Having a suspicion that his condition was worse than his doctor far childronjallowed, ho gave them no peace until hohad extracted an admission that gueh was the cate.

I’ve been a member in good and tegular standin’ this fifty-five year—sud I haln’t arrived at|my age withoutjiwia’ there’s somethin’ In Ilfs betide livin'." He panted, then added with snaecent of pride: “I don’t owe any man a cent, nor never cheated a man of one. Wall, I’ve had quite a spell to think of thtnga In, dnrin’ my tlcknere, and I don’ know but what I’ve enjoyed it considerable. Thought of things all along back to when I was a boy.

Wall, naow," he exclaimed, quite vexed, “I vow for’t if I didn’t forgit to ask him how long! Wall, too late now.

Inquiring la to who had med dled in hia affairs ho traoed tha matter back to Armlda, and coming home mortified and angry, reproached her In unsparing terms ending his recital of srrongs with: ”1 don't know what you did it for, union you sru afraid your half wu going to bo invaded; and if you feel that way you’d hotter keep to your own side and take care of yonr osvn property, I ain’t going to interfere.” Armlda wu powerless to protect herself ex. cept with teare, which did not avail with Lucu.

But there wu a dreadful blow In store for her, Lucu brought a gang of carpenters to the firm, who instituted repairs on hie half of the bonie.

He wu a respectable man, whose only fault wu Jailnus and she hoped that now he would take on Interest. When Aimida and her husband cams back from the minister’s and announced to Lucu that they were married, hia only comment Wes “ Well, a slack help will make a Ihlf’lem husband." Yean went by end Armlda's side of the house fell more and mote Into ruin, while Lu cu, with what Armlda considered cruel care fulness, kept bit In excellent repair and occa sionally renewed the paint. The contrail wu so great that passers-by stopped their horses that they might look and wonder at thsir leis ure. Every glance wu like a blow to Armlda, lethal she avoided her sitting-room and kept herself in the uncomfortable kitchen that wu divided by an Imaginary line directly throagh the middle, a Una never crossed by her brother, her husband or henelf. It wonld have looked aboard enough to' a stranger to see this divided room, with the brother clumsily carrying on bis household affairs on the one side and the (later doing her work on tbe other, with often not s word ex changed between them fbrdayetogether. Ab surd It might be, but it wu certainly wretched. Armlda grew old rapidly. Her husband wu a poor stick, and when u yean passed a touch of rheumatism gave him a real excuse for Iasi- ness, ha did little more than sit by tho fire end smoke, As Armlda sat on the bench under the old rnant apple-tree by tho heck door, one day, regretting her evil Ate, aha heard fuot-itepa approaching, and. puking back her old sun- bonnet, looked up to see a shabby, shambling, oldish man coming around tho side of tha home and auiug in at the windows. “What ye do in' then?” said Armtda sharply. The man turned, surveyed her with a smile, then said will s draw! she remembered.- “I haln’t been gona so long but that I know ye, A nnlda. Don’t yon remembor me?" “Theodore Hnxter.’ la that you? Well,”— and she harried np to him and shook hands violently. “1 heard only last week that fotber wu dead,” be exclafmad. “I sec a nun fram this way and ho uld ha wu gone. How long since?” “More than ten years ago.” ‘Well, I thought I'd come and tee yo.” “I’m glad you did,” tbs uld. “ But como right inandabeled tho way into the kitchen. Ho leaned up sgtinst tht door and surveyed the room. “ I should ’a’ s’poeed I'd havsra. numbered this room, but what ye dona to It? What hsv you got two stoves and two tablu tnd til that for, Armidv?” Armlda told film all, winding up her story with* few tears. “That account* for the looks of tho outside, I s’pose,” wu hia only comment. “I thought ft seaubout the queerest I ever ue. It’s ridlc- ulous! Why haven’t yon and Lncaa straight* ened out afikln bofbre this?" "I can't and ha can't, I a'poaa,” she uld hops* lowly; “and everything makes it worse. I wouldn’t care so much If ha hadn't find np the outside tho way ho did.” “Oh, well now, don’t you fret. If I had money—but then I haven’t.” “How havo you lived sence you left homar’ thin’—and I looked up ud soo ’em cornin’ Hko hudy, down ono of them pitches.

You’d a sight batter got you a new coat.” “I’d rather seo Armlda crying over thet stuff,” said Theodore, “than have a dozen coats. Nobody knows Armlda’s good looking,booautc tha’o no good clothe*. But ah* is. and whan ahe gets that dress mad* np and puta It on with that pink ribbon I bought her lut tlmo, sho’ll look u pretty se s pink.” Not po great a success were tha Vonstlsn blinds that he bought second-handed and gave to Armtda to hang In tha sitting-room. They proved to be In sorry condition, and Theodor* wu moch mortified. Being • handy creature he managed to patch them up so thatthongh they could not be rolled up, they looked very well from the outside, and u ho philosophically remarked: What more do you want, Armldy? A room . j never ut in, yon don't want any light In.” There wu ono thing that Theodore would not do.

Armlda retorted wl "Will, I am," ho allowed; “but tho difference Is, I’n: buy hat work, my fashion, but he’f luy and don’t work at nil.” Though he dladalned Jerry bo would rather do hia tasks than see Anaida's interests suffer, Lucu would at any time give him a helping hand rather than seo Theodore hurt hlmeelr, and so Armlda’s faucet ware meaded and sundry repairs on her barns and out-booses made.

I noticed one of yonr chairs wu a lectio grain onto Anaida’s side tho other night, and that : in’t right” In the middle of an afternoon, u Lucu wu plowing out bU corn, he heard s “hallo!” to which, when It had been two or three timet re peated, he replied, though without looking around, Preeently ha heard some one coming, in ssortof scuffling run and breathing heavily, and looked over bis shoulder to se* Theodore, who dropped into a sralk u Its soled him, and gasped: “Lucu! fiayl Stop!

When both sides of tho front porch wero alike, and the wliolo liouw shone with white paint and there were ns many Winds on ono side of tho liousoas tho other, Lucas turned his attention to that debatable ground, tho kitchen. It was a great day when Armlda was pro- nonmrd well enough to cat breakfast In tho kitchen. Hobbling outjwith the aid of Theo dore's arm she stopped on tho threshold and looked over to whero Lucas stood by Ids win dow. Ito greeted her with, "lion- ars yo, Atmidy ?” but did not leavo his place.
