"udeed, how's that I can reinorn
her when you rode out together al
most every afternoon.
"Yes, but that was before our
marriage," replied the young wife,
in a voioe that made ber friend look
in to ber faoe narrowly.
"Tbe husband has . less timo for
reoreation than the lover. lie must
give more tbonght for business," re
marked ber friend.
The little wife tossed ber head
and shrogged her shoulders in a

exclaimed the boy, indignantly
"Yes, sonny, suspoot it may be s
but it s a first rate one, for all that
I've not eatou so good a one for six

"There," be added, as ho fin
ished the pie, "take that and go out
and buy yourself a dinner, but you
