July Wives
by Walt Mason

The honeymoons have lost their
glamOr: June brides are getting down
TO calmer concerns than swapping
vows: the life they live has other seem
ing than mOOnbeams, stardust. tWi-
light dreaminE-they'r now anOinted
fraus. And doubtless some young wives
are signing because they know much
less of frying potatoes in pan, than
of the works Of Keats or Ibsen. or Of
the art of c. d. GIbsOn-which stuff
won't feed a man. Perhaps some wives
are nearly faintinE when thinking Of
the trifling painting on which they
wasted time. had they but learned the
art of broiling a pOrterhOuse. without
a-spOiling it till IL was a crimel OF
what good use, some wives are saving

them to the river to get decent drink
Such vain accomplishments we car
ried, And now that were securely
married, we often sigh and wish to
swap the lore we gained at college for
Just the sOrdid, wOrkday knowledge OF

young wives are looking through heavy
works that treat of cooking, and sigh

could be more affectionate. This is
why no amateur can go into the diplo-
macy business Unless he was up on

cepting the invitation of the hostile

In Europe diplomacy consists of say
ing kind words until one side fails to
translate them correctly. This counts
one for the other side. But this coun-
try has never gone in extensively for
the plush velvet style of diplomacy.
American diplomats do not often wear
knee pants and sometimes they come
near enough to the truth to call a
spade a sharp edged excavating instru-
ment. When the American diplomat
has to tell a foreign nation to get the
hades out Of the western hemisphere,
he frequently makes the blunder of
not beginning by abiding to the an
cient friendship which has always ex-
listed and always viii exist BETWEEN
the two countries 1t takes about so
years to produce a good diplomat The
greatest one was Ananias. but he died
at the beginning of his career-COpy-
righted by George Matthew Adams.

watched him as long as she could see
him, until he was lost among the
trees. If she had anybody else to de-
pend upon. she would certainly have
felt differently toward him; when
Uncle Robert, and her aunt, and the
children, and old kirkby, and the rest
surrounded her, she could hate that
man in spite of all he had done for
her, but now she stared after him de-
terminedly making his way down the
mountain and through the trees. 1t
was with difficulty she could restrain
herself from calling him back.
The silence was most oppressive,
the loneliness was frightful. She had
been alone before in those mountains,
but from choice; now the fact that
there IVES no escape from them made
the sensation a very different one.
She sat down and brooded over her
situation until she felt that If she did
not do something and in some way d.
vert her thoughts she would break
down again. He had said that the
cabin and its contents were hers. She
resolved to insrect them more close
ly. She hobb!ed back into the great

step. She looked up in time to see
the man lay down upon the bench q
small mirror and a clean comb. He
said nothing as he did so, and she had
no opportunity to thank him before
he was gone. The thoughtfulness of
the act affected her strangely, and she
was very glad Of a chance to unbraid
her hair, comb it out and plat 1t
again. she had not hair pin left, of
course, and all she could do with it
was to replait it and let it hang upon
her shoulders Her couture would have
looked very strange to civilization, but
out there in the mountains, it was en-
inently appropriate
Without noticing details, the man
felt the general effect as she limped
back into the room toward the table.
Her breakfast was ready for her. 1t
was a coarse fare, bacon, a baked po-
tato, hard tack cr.sped before the fire,
coffee, black and strong, with sugar.
but no cream. The dishes matched
the fare, too, yet she noticed that the
fork was of silver, and by her plate
there was napkin, rough dried, but
Of fine linen. The man had just set
the table when she appeared
81 am sorry have no cream" he
said, and then, before she could make
comment or renly, he turned and
walked out of the room, his purpose
evidently being not TO embarrass her
by his presence while she ate.
Enid Maitland had grown to relish
the camp fare, bringing to it the arpe-
tite Of good health and eyerton. She
had never eaton anything that tasted
so good to her as that rude meal that
morning., yet she would have enjoyed
the brimming, smoking coffee ot on
it better, she thought, if he mad only
shared it VITA her, if she had not been
compelled to eat it alone She has
tened her meal on th&t account, deter
mined as soon as she h, d finished her
breakfast to seek the man and have
some definite understanding with
him.
And, after all, she reflected that
she was better alone than in his
| presence, for there would come steal
ing into her thoughts the distressing
episode of the morning before, try
as she would to put it out of her mind
Well, she was a fairly sensible girl;
the matter was passed, it could not be
helped now, she would forget 1t as
much as was possible. She would
recur to 1t with modification later on
but the present was so full of grave
problems that there was not any room
for the past.

. Who was this woman? Why was he
20 quick to remove the picture from
her gaze? Thoughts rushed tumultu
ously through her brain, but she real
lied at once that she lacked time to
indulge them. She could hear him
moving about in the other room. She
threw aside the blanket with which
she had draped herself, changed the
bandage on her foot, drew on the
heavy wooden stocking which, Of
course, was miles too big for her, but
which easily took in her foot and
ankle encountered as they were by
the rude heavy but effective wrapping
Thereafter she hobbled to the door
and stood for moment almost aghast
at the splendor and magniticence be-
fore her.
He had built his cabin on level
shelf Of rock perhaps fifty by hundred
feet in area. 1t was backed up against an
overtowering cliff, otherwise the rock
fell away in every direction. She d..
vined that the descent from the shelf
into the pocket or valley spread before
her was sheer, except off to the
right, where a somewhat gentler ac-
clivity Of huge and broken boulders
gave practicable ascent-a sort of
titanic stairs-to the place perched
on the mountain side. The shelf was
absolutely bare save for the cabin
and few huge boulders. There were
few sparse, stunted trees further up
on the mountain side above; a few
hundred feet beyond them, however,
came the timber line, after which
there was nothing but the naked
rock.
Below several hundred feet lay a
clear, emerald rool, Nhoae edges were
bordered by pines, VIII re it was not
dominated by high cliffs. Already the

shaded side. This enchanting little
body of water was fed by the melting
snow from the crest and peaks, which
in the clear, pure sunshine and rari-
fled air of the mountains seemed to
rise and confront her within a stones
throw of the place where she stood.
On one side Of the pretty lake in
the valley, or pocket, beneath, there
was little grassy clearing, and there
the dweller in the wilderness had
built rude corral for the burros. On
rough bench by the side of the door
she saw the primitive conveniences tc
which he had alluded. The water
was delightfully."- soft and as it hai
stood exposed to the suns direct rays
for some time, although the air was
exceedingly crisp and cold, it was
tempered sufficiently to be merely
cool and agreeable. She luxuriatet
