the laughing response.
In her piquant way she arranged his

in three months Martha's lips sought
those of her husband.

measures his wife was inflicting.
AS Martha Linton wended her way
homeward her brain was busy with the
tale she had heard. The novelty of
such scheme and the SAVIOR of ro-
nance 1t held lent It a peculiar inter.
est. She had an idea. Things were
growing a little tame-why not test
Henry's love this way?
The mellow, hazy, beautiful October
days wore apace and Henry Linton
congratulated himself on possessing
the most delightful of wives. He was
q happy man at home and was proud
OF her. Business was flattering in its
outlook, all the future seemed fair,
and what more could he wish.
Henry, want sealskin wrap this
winter!" said his wife at breakfast.
A good-humored smile spread over
his features as he listened. Then he
raised his eyebrows in exaggerated
surprise.
you needn't look SO Mortified,
his expressive face.
II am not horrified-l am simply
shocked" he said with assumed gray
ity.
"Indeed!" sarcastically.
Henry Linton went to business
somewhat irritated at the unwOntcd
display of his wifes disagreeableness
but his displeasure wore away before
he reached his Office.
Before he went home he went to a
leading fur establishment and selected
handsome seal garment. He ordered
II laid aside and to be delivered at his
Office before Thanksgiving day.
my bOnny darling shall have her
wrap before cold weather sets in." was
his thought as he went out of the
store He felt happy that he was
able to crafty her wish. A year
previous such expense was not to be
considered. What surprise it would
be!
He found the evening a little dull.
Martha was busy with her fancy work.
Without being actually uncivil she
was wholly engrossed with her own
affairs. The evening was an illustra.
ton of what followed during the week
The days drifted on and Thanksgiving
drew near. There was no change in
Martha's studious demeanor.
At first Linton resented her lack
OF affection. He spoke of 1t frequent
ly. Then pride being aroused, he de-
termined to meet indifference with in
difference. He concluded his intended
gift would not meet with appreciation
II offered while matters were so un.
pleasant. and he ordered 1t for Christ
mas.
Thanksgiving day came and was al
Henry Linton's home CALLED him. Sew
eral times he sought by cheerfulness
and playful affection to bring about
