Dawson, Oa., April 4, till If “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.
