TT was in the gray of the morning
after Roberts funeral. His widow
sat in the larger of the two rooms that
had lately been their home, silent and
without tears-almost without thought
or memory, too, for the ordeal had left
her capable of little more than the con-
seriousness that he had left her, never
to come back.
Suddenly the first red rays of the
rising sun shot into the room, brighten
ing it perceptibly, in spite of their dull
ing passage through the smoky, city
atmosphere. Slowly her faculties came
back to her, the memory first.
So dim and shadowy were the pic
lures of her childhood that the details
were lost. There was the death of her
father, and later that of the mother.
their home had been. Her struggles
with life after that were shadowy, also,
till she met Robert.
But from that point the memory pen
ell wrought swiftly and wildly. The
courtship, the marriage, the brief vii

big city and the removal from the viii
lage and the birth of the baby. Then
the day of the accident when Robert
was brought home in an ambulance.
He was not seriously hurt, the surgeon
said-though he would have to be alb
sent from the office awhile. But they
had been thrifty and had money in the
bank-much more than enough to tide
them over an idleness of few weeks.
Robert had long needed rest, and now
he could have it. She would care for
him much better than any trained
nurse, and they would still be happy
together.
But Roberts idleness lasted months
instead of weeks. The money in the
bank grew less. They gave up all but
two rooms of their pretty fiat, for econ
omy's sake; and both to economic and
in order that she might be free to give
her whole time to the invalid's care, the
child, now three years old, was put in
charge of sisterhood in "home"
where the cost was only nominal. The

warned.

A gentleman who spent last summer
in the country with his family has two
little boys, who one day wandered into
a pasture in which bull belonging to
neighboring farmer was grazing. AL
though no harm was done, the gentle
man the next day received the follow
ing note from the owner of the bull:
"Sir-You better not let your little
boys gov into the paster with my bull
creature for he is not amiable bull
creature and he might do considerable
damidge if he tost them twenty or thir-
ty feet into the air which would not
be responsible for him not doing II he
took a notion to. So please take no
tice and beware of the bull hereafter"

neighbors were kind, especially Mrs.
elor landlord, who kept the neat phar-
macy on the ground floor and lived on
the second floor alone with his mother,
Just under the fiat where life with Rob-
ert had been so happy.
But now-now she was alone once
more. The happy part of her life was
finished, and she must begin all over
again. Thank Heaven, she was not in
debt. The money had lasted long
enough to pay the doctor and the I'M
dertaker-but there was hardly enough
left to buy the bare food necessary to
support life for one more week. She
took up her fat purse and counted the
few coins it contained. Their small
value reused her. She could not afford
to sit there brooding, that was clear.
Instantly all her faculties were alert.
There was heavy step in the hall
outside and then a knock. 1t was

down awkwardly, as far away from her
as he could.

The first tear since Roberts death
rolled down his widows cheek.
"She says" the landlord-druggist
went on, that you should not live alone
here. She says that she is sometimes
lonely too. She is getting little ole

used to, and sometimes when l am al

He was frequent visitor at the home
of the young lady. He favorab!y i'm

the same gratifying effect upon her

Immersed in his business he was at
home very little of the time, and when
he was he generally betook himself to
his study in quiet corner of the house.
The young man had a dim recollection
of being introduced to him once, and
speaking word or So, but since that
time had not seen him at all. However,
this didn't bother him much, and his
love affair came to focus rapidly.
When he asked the young lady to be-
come his wife she referred him to her
father.
'rll see him tomorrow, DEAR" he
replied.

man, "Pll drop in on him at the Of

The next day he turned up at the
place of business of his idols father.
He knew he was president of the con-
Germ. He made his way into the presi-
dents office and there confronted a very
busy gentleman indeed. Asking for a
moment of the latter's time, he said:

ter's hand"
The man addressed stopped, turned
around and looked at him a moment
and then said: I'm sorry to tell you

Without waiting for an explanation

Boiled Beets.

When the young beets are just right
to boil and are nice and tender, cook a
quantity, slip the skin off as if you were
going TO serve them on the table, but in
stead put them in fruit cans. Fill up
the cans with hot vinegar, to which
you have added little sugar and spice
and seal as in canning fruit. They make
most acceptable relish in the win
