The { Dutch vessel landed her cargo of pa: triots at Madagascar, where all the Boers remained with the exception of one or two who took to a seafaring life. Among them was Van den Foss heck.

Be fore the Arablan port was reached the schooner foundered and all hands, with the exception of Van den Fossheck and a small Kaffir boy, were {lost.

She had packed up her trunk and her dog and all the brica-brac and tne sofa pillows —and gone, not home to mother, but back to her girlhood boarding house. He had put on his hat and hurried out to meet the boys. The fiat looked as though a whirlwind had struck it As she rose wearily the nex! morn- ing after a sleepless night, she came zradually to the full realization that she was a grass widow. Ah, thal was a relief’ No more quarrels, no nore weary nights of waiting for him to come home from the club. No more —oh, well, she guessed she could earn her own spending money. She was free—{ree to do as she pleased With she started to dress She pulled on her Stockings and shoes. A glance at the latter convinced her that she had been neglecting herseil. The toes were aimost gray for wanl of polish. She pulled things out of her valise and the top of her trunk in a rapid search for shoe polish, when it sud fenly occurred to her that she hadn't a drop of it. She never had had any, in fact. She always used Tom's. Then she took out a nice clean shirt walst and a smart stiff collar. She had struggled into the shirtwaist aod buttoned it down the front, when she discovered, lo her great dismay. that she hadn't such a thing as a coliar button. She searched and searched; but when you've been in the habit of depending on a man for collar buttons for two years vou get out of the habit of carrying them arvund with you impatiently she jerked the stiff shirt. walst off and looked for something else. She thought for a moment that she would put on her Peter Pan suit, but with 8 Peter Pan you have to wear a smart fourin-hand te, and she had always used Tom's fourin-hands 0, very well! She pulled out a dainty muslin waist with an attached collar and slipped her arms into it Alas’ it buttoned up the back. She struggled until she had fastened the two top buttons and then twisted round till her muscies ached to hitch the lower buttons. When she had worked herself into a dripping per spiration and nearly sprained her right wrist, there still remained two mnfastoned buttons at the acute angle of her back. They were the two Tom had always buttoned She finished dressing with a horrible consciousness of her openwork back and wondered what time it was. Alas' she had for gotten to take the family clock. O, if Tom were only there with his watch. She'd write to Tom and a" him to send the clock. After 15 min ntes' search she found the stub of a pencil somewhere at the bottom of her ribbon box. The pencil had no point. Vaguely she Jooked about She knew there was something she wanted It was Tom's razor—to sharp en that pencil! MEANTIME He turned over in bed the morning after the flight of his wife with a feel ing of relief. No more nageing, no more questions when he staid out late Gee! He was going to have the time of his life He started to pull on his boots, but found his feet were warm and the hacks of the oxford tiles stuck to his heels. He got up to look for a shoe: horn. but he could not find one. Then it suddenly occurred to him that his wife had taken her silver shoehorn with her. He got into the shoes as best he could and began to shave When he finished he reached mechani cally down in to a side drawer for the talcum powder and the powder pull They were gone’ He went out into the kitchen and cut a piece of bread ready for toast ing. The kuife slipped and shaved a bit of flesh from his finger. When he had stopped the bleeding he went pack into the dressingroom to look for some court plaster. Alas! that, too, had gope with the powder pull dq the ard t' wife He hunted hizh and low for some cold cream and a cotton rag with which to tie up his wounds, but she had taken the cold cream with her, and he didn’t know where she kept the rags When he had finished a cold and lonely breakfast, he put on his coat and took his hat, prepared to start for town. Just then he noticed that a button was hanging to one thread to his coat. After he had looked the house over from garret to cellar for a needle and a plece of thread, he de cided that he would rather cut the button off. This was a good idea, but it took him five minutes more to dls cover that his wife's scissors were lost to him forever, and to find his jackknife and amputate the button Just as he was slarting out of the house a boy harded him a special de livery letter. It was written with an evidently pointless pencll and he bad some difficulty In making out (ts scribbled words. They were: “Dear Tom—I'm sorry to truuble you, but please send me the clock and your razor and the shoe polish and a collar button—and I'm sorry I sald all those hateful things.” He wondered why his heart seemed to grow suddenly so much lighter, put he wen! inside and wrote this answer as quickly as he could: ‘Dear Girl—Come back home and bring your powder oulf and the scls- sors and the needles; have anyibing NY Cress hwoehorn, * season get away. reduced prices. rT 4 Miggs—No, Miss Grace, | assure you I have never induwiged In flirtation.
