'CILAS," said Mrs. Limkins, as she

herself face to face with Mr.. Limkins;
81 have something to say to you. Put
down that paper; l want your whole at
tention."
Mr.. Limkins reversed the cross of his
legs, and shifting his paper slightly so
as to cover his face, continued to read.
81 want you to wake up little" con-
tinued Mrs. Limllins. You are the
most stupid man in this town. You
come home from the office at night, eat
your supper, smoke, read your paper
and go to bed; eat your breakfast in
the morning and go to the office. You
come home again at night eat your
supper, smoke read your paper, go to
bed; and so it goes day after day.
don't get dozen words out of you, day
in and day out, and you do not even
want to listen to me, when | talk. II
/ want to go out anywhere in the even
ing. ! have to go alone. You have al
ways some excuse for staying at home.
If l invite my friends here, you have
usually some business that takes you
out. My friends never see you with
me, and hardly know have a husband
This sort of life may suit you, but
it does not suit me. You have your
business and other things to interest
you during the day, ! suppose, while
am shut up here in the mousse; and
when you come home in the evening
want something else besides supper
smoke and Tribune. Now | intend to
make a change" Here Mrs. LmEins
deity took the paper from Mr.. Linn
kins. and rolling il up in her hands
proceeded to use it to point off her re-
marks
Mr.. Limkins yawned submissively,
dumped the ashes from his cigar into
the silver card tray, and settled himself
as comfortably as possible to wait for
the end. Mr.. Limkins had heard these
remarks many times before; he knew
the story from beginning to end, and
also knew it was useless to try to es-
cape any part or defend himself in any
way. Experience had taught him that
| it was best to sit quietly and take it
remaining silent to the end.
"Silas," continued Mrs. Lmllins.
