He had, however, unfolded unto her
one gorgeous lie.
AS a strict matter Of veracity. he was
the tinker what was. Tinker was his
middle name. He knew all about 1t. He
could make center table out OF
couple Of old barrel hoops. Mechanical
genius belonged to him. In the artillery
branch of the army he had been the
aitificer-the main tinker, that is-of his
battery.
But he didn't like the tinkering thing,
which was why, Selling upon the psyche
logical instant shortly after the matri-
monial moose had been tied. he had staked
the spouse of his soul to that little warn
ing about asking him to do handy things
around the house.

delightful years.
Whenever there was anything useful
and tinkerisl to be done about the house,
Heart OF Gold, she did it. She was tink
erish and it was up to her. He'd watch
her. and shake his head admiringly over
her wonderfulnesss at the tinkering thing.

marvel she was at it. and how he didn't
know what he'd do without her, homes
duck, and how PERFECTLY Miraculous it
was that a mere woman should be able
to patch and fix up everything around the
house hathaway! and. thus oiling her
along, why. as stated a couple OF times
above, he got by at home without doing
ever SO much as airy hands turn around
the dovecote for a matter Of fourteen
years.
The only thing that troubled him during
this long. blissfuI time was that his wife
wasn't a typist.
He was-and is-a writing individual,
and he writes his own pieces for papers
and things ON the typewriting machine.
This for many years-all OF the four
teen years, in fact. had seemed unto him
to be crooly unjust thing.
Ills IDEA was that Heart Of Gold was de-
signed by Providence to be a typewriting
person.
