Bills Faded Wife.

Bill Sinclair and wife were In
town the other day. 1t WAS the
first time Bills wife had been able
to get away since last spring. She
had the baby with her and three OF
the other children chung to her dress
asking questions She looked a long
time at washing machine that
stood in front of hardware store.
She had been wanting one for long
time. With five hearty children and
two men to cook and wash for, she
was often completely worn out by
noon on wash days, from bending
over the old washboard. There was
a Jagged edge in the zinc on which
she sometime cut her knuckes. but
Bill thought she had better try and
get along wish 1t while. "If they
bought every new tangled thing that
came along" be told her, "they d
land In the poor house yet with all
them children to feed and clothe."
So she passed BY the washing ma.
chine with sigh. Her handful Of
shopping was soon done and she had
nothing to do but walt for Bill. She
had no place to go and rest and she
wandered YEARLY up and down the
street carrying the heavy baby and
trying to hush the children when they
teased for a nickle to buy candy. |
The butter and eggs she brought in |
barely paid the grocery bill and there
was no money for candy, though she
would like to have got It for them.
Every now and then she hurried back
to the store where Bill had told her
to wait for him, to see III he had ,me.
He was always impatient il she kept
him waiting.
Bill himself cheerful and hearty,
with good cigar between his lips,
joked and chatted with his friends
and carefully selected new double
harness. Bill is proud OF his horses
and takes good care OF them. When
Bill comes to town alone be goes to
q restaurant and gets q good dinner,
but Of course he could hardly be Ell
