Iheres only one in the world

The Selfish Scholar

His wife sits beside him in the
evening, as he reads. In her lap is
a darning basket. But her hands
lie idle. Her eyes are on the fire.
Somehow, tonight, she doesn't just
feel like doing anything-she
doesn't feel like darning, she doesn't
feel like sewing; and what else is
there to do? Not for years and
years has she gone to the theatre
She used to be fond of going
she was a girl-but since her mar
riage she has spent the evenings at
home; Henry would be miserable if
he were forced to waste an even
ing" away from his beloved books.
For this same reason, her friends
have dropped away, one by one;
Henry, poor dear, was so impatient
when they called, that he couldn't
help showing it. SO now Henry is
perfectly happy. Yes. now. But
how about later on? The time may
come when his wife no longer sits
across the table from him in the
evenings: when lie will sit before
his books and he unable to read
hem. For the picture OF ber wist-
full face will swim between him an
his books Il might have made it
q radiant facel" he win regret.
He's putting poison IN his tea.
