 was about to nudge James with her elbow. when a sudden thought came 10 her. Aunt Deborah's grewsome pre- dicfions came up. and she wondered If she had been awakened by some move on her husbands part-s0me move 10 take her by the throat She smiled at first but presently the smile faded away. Wives had been killed that the husband might profit by the insurance. Aunt Deborah was always predicting. but at tbe same time many of her pre- dictions had come true She knew that James loved her with q great love. but there was that s2!0oO. For an hour she lay awake and thought and the longer she thought the more miserable she became.
 Sarah had only fallen into troubled sleep when the dog parked and James awoke. He did not get up for fear or disturbing his wife. and after listening to the dog for a few minutes the thought of Aunt Deboreh's predictions and solemn face came to his mind.
 He grinned at the idea of Sarah kill ing him or for that 5000. and yet he began to recall cases where wives had done that same thing. She could puso him Into the we'll push him down the cellar stairs or dispose of him In other ways to enable her to escape detection, and with that S2.000 she would be rich widow and windmill men, wire fence men. plano agents and men with
 f41Fp each other to ask for her hand She might not even put 4 ten dollar head stone at his grave.
 There was constraint between them when the couple woke up next morn. ing They tried 10 make out that fhere wasn't. but realized that there vas. Sarah clained 10 have a head ache. and James said he had touch If rtenmatisw.
 Al noon ' aen tbe husband came ID from the 6Vfd he had b@en thinking FHinas over aud aim8st wished he had armed Aunt Deborah ont If the house- She was meda come. a3saiPy cd mag. and h. woGlI let nothing she Had said annoy him in the leJst. sarah had also been thinking and about the s8me thoughts and s) there Vaa return If love and confidence

 "ah. ha, Got feeited lead on her mind. has she? Well. I've got to look out for my ears"
 For the next four weeks the pair were hypoerites toward each other They dissemblcd and deceived They thought black thoughts of each other. James wanted 10 sleep in the barn 0 nights, and Sarah wanted to go home aed tell her mother all about 1t. Things were hastening on toward a separation when, as they sat on the yeranda one night after supper, say ing little. but thinking a great deal. Farmer Joe Collins came driving along and halted to say:
 say, you folks heard the news"
 ''No What is itY'
 .1tll take your breath away"
 But lets have it.
 "Waal. that life insurance company you are insured in has busted highern Gilroys kiten'
 "Oh. James,
 "Oh. Sarah."
 And as they went dancing around the veranda in each others arms Mir. Collins looked at them in astonish- ment and said to himself:
 By George. but they seem to be turned glad of it''
 And so they were.
