A DEACON'S
WIFE
BY NJ. QUAD
Copyright, 1918, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
BY M. QUAD

Deacon John Goodman was forty
They were a peaceful, good tempered
twain and had never had a quarrel.
There were no children, and sister
came to keep house for the deacon.
He'll marry again within year or
two, of course" was the general Opin-
ion of the villagers.
The deacon didn't remarry, and after
eight years bad passed away he was
given credit for being one of the few
exceptions. Qe had just passed his
tifty.SiXth birthday when he drove
over to Grafton one day with horse
and buggy to transact some business
1t was splendid Sune day, and if
anybody had told the deacon that he
was going to run into cyclone within
an hour he would have laughed at the
prediction. He was vet four miles
from Grafton and toiltng up long
hill when the cyclone appeared.
1t had been sitting down on stone
to rest 1t was woman with bulg-
ing satChel. She was about fortytiye
years old and had q pleasant face.
She was asked if she didn't want a
lift on her way and was invited to
take seat in the buggy. She didn't
look at all to the deacon like cyclone
on whees--uot then. Both were nat
uraly laxative, aud inside of ten min
utes they were talking away like old
acquaintanCeS. The cyclone was a
widow named Pardon. She had been
sewing at the house Of farmer. She
had married sister living in Grafton.
She had been a widow for five years,
and while life was going very well
with her, it was a bit lonesome.
Deacon Goodman confessed that it
was also bit lonely for him.
Widow Pardon had never considered
second marriage, but if she should
happen to find the right sort of man
it might set her to thinking.
Il understand" replied the deacon as
he nodded his head.

Deacon Goodman was known among
men as reasonable man." He could
be argued with. and he had often
changed his mind but in this matter
he was as obstinate as d-Srgle. The
minister and others talked to him, %yt
without avail. He was on hand on the
day named, The sister had nothing to
say for or against, and it was decided
that the marriage should take place in
two weeks. 1t came off according to
schedule, and the deacon took his bride
home and was a happy man-for three
or four days. Then one morning he
suggested that he liked his coffee lit
tie stronger than the wife was making
it. and she whirled on him, threw the
utenSil at his head and opened such a
tornado Of abuse that he sat with his
mouth open and stared at her in dumb
surprise.
The good man was still wondering
what had broken loose when the wife
slapped his face and pulled his hair
and ran for the river vowing that she
would drown herself. He sprang up
and followed her. of course, and caught
her just as she was going to take the
plunge.
Ten days later there was a second
outbreak. The deacon got abuse, pro-
family and more Vigorous slaps. and

off the yoke of the sultan, ninety
years ago. At the outset Greece tried
neutrality-suspicious. who was
soon assassinated. Then Ohio of Ba-

stormy time, was forced to abdicate.
After that the crown went begging
