But am ashamed to pray all the time
about this trouble" went on Sophie, for
can't help but think it's my fault because
Billie's so changed, and I can't see that my
prayers do one bit Of good on this subject. ;"
Cause your prayers are too valuable to
be throwed away on Billie, said Ma dryly.
You're givin' your very soul to Billie, and
he's payin' you back with miftiness. I'd
like to cuff him right now. Still, it's a natu-
raj thing for woman to pray when there's
trouble about her man or child and some
times it seems as, if that's about all there is
left to do. But, Sophie, lots of us is prayin
to the Lord for help when if we'd only use
the common sense he's already give us, we
could help ourselves. If I'd a took the tuck
out of Billie more frequent when he was
a-growin' up, instead of prayin' for him SO
much, it'd "a been better for our Billie

But, oh, he'sso changed" sighed his wife.
"No, Sophie returned his mother
thoughtfully, "Billie amt changed. It's
a hard thing for me to say, but there's one
side of our boy that you never knowed till
you married him. Billie was spoit baby,
and he was always meanern tunket at home
if he couldn't have his own way"
"But he does have everything his own
way everything" repeated Billie's wife
eagerly. "Yet things are not right. And
don't think I would complain like this to
anybody else. For a long time couldn't
have told even you; but at last want it
Strengthened out more than care for my
foolish pride"
Marriage is a turrible lottery, Sophie,

Sophie fastened to say. He works so hard

expect, and all since Ludwig was born.

AS Ma paused for breath at the end Of
this monologue two big tears slipped un-
checked down Sophie's pale cheeks.
Land O Goshen! Sophie, here I've been
a-blabbin' away unthinkin', and YOU amt
a-feelin' right about somethin' yourself, y
cried Ma contritely. 81 don't want to med
die, but what's wrong?"
Not much, guess returned Sophie.
trying to smile. "Maybe it's only what YOU
call in English the blues. But I'm sorry for
Opal and for Jeddie, too; and it may all come
right with them yet. Opal may be saved the
trouble of marrying where she should not:
and now she can teach school just as you
planned"
'My sentiments exactly" cried Ma, de-
lighted.
II was younger than Opal is now when |
married, and might have waited longer,
then might have known more how to bring
up Louie and how to get along better with
Billie. Now can't call myself anything
but failure at being married." confessed
Sophie.
1Failure3 land, no, Sophie" dissented
Ma, you've made splendid success of it.
Look how Billie scrapes his feet every time
afore enterin' the house, and combs his hair
afore every blessed meal, and waits on table
like born duke; and you taught him all
that he'd never do nothin' for me.
"I've been a-worryin' for fear Billie's
been a-workin' off some of his natural crank
ness on you. And you needn't tell me a
word about it, Sophie, unless you think
can help you. But don't be afraid I'll take
Billie's part-Ive done too much of that all
his life''
81 guess maybe should tell you how
unhappy everything isl said Sophie slowly,
for by myself / can do nothing and it
grows worse. don't mean to complain,
and know that | myself must be mostly
to blame, but something is wrong with
Billie"
Don't be afraid to tell me freely, Sophie,
and I'll be as shut-mouthed as the best.
Even our own Pa Flickinger shall never
know it, " promised Ma earnestly.
i always thought" said Sophie, "when
heard other married women talking as il
it was a Joke that husbands and wives KEEP
on caring for each other after they was
married, that they didn't care in the frs1
place. But what those women said comes
back often now and scares me. Does Billie
and me grow farther and farther apart
does all the happy times quite fade away
Is it just for courting and honeymoon that
the feelings on both sides are kind and
happy Oh, can't help but feel that

only on the outside; he's gotta good heart.
He thinks the world and all of Ludwig and
you, too; jest let an accident happen to
either of you, and you'd see. It's over the
little things in life that Billie falls down." /,
"But l don't care less for Billie since
Louie; feel more"
soCourse you do, Sophie" responded
Ma; "and anybody but born gump'd
know it. But men are curious critters, they
don't appear to care much about bein'
babied, but not Twin one but wants to be the
hull thing. Besides, men has to hustle out
in the world for a livin, and they ought to
take comfort and be humored in their own
homes. And, Sophie, life ain It got no ralish
for real man unless he can domineer over
somebody. Billie jest misses your notice,
and it comes in the first place from his
thinkin' so much of you. And I'll bet if you
was to act cold to Ludwig that he'd blame
you for that, too-such is the curious but
outlandish outfit that man calls his feelin's."
There comes light to me already from
what you say, Mamma Flickinger," said
Sophie. II may yet straighten things
out"
cts the easiest thing in the world to run
a cantankerous man if you've got the right

testified Sophie.

his angel side and overlook what ain It quite
SO pretty Forgive seventy times seven, it
says somewheres. And it kinder tickles me
to think of a great six-footer like our Billie
bein' Jealous of his own little baby"
Sophie, who was by this time smiling at
her mother-in-laws remarks, said, "I al
ready see that have taken things too much
to heart Oh, it won't be hard to get on the
good side of Billie, but l was always too
proud to do it before.
"And you'd probably "a saw through
Billie's foolishness about the baby in time
if hadn't put you on to it, Ma told her.
"But stitch in time saves deal of disa-
greeable scrougin', as Pad say"
and I'll try not to feel SO hurt, " prom
ised Sophie, if things do go little wrong
again"
That's right, Sophie. One of the first
lessons any woman ought to learn is to stop
livin' on her feein' s. faint healthy. And
married faults is the hardest to overlook
there is, but you can do it"
"And I'll speak to Opal about how she
should teach school and use her education;
and I'll talk to Jeddie about Fernie, so to
help you out, Mamma Flickinger," prom

troubles.

Then Sophie went back to her work, and
as the dishes began to rattle, the baby
awoke and whimpered; and though it hurt
Sophie to hear Louie's plaintive voice, she
knew that he was not really suffering.
Billie fdgeted in his chair as the baby
continued to complain. Finally he said:
"Sophie, your kid needs tendin', don't
he?"
"To run every time Louie wants me is
foolish replied Sophie calmly from the
