“ONLY ABUTTON.”
A cheerful south room, with a
buy-window full of blossoming
plants; a bright lire glowing behind
a burnished grate; a carpet whose
soft, velvety pile was shaded in
blues and wood colors to corros-
pond with the damask-covered fur
niture; and a little gilded clock,
which had just struok nine at night
—all these things met Mrs. Chick-
erly’a oyo as Bite laid down her
I took and yawned ns widely as her
ripe chorry of a mouth would ad
mit.
She was a plump fairfuced young
matron of some four or five and
twenty, with bright auburn hair,
soft blue eyes, and a complexion
whoso rosos stood in no need of
artificial rouge lo lighten their
charms, while her dress of soft
crimson merino was exquisitely
adapted to her semi-blonde style.
‘•Fanny,” said Mr. Chickerly
looking up from his newspaper
"did you call ou those Carters to
lay?”
“No; I never thought of It.”
“And they leave town to-morrow
morning; and Carter is absurdly
sensitive to all slights, fancied or
real. Fanny, I desired you to make
a point of calling.”
“Well, I did intend to, Frank,
pouted Mrs. Chiekerly, “but one
can’t tbink of everything.”
1 You cannot, it seems.”
“It appears to me that you are
making a mountain out of a mole
bill,” said Fanny, rather tartly.
“It may alfoct my business very
seriously. Carter’s house curries
great influence with It.”
Mrs. Chickerly was silent,patting
the velvet carpc'l with her foot In a
manner that indicated some annoy,
anee.
“I shall have to leave here very
early to-morrow morning,” said her
husband, presently.
“To go to Scenersville, about
Aunt Elizabeth's will?"
“Yes.”
“Oh, I wouldn't, Frank.”
“Why, not?”
“It’s such bitter cold weather to
travel in, and Aunt Klizul>elh is
such a whimsical old woman, it’s
as likely as not that she’ll change
her mind about making a will when
you get there. I would wait a lit
tle, if I were you.”
Mr. Chickerly smiled.
“That would be your Bystem of
doing things, Fanny, but not mine.”
“My system, Frankl Wlmt do
you mean?”
“I mean that you believe in put
ting things off indefinitely, and not
always in the wisest manner. I
wish you’d break yourself of that
habit, Fanny. Uelieve me, it will
some day bring you to grief.”
Mrs. Chickerly contracted her
pretty eye-brow-.
“I don’t believe in being lectur
ed, Frank.”
. “And I don’t very often lecture
you, my dear; pray give lue credit
i’or that.”
“You didn’t tbink you were mar
rying an angel when you took me,
I hope."
“No, my love. I thought I was
marrying a sweet little girl, whose
few faults might bo easily cor
rected."
"Faults! Have I any great fuults,
Frank?"
“Iiittle faults may sometimes en
tail great consequences, Fanny.”
“If you scold me any more 1
shall go out of the room.”
“You need not, for I am going
myself to pack my valise. Uy the
way, there’s a button off the shirt I
want to wear to-morrow. I wish
you would come up-stuirs and sew
it on (or me.”
“I will, presently.”
“Why can’t jou come now?”
“I Just want to flnisli this hook;
there’s only one more chapter.”
And Fanny opened tier volucm
resolutely that her husband
thought it best not to contest the
question.
Sitting all alone in front of the
bright fire, Mrs. Chickerly gradu
ally grew drowsy, anil keforo she
knew it she had drifted off into
the shadowy regions of dream
land. She was roused by the
clock striking eleven.
“Dear me, how lato it-isl” she
thougiit, with a little start. “1
must go upstairs immediately,
There, I lorgot to tell cook about
having breakfast at five to-morrow
morning, and of courso she’s abed
and asleep by this time. I’ll be
up early enough to see to it my
self—that will be just as well.”
And iaying this salve to her con.
science, Mrs. Chickerly turned off
the gas and crept drowsily up the
stairs.
“Fanny, Fauuy, it’s past Qve,
and cook hasn't come down stair*
yet. Are you tore you spoke to
her last night.”
Mrs. Chiokerly rubbed her eyes
aud stared sleepily around.
“Oh, Frank, I forgot all about
speaking to her last night,” Bho
cried, with conscience-stricken face.
“But I’ll run right up—she can have
the breakfast ready in n very few
minutes.” -i
She sprang ont of bed, thrust
her feet into a pair of silklincd
slippers, and thfew a shawl over
her shoulders.
Mr. Chickerly bit his lip and
checked her;
“No need, Fanny," he said, a lit*
tie kittcriy. “I must leave the
house in fifteen minutes or miss
the only through train. It’s of
use speaking to cook now.” <•
“I am so sorry, Frank.”
Mr. Chickerly did not answer;
he was apparently absorbed in turn
ing over tlie various articles in his
bureau drawer, while Fanny sat
shivering on the edge of the bed,
cogitating how hard it was for her
husband to start on u long journey
that bitter morning without uuy
breakfast.
“I can make a cup of coffee my
self over the furnace lire," she ex
claimed, springing to her feet.
But Mr. Chickerly again inter-
posed:
“Sit down, Funny, please,
would rather you would sow this
buttou ou tho neck of my shirt, I
have packed the others—lho3o that
arc Ut lo wear. I have shirtsenongh
hut not one in repair.”
Fanny crimsoned as she remem
bered how often, in the course of
the last month or two, sho Imd
solemnly promised herself to de
vote a day to the much-needed reno.
valion of her husband's shirts.
She looked around for her thim
ble.
“I left it down Btairs last night.
I’ll gel it in a minute!”
The housemaid had just kindled
a fire in the sitting room grate; it
was blazing and crackling cheerily
among the fresh ooals, and Fanny
could not resist the temptation of
pausing u moment to warm her
chilled Angers and watch tho green-
isli-purplo spires of flame shoot
merrily up the chimney, until she
heard hor husband’s voice oaliing
her imperatively.
