'How long have we been married,
John?" Mary asked next day. 1T
seems such a long time, somehow,
and yet know that it can't really be
an entire year as that calendar on
the wall seems to show"
John looked at the calendar. It
was an old one of the preceding year,
and it had remained on the bedroom
wall, as old calendars are apt to do
when they have become familiarized
by time.
ct is June" said Mary, land we
were married in June. Is it whole
year, dearest?"
John dared not tell her that it was
two years.
Dearest" she whispered present
ly. Put your arms around me and
let me tell you something. Do you
know, all the time l was lying here
this morning, I have been thinking
how unkind l have been to you, and
how unhappy 1 have made you. l

ct is you who must forgive me,
dearest" said John, hUmbly.
That night the doctor explained
the situation to him.
Your wife" he said, ''is on the
high road to recovery. Her mind is
as sound as it has ever been. The
brain trouble which l anticipated
amounts simply to this: The whole
of the past year has slipped out of her
memory. Has she had any great
trouble that could account for this?"
Eyes" answered John, humbly,
and the doctor shot a keen glance at
him.
Then that is the explanation - he
said. Her mind was troubled; she
wishes to forget the episode, what
ever it was. 1t is necessary for her

selves from the remainder. We
could possibly awaken those dormant
memories, but it would be highly in
advisable to do so. Are you prepar-
ed to let her go through life with no
memory of that one year,"
Indeed, 1 am" said CIeave, "es-
pecially since you think it is for the
best. But how can she adjust her
self to conditions? viii she not be
constantly perplexed by discrepan-
Cies in dates?"
Happily not" the doctor answer
ed. 'In such cases the mind meets
all these problems and solves them
in its own way, and to its perfect sat
isfaction. You have a very charming
wife, Mr.. Cleave," he added. Guard
her and care for her-and let'the past
bury it's dead"
And John, kneeling at Mary's bed
side, thanked God that his chance
had come, and renewed his VOWS,
never more to be broken.
