Read that" Tom tossed letter
into his wifes lap as he strobe past
to hang his hat in the closet Mar
jory drew the letter from the envel-
ope and was smiling over it's contents
when Tom came and sat down by her
side.
That will work out splendidly."
She looked up from the letter. Your
people will come very soon and stay
till after the celebration. Then your
father will return and leave you
mother to finish her visit and she and
Aunt Lois can share the spare room.
have not invited Aunty until the
thirteenth" She turned again to her
reading.
Il thought you would like their
plan. I told Mr.. Jaynes that they
were planning to come and he is all
excited about it. One thing he in
sists on is that father and he have a
day of fishing, together" Tom laugh
ed. Father has not fished for TWEEN
ty years"
I'VE will arrange to spend the day
at the Morton farm while they fish,"
said Marjory. Mr.. Morton is quite
fisherman, I understand. I want
your mother to meet that fine old lady
without fall
Il suppose Mr.. Jaynes will take a
load in his big machine" remarked
Tom. There will be the four of us,
and the son and daughter, l suppose
-"
IT don't know whether the son can
get off or not. Certainly Nell and the
children will CO. and-I wonder IL
Mrs. Jaynes will have to be included"
Tom laughed. LAS her husband Is
getting up the party it is but natural
to think that she will be asked.
''Oh, I suppose she will have to go,
but really it spoils everything to have
her along She is Ut able to talk on
any subject anyone else cares about,
and she Is so crude, 1t is almost pain
full to be with her"
"He has my sympathy" The smile
left Toms face. What Zine fellow
he is to. bear 1t all 80 manfully."
Bear it; what else could he do? 1t
is life sentence, you know" said
Marjory sadly.
We'll, he could be a fugitive from
matrimony. there are plenty such"
replied Tom.
He really gets enough pleasure
from his home to pay for the effort to
keep 1t. There is Julie, you know. He
could never think Of giving her up"
mo, Of course not, but what / meant
when ! first spoke of his bearing it so
well was that he would never think
of seeking relief in any such way. He
simply makes the best of it."
Perhaps he is fond Of her. She
may be good hearted in spite OF her
incredible ignorance. They may have
been married when they were both
ignorant only he was naturally
bright, and as he was thrown with in
telligent men he acquired an educa-
ton and she was buried at home with
the children and had no chance to i'm
prove That is often the case" con-
tinued Tom, after a pause.
The fact that she treated Mollie so
cruelty makes it hard for me to be-
lieve in her good heart" said Mar
jory decidedly.
That was jealousy, you know, and
the n-eyed monster Is accountable
for a great many queer actions"
Marjory nodded in an unconvinced
way. "All know is, I wish she would
take it upon herself to go visiting as
Augusta did, and stay till all my COM
pany is gone, so l would not have to
invite her, and I do not relish the
prospect" Tom laughed and said:
THAT is a mole hill. Do not make
a mountain out of It,"
