TWO DOZEN BUTTONS
Betty sighed. Now, why she should
have sighed at this particular mo¬
ment no one could tell. And it was
all the more exasperating because
John had just put into her shapely
hand a brand new ten^dollar bill.
And here began tlie trouble-
‘What's the matter?’ he said, his
face falling at the faint sound, and
and his month clapping together in
what those who knew him but little,
called an ‘obstinate pucker.’ ‘Now,
what is it?’
Betty, who had just begun to
change the sigh into a merry little
Intigli, rippling all over the corners
of the red lips, stopped sm.dcnl},
tossed her head, and with a small
jerk in no way conciliatory, sent out
the words :
‘You needn’t insinuate, John, that
( am always troublesome.’
*1 didn’ij insinuate! W lie’s talk¬
ing of insinuating?’ cried he, incens¬
ed at the very idea, and backing
away a few steps, lie glared down
from a tremendous height in extreme
irritation. ‘It’s you \ ourself who
are forever insinuating, and then for
you to put it on me—it’s abomina¬
ble !’
The voice was harsh, and the eyes
that looked down into hers were not
pleasant to behold.
‘And if you think, John Peabody,
tlint I 11 SttliKi , such . things . .
said to me, you miss your guess
that’s all ?* cried Betty, with two red
spots coming into her cheeks as she
tried to draw her little erect figure
up to its utmost dimensions. -For¬
ever insinuating! I guess you
wouldti t have said that before 1 mar
ried you. Oh, you now can, of
course!’
‘Didn't you say it first, I d like to
know?’ cried John in great excite¬
ment, drawing nearer to the little
creature he railed ‘wile,’ who Was
gazing at him with blazing eyes of
indignation. T can't endure every-
tliing !’
‘And if you bear more than I do,'
cr.ed Betty,‘why, then I'll give up,’
and she gave a bitter little laugh
and tossed her head again.
And here t-licy were in the midst
of a quarrel These two who, but a
year before, had promised to love
and protect each other through life!
‘Now,’ said John, and he brought
his hand down with such a bang on
the table that Betty nearly skipped
out of her little shoes—only she con
trolled the start, for she would ha\e
died be ore she bad let John see it,
‘we will have no more of this non¬
sense
Lis face was pale and the lines
around the mouth so drawn that it
would have gone to any one’s heart
to see the expression.
T don't sec how it will change it
or help it, I’m sure!’ said Betty,
lightly, to hide her dismay at the
turn affairs bad taken, and she
ed back the light, waving hair from
her forehead with a
ent gesture.
That hair Joiin had always smooth-
ed when he petted her. tired or dis-
heartened , and called her 'child.*
ller gesture struck to his heart as lie
glanced at her sunny locks and the

‘Oh, ves, there is ,’said Bctlv, slill
in the c cool, ’ calm way •’ that ought c not
to have deceived him. But men
know so little of women's hearts, al-
tliough they may live with them for
years ill closest friendship. ‘You
needn't try to endure it, John Pea-
body, if you don't want to. I'm sure
I don’t care?*
‘What do you mean?*
Her husband grasped her arms
and compelled the meri*y brown eyes
to look up to him.

Betty, provokingly. ‘She wants me
any day, and then you can live
quietly and to suit yourself, and
will be better all around.’
•Inslcad of bringing out a violent
protestation of fond affection, and
remorse , which she fully expected,
John drew himself up, looked at her
fixedly for a long minute, then drop-
ped her arm and said slowly:—
* Yes, it may be, as you say, bet-
ter all around. You know best,’
and he was gone from the room be-
fore she could recover from her as-
tonishment enough to utter a sound.
With a erv, Betty rushed across
t j lc rolt|n f, rst tossing the ten-dol!ar
, savagely as far a® she could
t i )rov - j t atl( j flinging herself on the
com f orta iy lC old so f a> broke into a
fl 0() q 0 f bitter tears—the first she had
shed during her married life.
‘How could lie have done it—oh,
what have I said? Oh, John, John!’
The bird twittered in the little
cage over in the window among the
plants. Betty remembered like a
Hash I ow John and she filled the
seed cup that very morning, how he
laughed when site tried to put the
seed between the bars, and when she
couldn't reach without getting upon
a chair, lie took her in his great arms j
and held her up, that she might fix
it to suit herself. And the words
that he said in his tender way, they
had gone down to tlie depths of her
heart, sending her about her work
singing for very gladness of spirit,
Ami now !
Betty stuffed her fin ers hard into
her rosy ears to shut out the bird’s
chirping.
’If lie onl\ knew why I sigiicd.’ she
moaned <(), my liusbanil! B rlh
will make any differ-
eneo now. Ob, why can't I die?’
How long she stayed there, crouch-
ed down on the old sofa, she ne'er
know. Over and over the dreadful
scene she went, realizing its worst
features each time in despair, until a
Voice out in the kitchen said,‘Betty!’
and , , heavy foothills proclaimed , . , that ,
*
someone was on the , point ‘ . of break-
ing in upon her uninvited. . ,
Bettv sprang tip, cliokcvl hacklier
sobs, and tried with all her might to
compose herself and remove fill trace®
of her ironble.
The visitor was the worst possible
one site could have had under the
cireu instances. Crowding herself in-j
to terms of the closest inti many with
the pretty bride, who with her hus-

