that during these first hours in which
he had enjoyed the sight of her she
had been unusually quiet, undemon-
strative and uncommunicative. Indeed,
that sweet confidence he had enjoyed
before was wanting. No sooner was
the bandage put OF than all was re-
stored. There was the same tone of
voice to which he had beeH accustomed,
the same loving interest. In fact. for
the first time since the restoration Of
his sight was he congratulated in the
way he had expected.
wife" he said. 81 almost wish I had
not been made to see"
"Why not: Are you disappointed:"
NO; you are truly beautiful, but my
vision, which shows me your beauty,
seems to change your identity, and the
loss is far greater than the GAIN
The next morning he met the wife
of beauty at breakfast, changed as be-
fore. What Il singular thing is sight"
he muttered. 1T gives. but it takes
away. I would never have dreamed
that 1t could have made such a differ
ence."'
AS soon as the meal was over he en-
tered upon his usual %avocations. and
when he had finished and asked for
his wife he was informed that she had
gone out. She did not return until the
bandage had been put on for the night.
but when she came in and threw her
arms about him, the same loving wo-
man Of the night before, he exclaimed:
what have I gained? When I see
you, you are cold like other m
When I do not see you, you are still
my love-"
Suppose you could have me always,
night and day, a plain, homely wo-
man. Would not having me by day
beautiful and by night unseen be far
preferable:'
II would like to have you beautiful
always, and always as you are when I
do not see you"
The next day the husband tried to
cultivate in his wife Of beauty some Of
the warmth of his wife of reality. He
was an attractive man, and the beauty
! listened. 1t was to the nan the be-
ginning Of a courtship. For weeks he
strove to win by day and relaxed un-
der a love already won by night. Then
when the wife of beauty responded he
felt that he had won what was of no
value to him.
One night he said to the wife of
reality: Take me back to the surgeon
and ask him to make me blind. With
my sight I lose YOU half the time:
blind you are always the woman I
love-"
"Suppose.' replied the wife, "that in
stead of making me always what I
have so long been to you by bringing
back your blindness he could give me
to you to see both day and night as I
am now. but a homely woman"
IL would have you as you are now"
Then the wife removed the bandace,
and he saw her as she was. He folded
her in his arms and was satisfied.

Reality andLovehness
By CATHERINE L. BRYANT
TTE had been born blind. That

gerry Of the eye was in it's in

TIE had been born blind. That
was at a time when the sur
gerry Of the eye was in its in
fancy, and he was given no
hope that he would ever sec. He was
well educated so far as one can be we'll
educated thus hampercd, and as he
could not communicate with the out
side world by means of vision he lived
in Il realm of thought. A woman came
to love him. Whether it was that she
sacrificed for him or admired his men
tai vigor or because of a melancholy
manly beauty there was about him
doesn't matter. She loved him. Her
love was returned, and they were mar
ricd.
The woman was not gifted at any
time with physical beauty, and after Il
dozen years of married life what good
looks she had ever possessed vanished.
1t was about this time that a case Of
blindness similar to that of her hus-
bands was cured by the removal of
what INSTRUCTED the vision, and it be-
came possible that he, too, should see.
He was ovcrjoyed at the prospect.
But what gave him delightful antici-
pations acted contrarywise on his wife.
She knew that the great desire of his
heart was to look upon her. He had
talked with her about his conceptions
Of her and told her so far as words
could express them what they were.
They were many and different, for they
were created by his imagination. One
thing she had n~oticed-none Of them
was displeasing. On the contrary, they
We're all pleasing. She shuddered when
he became enthusiastic upon a lowell
ness which he now knew could be re-
vealed to him.
She was swayed by conflicting emo
ticns. If it had not mattcred to him
she would have preferred to keep him
blind. But the blessing of sight was a
priceless boon to him. and, loving him,
she must rejoice in it with him. On
the other hand. when he came to look
upon that which he had pictured as a
mortal may picture a seraph and saw
Il plain. middle aged woman would not
his love vanish with his conceptions:
She was sure it would.
Before the operation that restored
his sight took place she visited the sur
-con who was to perform it. told him
Of the dread she suffered and her plan.
When she left him he had promised
her that he would instruct the patient
that it would be only safe for him TO
indulge in the comfort of sight by
natural light. AS soon as the night
came on and artificial lights were used
he must his eyes till dawn. Then
she hunted for the most beautiful wo-
man to be found and engaged her to
play a part.
The day OF the operation came. and
tho first object on which the mans ewes
rested after the restoration of his sight
was indeed q vision of lovelincss. From
midday till sunset he gazed upon his
supposed wife. then reluctantly sub
mitted to the bandage. He had noticed

DO YOU SELL BUTTER?
If So, Here's a Delivery Hint That
VIII Be Useful.

To learn how to make delicious but
ter and deliver it to the consumer at
. to 20 cents per pound above the re-
tail trade is to make the dairy pay
well. if one has good cows. But one
must carry an ice box if intending to
deliver butter in the best condition in
hot weather.
Procure or make Il tight box of wood
an inch or more thick that, has no
odor. In this place Il rack for holding
ice. 1t need not he the full size of
the box. Indeed. If not full size it
will be better. since it will give more
room to pack in butter and to remove
Il print quickly. The rack must rest
IN blocks attached with screws to the
inside of the box. In the bottom OF
tho rack place il sheet of galvanized
iron with it's edges turned up nc-half
an inch all round. Then. to make an
outlet to carry of the melted ice. lay
the sheet on a pine board and strike
it Il few times with n round faced
hammer at the point where the outlet
pipe is wanted. This will dcprcss the
iron slightly into a shallow pocket.
Next drive through the bottom of this
pocket Il large punch. SO the ragged
lips Of iron will hang down. Place a
five rcnt funnel under the rack and
wire it to the pan lying in the rack,
using copper wire so it will not quick
ly rust ont. Attach n piece Of small
hose to tho funnel and. boring a hole
! through the bottom Of the refrigerator
! and wagon box, let it hang an inch be-
low the latter. Then all the moisture
