They had been married five years nd love had lasted as It generally does last if the first critical six months of matrimony can be tided over without disaster. He, Jack Alston, was a fortunate young man (who had stepped into his father's shoes shortly after being wedded to Clara Fayworthy, the girl of his choice. Prosperity and happiness had waited on them from the commence ment of their married life. There were no children; but Jack did not ,want any to divide his wire's atten tion, and he scarcely noticed her ideep disappointment as each succeed ing year brought no change. Clara adored him, and he was one t those men who liked to be wor shiped. Her negative qualities suited Uilm exactly. He played upon her sympathies and mental susceptibili ties as upon the responsive vibra tions of a musical Instrument. If he (wore glad, she must share his glad ness; if things had gone wrong with Ibim from the loss of a collar-stud to a depression in the money market his glum humors must infect her also. If it pleased him to discourse Intellectually, his wife sat at his feet, ins was expected of her, and listened (with proper reverence to the words ef wisdom. As for Jack, he was juBt the sort of man to inspire a delirious kind of (Idolatry iu one of those simple and (trusting natures that can only be Ifound among the women. He was tall, gazed unspeakable things out of m pair of limpid brown eyes, and con cealed the weakness of his mouth and chin by a heayy, drooping mus tache. These outward charms were considerably heightened by a lean ing toward art in general. . ' Jack sang sentimental songs in an untrained tenor voice, leaving out, with marvelous resource, only the superfluous harmonies in the accom paniment. He sketched from nature In water colors, putting in the sky fwith a circular movement of the fore finger, and bestowing a painful at tention on unnecessary detail. He (wrote obscurer poetry than Brown ing, and was much addicted to finding meanings in unintelligible passages of minor poets that nobody else pre tended to understand. Can any person wonder that Jack's Wife looked upon him as a genius, nd felt every day more grateful to the fate that had linked her to the 'destiny of so noble a specimen of mankind? Of Clara little need be said, except that she was pretty when he married tier, and her unformed character was icaptivatlngly feminine and mould ftble. Such traits are the paradise f the 80lQsh man, and Jack was not mistaken from .his egotistic point of (view In believing that he bad se cured a .treasure. Everything that could make home life attractive was combined in Clara's lovable qualities nd quiet domesticity. In the win ter, when Jack came home cold- and tired from city routine, a cheery wife iwas sitting waiting for him by the tea table, the kettle simmered on the bob, ready to make tea the moment pue should appear, and down by the fireside a warm pair of slippers rested (gainst the fender. ) Then I blush to write It Jack (would fling himself into the armchair (that had been drawn up for him close to the blaze, while the adoring little (woman went down on her knees and rondld the laces of his boots. If he iwas in a good temper he patted her Bluffy head with amiable condescen sion, but if he happened to be out of humor he flung his foot at her in kurly Bllence, or growled Bt the vorld dn general, and her clumsiness in particular, all the time that she was performing that humble office for Biim. I Jack belonged, Iu fact, to the type fchat men of finer material long to pxick, but which, for some inexpllca pie reason, possesses an enduring uusciuauou tor tne class or women who are least capable of defending (themselves against masculine mas tery. Judging by appearances, five years or wedded bliss had not treated Clara bo well as her husband.

The result was a chronic cough that irritated Jack. a good deal at night, and a heavy doctor's bill, at which be swore so tremendously that be screwed the money out of her housekeeping allowance, and began to pay off the debt by instalments. Later on, however, Jack found It out, aod nearly frightened the poor little woman out of her wits by the wrath ful manner in which he scribbled the check for the balance, and threw It t her with some ungracious remarks about her Intelligence. One evening the Alstons went to an "at home," Social obligations soon (Parted husband and wife in the "crowded drawing room, but the tat iter's affectionate eyes caught many jsMmpset of Jack as he passed to and tfro. greeting new friends and making mew acquaintances. -. V "Who was that woman, Jac she utsked later on, when they got a chance to exchange a few words, likeness to you," returned her hus band, soothingly. "Is that really so, Jack?" she asked, smiling through her tears. "Of course, you goose! Have you ever known me to take a fancy to any other woman before?" "N no!" "Well, then, I think you ought to feel flattered at my going out of my way to be civil to a girl simply be cause she is the living Image of your self." "I did not see It In that light be fore," said Clara, drying her eyes and looking cheerful again. "But I was afraid you were beginning to get tired of me, because because " "Because of my stupid way of put ting things," Interrupted Jack, who could rise to delicacy when It suited his purpose. After this episode Jack paid fre quent visits at the Oxfords' house, even staying to dinner sometimes in an impromptu fashion, that left his wife waiting for him an hour In vain before she dared sit down to the spoiled meal at home. But If these absences were never objected to, and If Clara suffered on account of them, she never reproached her husband. On the contrary, she encouraged his friendship with Miss Oxford and resolutely struggled against any feelings of jealousy, trusting implicitly in his honor. Jack was careful not to repeat the blunder that had once led to an un pleasant scene, but he often talked about the great resemblance of Miss Oxford and Clara. "It is delightful," he would say to the latter, after one of the expeditions that took hlra home long after busi ness hours were over, "it is delight ful to hear different thoughts and different expressions coming out of pretty lips Just like yours." Then, perhaps, he kissed his wife in a gallant fashion that was quite new to him, and innocent Clara blushed with pleasure, and never 0 9 0 9 0 9 i 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 Nuggets. 2 fl "10'"ey 18 80 "pperr that you can hardly keep hold of it when you are watching it all the time, how can you expect to get some enormous return for money which you invest in some far-away scheme, which you will probably never see and which is absolutely beyond your control?

