of violets. In one of the boxes there
were a lot of old beads and bracelets,
a. discarded neck Chain and many
useless trinkets-the delight of some
far distant day. In. another box there
was an old photograph of me "a CAL
low looking YOUTH and bundle of
letters: I united them and sat down
comfortably to look them over. I-had
written a lot of high-sounding rubbish
in0 those letters; had made =: many
promises; I had painted many pictures
of what the future was to bring us. Il
had all been very different life full
of drudgery for both, and for her it
must have been a desert. I thought
of the days innumerable and full of
loneliness that she had spent in that
gloomy fat. L put up the letters and
went into the sitting-room. It was two
o'clock, and took a book from its
shelf and lay down upon the sofa in a
vain quest after knowledge. This time
I would set my ears onsguard and read
aloud. remember when i had I'm
ished there was in my consciousness
about this impression of what had
read: -
81 purpose to write the history. of
England from the accession of King
James the Second down to a time that
is within. the memory of men still liv-
ing L shall recount the errors; Good
Lord! have made many errors"
And so it went. One standing near
would have heard the first chapter in,
well-known history of England, but
I heard only the history of my recent
life. I threw the book aside presently
and fell asleep. When 1 awoke it was
near five o'clock. The flat was as dark
and silent as tomb. My wife would
be coming soon, and I thought I would
get the'dinner started. So strung the
beans and pared the potatoes and gotta
fire going. The pots were boiling mer-
rily in a short time, and then spread
the table and got out some of our best
china. : It occurred to me, suddenly,
that few flowers would improve the
looks of the table, and so l hurried
down to a near shop and bought lot of
roses and ferns. On my return
strong odor greeted me at the door,
The water had boiled out of one of the
pots and the beans had. touched bot
tom. The potatoes were also crum bling
ON the verge of dissolution. I made
things move so quickly then that I
scalded my hand with. hot steam. I.
lost my temper for moment and flung
the. empty potato kettle into the. air.
It left it's black footprint on the wall
and came down with mighty crash,
and as it rolled back to me. Kicked 1t
across the room with a remark that
had better be omitted. Then I heard

I looked back through a dozen pages,
but it was all new. had gone as far
as the hundredth page with nothing

the details of my business ever since
I opened the book Suddenly sharp

and ]. took off lot of string beans and
peas and green corn and potatoes and
beefstsak' and butter, and pair of
ducks, and tossed them all into the re-

stopped on her way and left orders for
dinner. She had told me where would
find every thing I needed for my lunch

iieve my loneliness went out for a
kitchen; door on my return than the
whistle spat at me as. il. l had been

@ Guess did, answered: Thought
they belonged here. Hold on min

I rushed to the refrigerator for the
ducks, and as I did so the outline of
4 dialogue that was very loud and
heavy OF one side came echoing up the
shaft. To my horror, 1 discovered that
in tossing the ducks into the ice cham
Der had upset bottle of ketchup and
a bowl of 1nclasses. One of them
looked like a chunk of rusty ircn. Il
gave him bath under the hot water
faucet and rubbed him dry with "a

both into a paper sack and hurled
them into the dumb waiter.

stopped, putting with theviolence of
my effort. Then a wild scream came
up at me through the. shaft, and the
sound of angry voices.
"Please, sor," the woman called
again.
