THE SLEIGH RIDE.

merry smile told Of her enjoyment Of
the ride. On learning the state of at
fairs regarding the trains, be said:
swell, wife. it's no use fretting; there
maynt be train till noon. Let's &C
home and get the children and have
Jolly sleigh-ride. 1t will be real lark
to have an extra morning with them
Here, Jones, jump in and we'll take you
home"
Mr.. Jones climbed into the sleigh
well pleased to be saved the laborious
walk home. But what affected him
most was the unaffected good hum'1
of his friend and his friends wife
Both were enthusiastically remarking
on the beauty Of the morning. the trees
covered with icicles to the tip OF every
slender. leahess branch; on the bright
ness and intense blue Of the sky: on
the feathery snowdrifts piled on every
side. Mr.. Jones had noticed none of
these things; he had been affected only
by the inconvenience of the walking
and the loss Of his day in the city. But
such good humor rs that shown by his
neighbors was contagious. and, since
his attention was directed to 1t. he real
lied that the snow-covered landscape
was truly magnificent. mo artist

were all the art galleries Of the word
compared to this?'
By the time Mr.. Jones was set down
at his own door, his feelings had un.
dergore an entire change. He felt
ashamed Of his petulance. and especial
" of the slap he had given Robbie. He
determined to find the little fellow and
make the best amends he could. lie
also felt glow Of kindly sympathy for
his wife In her care for the babies that
wa. somewhat unusual to the hurried
business man. Yet he shrank from

quite ready to acknowledge the mean.

the morning. so he decided to 60

still very cold. ard make detour
through the basement and kitchen to
look ut the furnace.
In the kitchen Bridget. who had long
been the faithful maid OF oil work.
stood gazing into the cooking stove,
where smouldered a few black dying
Goals. Her countenance wore an ex-
preston that was q mixture Of distress
and anger. An hour before Mr.. Jones
would have begun at once to rate her
sharply for her badly prepared break
fast. but now he only said:
"yhy, Bridget. what's the matter
with the stove?"'

rs the CRATE that's broken and dropped
down that chokes the fire. A poor gell
can't do any cooking on that stove"
Mr.. Jones' conscience pricked him.
His wife had told him several times
about the broken CRATE; had written
down the name and number OF the
stove, and begged him send it from the
city but he hnd forgotten IT, He saw
the imno.sibility Of doing any good
work with such poor instrument as
this. aud then be said:

fool and threatening him with dis
missal he only said kindly:
"Well, Hans, let me 60 upstairs and
get an old coat and we'll see what's the
matter"
When Mrs. Jones saw Mr.. Jones COM
ing up the stairs her heart sank within
her. She OWNED what was the reason
Of his return. but what with the baby
crying, Robbie still undressed. the
house cold and Bridget in a temper and
ecing to leave, she felt utterly over
whelmed. and felt also that her hus-
banda presence would only add to the
perpsexity of the situation. She had
never been accustomed to special help
or sympathy from him in her household
>roubles, and 50 she regarded him as he
entered the room with eyes that were
half inquiring and half resentful.
Hello, Robbie, hurry up and get
dressed and maybe We'll take sleigh
ride" was Mr.. Jones first rather sheep
ish yet altogether pleasant remark ad'
dressed to the little fellow who had
started 10 run to his mother on first
sight of his father. "And wife, be
continued, "as can't get to the city this
morning | believe l will just stay at
liome oil day and see If can't fix up
few things. l am going down now to
help old Hans find out what is the mat
ter with the furnace"
Mrs. Jones' surprise was judicious]y
concealed while Mr.. Jones donned some
old clothes, and then disappeared into
the basement. Two hands proved bet
ter than one, and when muin strength
had dug out lot of impacted clinkers.
the furnace CRATE swung easily on its
pivot and old Hans face was lit up with
pleasure. In little time the furnace
began to glow and pleasant warmth
to diffuse itself through the house.
bridget was instructed not to worry
trying to make fire In the kitchen
stove, as Mr.. Jones expressed the in
tention of having new one before
noon If suitable one could be bought
in Jonesville. With bright face she
had gone upstairs and informed her
mistress of Mr.. Jones intentions in
regard to the stove and the pump, and
had said that she would like to with
draw her warning"
The comfortable glow of the doctored
furnace was, however, a small circnm-
stance compared with the comfortable
glow Of the household atmosphere when
MIR. Jones again appeared in his wife's
room. What a transformation from
the chill, petulant, misery-begetting do
mestic atmosphere OF the early morn
ing. Robbie with the sweet forgive
ness Of childhood held up his little face
for kiss and asked about the sleigh
ride. The baby, soothed by the warmth,
had dropped of asleep. and Mrs. Jones
cheeks grew pink and her eyes bright
under the genial looks and conduct OF
Mr.. Jones. Ar. e.,
