at his wife
Well Edith, must say that you look very we'll in

Edith blushed violently and her heart hrobbed in spite
of herself at the question She temporized however
The possibilities of the situation were so great that she
wanted to enjoy them little longer Instead of the
usual retort,
John Gordon, don't you know what day it is ?" she
replied lamey enough, Why-er-nothing particular"
And the flowers, too, said John; they're gorgeousl
They always remind me of our wedding day. he added

mark to make; and then-wl it be elieved?-the
odious calmly went back to his paper and coffee
Edith stopped eating at once and stared at him in
silence. Could be possible? He had forgotten many
things, but never her birthday William came to the
rescue
"Why don't you eat your breakfast nama?" he re-
marked
Again this caught the attention of John.

Long ago John had learned manfuy to face the conse-
quences of those frghtful lapses of memory which
confronted him in the presence of Edith with this ques
tion trembling upon her lips:
John Gordon, do you know what day this is?"
When Edith asked that question she was not seeking
information as to the day of the week She wanted John
to remember that it was on such day as this that he
had first met her so-andsos house She wanted John
remember every detail of that meeting which her own
marvellous imaginative faculties could reproduce with
absolute accuracy Everything that happened that
connected with their courtship and early life
an anniversary and John really remembered them re-
markably we'll He very busy man. He had
great many cares The needs of his growing family were
sufficient to require his undivided attention Once in
while he forgot, but not often.
During crisis in his business which had filed him
with apprehension a certain morning Edith came
down to breakfast arrayed with extraordinary bravery
She shirtwaist of the color and style which
John affected In the center of the table was great
bunch of chrysanthemums flowers associated with their
wedding day. which had happened to fall few days

heroic resolution before she descended to the dining

in tears. My dear girl what is the matter?"
John was unconsciousy adroit. Edith loved to be
called his "dear girl and John knew it This time
however, the words did not mollfy her. Since he did
not know she resolved he never should She determined
that hereafter her birthday should pass by unnotced
She felt the luxury of mart7rdom stealing over her
which was compensation for her misery. She
dried her tears as best she could and looked dsdanfuy
and coldly at her anxious husband.
Nothing, nothing at ALL" she said.
Dere is, too" said young William sturdy.
"Wiam!" said Edith, sharply. 81 forbid you to
speak Don't say word"
Generally John did not interfere between Edith and
the children. This time he broke that wise rule He
drew a nickel from his pocket
Bill" he said, holding up the coin, " come here"
In second that infant was in his arms his face shin
ing through his tears.

John.

aurement of the nickel was too great for his ial
affection

that she would call Johns attention to the fact
that that day her birhday-in words, that is but
she had been unable to restrain herself from indicating
in way the festive character of the day Not that
it was particularly festive for Edith either, for no
woman approaches her fortieth birthday with feelings
of equanmity but that would not matter to John, who
accustomed say that the older he got the happier
he was and he least, ought to rise the occasion
And John had risen to the OCCASION too The birthday

vided her literally, in accordance with his means with
the jewels which looked pretty upon her beautiful
hands, and he had decided to add to her already large
collection what she had long coveted pearl A fine
specimen which he had purchased the night before, at
that very lay in his pocket But John gave no
outward sign The Stock Market was in a feversh con-

sat down. John and Edith breakfasted alone with Will

The petition is based on the facts
that despits the repeated warnings Of
mothers given the saloon men. not TO
sell their sons, (minors) any liquor, or
allow them in the saloon and of wives
against selling their husbands (ha-
