Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch'
ison a young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tent and kind and universally ad-
mired. She married fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchison

Tonight | made you fair proposition,

Bravado? Or deadly purpose? How
could she tell? Her heart misgave
her; she crushed herself away from
him as from some abnormally vicious,
loathly reptile.
He understood this; and regarded
her with a confident leer, inscrutably
strong and malevolent.
And there is one other reason why
you will think twice before making a
row." he clinched his case. IF you
did that and l weakly permitted the
police to nab and walk us off, the bust
ness would get in the papers-your
name and all; and-what'd Maitland
think of you then, my lady? What'd
he think when he read that Dan
Anisty had been pinched on Broad
way in company with the little woman
he'd been making eyes at-whom he
was going, in his fine manlike way,
to reach down a hand to and yank
up out of the gutter and redeem and
and all that slush? Eh?"
And again his low evil laugh made
her shudder. Now, you won't risk
that. You'll come with me and be-
have, guess, all right"
She was dumb, stupefied with mis-
cry.
He turned upon her sharply.
"Well?"
Her lips moved in soundless assent
lips as pallid and bloodless as the
wan young face beneath the small
inconspicuous hat.
The man grunte6 impatiently; yet
was satisfied, knowing that he had
her now completely under control; a
condition not hard to bring about in a
woman who, like this, was worn out
with physical fatigue and overweight
with nervous strain. The conditions
had been favorable, the result was
pre-eminently comfortable. She would
give him no more trouble.
The hanson swerved suddenly
across the car-tracks and pulled up at

to repeat 1t, with added emphasis.

She had no answer ready, and he
proceeded, after waiting a moment:
But you're not going to be such a

Consider the mental agility it takes

surance that it will be under the arms
for the next two or three months at
any rate, and awakes to learn from the
headlines in the morning papers the
waist line is positively at the knees.
There is absolutely no use in prognos-
