pulled hack, o no chance waa left the
ean fr doinj; lt than its whole dt:!y.
A preat b-ju.j'iet c-fautdsun gra.J-.es and
lltiil'y g'j'den rod rtste.l in a pretty vase.
'"A new chain' er set and it w ill h
nice," and lira. Mayler h.lf clcsd her
eytsand toi-k in the tuppostd eiiVci.
Thtn for the twentieth tiinn, p-riiAp,
she went owr the Mtn:C read, cao-a'.at-ing
how much Ler chicken, and turkeys
would l.-rius.
"Ami if they are ai fair as I think, 1
will lay by en-.ivh fer Chri.-.tnis t res
enlH ail around and f'ibs.-rile for that
journal too," and with a liht heart and
smilinz face she hurried down stairs.
Hahy wast bi:sy with his blocks, fi ahe
went into 'he kilchea to j r;;'are sapper
j'lt herix-lf and Jed and little iiiy
Clue and a quietly Iiappy family it
Imd ever been. If it km hard fcae
times (o bear and forbear, they tried
for love's wcet Pake. And if Janet s
trie ofler.c-st to j iftld neither aeetned to
nt.lice it. O-ily a look at bc-r bright,
lovii:g face and one might euem t-h J was
very well accustomed to f jrgetlin No. 1
altogether; aad he he w.ta a min.j ni
an easy-p.jiLg man, that was ail.
A fur fopjr the pju'try was :Vl fchtit
op in their houses f.-r to-tsoirow'a Pale,
and after an alojct R-td g.d-Ly tlini-t
the next morning saw part of her hard
eunim-r's work roll away over tho hiil
tomatkft. It waa TueS-lay.
' And a'wrt Friday Caby and I wi'i
g. to town and invest onr uioney," and
she laughed almcsc like a child aa tLe
tossed the baby up.
"Papa's coa.in, baoy mine,"' aud
down to the pi's ol.e carried her boy
for Lis delightful ride up to t!ie baru
with papa.
"How did they noil, Jed? Ft, were
they?'' ihe askel when the wagon ttnp
ped at the barn.
Fat as butter acd got the higlx-Et
ptite."
"Cah ?" and she patted old PriJe oa
Lis velvety nose.
Yes," and he led the horss into
their Btalla.
Supper pifcinj hot," she callc 1 bark
over h;r bhoulder, aa she went to the
house.
Sapper patted pleasantly, Jed ro'.a'-
irg all the newi from t.wn and t'uc iit-
enirg and firedini; baby, e- ing on fre-
qneut j jiJ.-neya into the little b!to:n-!t-s
month after stray crusts or othei
forbidden matter whivh bappet'.el too
near.
"And now let me have it, Jed, ail in
my hand, aud gee if it's worth the con
stant care and woi k I've endured," and
oue ftt the boy on hia kcte.
' What, Janet?" and hs locked at her
absently.
' My tconey," aad still Ler hand wes
oiitstrctcLcd.
Why, w iiV, I paid f or the bindirg
twine w ith it."
"You did! and yea Biti.I last spring:
'P.j ycur best and rap the proceed.,' "
and her eyes flashed indignantly.
"Why, I didn't sappoe you had. any
use for it, and yon are re3pin? the jiro
ceeds when the debts aw paid," and he
tried to look naturally.
"But that waa ruiue, earned pulticg
in over Lour3 and extra dya," and she
c: uld not hide a eob.

Days, weeks and months passed until
little I5oy Clue waa a little man of three.
During that time Janet ha 1 been a pa
tient wife to a good husband, but she
was wiser, and that little lesson learn

ake of her independence, for the sake

She bad discarded her idea of rawing

When Caby was still a little sleeping
bundle, Jed had brought into the kitch
en a tiny calf. It was a raw, bitter cold
day and the little thing was almost dead
when discovered.
"Might as well kill it and have done
with it," Jed suggested.
"Oh, no; let it live if it can," Janet
pleaded.
"Well, fin with it if yoa want to and
you can have whatever it amounts to.
It was days before it could stand alone,
but by and by it began to get interested,
it seemed, in its own life, and grew and
waxed strong. Its legs were very short
but atubby and firm. It had always

her her share. Cut not a word was saH,
so she reminded him of it.