She was a very lively girl, and Clara thought that she filrtod decidedly too much, but the objection was not so much on her husband's account as on general principles of feminine pro priety. On the way home Jack spoke very enthusiastically about Miss Oxford, and, of course, Clara, to please him, chimed In, He remarked casually that he had promised to drop in to tea one afternoon at the house of that lady's parents. "Isn't it rather odd not to Invite me, too?" suggested his wife, timidly. "Oh, no. You see she couldn't very well do that under the circum stances," returned Jack, in an airy tone. "But I dare say Miss Oxford will call upon you when I have been there." And the matter was dropped. A few days later Jack did not ar rive home until dinner time, and dur ing the operation of having his boots unlaced he talked enthusiastically about Miss Oxford, on wham be had just been calling. "She Is a lovely girl," he said in tones of the warmest . admiration. "Just what you were like five years ago." It was a tactless speech, and Clara's fingers trembled as she struggled td unravel a tight knot. "Really now, taking her feature by feature," he went on, oblivious of the pain he was inflicting, and too absorbed In his own interests to no tice his wife's agitation, "there is an astounding resemblance between you both. But the expression is different. She seems much brighter and more girl" He stopped short, suddenly aware that his tongue was running too fast, and glanced at the kneeling figure in front of him. 1 Clara's head was bent low over ber task and she did not speak. He stooped forward good-naturedly and lifted her face up by the chin. She was flushed, and tears were glis tening In her eyes. "Why, you foolish little woman, what are you crying about?" he asked. Clara burst Into tears partly be cause or her own overwrought feel Ings, and partly on account of the un usual kindness of ber husband's In terrogatlon. Tears generally had the. effect of making him angry aod im patient. "I am losing my good looks, and you doa't care about me any longer," she sobbed. -. ' ' i . "Nonsensel" exclaimed Jack, who began to see the elumulneu of bis remarks. , , "You think Miss Oxford much pret tier than I am; , and I dare say you find her far more lively and enter taining," Clara went on in a broken .voice. i ' Her sole attraction tor cue Is nor e 0 e 0 e 0 e 0 e 0 c 0 e 0 e 0 e 0 0 c 0 "He will think of It as soon at he has a momcnt'a leisure," she repeated to hersolf over and over again, "and then he will feel miserable about It, poor fellow, and send me a telegram asking to have the verdict wired to his office." But the message never came, and Clara went on to hor appointment with a sinking heart. The physician shook his head as he examined her chest, tapped each rib, and listened to the labored breath. It was not his custom to con ceal the truth from patients, but he regarded Clara's pale, anxious face and frail form with Intense pity when It was all over, and hesitated. The poor creature read her fate In the glance of sympathy. "My case is hopeless, is it not?" she asked, in a low, tremulous voice. "I fear so," replied the doctor, gently. "Shall I live long?" She awaited bis answer In painful suspense. "One lung Is gone," said the great man, laying a kindly hand on her arm, "and the other is going. The end of the disease will depend much upon climatic conditions. I fear, un less you can manage to go South at once " "That I may not last through this cold weather," put in Clara, to help him out. He nodded with a serious air, and a few minutes later the unhappy pa tient, her doom ringing in her ears, was speeding home. A letter in Jack's handwriting lay upon the hall table. It had been de livered by special messenger, the ser vants said, shortly after her de parture. "Dear old Jack!" she cried, forget ting the awful blow that had Just been dealt her in the Joy of the mo meat. "I knew he would remember me and send some message!" She tore open the envelope and taking out the letter kissed it rap turously. Then she hurried into the drawing room to read It there alone and undisturbed. It ran: "Dear Clara By the time this reaches you I shall be on my way to Europe. Mabel Is going with me. My object in writing is to wish you good by forever and to assure you that on my return Borne arrangement shall be made with regard to your future wel fare. You can, if you like, get a separation possibly even a divorce (the latter would enable me to marry Mabel); but, although the world in variably Bays nasty things of people in our predicament, I am, in yielding to the irresistible fascination of a woman whose charm lies in the fact that Bhe is your counterpart, paying you the highest compliment.

