Her hair brush and one tiny siipi-r lay
jiu-t un-U-r Ihe iohls of her uiotber's ea'.ieo
thiss wood colored field with a white
vine meandering across it. .Marian stood
up and hlatok out the hi tie rose-colon-d
dress just finished, folded it carefully an 1
laid it away ; then up went the easy cali
co sleeves to the white Krisht-tl elbow,
and the little woman counted herself ready
for her kitchen the one room lying la
yond this. She was ihe wife of a me
chanic one of the happy jnor men who
earned their bread by ihe sweat of their
brow, yet live the life of the soul on the
level abive that of the body. And this
woman was like many another woman
throughout the length and breadth ot the
country. She hail Ixvn in refinement and
comparative ease, ami her heart was as
sensitive as a mimosa plant. IL-r mtod
was not common, nor yet, at the other
extreme, that of being intellectual. It
was an evt-n mind a finely balanced one
a mind, whose width and depth was
wide and deep enough to take in the true
issue of the truest life. Here was a
happy home ; bumble and real, simple,
but elegant in its simplicity. It was made
pweet by lov, and that free and easy in
dependence which is cx;eriencvd bv those
who live within a certain limit, and feel
content not to go out of it, knowipg
enough is enough and more is a fuihji iIu

Only one fhadow lay across this little.
home only one cloud reached downward,
seeming ready to deluge it with darkness,
lint Marian Elmer locked the skeleton up
and turned the key : and though it was
still there, she tried to think it could not
pick the lock.
John Elmer rame in presently and sat
down by the shaded window. The Kift

black hair, which iMaiiau was proud of,
was lifted carelessly from his foiehead,
gei.tl v as her dear hand was wont to touch
if. He was a tall sh-nder fellow, yet
finely built, with a full broad h.-st and
slender sinewy arms that looked as if
made for protecting just sm h a thing as
.Marian all through the days of hi r life.
His hands did not look much as if th.-y
had worn kid gloves, but they were just
such hands as a weary wommi would
cling to for assistance and upholding when
trouble was near or a hope bad failed her
He sat very tpii.-t, wiifi the soft, seemed
air blowing over him, and looked about
the sitting room. It was very pleasant
Marian's pretty little trilles were scattered
here and there pictures of her drawing
hung in mod, st f rames made of pine cones
and shells against the walls. There was

that had Oiteli ri fleeted tier facv there
was her low rocking chair she sat in every
evening and rocked their baby to sleep
her work basket with an end of edging
haneing by the side. Then he looked at
tie.' rattle s;nd shook it. It seemed like a
funeral beil. The slipper he touched as
reverently as a child puts out its hand to
touch the white f ;ee of its dead mother.
Marian came in smiling, with a pink l!u-h
on thv cheek ; she had Ir-cii making tea.
" Why John! You here? You came
in so sihnlly I never heard you. Tea is
ready for you."
She ca::n: up close to him as if to draw

drew her to his knee; he looked h.ng and
g'-nliv into her ckar ivy ejes, and then he
asked her :
Do you love me, Marion?"
I 'Jay fully drawing his face against hers
she ki.-sed him for .111 answer.
She drew him closer and shuddered as
rhe embraced him.
44 If there were no skeleton there?"
thought Marh.n.
.John Elmer sighed and put her from
his knee, and rose up and followed her
into the kitchen. No silver graced their
table, but the plain rpicenware dishes
were spotlessly clean the table linen like
snow. A freshly gathered b quel stood

Ma; inn poured John's tea. and watched
him drink it kviii.-hly, but he would not
eat.
44 What is th matter, dear, arc you
sick ?" questioned she.
'4 Only tired," said lie with a weary
liKik.
After the table was cleared and the
kitchen on e mote in order .Marian went
in and sat down on her husband's kn -e
ami looked tendeily up in his face, say
ing :
44 I know you work too hard John.
You must be careful of yourself. Some
of these days you will take si.-k and die,
and then what will become of poor litile
(Irace and me? Oh John it would ki'.l
mc t lose you !" and a tear fell wilfully
down against her cheek.
Her husband did not answer, but he
felt truly that such a tender flower needed
teud.-r and loving cure, or it would lie
blighted. He looked out of the window
the lan lscae looked drearv.
44 I am sure you do not look well ; what
can I do for you ?"
John Elmer forced her anxious faee
down uiKJii his bosom that he might not
see how sweet it was, then he said:
44 Maiian, wife, I have unpleasant news
for yeui ; can you listen to me now? It
will effect us materially."
His speech blinded her perception. She
asked :
4 I lave your wages been red need ? I
know o!J Mr Hugh i very stingy. Per
haps we can get along though, if we are
ery saving, if the winter is to le hard. I
could get along almost any how with you
and tlie baby."
The strong man Itowcd his head over
hers and groaned. The trial of their lives
was iijon them. How should he tell her
the awful truth !
" Marian," he faltered, 44 Maiian, I
am drafted."
She started showed him a white, ter
rified face and then was very Mill- It was
over. I If had told her, and that patient,
passionate, earnest heart had lteen sen
tenced to its torture. She Say very still
in his arms, moaning as one moans when
hope has been uverc-ome by life. This
was ihe skeleton she had tried to hide,
and, now, naked, distinct and terrible
how ghastly it stood up Ix foie her ? What
a woman's heart suffer.- what it breaks
with, wit coming to this child woman.
Baby Grace walked up and stretched
out her arms and smiled. Marian rose
