No plcnsnut odol' of a nlcoly cooked ,dkmcr permeated the place, nor did Mrs. Kpxon come to meet him. Mrs. Faxon lmd the club-habit. Mr Faxon did not approve, but he liked 1 peace and quiet In hla home. He scratched a match and applied ; tt to the burner under his dinner. Mr • Faxon did not like that stew, but. in • tt had to be eaten, best to get at tt at soon as possible und have it over with. > The stew lmd begun to bubble wlier [Mrs. Faxon came In. , Her glance rested approvingly on the range. j “You’re so hundy about the house | Henry." she Said. "You’re the sort ol (husband that It 1s a comfort.to| have." Time was when Mr. Faxon lmd fair Ily swelled with pride' at Ills wife’t ‘praise of his doriicstlc accomplish ments. Now It _ mude him 'feel at though he ought to go about wearing In checked bluo-and-whlte gingham 1 apron. Ho merely grunted unintelligibly d* he watched her take up the dinner. | “Well," ho said, ns ho followed hei ’ Into the dining-room, "which club wa« It today?" ; His. air was that of a man deter- 'mined to know the worst. “A new one,” said Mrs. Faxon de lightedly. “In 'Heaven's name, Claudia," said Mr. Faxon severely, "what do you "•rant of nnother . cluh?". Mrs. Faxon sighed. Henry wns sucb ' a difficult person to explain things to “Well, you know," she said, ranking • brave attempt at U, “some of th$ ettjr officials—I think that' Is what Mrs. Barlow called them—don’t do their duty at all, and we’re going to make them.” “How are you going to do It?" Mr Ffcxon made haste to get uway from dangerous ground. So she said: "We’re goln$ to begin with Judge Sinclair. Why, do you Henry, the S. P. O. A. lmd n UP before him the other day foi hating n dog, and he actually let him go. He said the evldonco wasn’t suffi cient to convict him." “So we want a lottor written to 7ndge Sinclair," she said. “Yes," sold Mr. Fnxott cheerfully. "Aad who Is to write It?" “You are." Mr, Faxon dropped his fork with a clatter. “Great' Scott I” ho said. "Olaudlu, we you crazy?" "Henry," said Mrs. Faxon severely, “you always do nttrlbute the veri- worst motives to people. You.ought to be aslmmed." ■ Ho took his fountain pen from his pocket and looltod about for a sheet of imper. Mrs. Faxon promptly supplied It. Then Mr. Fuxon handed the finished epistia to his wife. Shu rend Itattentively nud looltei] up with beaming eyes. “Ob t Henry I” she said. “It couldn’t be better," Mrs. Faxon assured him earnestly. signed It, and afterwards won dered how It had come about. When Mr. Fuxon came home he found Ills wife on her ltuees In the kitchen, oonxlng a small gray kitten to drink' more milk than wus alto, gather good for It. . . “It was In the alloy," She ex ■plained. "And It’s boon mewing all day dreadfully. I Just couldn’t bear to hoar It crying, so I brought It jip Aero." Mr. Fnxoii wout out and dosed the door after him. The kitten’s votee rase several octaves and piercingly followed thrill down the stairs. "Oil," walled Mrs. Faxon, "wlmt Mil Mrs. Sittorlee do? She simply cannot enduro noise." The Sitterlees occupied the flat just below the Faxons. The Faxons then went to the thea ter. The play was one of the* hits of the season, lmt Mrs. Faxon’s atten tion wandered! *■ !3\ree more acts!" she exclaimed pettishly at the find of the first one. • "Why couldn’t they have written It In : two as they do comic opera?" “I know I’m horrid," Mrs. Faxon apologized contritely. "But I simply • can’t get my mind oft that awful klt- • ten. Henry,, do- you suppose It’s still . bowling?” **£I don’t know," said 1 Mr. Faxon. “And',’* he added, with reckless brava do, “I -don’t care." Mr. Faxon opened the door and Stood aside for his wife to pass. “At any rate," he said, "the kit ten’s quiet now.” “Slicautioned Mrs. Faxon. “It’s probably asleep. Don’t wake it." He opened the door and had the surprise of Ills life. The kitten apparently was enter taining company. It perched on the Jn»m of a stout man In* a suit of clothes that spoke for themselves, and purred loudly. “W—w-what ’’ stuttered Mr, Faxon Indignantly. The stout man rose, and thrust an official-looking document at the as tonished Mr. Faxon. “Warrant for your arrest, sir," he said briskly. Mrs. Faxon shrieked, but Mr. Faxon, zed and angry, demanded nn explana tion. and