crime and that the wholesale
sacrifice of human life was immoral.
Dave was simply coward and ac-
cepted meelIly the obloquy which the
condition imposed, not even the taunts
and cutting sarcasm of the pretty Sue
Spivey being able to rouse the instincts
of battle in his craven soul.
Before the strife was ended Sues
mother was gathered to her final rest,
being put out of sight in the little sand
graveyard, with only the comment CT
