Now and then lie ordered her around.
Once she protested vehemently; he looked
at her and answered, You forget you
belong to me-"
He gave her all the money she wanted,
bought her anything she fancied and in
sisted upon her dressing richly and in
dulging extravagances, but once, when
she received check for story she had
written, he tore the bit of paper in pieces,
saying: 81 will give you all the money
you want Don't forgetw
She was happy-oh, yes. Her one
thought was to please him, and to please
him made her happy. She gave up all
her own fancies and endeavored only to
meet his moods. She kept up all Of the
pretty petulance and caprice that had
pleased him originally, because some
times 1t amused him to see her childish
and exacting-she knew when to be ST.
lent, though, and how to efface herself.
She read the papers faithfully, and by
dint of study and close attention to few
political arguments within earshot of
which she came she got a fair grasp Of
the principles of the party opposite to her
husbands and argued with him very well.
To such men as he presented she made
herself charming-he liked to have other
men admire her; herself, she took no in
terest In attracting them, and she was
always a bit afraid of being too success
full and so annoying her husband. Be
sides attention from other men made her
heart ache; her husband loved her dearly,
but he did not tell her so very often, and
sometimes when she made mistakes he
called her stupid
OF course she did make mistakes some
times. Being very anxious to please him
her instinct was not always true. There
were times when he liked to have her
creep to the side of his chair and push
her soft hair against his face, saying
nothing meanwhile, unless the little ca
ressing breath from her lips could be
called speech, but then again this an
noyed him, and he had to be let alone.
Being very fond of him, 1t was hard to
come near or pass him without reaching
out hand to touch his shoulder or cheek,
and this fretted him dreadfully when he
was not in the mood. Also there were
times when she wanted him to take her
in his arms and be good to her and find
out how she felt, or when she wanted to
cry and be miserable and be pettsd and
coaxed out of it; all this was childish and
foolish. but-oh, dear, how her heart
ached sometimes.
He loved her-of course she knew that
so there was no need that he should tell
her so all the time; besides, he did tell
her what an unfailingly attractive COM
panion he found her, and he praised her
tact and sense and the way she kept her
pretty looks.
She was happy when she was with him.
only happy when she pleased him, and
she used to cry her pillow wet very often
At the coming of the child her husband
was distinctly displeased; when it died
the mother grew sullen.
They got back to America letter
from her old manager Enclosed a contract
for the coming season. She signed, left
all her jewels and with her maid started
for New Orleans.

Tit For Tat.

The correspondence was brief, but to
the point The letter she received was
as follows:
Dear Madam take pleasure in shipping to
your address rug valued at $50, for which
shall be glad to receive your check. If you do not
desire the rug, please return it.
'gThe idear' she exclaimed. 81 never
knew such impertinence."
Then she sat down and wrote the
following:
Dear Sir-I have ordered no rug from your es
tablishment and see no reason why should go
to the expense of returning that which do not
want and which was sent to me unsolicited.
To this she received the following
answer In due time:
Dear Madam will send for the unsolicited
rug, and | trust you will do me the favor to
send for the unsolicited charity entertainment
tickets which now lie, with about % Others, on
my desk.

expression she wore when controlling a
delirious patient she went down stairs.
Harold was asleep when she came into
the room, and he looked boyish, even
with six weeks growth of silky beard
on his chin. "What a fool was to think
the boy could be happy with me, or
wouldn't hate me in a year." she thought
and laughed grimly.
The next day Harold was well enough
to be dressed and wheeled out on the
yeranda. 1t was a June morning, and
Violet Grant came up the path with her
arms full of roses.
II overheard you say you liked roses
better than violets, Harold" she said
simply, "and, oh, am so glad to see you
getting well"
Harold took both her hands and
pressed them warmly, reddening suddenly
with something like shame.
Miss Wade came out just then with a
magazine in her hand and declared she
would have to read them a story, else
they would talk too much for her pa
TENTS good. So Violet produced a bit of
embroidery and Harold learned back
luxuriously in his chair and quietly
studied the two before him.
Violet was small and very fair, with
family pink cheeks which blushed easily
and prettiiy. and big blue eyes that had
never lost their baby expression of depth
and innocence. Her hands were very small
and slender and handled her embroidery
floss as though meant for such work only.
She wore pale pink muslin that foated
about her softly, making it seem as
though she perched on her chair like a
butterfly. One tiny pointed toe tapped
the floor as she rocked back and forth.
The big blue eyes sought Harold's and
smiled frankly and happily, while the col

Harold answered the smile and turned
embarrassed toward the reader. In her

Do you call my face a rose,

Find truer name than this
For the brow and lips you kiss.
For you know that roses die
In the autumn Of the year,
And beside you, love, must
Front The frost and face the snowA

Ones too near, and ones too far.
Pm no pebble and no pearl,
But a living, loving girl.
Mouth to kiss you, hand to keep
Touch with you while you're asleep.
Eye to kindle when you're glad,
Hope to climb where you would creep,
Tongue to comfort when you're sad.
Call me wife and comrade, dear;
Call me neither star nor rose.
Then the day ] need not dread
When The snow falls on my head;
Then my soul to yours shall be
Changeless, though my beauty goes,
And the eyes / love not see
Youth and grace forsaking me
As the bees forsake a rose
When the wind of autumn blows,
Soul on soul looks in and knows
All that's best OF you and me.

