frigidly. "You hnve spoiled my dinner.
Do you rare lo go on with jour own or

Mr. Mott looked longingly nt tho table,
then eiitieatingly nt his wife. I.lko moat
of the tempests It was short-lived. Had
his wife put It Just a little dlffercntlj-.
ho would havo been overjoyed to stay
and eat Susctte's dinner, scant and un
nillng as It might be. For Mr. Mott
loved his home and adored his flno high
spirited wife.
But now his wife did not urge lilm to
stay. lie 'had made a threat and she
evidently expected him to keep It. So
ho retired as gracefully ns he could. He
got his hat and went out with a short,
"good-bj-."
At 11 o'clock Mr. Mott returned. ITe
had stayed away becnubo ho was ashamed
of himself, not because he was sulking.
As a peaco offering he can led with lilm
a. big box of candled fruit, which lie
politely detested, but of which his wife
was extremely fond.
He was surprised to Hud the houe dark.
A low light burned In the hall, but the
rooms on the tlrst and second lloois were
black. The nlace seemed to bo deserted
Not a servant nnswered his ring after ha
had turned on the lights In the library
Bewildered, ho laid his box of candy on
tho reading table and his hand encoun
tered a note:
"Mv Dear Bellman 1 am sure wo will
both be happier apart. If t worn to stay
every day would bring new dlffeicnces
Just as they have been doing lately I am
euro you are not happy, nnd I know I am
getting very nervous from tho strain. I
have my way of doing things, and I am
afraid I cannot learn new ones now.
"I have discharged all the servants but
Susetto, whom I am taking along. The
city is full of good cooks, and I hope you
will find one to suit your taste. Hegret
fully yours. EMZABETH."
Mr. Mott wiped his perspiring brow and
stared into sivaco. He reread the note
twlct, and finally understood that Ids wife
had gone for good.
Days passed and Mr. Mott got along the
best hn could keeping wldowei'a hall Old
Maggie O'Brien had como back to cook
Ills favorite dishes, but somehow they had
lost their flavor. The llrst week or so he
even tried to fotget hla sorrow In old
fashioned solid comforts, such as shed
ding his coat at meal times. But he found
himself sneaking into the discarded gar
ment before dinner was half over.
One Saturday evening he was passing
a shop window the lights of which shone
upon a dozen or so open patusols. He
Btopped, attracted by the riot of color as
a honey bee is to uowers. They were of
every hue and combination, which nnd
excuses In the mucli-inaligped titles
Bulgarian, Persian and Oriental.
Mr. Mott's soul expanded, Then his
heart contracted. Alas there was no one
for whom he could buy one! He stood,
and looked, and longed. Finally he went
inside. Just to ask tho price he told him
belt and emerged n little later, the proud
possessor of six, tanging In shape and
design from a little church steeple affair
of black latin with a huge orange colored
poppy (he aUe of a straw hat, to a flat
green one with red fringe.
He carried them home. Then lie sat
down In (he dark library, holding the big
oblong bundle on Ills knees.
Suddenly lie decided to do it, the leek
less thing that Ills heart not his brain
'had been urslns. lie switched on the
lights and tang for a messenger. Then
ho went into his dinner.
He did not bear the laxlcab stop. The
street door opened and closed emitting
a whiff of kraut into the balmy May air,
But the woman who found the library
empty and was hurrying hack to the dln-i
Ing rpom only smiled. The odor had now
no terrors.
The man at the table had not eaten a
bite- He sat motionless, his chin In his
hand.
Then she flew to him, and taking; hh
lonely face in both her hands, kissed it.
"Jako. dear. I got tha parasols and they
are lovely. Jt was Just Ilka jou all over.
You are big hearted, and generous, and
J am so Jlttlo and mean. Can you forgive
me. dear? I do so want to come back,
and you can have all the cabbage and
