I'D*? bad been uarrled a month and
had Just returned from the wedding
Journey. They were about to pass
through a condition similar to au at- ,
mospheric change when a balmy air
encounter* a cool wave, producing a !
?torin.. Sentiment was to give place j
to ordinary existence.
"How did yon cut your chin, dear?"
??Shaving."
These were the only words ?i>.>:;en at j
the breakfast table. The youug hus
band scanned bis paper In silence and j
with a scowl. He was suffering from |
a fooihto li<?. The wife's v ow, too,;
was clouded. She had Invited some |
friends to dinner, and the most de
sirable had regretted. What should
she dw about It? The husband arose, j
kissed her aud took his hat and cane ?
to go out, but before doiug so went
into the library, where he remained a
few minutes, came out and was about
to leave when bis wife stopped him.
"Haven't you forgotten something, i
dear;" she said.
"I? Forgotten? What is 1T7"<
"Oil. It doesn't matter."
"Theu why did you mentiou It? If
It doesn't matter. It would have been
wise not to bother me al>out It."
"Bother you?"
The words were spoken as If re
calling some memory. The husband
stood looking at her. She still sat at
the table. h*r arms resting on those of
her chair.
"Come. Winifred," he said Impatient
ly, "are you going to keep me stand
In* here all day waiting for yon to
ooiue out with what you arv driving
at? My time Is valuable."
"Go on. There Is no necessity for an
explanation "
"Upon my word, 1 like that! You
It 11 u if that I have forgotten some
thing: thru wh?iU I ask what It Is you
<tay AX doesn't matter. Ia there any
thing you wish ine to bring you from
the city?*
"No."
"Anything I am t<? do liefore going':"
"No." '
"\Yell I ?lw;!l ;i>K you no more nues
ttona If j"Wi ire so tmrea#onatjr?-*?
to Mt there pouting -I wont call tt
sulklug-^vidioi l oullghteulug n<e us to
the cause of ,\.n r jrrlevanre. I see no
way for MK'-iiiK lo leave you to tlo
what Mrs. Tain o Shunter did -nurse
your wraui to ktep It warm."
He turned tor.ard the front door,
stopped nnd casr* book.
?'One* uio!* I ask you to prevent an
unpleasant tlaj for Doth of us b? frank
ly telling i:.t- what K? the cause of tbla
quarrel."
"Will you leave ineV"
"H-m! What can one expect from a
woman? Frankness be haugwd! There's
not a mnuly trait In a thousand of
them:"
"Thank heaven for that!"
"Enough of this. I am going down
town."
He put his hat on his head and cram
med it down, denting tte crown by his
violence.
"That's what I have been begging
you to do for five long minutes."
"I wish you to understand. my dear, 1
tlufT if you sit at home all this pleas
ant day making yourself miserable It
Is your own fault. 1 give you fair
warning."
"How many more times are you go
lug to warn me?'
?Not another. What's the use stand
ing here like a fool glvlug warnings to
a woman who hasn't sense enough
to"?
At this point In the debate the flood
Kates were opened, and tears, accom
panied by sobs, poured copiously.
It Is curious ro note the effect of wo
man's tears ou mau. They will either
mollify or Irritate him. For a moment
the husband felt that to break the hall
mirror with his walking stick would
bring infinite relief; then the picture
of helplessness and stupidity (or so be
considered it* before hint touched his
heart, lie ran to Jils wife and put
his arm about her.
"Sweetheart, forgive me! I'm a
brute."
"No; you are a man. aud that's"?
"What, darling?"
"Worse sometimes? that is, when
they act as brutally us you have
acted."
"IV" bristling again. "I>o you mean
to call me brutal**"
"What would you consider a uuuq
who would leave his wife In tho morn
ing. to be goue all the long day, with
out a kiss?"
"lie would be a savage, a beast."
"Then why didn't you"?
"I did."
"You didn't."
"What's that on your chta?"
