coaxed. q know, darling, how hard
you have to work and how worried
you are, over the business going
badly"
But it's not going badly he
snorted. Don't tell any one that"
''Why, of course not. I know you
haven't wanted to worry even me by
saying anything. I am not going to
ask for thing Pm going to try to
help you by earning them so you
won't be bothered"
It was quite useless for John to
buster and protest. She was so
CHEEKY and smiling over it all that
he was entirely nOnplussed, Besides
she ran the machine at top speed
while he was speaking,
Not seeing his wife make any move
toward the dining room, and not be-
ing able to make much converse
tional Roadway above the clatter of
the sewing machine, Joe went up to
her and touched her on the shoulder.
"Come, Mary! Do drop that and let
us have dinner"
She paused long enough to look up
very sweetly and say: You'll find it
all ready for you on the table. l can't

finished when promised. You know

wanting me to have more than ! will
allow him to get, Now he wants to
buy me a diamond pin and bracelet,
but I'd rather have a car that we
both can enjoy"
To say that Mary Beard had
something of a Jolt" would be put
ting it mildly, She went home think
ing hard Diamonds, automobiles"
while she, the other partners wife,
was pinching a. dime in two. She had
found the nine years of economic
ing, which seemed to grind closer
each year, nerve and soul wearing,
but she had tried to do the best she
could, believing it was necessary in
order to make both ends meet. She
had come to know that her husband
was extremely economical, but she
now realized it was clear case of
unadulterated stinginess.
What should she do? Should she
leave him? But John had many good
traits and she loved him., Stih she
had no intention of letting things go
on as they were. She said nothing
to John but continued to think.
One"evening, as Beard entered his
apartment he heard the sewing ma
chine busily clicking, At this hour
Mary was generally getting the din
ner or sniingly awaiting him in the
dining room. Entering the living
room he found the chairs piled with
mems trousers and waistcoats, in va
rious stages of completion, books
and paper cleared from the table to
make way for thread, buttons, ETC.,
and Mary hard at work at the ma
chine. So nOisily was it going that
Mary did not even seem to hear him
enter. Dumfounded he stood in the
middle of the room, looking from the
piles of sewing to the figure bent over
the machine and back again, Finally
he exploded with: Mary! What does

February 23.-The intense cold weather
has passed and a thaw has set in,
which has solved the fuel difficulty Of
Vienna and incidentally greatly facil-
itated the importation of foodstuffs.
The flour mills, which were shut down
owing to frozen rivers, are again in
operation and full bread rations are
once more in force.
Emperor Charles has been tireless
worker in the campaign to relieve
economic conditions. and tho imperial
teams are still hauling coal for the
populace. The sight of the blooded
stock, heretofore only harnessed to
state coaches, hauling heavy coal
trucks is one Of the curious wartime in
cidents in the Austrian capital. The
emperor recently banished wheat bread
from the officers mess at army head
quarters, and had both wheat bread and
flour removed from a special train
which was taking his brother, Arch
duke Macmillan. to Constantinople. In
issuing this latter order the emperor
remarked that if the common soldiers
the people and himself were contented
with black bread, the party on the train
should be also.
