The Dark of the
Honeymoon
Showintf the Difficulty of
Working In Double
Harness
By M. F. ARCHIBALD
A newly married couple have often
been compared to a learn of horse*
yoked for the flrst time In double har
ness. It Is an excellent comparison.
The start Is made when the wedding
Journey Is over and the couple enter
upon the routine of ordinary life. Their
expectation usually is that the billing
and cooing will last so long as they
live. But lovers are e'cvated upon an
emotional plain that cannot be main
tained any more than one can listen to
music or look at beautiful works of
art or rend poetry day In and day out
without doing anything else.
On starting npon a united Journey
they And that one has been accus
tomed to go at one pace, the other at
another. One has one gait, the other ?
different one. But It is the coming
down from the antenuptial roseate
condition that ofteu brings about the
breaking In to traveling double on life's
turnpike.
Phil Ortnsby and Rosalind Scrimser
returned from their wedding journey to
enter their cozy little home Rosalind
was nineteen and i'bll was twenty
eight. Rosalind was at an age wherein
a newly married |>erson. esi>eclally a
woman, is not prepared for a sudden
descent from the courtship condition.
Phil was naturally practical and old
for his age. The season of preparation
for the wedding had come upon htm
when he was actively engaged In' busi
ness. and the two together had worn
upon him. Then came the honeymoon,
and. though at first It brought a de
lightful rest, before It was finished he
desired to get back to some Important
matters which he had left unfinished
The result was that when he found
himself at home he was pleased to re
turn to a normal conditiou both In his
private and business life. The flrst day
on coming home from business be
greeted his wife with Just a trifle le?*
of a lover's exuberance tbnn he had
been In the habit of showing, and.
throwing himself in an easy chair, took
up an evening newspaper and began to
look it over.
His wife eyed him askance. Ttiry
had entered upon the collapse of the
courtship honeymoon period, the be pin
ning of the real matrimonial life. Un
fortunately both had not reached the
portal of their new companionship at
the same moment As In the case
of a span of newly yoked horses, where
the one has settled down to a trot
while the other Is still caracoling? so
had Phil entered npon the affairs of
ordinary life, while Rosalind had not
left a world of romance.
Phil went on reading his newspaper.
He was somewhat tired, but this was
not the prime course of his disposition
to glance over the news of the day.
He half expected that his young wife
would say whatever she might have to
say. while he read, but she didn't. Fi
nally he looked up. There was a cloud
on Rosalind's face no bigger than a
man's hand.
"Anything especial happened during ,
the day?" he asked.
MA great deal has happened, but yon
have been so occupied with your news
paper that I supposed you took no In
terest In your home."
"What's gone wrong?"
"Nothing that would Interest yon."
"My dear, how can yon say that?
Anything that concerns you Interests
me."
"So I thoucht, nntll yon cntne home
the first evening after our return from
our wedding Journey and took more in
terest In the world's news than In your
own household."
Phil didn't reply to this at once. For
months he had been very much pleased
at any reproach for any Inattention to
his love. Now he wondered why this
one annoyed bim.
'Tell me. sweetheart, what has gone
wrong today."
"Oh. nothing that you need worry
about. 1 dare say the cares of business
have been quite enough for yon to en
dure. I can bear the rest"
"Tell mo one thing you have had to
bear."
"Well, in the first place, I telephoned
the butcher to send a porterhouse steak
and he sent a sirloin."
"That's too bad. What else?"
'There are mice In the house. One
came out today and ran along the
baseboard "
"We'll put traps about."
"Or a cat"
"That's a good Idea."
He drew her down onto his lap and
there was a little cooing, bat somehow
now that they could coo as much as
they cared 10. there didn't seem to be
the same ae?t to It At any rate. Phil
was not sorry when tbey were sum
moned to dinner.
A fortnight passed during which
there were many recurrences of such
scenes, though the husband did not
succeed In maintaining bis serenity as
well as upon their first tiny spat. Dur
ing these two weeks the bride was
rapidly coming to the condition of one
who assumes that In her marriage a
terrible mistake has been made, that
tv>r husband doesn't love her. and the
bottom has dropped out of the universe.
One afternoon, tvl'ini'i g froffl twi
nes*. Phil found hi* abode empty and
? note from hi* wife Minting that the
could not atnml the existing statu* any
longer. She lnd p>ne to llvt the rest
of her life with her mother and would
never return to hi in
Most men would hfl ve looked npon

very serlotia matter aud would have
gone after his wife to try to iwuify her
or to upbraid tier; Imt. a* I hnve said.
Phil had an old man* brad on a
young man's shoulder*. He did notb

every time she heard a footfall ?n ih>

and no repentant husband
When her father came in he was In
formed by his wife that their da nch'er
had lieen driver out of her h'nif by a
brutal hnstmnd. He had "been there
himself when f young man and did
not take so radical a view of the mat
ter. When hla wife urged him to *eek
Phil and either brine him to reason
or horsewhip him he ankl:
"1 will have nothing to do with the
matter, and my advice to yon Is to
keep ont of It yourself."
For two days Mr. Scrltnser held the
two women down -he said afterward
It w'as like sitting on the lid of a boll
In* kettle? and then a terrible looking
communication came for Mr*. Ornish
with an awful triplet of name* In the

lapsed. Her mother fanned her and
put a smelling tiottle under her nose
Her father waa not In the houae.
Finally the young wife started np
and tore the envelope to tatter*. There
waa enongh of the contenta banging
together to show that the firm had
l<oen retained b.T Philip Ormsly. her
husband, to enter a ault against her
for divorce on account of dcsertlim
Mrs. Ormsby put a hat on her head

It and In as quirk time a* she could
get there was In the office of Messrs
Crawshaw. Brlnkerhoff A : Snaffleld
After sending In her name she was j
ushered Into the private office of Mr i
Snaffield. of whom she hud heard her j
husband speak aa one of hi* acquaint- I
ancea.
"I came to ask." ahe said, plucking
up an appearance of severity, "the na
ture of these proceeding* for which
you have been retained."
Mr. Snaffleld tapped a allrer bell. A
hungry looking clerk with a complex
Ion as yellow aa paper a century old
came In and waa Instructed to bring
the papers "In re Ormsby versus
Ormsby."
"1 care nothing about the horrid pa

equanimity at the mere mention of the .
"In re." "1 wish to know whWhor this
suit has actually been begun In the

"Our bnalneas In very extensive." re
piled the lawyer. "It la Impoaalble for
us to keep track of all our caaea The

"1 wish an Interview with my hu*

"An interview between you and the

Trade At Home
IT is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offender* who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue agamst^mail order business.
