When Ezra SpriggiHS'S Crouch Failed
Him.

After the stock had been seen
to for the night, the hen house
door locked, and the woodboX
filled with chunks, Ezra and
Cindy sat down to supper. The
biscuits were never lighter, the
tea never more savory; as for
the sausages they had never
reached such perfect seal
brown before. Ezra had saw
to file. knot to split, a bone
to pick, and some fault to
find about something or other.
He couldn't help It; he had
spent so much time in Perkins's
cheap cash-and barter tore
hearing the family grievances
of the entire reighborhood that
he was soaked with the spirit
of unrest and wanted to
crouch. He was too proud TO
air his family troubles at the
store, so he must give vent to
his pentup emotions at home.
And Cindy was always ready
for him.
"Cindy," said he, as he bal
anced his spoon on the edge of
the saucer, don't you think our
boy Joe is goin' it leetle, jist
a leetle swift O. later"
Cindy shifted and said: "P'r-

on he'd ever seen"
Ezra's spoon fell with a clink
to the floor, and he brushed
away the cat as he picked it up.
The supper proceeded nicely
after that, and the old man did
justice to the aaky white bis
butts, the seal brown sausages,
and he also drank three cups OF
tea-aud two was his regular
stint; not alone that-but he
put four Jumps of sugar in the
last cup. Cindy noted it and
smiled behind her hand az she

Ezra didn't say anything further
about Joe until after the table
had been cleared, the dishes
washed, and the stove loaded
COR the night. He rut on his
carpet slippers, hitched his
chair closer to the fire, twid
died his thumbs, and looked in.

That was d pretty long re-
mark Tor Cindy, and it opened
Ezra's eyes. He leaned forward
stared at her. and finally said:
'Hain't castin' no Elections

Il don't never do SIGH things.
What l say say, and let it go
at that. Ezra, | ben wantin'
to tell you a secret"
Goodness! An how long
have ye kept it?'
Two months uttered Cildy
as she plucked at the fringe OF
her little shoulder shawl.
The old mans eyes opened
wider than ever; he hemmed
anu hawed, pushed back his
chair, then back again to the
stove. After playing d tattoo
upon the oil cloth with che
toes OF his slippers lie finally
said:
Il don't like to pry into the

Yes; jist forty years ago to-

He started and looked at the
fond face closer. The deep
lines of toll went away, the
eyes grew brighter, and the
silvery hair turned to brown. A
mist came before his eyes, and
he heard the sound OF music
wedding music, as his eyes rest
ed upon her face. She turned
her eyes 10 his face, and she.
too, started. The face grew
young again, the thick cluster
ing chestnut hair came down
over the bald places above the
ears. The lines about the
mouth passed away and the old
and tender look came into the
eyes. The clock licked on and
on; the cat sidled from one
chair to the other as the two
old people sat there in the glow
of the freight. After a spell
Ezra found his voice again and
softly said as he leaned his
hand upon her's-it felt warm