“Fanny! Funny! what are you
doing?”
“Ob, dear,” thought the wife, as
sho ran upstairs, “I wish Frank
wouldn’t bo so cross. He’s always
in n hurry.”
Little Mrs. Chickerly never slop
ped lo think that the reason was
that she, his wife, was never "in a
hurry.”
Tho needle threaded, the thimble
flttcd on, un appropriate button
was next to be selected.
“Oh, dear, Frank, 1 haven't one
the right size!”
"Sew on wlmt you have, then
but bo quick!”
But Fanny wns quite oertain
there was “Just the right button”
somewhere in her workbasket, and
>cd to search for it.
here, I told you so!" site cried;
triumphantly holding It up on the
point of her needle.
“Well, well, sew it oq quick,”
sail! Mr. Chickerly, glauciug at his
watch nervously.
"That’s just your worrying way,
Frank; as if anybody could sow a
button on well in a hurry. There!
iny needle has come unthreaded!”
“Oh, Fanny, Fanny!”sighed her
husband, fairly out of patience at
last, “why didn’t yon do it last
night, as I begged of you? I shall
miss the train; and what little
we had of a place in Aunt Eliza
beth's will, wiar.c sacrificed to
your miserably' -dbit of being al
ways behind f'id."
Fanny a0i him the shirt and
began to romper a little; hut Mr.
Chickerly bad neither the time nor
tho inclination to pause to soothe
her petulant manifestation ofgiief.
Ho finished his dressing, caught up
his valise with a hurriedly.spoken
“good bye,” and ran down stairs,
two steps at a time, intotiie street.
“There he goes," murmured
Fanny; “ami lie’s gone uway cross
with me, and all for nothing but a
miserable button! I wish there
wasn't such a thing as u button
in the world. (A wish which, wc
much misdoubt, many another wife
than Mrs. Fanny Cbiokorly has
echoed, with porhaps uctlcr rea
sons
Mrs. Chickerly was sitting down,
to her littlo dinner a la mitaire,
with a daintily-browned chicken,
tumbler of currant jelly and a curly
buuch of celery ranged before her,
when, lo her surprise, the door
opened and in walked her lord and
husband.
"Why, Frank, where on earth
did you come from?” cried the as
tonished wife. t -
“From the office,” aoolly answer-
td Mr. Chiokerly. 1 ^
“But I thought you were..off for
Scenersville, in such a hurry?”
“I found myself just live minutes
too late for tbo train, alter having
run all tire way to tho depot.”
“Oh, that was too bad!”
Chickerly smiled a little as he
began to carve the cbioken.
“Yes, I was a little annoyed at
first, it did seem rather provoking
to bo kept at home by only a but
ton.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Why, I shall make a second
start to-morrow.”
“I’ll seo to it that your breakfast
is ready this time to a second, and
ail your wardrobe in trim," said
Fanny, rather relieved at the pros
pect of a chance to retrieve her
character.
“You need not. I have engaged
a room at a hotel near tho depot. I
can’t run any more risks.”
He did not speak nnkindly, and
yet Fanny felt that he was dim
pleased with her. •*
“But, Frank ” J
“Wo will not discuss the matter
any further, my love, if you please.
I have resolved to say nothing more
to you about reforms. I see it is
useless, and it only tends to foster
an unpleasant state of feeling be
tween us. Shall I help you to
some maoaroni?”
And fairly eilenccd, Fanny ate
her dinner with what appetite was
left to her.
Thro days afterward Mr. Chiok
erly onca more made bis entrance,
just at dusk, carpet-bag in band,
as Fanny sat enjoying tho roddy
shine of the coal-lire and the con
sciousness of having performed her
duty iu the mending and general
renovating of her buabandV.dWV.
erful of shirts—a job which she
had so long bocn dreading aud
postponing.
“Well, how is Aunt E'lzabotk?”
questioned Fanny, when her bus-
band, duly welcomed and greeted,
had seated himself in the opposite
easy-chair.
“Dead," was the brief reply. .
“Deadl Ob, Frank! Ofberold
enemy, appoplexy?”
‘•Yes."
“Was her will made?”
“It was. Apparently she had
expected me, on the day she her
self Imd appointed; and on my non-
arrival In the only train that stops
she sent for the village lawyer,
made her will, and leit all her
iroperty.to the orphan asylum in
Icenersvillc, with a few bittor
words to the e treat that the neglect
of her only living nephew had In
duced her on tbo spur of the mo
ment to alter her original Intention
of leaving it to him. She died the
next morning.”
“Oh, Frank, how much was it?”
“Ten thousand dollars.”
Thera was a moment of silence',
and then Mr. Chickerly added,
composedly:
“You see, Fanny, how much that
missing button has cost me!”
Fanny Chiokerly sat like one
condemned by the utterance of her
own conscience. Not alone the
one missing button, hut the scores
—nay, hundreds—of trifling omis
sions, forgetfulness and postpone
ments which made her life one end •
less endeavor to “catoli up” with
the transpiring present, seemed to
present themselves before her
mind's eye. What would this end
in? Was not the present lesson
sufficiently momentous to teach
herself in a diflorant school?
She rose and came to her hus
band’s side, laying oue tremulous
hand ou Ills shoulder.
“Thera slmll be no more missing
buttons, my lore,” she said ear-
neatly.
Hu comprehended all that she
left unspoken, and silently pressed
the little hand in his own; and not
a word was said more tbaa this
upon the subject. •• • •• .1
But Itwasnotforgotton. Fanny
Chickerly set herself resolutely to
work to uproot the rank weedf
growing in tho garden of her life.
