In a few days there was an auction
of all Mr.. Peabody's furniture. All
their fashionable friends were present,
more, 1t Is to be feared, from curios-
ity than anything else, and were sur
prised TO find Mrs. Peabody not In
tears, as they had expected.
They could scarcely believe the evil
dences of their senses. but felt conf
dent that when the change was made
she would become low-spirited and de-
spondent. But they were mistaken.
A month afterwards a family was
settled in a neat, but inexpensive cot
tage, ten miles from the city, which
had a cheerful, home-lilSe air, such as
their city mansion had never possessed.
And on Sunday morning as Mrs. Pea
body and her 16-year-old daughter
walked along the meadow path to the
village church the latter said: 1--WE
used to ride to church in our fine car
riages and were fattered by our fash
ionable friends, but l think this Is ever
so much better, don't you, mamma9"
Her mother was truly grateful that
Ellen had not been spoiled by the life
of luxury.
Mrs. Peabody became quite q notable
houseileeper, and the children, no long
er INDUCED in costly things, became
healthier, happier and more self-reli
ant than before.

has scorned to become reconciled to the

Forced to live always with the Stars

Hall has counteracted as best she
could this token of the submission to
her country by wearing always half
concealed among her snowy curls a
small Confederate flag.
Miss Hall has many priceless posses

old days. Among them is a valuable
ring which was worn by a dearly be-
loved brother. Another ring In her

One of the delegates to the electric

Y, described his wonderful house to
the members. "To start with" he said,
Il had plans drawn for two houses,
one with and one without a kitchen
chimney. The cost of the chimneyless
house was enough less than the other
to pay for the wiring and equipment,
and after a couple of years experience,
l can say--with my wife's authority
that nothing would induce us to go
back to coal and gas In the kitchen
there are an electric oven, griddle- cake
cooker, meat broiler, cereal cooker,
water heater, egg boiler, potato steam
er, frying pan, coffee percolator and a
stove for ordinary cooking utensils.
The whole outfit can be purchased for
about 500. But this is not the only
way we can use electricity. In the din

regulating the degree of heat exactly
as wanted results in considerable econ

careful records, and the average month
ly bill for electricity for two years is
$500 month, or about 10 per cent
more than we paid for coal or gas. And
there are no ashes to carry away, no
fires to build, no dust nor dirt. The

that he would comply. But when she
looked into his face at the close of her
question she suddenly noticed the
gloom which overspread it.
"Why, what's the matter, Lewls?
she asked in startled tone. Are you
sick, or don't you approve of this plan7
If you don't, why, of course, Ellen will
give it up. But we supposed you

Lewis PeabOdy's
ReVerSeS.


With a heavy heart Lewis Peabody
left his counting room at half-past
three. 1t was a period of commercial
disaster. and for three months he had
succeeded only by desperate effort In
keeping his head above water
But to-day the crisis has come. Two
heavy notes have come in which he
had been unable to lift, and his bust
ness friends had been unable to help
him. The result was, he had gone by
the board.
There we're other considerations
which made the blow fall more heavily
upon him. lie was no longer young
man. He had passed the age of forty
five-and had wife and four children
dependent upon him. He could scarcely
expect any help from them, since they
had been educated to extrayagant
tastes. and scarcely a day passed that
be was not importuned for money to
crafty some new within. In fact, aside
from this, he knew very little of them.
Like most business men, his mind had
been so engrossed by his business that
he only met his family at meals, and
not always then.
The tendency In substance Is to
change the position Of the husband and
father to the treasurer Of the family,
to whom all look for the means Of
gratifying their tastes
e., 10 cnrr.rncod fhnf
there was no tie of affection between
Mr.. Peabody and his family. On the
contrary, being very goOd-natured
man, affections through circumstances
had stood in the way Of that full and
entire sympathy that should have
existed.
81 tremble to think how Mable and
the children viii take It," he said to
himself, despondently. They have
never learned to economic. l don't
know what will become of us, l am
sure"
Mr.. Peabody had himself to blame
In part for this state of things He
had never made confldant of his wife
in business matters, and the most she
knew Of it was that her husband most
all of the time gave her plenty Of
money. She believed he was rich, and
never thought of a time that 1t would
be necessary to economic.
When Mr.. Peabody entered the
house and glanced at the costly furni-
ture and many evidences of wealth
about him he could not help heaving
sigh when he thought all this must
be given up, and henceforth they must
live In a style much more humble.
This he did mot 80 much regret for
his own sake. Indeed he spent 50
small a portion of his time at home
that II would not make much differ
ence to his comfort, but again the
thought rose in his mind Of his family.
Entering the parlor he saw his wife
at work upon some embroidery.

she said gally. "for I have a favor to
ask you"
"Well, Mable, what is it?" said her
husband with a gravity which she did
Tot first perceive.

"WellY"

but a brilliant affair. Viola Sanders

gratifying for her TO have one, too"
