But even while her cheeks were
wet with tears. and her heart as heavy

the fatal letter within her trembling

Mrs. Maynard never paused to con
slider the sense or wisdom of this de
cision, but acted promptly upon it
She took the train which left Green
which at six o'clock, and reached her
own door at half past eight Thurs day
evening.
To her establishment there was no
sign of festivity going on within-no
light at any window-no boisterous
voices, nor clink of wine glasses; and
when she walked majestically into
the house, she found Carl sitting alone
in the library, reading the evening
news.
"Why, Eunicen' he cried, throwing
the paper aside and running to meet
her. This is an unexpected pleas
ure."
Carl - faltered his wife, almost
falling into his extended arms.
He drew her close, kissing her trem-
bling lips.

ooh, no. Only thought Carl-are
you really glad to see me?'
Indeed l am, you naughty truant.

what surprise -
"You shall see. Come and inspect"
He opened the door which led to the
front of the house. Here Eunice saw
piles of newly dug earth, many lengths
of sewer pipe, a great bronze basin,
and several tall, bulky objects prop
ped against the trees and shrouded
in white canvas.
Carl" cried Eurice, what does
this mean?'
You are to have your fountain and
statuettes, my darling" said Mr..
Maynard. 81 found they would not
cost very much, after all, SO Brynne
the plumber, went to work at the job
early this morning, and it was to have
been finished before you returned
Eunice burst into tears.
"Oh, Carl she sobDed. Il have
been so mean and foolish-have
thought such dreadful things about
you" And she gave him her sisters
letter.
Carl read it with merry twinkle
in his handsome dark eyes.
II am sure said he, Il am much
obliged to Susan for her good opinion
of me-"
"But, Carl" faltered Eunice, 81

We'll, dear" he replied, you will

So they kissed and made up, and
drove the skeleton out of the cup
board, and all was sunshine once more.
But Sister Susie never came to the
little palace again, nor was she missed
by her brother-in-law.

NOAH ISS4VED.

The rain had been coming down al
most in a cloud-burst for several days
and the gulches were filled with rush
ing torrents. The Ozark mountains
lay in mist, dense as ID fog on the
banks of Newfoundland, says the
Detroit Free Press. Word came to
town that many of the lowland dwell
ers were in need of help and rescue
parties were organized. In one of the
hollows the rescuers met another
Noah. He was seated upon the root
of his house, with a pig, hens, rOosters,
ducks and turkeys.

busy gettin' up the stock that didn't
have time to take keer on her.
They rowed over to the barn, and
there, sure enough, was his wife, SO
overcome with cold that she could
hardly speak, and had to be almost
carried into the large fiatboat.
ANY one else around here?" sternly
asked one of the rescuers.

But the party rowed away, paying
no heed to the sinful Noah's solicitude
for his live stock and thoroughly dis
gusted with his Indifference for his
better half whom he left to look after
herself.

THE POSTMASTER,S TRIAL.

1t was typical mountaineer, from
his stout brogan to his wool hat, and
he had walked to neighboring town
to visit relatives. 1t was his first visit
away from his home. The second day
after he arrived he went to the post
office to get letter from his girl. He
was sure it would be there, as she had
tearfully told him she would write
him while he was away.
Air thar any mail fer me?n he in
quired of the postmaster.
What's your name?' was the in
quiry.

81 say, what's your name?" asked
the postmaster, in little more posi-
tive manner.
Louder"
81 say, what's your name?" yelled
the postmaster, sticking his head
through the window into the face of
the young man.
why, drat your ugly face, I've
told you three times my name was

Their Gov'ment I'd crawl over thar
and pick your ears. Soon as man

begins to put on airs, and I'm not one

The postmaster fished out letter
from musty hole and gave it to him,
although he was mad himself.

DONTGIVE Up

Sorrow came to you yesterday and
emptied your home. Your first i'm
pulse now is to give up and sit down
in despair amid the wrecks of your
hopes. But you dare not do it. You
are in the line of battle, and the crisis
is at hand. To falter moment would
be to imperil some holy interest. Other
lives would be harmed by your paus-
ing. Holy interests would suffer
should your hands be folded. You
must not linger even to indulge your
grief. Sorrows are but incidents in
life and must not interrupt us. We
must leave them behind, while we
press on to the things that are before.
Then God has so ordered, too, that in
pressing on in duty we shall find the
truest, richest comfort for ourselves
Sitting down to brood over our sor
rows, the darkness deepens about us
and creeps into our hearts, and our
strength changes to weakness. But,
if we turn away from the gloom and
take up the tasks and duties to which
God calls us, the light will come again,
and we shall grow stronger.

AGE SAVES SHOE LEATHER.

A New Yorker of middlelife has dis
covered that the older he grows, the
longer he wears his shoes, and conse-
quently the less is his shoe bill. As q
young man he wore out at least four
pairs a year. Two now suffice him,
without tapping or any repairing.
The thinnest of single soles now wear
twice as long as double soles did. He
walks quite as much as he ever did,
but his tread is less heavy, and that
is why his shoes wear longer.
His experience is that of others
who have reached his years. The
younger a child is, the sooner he will
wear out his shoes. All fathers and
mothers will agree to that.
