And though we tried onr very beet, we couldn't IUITO a cent. The children coet ui both a heap, to keep tl em on the trace, Bnt then we don't begrudge the coat, they're more'n paid ne back, We lent the oldeet gel to school, to eddl-cefeber mind, At.d ehe'i the smartest of the lot, they ear, the meet refined. Von know how twee two yeere ega, the Bankei'a only eon.

"I wish Ieould atl'.ird to keep a girl for ber." _ . J'A Iflrl I " Mr. Hiylltre voicebelray-rd mlngli d BHtonlshment and con-tempt. "A girl! Your mother'' "YtB, I know, father," interrupted Hector. * But things hBve cliangxl .luce then . and perhaps mother woulil be alive now If the housework had nit worn ber out before tier time." '■That's it downright flying In tin face o(Providence,"said Mr. Bayllff, reddening- to the roots of bis stiff, Iran. gray hair. "It was the fjord's will that your mother should betook away aftd there alnt no sort of doubt but that she's better off. And Cyntbie won't never stand In ber shoes, no way you oan look at II !" Heotor Hiyhir made no reply, but took up his ox-yoke and went across the fields with It. "Father may say what he pleases," said he to himself, ' but mother died of overwork and under oare, and noth-ing else. The household dutiea are too heavy for Cynthia, and I must see what can be done lo lighten them. No woman HII .11 be drudged to death undrr this roof now." Cyntbla Hough bad be-n a pretty young factory girl when Hector Bsy-llff married her. Hue had been Ignor-ant of the details of housekeeping, but she bad exerted herself diligent y to learn. Old Mr. Bayllff, however, win au exactlug critic, aud (be BayliO farmlioase was a big, rambling, Incon-venient place, where one might work ii.-ini all day aud have very little to show for It st ihe end. And the tired look In ber eye and the weary flush on her cheek went to Hector's heart at times. "My darling, „alri he. "I wish I oould make things easier for you.'' "Oh, they are easy enough," said Cynthia, brightly. "It's only that I am too stupid to manage sw I ought." Hector shook his head. He knew tbat something was laoking, but be did not quite comprehend what. But she drooped so that lie saw some radio' obange was necessary. "Cyulhla," said he,"thls won't do.- You must go and stay with your mother a week or two and rest." "But what will you do, Hector ?" "We'll keep bachelors' hall, fattier and 1," said the young man, cheerily. 'What does It signify to us, a little ^convenience, so long cs you are benefltted ?" BP, rat her unwillingly, (Vnthia went. Old Bl'as Bayllfl shook bis bead fore-bodingly. "If this is the way you're goln' lo baby that wife o' yourn, Hector," he asld, "you'll have her playln' eick the while time. I don't bold to leltln' women think themselves too Impor-tant. Now we shall be obleeged to hev Mary Jenkins here to do the choree and cook, and It'll cost us a ilo lar and a half a week, at the very least. 'Taint what I call economical houskeepln'." "That depends upon what oue calle economy," said Hector, quietly. When his neighbor, Luzon Perkins, drove past that afternoon, with his wife, Heotor oalled them in, secretly rejoicing tbat old Silas was down In the swamp lot, ctpturing a refractory calf. "You're not In a hurry, I.uxon, are you ? said be. "Bit down a minute. I want to ask your wife's advloe." "A pretty thing to do," laughed Mrs. Perkins, 'when you've got a wife of your own !" "It's about her that I waut to consult you," said Hector. "The work heie Is too heavy for her. Bhe doesn'i seem to get alonp with it. And I don't know why. New, Mrs. Perkins, look around this kitchen, and tell me what you would do to It If ycu lived here." Mrs. Perkins took a leisurely view of (he premises, letting ber eyes rest on one porlloo after another with medtatlve elowne'S. "Well ?" said Hecl.r. "In the first place," said Mrs. Perkins, "I would't have this room for a kitchen at all, If I lived here. I '* damp." ''Damp ?" ejhoed Hector. "As blue mould," answered Ibv oracle. "The ce.lar under It Isn't pro-perly drained, I am certiau. And the windows look to the north,ami I don'i suppose there's :iu hour's euneblL* I" It all day. No ; make a store-pl ,c > o> sumethhig, of this room, and take the aitllng-roim for a kitchen, "where there's H bright In ik-out to the south, and a good cement eel ar underneath." "I never thought of that," said Hec-tor. 