David Blankenbeckler, a Union

the half mile race, although the

the Marion paper did not give
him credit for it. He won thirc
place easily, and it was So an
nounced to the grandstand.
David ran a good race, and feels
ttat the only thing which kept
him from winning the race was
lack of practice, and he is de
termined to WIN this race in the
next contest. He has interested
some other boys, and they are
already talking of going down
to Marion another Year to win.
Chilhow1e High School got
credit for tine point in question,

Union School. No doubt there
was some mistake or owe rsight

Indifferent and she hummed a little
tune to herself as she went into the
parlor and picked up book.
. what are you going to do with
yourself this EVENING"" asked John.
Her failure to make further comment
on his speech suddenly produced In
him sensation of insecurity. Did her
silence mean acquiescence or dis
pleasure?
"Oh, shall be we'll enough" she
said. II have an interesting book, and
plenty to do. I am never lonely"
That's good" the husband remark
ed. Her Indifferent attitude piqued
him, even while he congratulated HIM
self that it made his departure easier
AS he went towards his club he re-
Elected that he had taken the step
that meant his right to dispose Of his
time as he wished. OF course he
loved Isabel dearly, but she certainly
knew how to be disagreeable when she
was in the mood she had been in to-
night He had done all that could be
expected towards conciliating her
and she would not be conciliated. He
certainly would not apologize for what
he had said at breakfast that morning,
for he had not been in the wrong.
This was a side of his wife's char
acter he had never seen before, and
he would not humor' her by staying at
home trying to cajole her. II she was
going to be grouchy and glum. he
would go where things were pleas
anter-that's all. This was mans
prerOgative. 1t was strange that
women did not understand that.
He 10 Warmly
Welcomed at the Club.
He had kissed Isabel good night,
and she had the good sense this time
to let him kiss her on the lips, but
she had not returned the kiss. Oh.
well! Why worry about 1t! She
would get over her huff, and then his
home would be once more the jolly
little retreat it had been for the past
six months.
He had reached his club by this
time, and the greeting that he re-
ceived from some of his old friends
assembled there warmed his heart and
made him consider himself a fool for
having stayed away so long. He would
not be 80 forgetful and neglectful
again.
Now that my wife and / are actu-
ally settled in our home" he told a
chum of his bachelor days, who
CHANGED to happen in, II mean to run
over here often-just as l used to-.
His companion laughed. "They all
come to that Jack, after they've been
married a WHILE" he observed. my
brother did, and l watched him do It.
1t raised. somewhat Of dust when
he started in at the club again. but his
wife soon got use to 1t. And yours
will, too"
The color mounted to John Hamil
toms forehead. "My wife," he said
proudly, "is not the kind to raise
dust as you put it. She and under
stand each other perfectly. She Is al
ways glad to have me go anywhere
that want to go. She Is a sensible
broad minded woman, George"
81 congratulate you," his friend
said dryly.
Something in the tone made John

CHAPTER III.
Isabel Hamilton controlled with diff
ficulty the inward start with which
she heard her husband announce his
intention of going to his club.
why, john" she faltered, trying to
look as II she did not care. you have
not been in the habit of going to the
club since our marriage. l did not
suppose you even thought of it,
mo, l have neglected it," he re-
marked gravely. I've been thinking
the matter over, and I've come to the
conclusion that l have no right to be-
long to an organization unless l show
some interest in it and meet it's men,
bers once in while. Some of the
fellows there are my very good
friends. and l could hardly blame them
If they feel hard toward me for my
seeming indifference"
why haven't you gone before -
his wife asked. Her manner had
changed from the silent disapproval
that had characterized 1t during din
ner. She wanted to force him to
state that he had found her society
more attractive than that of all the
men in the world
John smiled easily.
Il suppose for the same reason" he
repliedd, that most men when they
replied, that most men when they
friends. Life Is changed for them, and
marriage is the biggest thing in the
world
And later it becomes of less i'm
portance? his wife inquired with a
touch of bitterness.
Not at ALL" John demurred. while
we are on this subject. let me explain,
and then there will be no hard feelings
about the matter When people are
frst married, they are absorbed in the
newness Of it all. their own society,
their new home, each others perfec-
tions. At last when there are no more
surprises for them, they settle down to
quiet, sensible existence in which they
love each other just the same-per-
haps more-but yet are not so selfish
that they can. not understand that
there are no other people in the world
who have some claim on them
He Thinks He Has
Made It Clear.
Il see," said the wife.
John Hamilton told himself that he
had made the case plain and had told
the truth. Yet IN mis- soul ne knew
that he had not told it ALL and that
had his wife been her bright. CHEEKY
self this evening he would not remem
bered his duty to his club. But she
was evidently in a bad humor and
when woman was peeved and quiet
the club was jollier than home-nc
matter how much he loved the woman
Naturally he could not explain this
to Isabel.
Yet. If he had. it might have beer
a salutary thing for her. If more
wives were told these facts they Nigh,
understand before it is too late. AnC
If more men knew that to keep q
woman's affections it is advisable oc
casionally to show her loverly atten
tons. men might not have to complain
of wives fiekleness. Both sexes love
to be loved. and both like to b.
amused.