suggested a mistake. “Oh, I guess not," said the Stout ' the you “It man, "when n nice, quiet animal like 1 this" — he stroked t(ie kitten that ! | clung to him affectionately, and Mr. j! Faxon smiled sardonically—"yowls so that the neighbors send In a com plaint, and wfi find It with Its head stuck fast In an empty succotash can, It can mean only one thing." "And ‘what's that?" •demanded Mr. Faxon. "Cruelty to animals.” Mr. Faxon fairly choked with In dignation. “I brought It In from the alley," Mrs, Faxon declared vehemently, “and fed It, and It wouldn't go back, and we left It here while we went to the theater." He checked Mr. Faxon’s further pro tests by a peremptory commend to accompany him to the county's board ing-house "where the windows are 'barred and the simple life Is ob served. It was 3 a. m. when he finally reached home. Mrs. Faxon hud not yet gone to bed. She was pale and. disheveled, and she threw herself Into her husband's nrmB and wept for sheer relief and Joy at hls safe re turn. "I t-r-thonght they h—had you 1—locked up In a horrid c—cell," she sobbed, "Not on your life," scoffed Mr, Fax on. "I’m out on bond,” he explained. "I've got to appear In court at nine In' the morning," he explained. Merely because he believed It to be the expected thing, and not because he considered It In any degree neces sary, Mr.' Faxon engaged a lawyer for hls defense. Thera was not much testimony of fered by either side, hut to such as 'there was he gave the closest atten tion. \ “In my Judgment,” jsaid the Judge, "the evidence Is Insufficient for convic tion. But—complaint hns been made to this court concerning u recent Judg ment of the court In a similar caBe.” He smiled pleasantly at Mr. Faxon, who nudged" hls counsel's elbow. "I say,” he whispered, “who 1b he, anyway?" "Judge Sinclair," returned lawyer in surprise. "Didn’t know?" "But,” protested Mr. Faxon, says Judge Benton on the door." "Oh, yes f they traded court-rooms, you know, and the names haven’t been changed." "And so," concluded hls honor, “thirty dnys In the county Jail," Mr. Faxon’s lawyer leaped to "VVhatl" he shouted. "Five dollars for contempt court,"-said the Judge Imperturbably. ,"I beg your honor’s pardon,v said the attorney! “tiut did your honor mean thirty days or thirty dollars?” 'Thirty days," repeated hls honor Inexorably. "Next; Ferguson vs. Mc Pherson." Mr. Faxon pulled at hls counsel’s sleeve. “It’s all right,” he whispered weak ly. "I understand." The lawyer gazed at him In blank surprise. He thought they were nil going mad together. It wns ^ meek and, crestfallen pris oner whom the jailor received that mornliig. 1 He lunched on'thin bean soup and thick slices of brend, At first bis anger waxed liot against Ills wife. Then Ills loyalty to and loye for her overbore _lt, and It turned ugnltist her numerous clubs. She had Simply been the unwitting' tool of a lot of misguided women, and he—he had been. their dupe. That nlglit tile governor and Judge Sinclair dined together. They had been friends nud cronies for years. So It was no surprise to his excellency, the governor, wheu hls honor, the judge, asked a favor. “I want a purdon,’’ he said, “for a man I seut to jail tills morning.” “For a man you sent to jail this morning?" echoed the governor. "Great Scott! Man, hadn’t you better change your mind tli6 next time, be fore you send him?" ~ The judge laughed and told tlio story. The governor laughed and dispa tched the-pardon by special mes senger, so that Mr. ! Faxon was en abled to reach home only an hour later than usunl. Mrs. Fuxon was not in. In the kitchen were the customary pie—ap ple—and tlie saucepan on nondescript stew. Mr. Faxon looked at them long and earnestly. Then he consigned them both to the garbage-can. “I’m ashamed to look an apple pie In the face," he muttered. After Which he sat down to awatt the return of the mistress of the household. She came In the usual flutter ol hurry nnd apology. Mr. Faxon stood quite two inchei taller than usual, and related quietly and dispassionately, but truthfully, the harrowing experiences of the day. “Glaudlu." said he, In conclusion and with an air of finality, “I think we have had enough of clubs.' hls of Good government cannot he found on the bargain counter.