DAYBREAK.
A client mastering Of fairy hosts,

A silent mastering Of fairy hosts,
sudden bugle blast of rose and gold,
Then gauzy pennants airily unrolled
Ger maching shadows, like departing ghosts
Vast, purple legions, with pale stars besprent,
Flying adown the crimson range of dawn;
Arrows of light, from unseen quiyers drawn,
Piercing the west unanswering and unspent.
Outriders, gorgeous as the ancient dons,
Waking the hills to quickening minstrelsy,
So, like the vision that dreamer cons,
Burst into bloom Of rich reality,
Speeds from Nights valley in her bright array,
Blushing Aurora, with her coursing swans.

To soothe the hearts now sore,

Costly Wines.

Our millionaires think $75 a gallon
for rare old Madeira an utterly impos-
sible price simply because their tastes
are blunted by champagne, and they
care no more for a bottle of Welsh Re-
serve, Newton Gordon or Chillings-
worth Oglethorpe than for a cheap
sherry. In the famous cellars of the
Hotel de Vile at Bremen there are a
dozen cases of holy wine which have
been preserved for $50 years. A mer-
chant figures out that if the cost of
maintaining the cellars, payment of
rent, interest upon the original value of
the wine and other incidental charges
are considered a bottle of this choice
Madeira has cost no less than $1,000
900, each glassful $270,000 and single
drop could not be sold without loss I'M
der 5000.
1t is probable that this very old wine
is worthless on account of starvation"
Charles Bellows, our ablest authority
on Madeira, says that it becomes
starved" after feeding upon its own
lees for 30 or 40 years. ut seems to
me that it is very human and requires
companionship." he says. "Demijohns
of the same variety should be blended.
The marriage of the two wines would
probably give the lees more character,
and the wine would thus continue to
improve. This certainly ought to be
done as a tonic after the Madeira has
been so years in glass. New York

RAILWAY WAGE SCALE.
Equitable Arrangements for New
Jersey Central Trainmen.

New York. Jan. 26-After neGotia-
tons since the first of last May for a
new wage scale on the Central Railway
of New Jersey. the board of federation
representing the brotherhood of locomo-
tive engineers, conductors tiremen,
brakemen and telegraph operators. have
secured a new agreement for the pay Of
the conductors. 1t is expected that the
new wage scale will also be adjusted
satisfactorily to the members of the
other brotherhOOdS before Feb. |. Under
the terms of the wage scale for con-
ductors it is provided that the men en-
ployed on freight and coal trains shall
lie entitled to ten hour day and all
time over that shall be paid for at the
rate of % cents an hour.
a 12-hour work day is provided for the
pa ssenger conductors with pay at 1925
per day. A run of $50 miles is to be con-
sidered as ten hours time. Extra pay is
to be given for every minute over Il
hours service. whereas formerly a con-
ductor had to work 81 minutes before
overtime pay was allowed him. 1t is
also stipulated that the oldest men in
the service of the company shall have

would mean the direct employment of
200, 900 men in shipbuiding operations,
besides the immense direct aid that 1t
would give to all lines, OF iron and steel
production in this country.
AS To the adequacy OF the present
measure to meet the requirements Of
the case, Mr.. Depew said it was. to his
mind as fair a solution of the problem
as could be devised at present.
ut is estimated" said Senator Depew,
that there is paid by American pro-
ducers to foreign ship owners in freight
charges at least $155. 600 year. Four
per cent on this would give us an Amerl-
can merchant marine and the expendi-
ture of a much larger part OF this money
In our own country
1t is undoubtedly true. said Senator
DepeW in conclusion, that American
ocean liners We're more expensive to
build and maintain than those of for
eign countries. Without subsidies, they
We're operated at loss. II. with the
small subsidy proposed. they would yield
enormous profits, as some opponents of
the shipping bill declared, there would
be an abundance of money flow into the
business TO take advantage
of this fresh opportunity for prof aoe

Finally he said
with the construction Of the N.ca-
ragua canal. which will be completed
within the next few years. the necessity
for an auxiliary fleet and a merchant
marine becomes still greater. Whether
we look at this question as a matter of