'Wtli, of course, you'll have the last

S'ni'.e naturally as he turned to go.
"Wait! wait! acd so yoa claim you
have a right to sell my property and
keep my money," aad she looked at him
Lauihtily.
"I say it's ours. If yoa ne! a new
dress or anything, say so," aad he slam
med the door.
he did not so'i this time; she was
thoroughly iadignact aad proceeded to
carry out her plan.
As Eooa as he was gone she took Ciby
acd walked a mile to see a man who
hud lorg wanted to bay a to-year-o!d
colt of tht in. At one time Jed had al
most accepted the oli'er, next thought
better of it, and would not let the colt
go. She found little trouble in closing
the tiar..in, he supposing Jed had 6ent
her. Her only fear had been from his
inability to pay cah. Bit he ban lei
her the money and fihe told him he
mL'ht take his property.
.So when Jed C4ne home at niiht he
found aa empty tt.i!!. He hurried into
thehou.-.?. His step sent the b!oo.l a
little fa-'.er.
"Where is Topsy, Jen? His stail is

"No one aakei yoa to," he aas-rered
doggedly.

"I will not be a h-a-pecked husband,"
and he gave the cat a smart a'ap which
sent it out of the rojkinj chair aad out

"Nor I a dependent, biding, grovel

This was getting to b? pretty seriou;.

if the should sell him !
Cac'i over their married Kf-i he wir.f,
and with a lo ir drawn sin he remem
bered Janet's capAbiiitics of carrying
out whatever she deemed necessary.
Then be began to walk np an I down,
whihj Janet ia the next room, tried to
ascertain the hrceneas of the storm by
the heaviness of his tread. Soddenly
it ceastrd. He poked his head in through
the doer ay.
"Wei', what do yon want?"
"I did not speak," Jacet snswered in
nocv'it'y. "Ni, vihatdoyouexpwt me to do, to

His scorn turned to anger as she fin
ished. "As long as I am a husband, T atn the

stalked out of the house in a furious
rage.
"I wonder if I have lost, Jiaet rajaa
ed, as she sank down helplessly. "Cat
I will not yield. I will try once more,"
and so feverishly she brought down her
trunk, dragged it down, rather, and set
it in a consscientious place.
Then she slowly went throag'a the
process of packing but aha did not cob
Tence until time for Jed to come in af
ter the milk pails.
He saw her boaily at wtrk, and bis
heart sack within Lim. Bat he went
out again, to Janet's dismay. He could
not endure it long, however.
"What are yoa doing, Jen?" and be
paused on his make believe errand.
"Packinu."
'For what ?"
"Going home to see mother," and she
looked so unconscious cf bis presence
as she tosed some spools to little Boy
Cine, that he was thoroughly disarmed.
"Say, Jen, I surrender."
"Oa what terms?"

"Frul shares, and yoa your extras."
"Very well. Here are six ilo'.lars. I
took oat r.f the money jnst what my

amounted to, and I hid this over."
"No, keep it," he answered generous

"Ah, but that's a secret," and al e
laughed g-'.i!y. "Ask his owner."
"IVin't, Jen don't ! o'.ilsh roa

"Fin not. I'm Mrs. Janet Mayler,

The bow-legged inaa gave a tug cn

"Here's a man who djn't know a dawg

They started to move alung, w hen the

"What good woo'd it d me to ttil

The spruce looking man thought

The do,a ow ner was insaited. There

the matter was compromised by a rath

The dog and money charged owners.
The spruce looking n-an examined his

"Can't be possible he ia a (jerman dog,

The bow legged man edged toward the

"Well, you're about tight for once oU

"All right, then. Kisa in court, an' I
