''No-go on" I urged.
Il suspected that it belonged to

one of them came and claimed it.

no one in the house had lost it. Fin

THE PARABLE OF THE NIGHT
FLOWER

|
IVLTE have a friend who rang our Tel
w ephone Bell, and spake thus uh.
to me and Keturah.
Come over to our house, and see
that We hasten; for behold, our Night
Blooming Cereus is about to Bloom.
Now if he had called the half of
an hour later, my Night
proclivities would have been hard at
work in slumber: for it was Bed
Time.
But we put on our wraps, and
went over. And Keturah dolled her.
self up a little, but not too much.
For she knew that there would be
others present. For the friends who
invited US warmed up the wires and
called in all their friends. And there
was quite Bunch of US when we all
arrived.
Now it had been many years since
| had seen Night-Blooming Cereus
in Bloom, and had rather forgotten
what manner of plant it was. And
when | beheld it, is was as uninviting
as any Cactus before Mr.. Burbank
laid hold unto and sheared off the
spines thereof. For this was by no
means spineless.
Wax-Like Flower
But while we waited, the plant
got busy. and there bloomed a Mar
velous wax-like flower, which opened
its graceful petals in such beauty as
| had seldom seen. And all who
were present admired it with much
exclamation and rejoicing,
foldsiBT
And | wondered at the creative
wisdom which had put so lovely a
flower on so uninviting a stalk and
caused it to Bloom in the Night.
And | considered some men that
have known, who are rough and
grabbed and unattractive, but whom
| have detected doing kind deeds, and
acting as if they were ashamed of it.
And once knew a man who was
thought to be Miser, but who was
secretly generous. And | knew
man VINO was gruff ana repellant,
but who was kind of heart and who
hid his good deeds.
And it came to pass. once upon
time, that | knew a man whom ev-
eryone. counted the meanest man in
town, For his disposition was like
unto the Cactus, and no man dared
come nigh unto him.
Proved Hiself Brave.
But there came a time of calamity,
when courage was needed, and he
proved himself brave and a time
when kindness was needed, and he
proved himself kind; and time
when generosity was needed. and he
proved himself generous.
And | said, the wonders of the
world are many, and among them.
both in the world of flowers and the
world of men, is the Night Blooming
Cereus, For the night which hideth
one sun bringeth out many stars; and
the darkness which shutteth up most
flowers bringeth out a few. And
those few are most rare and won
derful.

But when they stopped and looked,

WIVES WHO FAIL
u N KIND TO
HIS WIFE
BY RUTH AGNES ABELINC.


MO, she didn't marry his family.
That was all quite true. But nei-
ther did he think he was going to be
aiken away from his family when he
married her. And that is just what
happened ho wa a wife ana lost
a family.
She didn't say very much when his
mother came for her first visit after
they had established themselves in
their new home. But there was a
certain frigid atmosphere about the
place that he couldn't understand at
all.
Then pretty soon his mothers
birthday came around. And as he
had been in the habit of doing. he
counted out one dollar for each year
she had lived and sent it to her. Of
course, he showed his wife, because
he wanted her to enjoy the giving.
too But his wife pouted and final
ly that night after dinner came out
with an actual complaint.
She could have used that money
for new dress
But when her mother came and
spent her birthday with her son-in-
law and daughter, the elderly woman
was taken to the most expensive
eating place for dinner, and out shop
ping the next day her daughter
bought her hat and had the bill put
on her own
When his sister wrote that she
was coming to spend a short while
the new wife wrote back that she
was i'll and couldn't entertain com
| pany. But a few weeks later her
brother arrived to spend the sum-
mer while he looked for job and,
of course, everyone was glad to see
him.
And so it went until everything
he had for his family was done from
the office, so his wife wouldn't know
and there wouldn't be a painful eve
ming to endure.
/ Years later when the wife discov-
cred that her husband had a dual
personality, that he practically lived
two lives, one which she knew and
one which she did not, she wondered
how it was that she didn't see the
deceit when she married him. When
| really it wasn't there-she created it.