'Well, what else?" "Where do you get your w.a'er?' asked Mrs Perkins. "From the spring under the bill." "Do you mean lhat your wife baa t • bring all (be water you use up that hill?" "Except the wash-water. That she dips ml from the hogshead under the eavce," explained Hector, rather ills com tiled. "My goodness me!" exclaimed Mrs. Perkins, wringing her plumb bands In comical dismay; "that's enough o break down any. woman's constitu-tion"' "It's what we've always done," said Hector. "I bring a couple of pails In the morning before I fO to work, and after I come home, but"—- 'Nonsense! a mere droD In the bucketl" said Mrs. Perkins. "What yen want Is a sink with water-pip s laid from the spring and a good cistern with a pump In the kitchen, and a washing-machine."— "What's thai?'' asked Heotor. "We'll show you one If you'll oorue over to our house, "said Luzon Perkins, cheerfully. "And stationary tubs In the cellar," added Mrs. Perkins, "aud a hot wster boiler back of the stove. "That's the way to break down work Instead of work breaking you down." • I'll do )t," said Hector. "I'll have these things all fixed up whileCyutbla Is at ber mother's. If you'll Just hip me with your experience." Mrs. PerkliiB nod led approvingly. "It will add ten years to Cynthia's life," said she. Old Silas shook his head more stren-uously thau ever when he heard of these new plans. "Heotor." said he, "I believe you're goue crazy! The old ways was good enough for your mother; I should think they'd be good enough for your wife." But Heotor was firm, and the old man lost his temper at last "I can't etay here and seeynu maklii' ducks aud drakes of the old rlaoe,"sald he. "If you're goln' to set up your wife for sn idol and worship her, I iba'u'stand by and see it. I'll goto Ohio and visit HIv bro'ber Klna'han's fuiks; -i. il we'll we where all these floe notions wl 1 bring you up Any-how, you needn't look to my money to get you nut of the poorhouse " "No, father, I will not,"said Hector. And after he waa gene the repairs and improvements went on In good earnest. BIlaaBayilffhad Intended to stay a year In Ohio; but either the ollmste did not agree with him, or he did not agree with brother Elnatban's folks, for be returned home some months before he was expected. "There ain't ne place llxe home," Bald Silas; ' und. bless me! how bright nod nice things do look here! Aud I declare, Cynthia, you're like another woman! Your cheer's are as rtd ae rose*, and you step around a-i spiy as any cricket." "Yes, father," said Cyntuls, "the improvements in the house have made everything so much easier for me. I get the work done In half the time and with a quarter of the trouble." Bayllff looked arouud. "The Improvements, eh?" said I <■. "But they cost a sight o' money." "Yes, they certainly did," owned Cynthia. "How much, now?' as'ied Bayllff. with an Interrogative upturning of his spectacles. ' Five hundred dollars," said Cyn-thia. Old Bayllff could not repress a groan. "The Interest on five hundred d< liars at six per cent, la thirty dollars a year." said he. "Thirty dollars a year Is a good round sum, aud all dug Inlo the ground you ssy—In pipes and drains!" "Not quite, father," said cheerful Cynthia, opening the table drawer "Lock bere; my work Is dune so easily and quickly, nowadays, that I have i-deal of time to myself, and here is ray work from the Bbirt-factory button In I- - miking and putting on the finishing touches, you see, I take It up when my dishes are washed and Ihe work Is over. I haven't been at It half a year yet, and I've earned a good deal more than thirty dollars. Look, here i.~ my savings bank book!" "Well, I declare!" said Bllas. "Heotor objected to it at first," went on Cyntbla, "but when I proved to him tbat I should still have plenty of time left to read and garden, and walk with him, be let me go on with It. s , you see, the Improvements are really an economy." •Well, I derlarel" said Bllas. "I duono but what you're right Cyn'hj!" He wa kedou. to the village buiying. ground In the yellow llusb of the twilight, that evening, where the russet leaves were drifting down on a solitary mound,and stood there silently for a while. Perhaps he was thinking of what might have been, if be had been more considerate In the years gone by to the poor woman who lay there. When he went back to the house, he met Hector. "Hector," said he, "you did right lo fix up the house to suit Cvnthia," I am glad you think eo, father," said Heotor Biyliff.-iSefeo<erf.

