Then, az cool weather came on, he

at last. at q party, Genevieve saw him
when he had fallen from grace. He
was bit above himself, and. besides,
she danced with him and noticed
something about his breath.
Next morning big brother said, "Jim
had q lovely souse on last night, didn't
he? But he certainly had nerve to
dance with you. You should have
turned him.down."
Genevieve gasped a bit. Then she
said. HE was nothing OF the kind,
and don't thank you." And then she
ran to her big, pretty. pink and white
room and got down upon her knees
and cried and cried! Then, when she
could get her breath, she remembered

that she was the person who really
needed that attention.
James came out In q few days,
sober and in his right mind. He knew
how bad he had been. and he sup
posed she did. too. 30 he told her he
was not At to speak to her, but he was
going to be man now, and would
she forgive him? And 0enevieve said
he must be man for her sake. and
she would forgive him, because she
was sure he was repentant and would
never fall again.
When James went back to the club
the next night he lifted a restraining
palm to his friends and said: "Never
again! I'm ON the water wagon for
keeps" And his friends laughed, be-
cause they had climbed on the water
wagon themselves at the bidding of a
nice girl.
About Christmas Genevieve had a
shock. James was doing great bust

cerely and James now declared that
he hated the very smell Of the stun.
These two things stood to Genevieve
in the relation Of cause and effect
And this was the exact moment chps.
en- by James in which to ask her to
marry him.
When James and Genevieve came
back from their honeymoon, the happy
bridegroom was warmly congratulated
by his many friends. When he went
home to Genevieve the first evening
he said, "M'darling' assure you moth.
ingwrong-hatetastestuff."
All the years that James was com.
ing home to Genevieve perfectly sober
-er-that is, sober at least three
evenings out Of the week, Genevieve
was thinking with some pride that II
he would only straighten up, he
would show those friends Of his who
had so far outdistanced him in the
race-because, really, said Genevieve
to herself, James was far the ablest Of
them all. 1t was nothing but his dis
astrous habits that stood in his way.
And at last the day dawned when
James came to. He saw what he real.
ly Qooked like and decided that tho
time had come when he must straight
en- up and leave behind his boyish
ways. So he Strengthened up. Imme-
diately? Yes. Immediately. Was It an
awful struggle? No, II was not an
awful struggle.
He was sick week or so and felt
depressed and down for months, but
that was about all. Because the truth
is that 1t Is not such an awful strug.

James and John and William and
Charles are not often in earnest when
they say they want to stay on the wa
ter wagon, so they cheerfully fall OF
again.
Their wives think they are? Yes.
but their wives only see them when
they are depressed and down in tho
mouth. The. minute James and tho
rest Of them get outdoors. they are
different men.
You don't believe It? Well, you ask
your brother about 1t, Genevieve, my
dear. and watch what he says.
Well, when James really made up
his mind to quit he Just quit. And
the saddest point of the story 10 right
here-he never did astonish the world.
He never set the river on fire, he
never did q thing except to continue
to make rather q shabby living for

She had reformed him. but the 70.

Genevieve sometimes said to herself,
