Mrs. Fink was thinking deeply.

a lick in his life. It's just like you
said, Mamie; he comes in grouchy
and amt got word to say. He never
takes me out anywhere. He's a
Chair-warmer at home for fair. He
buys me things, but he looks so glum
about it that never appreciate 'em."
Mrs. Cassidy slipped an arm
around her chum.
''You poor thing" she said. But
everybody can't have a husband like
Jack. Marriage wouldn't be no fail
ure if they was all like him. These
disconnected wives you hear about
what they need is a man to come
home and kick their Stats in once
week, and then make it up in kisses
and chocolate creams. Thatd give
'em some interest in life!"
Mrs. Fink sighed.
The Railways were suddenly filled
with sound. The door flew open at
the kick of Mr. Cassidy His arms
were occupied with bundles. Name
flew and hung about his neck. Her
sound eye sparkled with the love light
that shines in the eye of the Maori
maid when she RECEIVERS conscious
ness in the hut of the wooer who has
dragged her there.

Mrs. Fink didn't see you at first.
How's old Mart coming along?"
Hes very well, Mr.. Cassidy
thanks" said Mrs. Fink. 81 must be
going along now. Mart'n be home
for supper soon"
Mrs. Fink went up to her fiat and
had little cry. It was a meaning
less cry, the kind of cry that only a
woman knows about; the most tran
sient and the most hopeless cry in the
repertOry of grief. Why had Martin
never thrashed her? He was as big
and strong as Jack Cassidy. Did he
not care for her at all? He never
qUaTTeled; he came home and loung-
ed about, silent, glUm, idle. He was
fairly good prOvider, but he ignored
the spices of life.
Mrs. Fink's ship Of dreams was be-
Gained. Her captain ranged between
plum duff and his hammock. If only
he would SILVER his timbers or stamp
his foot on the quarterback now and
then! And she had thought to sail
so merrily, touching at ports in the
Detachable Isles! For one moment
she almost hated Name Name, with
her cuts and bruises, her salve of
presents and kisses, her stormy voy-
age with her fighting, brutal, loving
mate.
Mr.. Fink came home at z. He
was permeated with the curse of do
mesticity. Beyond the portals of his
coy home he cared not to roam, to
roam. He was the man who had
caught the street car.
Like the supper, Mart?" asked
Mrs. Fink, who had striVen over it.
'M-m-m-yep," gTunted Mr.. Fink.
After supper he gathered his news