8T L. «.
When we srere teamed Zokel, why we
didn't h»ve a cent,
JUt enough to pay the preadksr, nolhle'
lefi for \ loard or rent,
Bat we both went right to work, end we
did the bast We ooald,
I too* In washing bj the day, end yoo, to
aplll ng wood
A maur A Mine we ut eround, the old un-
PMiled board,
With nnihlu' ba' » oraet of breed, "twee
ell ire oould afford,
BatZeisl. we dldVt starve, we kept onr
•plilii up,
Ana If we didn't lire on pie, we'd eome-thlniln
our cap.
I well rsmotnhor, onoe 'twee eo, you'd
uuthlo' 'tell to do,
The tlmee were da11, end work wee eoerce,
end deed of Winter too,
We had 1 few potatoes left, end one era ell
loaf of bread,
II eeemed to me I couldn't tell, which way
to torn my heed.
'Twee hunger etertln' in the fee, we both
began to fret,
Bat Zekul, thet'e teen long ego, end we
era llvln' yet,
Wekeptatoilln.'onendon, we paid our
board an' rent.
And though we tried onr very beet, we
couldn't IUITO a cent.
The children coet ui both a heap, to keep
tl em on the trace,
Bnt then we don't begrudge the coat,
they're more'n paid ne back,
We lent the oldeet gel to school, to eddl-cefeber
mind,
At.d ehe'i the smartest of the lot, they ear,
the meet refined.
Von know how twee two yeere ega, the
Bankei'a only eon.
He took > llkin' to the gal, till both were
nearly one;
The only trouble In the way—it aeeme.l 10
rery fanny,
The old folke eald the girl wee poor, her
people bed no money.
And eo our Satry didn't wed, although her
heart wee pare,
Beceaeeot that beeettin' aln, the Bin of
belli'poor —
If there'! > thing deserves the name, of
everlutlng enree,
II eeeme to be thei dreedful thing, they
oell an empty puree.
That mrut be that unpardonable eln, we
read of In tha book.
That wawr then an evil name, or then an
umy look,
e'er wnaa than, yaller ferer, or cbolere end
aloh-
The wueatet fallln' yon kin here, ie feilin'
to be rloh.
Bo It wai two yeere ago, when Bary'e
atyllah bean,
Went off became the gal wee poor, end
couldn't rxiaku a show,
And when they'd meet her in the street,
they'd look another wey,
Bnt break their neoka to epeak to gala,
elooklu' grend and gay.

Bnt Aeatei, what e onenge hea come, JUt
like aiadden flash,
Blnae A nni Sophla'e deed and gone, and
willed at lota of caah,
Almoat afore we knowed •orselves, aome-how,
they found It out—
They aeem to ameli the tarnal staff, when-ever
lt'e eboat,
Like Blee Allgbtln' on e aore, partickler If
it runny,
They come e flockln' ell eround, wherever
there li money—
The banker'a eon the other day aaked Sary
for aohet,
I reely thought he'd break hie neck, a
takio' off hla hat.
And there') oar Betey, leme end grey, I
never thought she'd go.
She even had that Doctor Brown to offer
ee a beau.
And ao whene'er the gala go out a welkin,
or to ihop,
There'e eoerce e rloh young man in town
that doeen't want to atop.
They bow and acrape, and nod and amile,
and etare and grin and gawk,
And ect ai If they really were e dyln' for
a talk;
I apect It wouldn't matter 'tall, good louka
might go to em ash,
Onr gala oan all git haebend* now, because
they're got the caah.
Wky Zekel, do n it atrlke yon queeiV
When we were poor end lone.
We weren't nnihlu' anyway,but friendless
end unknown;
Bnt we've found out a thing or two,
emazlu' queer and funny,
To klver up the ugly epote tbere'a nuthln'
like the money.

