Horatio looked at it round the edge
OF his newspaper and experienced his
old feeling of pride in Martha. He
was thinking that Martha was young
enough. Martha was As, too.
How much will you need, dear?''
The dear" went with the little thrill
Of admiration.

ney was a little more tired than
usual. The care lines were deeper in
his plain face.
Mrs. Whitney dropped her work
INTO her lap and peered round the
drop-lamp at her husband. Horatio
might be growing old and deaf, but
she did not like to think he was grow
ing stlngy. Fifteen ?-why, she had
always had to stretch the $40!

minded her. A little thrill ran over
her, for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat.
1t was not distinguishably different,
either, in style-queer that Is years
should make SO. little change!
Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it no
quarter. She saw all its fadedness
and meanness, and the listless, de-
jected sag of it. It gave her start
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatio's clothes. They were always
whole-Heratio had always been
easy" on his things. There was
rarely anything to mend.
But now-the contrast between the
spruce, new coats in the window and
Horatio's coat! Between the sleek
hats set jauntily on the staring
painted heads of the window-dum-
mics and the faded, worn one plant
ed squarely on Horatio's gray hair!
Martha's heart misgave her at the
contrast. She did not want to look.
but looked on steadily.
Horatio was looking at the dray-
man. His bent shabby shoulders
were "back to" the great window.
Horatio never looked in show win
dows.
when you get through looking at
the styles, my dear, we'll go on.
That's fellows taken his time, but
he's out O. the way now"
1t was Horatio's voice in her ear
and Martha started with an odd
sense of confusion and guilt. She
went on down the street trying to
joke herself at ease again, but her
thoughts ran on persistently in a per-
turbed undercurrent. The gray over
coat that had reminded her-she
could not get it out of her sight.
Gray had been so becoming to Hora-
ito Is years ago-Martha had chosen
that color herself for his wedding
overcoat." And she had had APPLE
buds in her wedding bonnet because
pink and gray were so beautiful to-
gcther.
Martha reused herself al madame's.
There" she cried, that little beauty
on the extreme left-don't tell me
you don't like it!' She was laugh
ing a trifie breathlessly. Her eyes
were on his face.
Isn't it little gem, Horatio?"
Yes, oh, yes, Martha, l like it,

Il thought it would" she laughed,
softly, with the tremor still running
through her voice. Its very much

After a little he went on alone,
down the street.
Martha stood watching him. 'Ho-
ratios all stopped over He works
too hard. / never knew he was get
ting SO stoopy. He used to be
straight enough" She glanced in at
the Easter bonnet, as if it reminded
her of the time when Horatio had
been straight.
Easter Sunday dawned clear and
perfect. Martha woke to the trill
OF Easter carols outside her window.
A myriad of little birds seemed w
ing with each other to celebrate His
rising. The jubilant chorus filled all
the air.
"I'm thankful it's pleasant,
thought Martha. 81 want it to be
pleasant to-day" She went about
her morning. duties with a light
heart. At breakfast she chartered

"Horatio, you're going to church
with me to-day-I thought you might
like to know!"
mo, no, Martha" he said, hastily;
II guess ! won't 60 to-day-not to-
day."
Il said you were going!" she
laughed. Didn't you promise to
love, honor and obey Is years ago?
I'm through marching off to church

"But I'm tired, Martha. Pm going
to stay at home and get rested up
for tomorrow
You were tired last Sunday, and
the Sunday before, and the Sunday
before that"
Yes, / know-I guess I'm always
tired, Martha"
"Then you must go to church and
rest. Horatio Whitney, do you know
how long ago it was that you went
to church with me?''
No, | don't. Don't reckon,