Her cough grew more troublesome than ever, and ex asperated Jack, who was a light sleeper, so much that he had his bod made in the spare room on the floor above. Clara said nothing to this ar rangement, as she always studied her husband's comfort, but she often wept silently to herself during the loneiy, wakeful nights. She now saw very little of Jack, as he was not only away during busi ness hours, but spent most of his spare time at the Oxfords. It inter ested him, he said, to watch the de velopment of a nature, that should by an physiological appearances be akin to her own, and he persuaded her that the growing Intimacy between Mabel (he now called Mlas Oxford by her Christian name) and himself was a kind of beautiful reflection on strictly platonlc lines of their own love. And the poor tittle woman swal lowed it all, and even felt a sense of gratitude for this double manlfesta lion of her husband's devotion. One day the doctor broke the news to Mrs. Alston that the condition of her health gave cause for, great anx iety, and he advised her to consult a specialist on diseases of the lungs without delay. Jack, on talking it over afterward, said that all physi cians were fools, and the biggest fool charged the biggest price to make up for other deficiencies. However, al though he was inclined to pooh-pooh the whole affair, he consented to his wife seeing a specialist, and a consul tation was acordlngly arranged. Clara, who was nervous and terri bly afraid of Btetoscopes and tapping, would have liked Jack to accompany ner to tne eminent physician house. But on toe morning of the appoint ment be came down stairs with a ready-packed traveling bag, and an nounced that If a certain letter were waiting for him at the office he would be obliged to undertake a Journey on business tad would not return home before the following day. If it had not been on account of urgent business, Clara would have thought her husband's absence at this critical Juncture very uukind. For the specialist would pronounce on her, that afternoon, sentence of life or death, but the Journey, ' If undertaken, was clearly unavoidable. and she could only reproach fate for naving cnosen mat aay or ail other to separate them. Btlll, it would have been kinder, Clara thought, it Jack had asked her to telegraph the result of her Inter view to him, but he went off in a hurry after the briefest of farewells, nd she was obliged to console her self with trie reflection that pressure of time had flurried him into forgtt- tuueus.

The girl to marry is the one" who believes in love in a cottage. If she believes that, you can stuff her with any old thing. The ups and downs of life keep a man from getting rusty. It isn't the henpecked husband who lays for his wife. A man is indeed quarrelsome when he isn't on speaking terms with his own conscience. When a man's character hasn't been formed before marriage, it will seldom be reformed afterward. The average young fellow would be perfectly willing to die for some girl, provided she would allow him to fix the date. Unless you look out for yourself you won't see much. .

Indianapolis News. Tho Fatal Street Corner. In a Nova Scotia town lived an old man whose wife had recently died, leaving him in a comfortable house with no one to look after him. He soon began "lookln' round" for a sec. ond helpmate, and settled on a widow, whose status aa a housekeeper for ber former spouse was well estab lished. The old man bad but one ob jection to her: she was a Methodist and he had been a devout Presby terian all his life. "It's all right but for that one thing," he confided to his crony, when they fell to discussing this drawback. "Come week-days, she will be fine, I'm a-thlnktng.

Use according to the directions on the package, as far as amount of sugar and cocoa or choco late are concerned. Pour a few spoonfuls of water on this and cook over the fire until a smooth paste re sults, and then add the liquid which may be all water or all milk or a mixture of the two according to con venience or power of digestion. Fin ish cooking over water. If milk Is used, keep the vessel covered in order to prevent a scum forming over tho top. It such a scum does form beat It up Instead of skimming it off as it contains much of the nourishing properties of the milk. When ready to serve an addition which many like is a drop of vanilla extract for each large cup of liquid. The French often churn the chocolate Just before turning it out. This makes It frothy. If whipped cream Is used it is put into the cup before pouring the liquid. These are the simplest ways of ma king the drink and are the best. Some thicken it by adding cornstarch or egg. Where a large quantity Is made the thickening is scarcely no ticeable except in giving a "body" to the drink. If added to small amount It 1b likely to thlckon too much and take away from the delicacy of the drink. Dies li'ayln(i. Mt. Carmol.