times.
"My darling, „alri he. "I wish I

"Oh, they are easy enough," said
Cynthia, brightly. "It's only that I
am too stupid to manage sw I ought."
Hector shook his head. He knew
tbat something was laoking, but be
did not quite comprehend what. But
she drooped so that lie saw some radio'
obange was necessary.
"Cyulhla," said he,"thls won't do.-
You must go and stay with your
mother a week or two and rest."
"But what will you do, Hector ?"
"We'll keep bachelors' hall, fattier

'What does It signify to us, a little

Old Bl'as Bayllfl shook bis bead fore-bodingly.

asld, "you'll have her playln' eick the

"That depends upon what oue calle
economy," said Hector, quietly.
When his neighbor, Luzon Perkins,
drove past that afternoon, with his
wife, Heotor oalled them in, secretly
rejoicing tbat old Silas was down In
the swamp lot, ctpturing a refractory
calf.
"You're not In a hurry, I.uxon, are
you ? said be. "Bit down a minute.
I want to ask your wife's advloe."
"A pretty thing to do," laughed Mrs.
Perkins, 'when you've got a wife of
your own !"
"It's about her that I waut to consult
you," said Hector. "The work heie
Is too heavy for her. Bhe doesn'i
seem to get alonp with it. And I don't
know why. New, Mrs. Perkins, look
around this kitchen, and tell me what

Mrs. Perkins took a leisurely view
of (he premises, letting ber eyes rest

"Well ?" said Hecl.r.
"In the first place," said Mrs.

''Damp ?" ejhoed Hector.
"As blue mould," answered Ibv

"I never thought of that," said Hec-tor.
'Well, what else?"
"Where do you get your w.a'er?'
asked Mrs Perkins.
"From the spring under the bill."
"Do you mean lhat your wife baa t •

"Except the wash-water. That she

"My goodness me!" exclaimed Mrs.
Perkins, wringing her plumb bands
In comical dismay; "that's enough o

"It's what we've always done," said
Hector. "I bring a couple of pails In
the morning before I fO to work, and
after I come home, but"—-
'Nonsense! a mere droD In the
bucketl" said Mrs. Perkins. "What
yen want Is a sink with water-pip s
laid from the spring and a good cistern
with a pump In the kitchen, and a
washing-machine."—
"What's thai?'' asked Heotor.
"We'll show you one If you'll oorue
over to our house, "said Luzon Perkins,
cheerfully.
"And stationary tubs In the cellar,"
added Mrs. Perkins, "aud a hot wster
boiler back of the stove. "That's the
way to break down work Instead of
work breaking you down."
• I'll do )t," said Hector. "I'll have
these things all fixed up whileCyutbla

Mrs. PerkliiB nod led approvingly.
"It will add ten years to Cynthia's
life," said she.
Old Silas shook his head more stren-uously
thau ever when he heard of
these new plans.
"Heotor." said he, "I believe you're
goue crazy! The old ways was good
enough for your mother; I should
think they'd be good enough for your
wife."
But Heotor was firm, and the old
man lost his temper at last
"I can't etay here and seeynu maklii'

he. "If you're goln' to set up your

"No, father, I will not,"said Hector.
And after he waa gene the repairs
and improvements went on In good

"Yes, father," said Cyntuls, "the
improvements in the house have made
everything so much easier for me. I
get the work done In half the time and
with a quarter of the trouble."
Bayllff looked arouud.
"The Improvements, eh?" said I <■.
"But they cost a sight o' money."
"Yes, they certainly did," owned
Cynthia.
"How much, now?' as'ied Bayllff.
with an Interrogative upturning of his
spectacles.
' Five hundred dollars," said Cyn-thia.
Old Bayllff could not repress a groan.
"The Interest on five hundred d< liars

Is a good round sum, aud all dug Inlo

"Not quite, father," said cheerful
Cynthia, opening the table drawer

"Well, I declare!" said Bllas.

on Cyntbla, "but when I proved to

of what might have been, if be had

gone by to the poor woman who lay
there. When he went back to the
house, he met Hector.
"Hector," said he, "you did right lo
