Only A Fiinner s Wife.
I 1 wo women sar together ai
j smise! in ilte porch door of a
white cottage that stood under
its "ancestral tree" and among
its fields of wheat and corn, like
a poet s vision of a quiet resting
place tor some wearv. suffering
human soul.
And one of these two women
had eyes to see, ears to hear, and
a heart to feel and appreciate it
all. She was a tall and stately
lady, apparently some thirty
years of age—not exactly hand
some, hut with a grace of air and
manner peculiarly her own. The
careful toilet, the nameless air of
elegance and luxury, the pale
cheek, the soft white hands, be
trayed the city dame. While the
weary glance in her large, dark
blue eyes, which even the quiet
of that sunset hour could not
drive away, showed that time had
not dealt gently with her and her I
heart’s idol, but had thrown
them, scattered and ruined, at j
her feet.
Her companion was some live j
years her junior, and many times
pretlier~-a little round-faced, ap
ple cheeked woman, with dark
blue eyes and dark brown hair,
and a rounded figure that was set
off to the.best advantage by the
afternoon dress of tinted muslin
that she wore.
At present the pretty face was
almost spoiled by a querulous,
discontented expression. She
was contrasting her own hand,!
plump and small, hut certainly
rather brown, with the slender I
white fingers of her city friend
all glittering with rings. “Jusl ;
look at the two!” she exclaimed.
"That comes of making butter j
and cheese, and sweeping, and
dusting, and washing dishes, and 1
making beds all the time. That
man told the truth that said that i
woman’s work was never done.
I know mine ip-vcr is. Mli, dear j
dear! To think that you, Mar
garet, should have married a city I
merchant, and he as rich as a
princess in a fairy tale; and here
lam planted for life, jdain Mrs.
Iliram i’arke, and nothing in the
world to compare with you. I
am sick of being only a farmer's
wife.
M argil ret Yon llowth looked
down id her grumbling little
friend with a sad smile.
"Jenny, il seems to me, its we
sit here in ihis quiet place and !
look out over all these pleasanl :
fields that are your own —it seems 1
to me that, you are almost wicked ,
to talk like that.’"
‘•I dare say. you would never like
il, Margaret. You would never
wish to change places with me.’
"Rerhaps not. Would you not
like to change with me?’
•*Yes."
••And lit; Mrs. Yon llowth, iu
stead of Mrs. iliram I’arke ?”
Jennie hesitated. She dearly
loved her handsome husband.
"Well. 1 don’t mean that 1
want to give up iliram. 1 only
mean that I wish lie was a city
merchant, instead of a farmer,
and as rich as your hiishand is ;
that, is all."
"And that is a great deal.
Jenny, if your wish could lie
granted, do you know what your
life would he?” -aid Mrs. Aon
llowth, eoldl.v.
••What your- i I -uppose.
What ans lady -i- in your posi
I ion."
••Rut what i that life. Do you
know ?"
“How liould I
••Il is a weary one. Jenny, with
more genuine hard work in it
than all your making of hotter
and cheese."
"Oil Margaret!"
••And, oh, Jenny ! believe me.
my dear, there are no people on
earth who work harder Ilian the
fashionables who only have their
own amusements to provide for.
A long life of mere amusement
i a dog's life. Jenny, at the In-st.
■T should like to be Convinced

Jenny, who are by no means fond

1 fashionable watering place in the
hottest days of August, with five
I changes of .toilet between morn
ing and night, and a French
lady’s maid to tyrannize over you
.7*l the time into the bargain ?”
"Horrors!” ejaculated Jenny.
"Balls that you must go to in
spite of fatigue, parties that you
must go to in spite of the heat, l
calls that you must mukeonpeo
pie that you detest! Oil, Jenny
I should far rather he ai home
with the butter and cheese, if I
were you.”
Jenny was silent. Here was
the side of the bright picture
which she had never seen or
dreamed of before.
"You love your husband. Jen
nv ?” said her friend alter a time.
Jenny opened her eyes wide.
"Lovehim! Why, isn’t lie my
husband V was her reply.
Mi *s. N on llowth laughed.
"Some women in society might
think that a reason vvhv you
shouldn’t love him!’ she said,
dryly. “And he loves you. also?’
"I should die tomorrow, if 1
thought he did not.”
"Tut, child. I’eoplc leave llii
world when God wills it, not he
fore. I third say you would stir
vive his infidelity. Many women
before you have lived through
such t(lings.’’
"Don't talk of ii Margaret, t
could not hear it. Why. he is till i
the world te me. How could ij
bear to lose it ?”
"Then don't wish him to he a
city merchant, my dear. I dare
sav there are many good men
in the city—but, on the other
hand, there are so many tempta
tions, especially in society, that
1 sometimes wonder not that so
many go astray, hut that so many
remain true to themselves and
their duty.”
She spoke absently, and her
eyes had a far-away glance, as if
they dwell on other tilings.
Jenny ventured a question.
"Margaret, is yours a happy
marriage? Do you love your
husband? And does lie love
you ?'
Mrs. Yon llowth started and
turned pale.
"Jenny,l would have loved
him—l would have been a good
wife to him—-but he never loved
i me. He brought me to place at
the head ef the house because he
-thought me ladylike and ini >”es!

Y YV IKE'S HELD.
It’s a hard rub to get along,!
little wife, isn't it ?” said Gerald
May, as he closed his account 1
hook and looked somewhat rue- j
fully at a solitary $lO hill which
was all thiil remained of his
month’s salary after the house
keeping bills were settled and
the rent paid, and the onlstand
ing accounts halaneed up -alls
factorily.
Mabel May was kneeling on
the hearthrug toasting a piece of)
bread for her husband’s supper. ’
She turned round, with cheeks’
Hushed i>\ I lie firelight and rosy
lips apart.
“Oh, Gerald,” said -lie.-I do
trp so hard to he economical.”
“Of course you do little chick,”
said Gerald, leaning over to cap
lure one particular curl of red
dish brown hair that was droop
ing in spirals of gold over the
fair forehead, and giving it an at
feet innate lit tie twitch. "Don’t, j
I know that, without your telling |
me ?”
“But 1 u islii could help you,”
cried out Mabel. “Oh, I w ish I
knew of tiny way to earn money
myself.”
Gerald May looked at her with
■in amused smile.
•My dear,’said he, nine .would
as soon expect an oversized doll
to earn money.’
■Other women do,’said Mabel,
critically surveying the slice of
bread to make sure that it was
artistically browned on both
sides.
•Rut you are sueli a child.’
‘I am Iwo and I wonty,’ said
Mabel solemnly.
‘Nonsense !’ said Gerald. ‘Wliat
could you do to earn money V
Mabel colored a little at the
deprecatory tone of the words.
‘Gerald,’said she, ‘I do wish
you would treat me more like a
woman and hiss like a child.
Don’t yon suppose that I have as
lunch talent as the rest of mv

Gerald laughed good humor