^ W elve month pi'evious, Mrs Elvifa
Simmons, had made the most of her
opportunities, and by dint of making
great parade over helping her in
same domestic work such as house-
cleaning, dress-making, and the like,
the old lady had managed to ply her
other avocat on, that of newsgather,
at one and the same time, pretty ef-
feetually.
She always called her by her first
name . though Betty resented it; and
s |,e made a great handle of her friend*
ebi p „„ every occasion, making John
rage violently and vow a thousand
times the old gossip’ should walk !
But she never had— and no; scent- ;
ing dimly, like a carrion after Hs
prey, that trouble might come to the
pretty little white house, the mis*-
CUief-raakcr had come to do her

begun.
‘Been ,, crying! . ,, she , said ..
than' ; more
plainly politely, sinking down
into the pretty chinta-covered rock-
ing-chair ® with an energy that show-
cd that she meant to stay, and made
the chair ercafe fearfully. ’Folks do
say that you and you husband don’t
live happily; but la! I wouldn’t
mind. I know'taint your fault.’
Betty’s heart stood still. Had it
come to this! John and she not
live happily! To be sure, they
didn’t as she remembered with a
pang the dreadful scene of words
and hot tempers; but had it got
around so scon?
With all her distress of mind, he
was saved fYom opening her mouth.
So Mrs. Simmons, failing in that,
was forced to go on.
‘An’ 1 tell folks so ' she said rock-
t
ing herself back and forth to witness
the effect of her words, when they

if things don’t go easy for you, I’m
sure i*
‘You tell folks?’ repeated Betty,
vaguely, and standing quite still,
'What? I don’t understand.’
‘That the blame is all his’n,’ cried
the old lad}*, exasperated at her
mood and her dullness. T say, says
I, why there couldn’t no one live
with him, let alone that pretty wife
lie’s got. That’s what I say, Betty,
And then I tell ’em what $ queer
man he is, how an’—
‘And you dare tell people such
tilings of my husband?’ cried Betty,
drawing herself up to her extremest
height, and towering so over the old
woman in the chair that she jump¬
ed in confusion, and stared blindly
into the blazing eyes and face rosy
with righteous indignation. Her
only thought was how to get away
from the storm she had raised, but
could not stop. But she was forced
to stay, for Betty stood just in front
of the chair, and blocked up the way’,
so she shrunk back into the smallest
corner of it and took it as best she
could,
Mv husband !’ cried Betty, dwell-
ing with pride on the pronoun—*at
least, if they were to part she would
say it over lovingly as much as she
could till the lastmomont; and then,
when the tune did come, people
should know that it was not John's
fottlt—the the kindest, the
noblest husband that ever ns gt-en
to a woman ! I’ve made him more
trouble than you can guess; toy hot
temper has vexed him—I've been
cross and impatient, and’ —
‘Hold on!’ cried a voice, ‘you’re
talking against ray wife!’ and in a
moment big John Peabody rushed
through , . the door, . grasped , the ,, little
woman in his arms, and iriiii folded

Simmons.
‘Oh!’ said Mrs. Simmons, sitting
up straight and settling her spcctac-
les more firmly.
■And, ’ now that you J have learned
all you can,’ said John, turning
around to her, still holding Betty,
'you may go !’
The chair was vacant. A dissolv-
ing view through the door was all
that was to be seen of the gossip,
who started up the road hurriedly,
leaving peace behind.
‘Betty’, said John, some half an
hour afterward, what was the sigh
for? I don t care now, but I did
think, dear, and it cut me to the
heart, how, you might have married
t idier. I longed to put ten times
ten into your hand, Betty, and gall-
ed me because I couldn't.'
Betty smiled and twisted away
from his grasp. Running into
best, bed-room, she presently
turned - still smiling, with a bmiule
rolled C p in a clean towel, I his she
put on her husband’s knee, who star-
at her wonderingly.
‘I didn't mean,’ she said, unpin-
ning the bundle, ‘td get it out ntjw,

gown,‘had to do with the sigh.’
‘Tuat,’ said Bettv, and then she
broke into a mcrr\ T laugh, and got so
mixed up with the dimples and the
dancing brown eyes that for a mo-
ment she could not finish. ’Oh,
I was worrying so over those buttons
They weren’t good, but they were the
best 1 could do them And I’d only
bought them yesterday. Two whole
dozen. And when you put that
dollar bill in my hand, I hardly knew
it,but I suppose I did give one little
sigh , for I was so provoked that I
had not waited till to-day to buy
them!’
John caught up the little woman,
dressing gown and all. I don't
think they have ever quarrelled
since—at Jeast I never heard of it.—
