JAMES CARMLLa WKAKNKHM.
To-morrow U tbe 24th, isn't it, Ma-
"YH it U," answered the young wife
adly. . j-
James Carroll knocked the ashes
from his cigar, held it carefully be
tween the thumb aoi forefinger of hi
left hacd and looked thoughtfully in
to the fire.
Mary' tired finger showed no signs
of weariness, but turned the hem of a
sheet mechanically, and then proceed
ed to baste- it for sewing.
HBulle will be three years old," he
said, interrogatively.
"Three James," replied. Mary, with
out a trace of a bright etnile lighting
op her pretty face. James ge a
few, more wiff'a at his nearly ooDatimed
cigar, but he did riot seem to enjoy it
much. A listener would have pro
nounced Mary a col t unloving wife,
that tbe presence of hr busbaud, or
the return' or her baby's birth-day
failed to please. .
Lookers on and listeners do not al
ways look into tbe depths of the heart
to see what struggles are thsre. r So in
this instance. Another woman whose
life was all sunshine, would have pro
nounced Mary heartless. Poor thing!
She bad too much heart for (his world's
trials. - Her wedding day was a bliss
ful one; her husband tbe ideal of man
ly perfection. His love, unaccompa
nied by wealth was worth more to her
than all the treasures of enrtb. But
a cloud arose to dim the brightness of
her sky. She soon made tbe discove
ry that be was but human ; aud that
the love of wine and possibly some
thing stronger, filled bis heart, as well
as the love of hiswife. He was not
what the world cnllct) an intemperate
man one glass a Uy does not consti
tute a drunkard, why should she fear?
At the end of three-years he took at
least two glasses a day.' What had
she to hope for in yeais to come. ' -
"I wiBh Mary, I was able to make
Belle a present every birth-day, in her
life, but you know that it is nil that I
can do to get along as it is."
"I know.it James," meekly replied
the wife.
James was ill at ease. Something
in Mary's manner disturbed him.
44 What makes vou so solemn and
-quiet, Mary T Why Dot sympathize
with me, and say you know I had a
bard time to get along, and that Belle
can do without presents better than
we can afford to give them 7 Fo
Save me a wood bill this raoruing, and
ames wants to koow when the grocery
bill is to be paid. I don't Tike to
bother with these things, only I want
you to understand that as much as J
love our little girl, I can't afford to
make her presents."
Mary's color rarae and wtnt. Fears
stole into her violet eyes and her
heart beat quick and fast. . . Her trem
bling fingers guided her needle un
steadily, and her stitches were long
and irregular. Three long years she
brooded along over her - husband's
weakness without a reproof, and much
as she dreaded tu speak fib knew her
time had come.
"I wish, dear James, J cuuJJ ecootj
mize in something and save money to
buy our darling a present. It seems
cruel to neglect her birthday so soon."
. HI know nothing you could be more
prudent in, Mary, au you know, I am
as economical as possible, don't you."
It was very hard for the lips ' that
bad uttered ouly the loving words of
Drains to say no ; but a strength not
her own came to her aid, with a sweet
smile, the wife uttered her first re
buke. ' - H i
"Ho, James, I ara grieved , to say
that in some things you are too ex
travagant It must b a sin of ignor
ance, ibr I know if you realized it you
would never wrong your wife and
child."
James started from his seat. His
yes J as lied and his cheeks paled. '
"Mary J you are .cfyl"
"Not crazy, James, but clear-beaded
for your happiness.
' After ihe first shock passed, anJ he
was prepared to listen, she wept on,
and in a clear, concise aianuer, laid
before bim the cause of her bitter
words:
"During the last year you have
drank at Je-t two glasses of liquor a
day haven't you T"
"Why, yes, I suppose so. What of
thatf"
"Ouly ten tents a glass that can't
ruin a man." ,
"Three hundred and sixty-five days
which multipled by twenty cents
amount to seventy-three dollars. And
three cigrs a day, which I fcuow 1
far below your average of smoking,
