HER BLACK SILK.
By JULIA FELT KNEELAND

Yes, sir, that there machine will
do the work of a half-dozen men, and
do It quicker and betAcr. I'll have my
have theirs in the cocks" and John
Prince complacently surveyed his
latest purchase
His wife-poor, tired Jennie-stood
In the kitchen door, looking at the
new stacker In dissatisfied manner.
Every year when John went to Den
yer with his cattle he brought her a
new dress, but 1t was never a silk
one. She had asked him again and
again for the much-coveted article,
but was always refused on the score,
that "a farmers wife had no need for
q silk dress" When she went to
church she always took note of the
silk dresses, most of them belonging
to poorer people than herself.
AS she stood thus, In the bright
morning sunshine, a flock Of nearly q
hundred geese issued from the barn
yard and marched past her, on their
way to the irrigation ditch.
John came leisurely up from the
barn.

thought sudden plan formulated IT.
self In her brain. She would have the
money for the feathers herself. Hadn't
she set and tended them? Hadn't she
watched and fed them during the
cold winter? And now she was ex-
pected to pick them! Surely she had
earned the money!
Early Monday morning, John start
ed on a twenty-five mile horseback
ride. to buy calves. and drive them
home. He would be gone all week.
This was her chance. AS soon as he

What q bound Ler heart gave when
the dealer counted the money into her
hands. Fifty-five dollars!
With a smile of exultation Jennie
started for Cousin Kittys. telling
Andy to return home and come after
her on Thursday.

Thursday afternoon the dress was

he will know by night, all about It."
The brown flannel came off and the
silk was put on. How nicely it fitted
her slender figure. Surely John
would not harden his heart toward
her when he saw how beautiful 1t
made her appear!
With faltering step and failing
heart, she crept down the stairs,
across the sitting room and through
the dining-room until she stopped In
the kitchen door.
John had Just hung up the towel.
He turned and looked at her. His face
lighted up with pleasure. Her heart
gave great bound and with joyful
cry, she took a step or two toward
him. He then saw for the first time
that the beautiful dress was silk, and
his face changed to the finty express
sion which she so much dreaded.
Jane Prince, where did you get
this dress?" he said, seizing her by
the arm.
II bought II"
"You bought it; and where did you
get the money!" sarcastically.

tence. John pushed her from him.
Jane Prince. you may wear your silk
dress. bought by trickery and with
stolen money, but you can no longer
be my wife. I'll not forgive you until
my dying day for this base deceit.
I'll not turn you out of the house, for
you've been a good wife to me In the
years that are gone. I'll use the west
bedroom and you stay where you are.
But don't speak to me again until my
dying day. Then and not till then
I'll forgive you"
The days came and the days went;
how, Jennie scarcely knew. Each
seemed harder to endure than the
last. She cooked the meals, placed
them on the table. and then went to
some other part Of the house while
John and Andy ate.
Often she longed to throw her arms
about his neck and beg for forgive
ness, but was afraid Of doing so, lest
she should be denied the measure of
pleasure she had in serving him.
John, too, afte. his temper cooled
and he had time to think the whole
matter out, came to realization of
how meanly he had acted in many
things toward his wife. He thought
Of all his acres and acres of land, of
the money which they brought to him
every year, of the barn and buildings,
Of the machinery, of the horses and
cattle, which he had bought for his
own pleasure, and then he thought
Of all that he mad denied his wife.
Thus the summer and autumn
passed. Early in December, John be-
came violently i'll. Jennie immedi-
ately sent for the doctor, who pro-
nounced 1t pneumonia. Jennie nursed
him day and night, but he grew rap
idly worse. He had now and then q
few lucid moments, one OF these oc-
