Her husband looked up with a scowl. "How childish you are. Kate'." be said. "Beally you cannot remember my wishes for two days together. 1 have fio answer for you except the answer I, gave yesterday. Nothing that you can say will alter that." Ills wife surveyed him with an ex pression akin to bitterness in her wist ful face. How came it that she had married such a man? Why were her eyes holden that she could not see the selfish, autocratic nature of the soul behind the pale blue eyes, the clear cut features, the thin lips and master ful chin? She had vowed to love, honor, and obey, but, he had vowed to love nnd cherish her in sickness and in health. Bitter memories surged up In her heart, while xhe watched him begin ning to write again, as It the matter of which she hd been speaking was forever settled by that scornful refer ence to his refusal of the previous day. It did not even occur to him that she could assert herself any more. Ever since they married he had crushed down every evidence of a separate will in the beautiful woman whom he had made bis wile. "The first duty of a wife la to efface herself," he said to her. "You know two cannot walk to gether unless they are agreed. The man Is the head of the wiman. You must follow my lend." Nature rebelled. , But Kate thought rebellion sinful, and accepted meekly what was set before her as a duty. In silence, though not without suffering, she bore the constant thwarting of her every wish. Innocent nnd good though It might be. Did site want to walk, he bade her drive. Did she desire to stay Indoors, he bade ber go out for a walk or drive; Did she want to read, he bade her talk, and so on, and so on, with unvnrylng sameness. She nb mittod ; yes, she submitted to all p.nd everything, and the bablt of submitting made it easier to do so in what con cerned herself. But when children came, and the whole thing had to be gone through again in relation to them, with the result that their small likes and dislikes were set at naught and thwarted, and their welfare nnd her wishes for their welfare, were swept aside as unworthy of considera tion when opposed to the will and wishes of the home despot, oh, then it was that Kate felt the cruel hardness of her, matrimonial bonds and writhed lu misery! She recollected it seemed like yes terday when her eldest child, a love ly child of 12, was Invited to n chil dren's party, given by the wife of a neighboring Squire. (There was to Is; a Christmas tree, tableaux, and after ward a little dance. All the children In the neighborhood were going, and Lornu talked of nothing else for days. She was to be dressed In white a lit tle white silk frock which ber mother made with her own hands, with Joy and pride, picturing to herself the while how lovely ber little girl would look In It but the father came home from his oflii'e out of temper, there be ing a slump hi the stock market, and, finding out what was going on, be per emptorily forbade Lorna to go to the party, declaring that she must stay at home. It was In vain the mother pleaded, In vain the child wept and en treated, John Hacker, was adamant. What he had said he had said, and nothing would Induce him to yield. Little Lorna sorrowed and fell sick. It was in vain her mother sought to give her other pleasures. The child's spirit was broken. "Everything I like to do best, Mumsy," she said, "father forbids." And again. "I'm afraid I don't like father, Mumsy," she said, with piti fully quivering lips. "Father's not like you. Ho always says, 'No, no; you shall not do that.' " The little girl was very tired, and soon they were obliged to let her lie lu bed, and then she sickened of a child ish complaint, and. one day. quietly passed away from this life lu her Sleep. Her doctor wrote upon the death cer tificate that she died of measles, but her mother knew better. The measles was n detail; the whole peace tun happiness of the child's life had U-cn crushed out by her father's Iron hand i lie moiners only consolation was that the little 'one was gone where no longer ber father's autocratic will could blot out happiness. An I now It happened that the other children were off color, with poor ap petites and looking thin and weedy. Little friends of their were at the sen aide, aud they wanted to go, too, Just as much ns their mother wished to take them. Moreover, the family doc tor told Mrs. Hacker that unless she took the children to the seaside they would suffer In health, lie thought her a rather stupid woman not to act upon his advice when he saw the chil dren about with their pale faces; but then ho did not know Mr. Hacker. It seemed to the mother, as she stood before her husband watching blm write, with no apparent heed for her distress and agony of disappointment, that she almost hated nls handsome face, and the fine presence which caused him to be so much admired. "The time has come for me to mnke a stand." she said to herself. "If my little ones fall 111 and die I shnll be lieve it is my fault for giving way." A few more moments of nervous In decision passed ; then she Jerked out spasmodically, "I must take them to the seaside, Johu. Y'ou can stay at home If you like, but I shnll take my children." The man looked up In his stern way, and poiuted to the door with bis pen. Kate went out, carrying her head high, and with quite an unusual feel ing of elation In her heart. ' It was very lonely and miserable for John when he found himself in soli tary possession of his big house. For it happened thnt, one day, when he came home from business he discover ed that his wife had gone away, taking THE TKIJiCBAM WAS FROM HOME. with her their children, aud only leav ing word with the servant that they were going to the seaside. At first he was so angry as to be conscious of nothing but rage against his wife (or her defection. Then, as he missed her help In various ways the help which ho had always taken ns his right without a single word of thanks nnd the domestic machinery went wrong without her pntiqnt guid lug hand, he begnn to brood over his Injuries, not the least of -which was the fact that no letter came for him, and he felt Ill-used and hurt. "Glad to hear your wife aud children are on to revensey nay. line air there. It will do tbern a world of good," said the doctor, meeting him casually one morning. "Thought Mrs Hacker a little slow, you know, in tak ing my advice. But she has gone now. and the young ones are nlready pick lng up llnely." iTacker starcu at blm. Had he seen them, or heard from Mrs. JIncker? John was too proud to usk, and with u short nod he passed on. The doctor's Intimate knowledge of the health of Hacker's wife and chil dren made another Injury over which the unhappy man brooded until he felt quite sick. He was about as miserable as a man could be, aud took a savage delight In neglecting himself, going without food and all that sort of thing Consequently he fell 111, but temper prevented his sending for the doctor. until the matter was taken out of bis bands by bis servants discovering him in a swoon, and Immediately sending for the doctor on their own responsl billty. The children were so happy at tin seaside, and their mother was so taken up with them and their enjoyment, that for some time she scarcely thought of her absent husband. It was the children themselves who recalled )ilin to her mind. "Where's Daddy, Mumsy? Why doesn't he come here?" asked little Jack repeatedly. "He'd like . to lie here, too should think." It was Jack le's habit to miss out a word or two now and then. "Ens, w here s Daddy, echoed tiny Ellle. "I'oor Padily uasu t got no sea !" "Wouldn't he like it? Poor Daddy!" cried tender-hearted little Nell. "Guess he would. Poor Daddy!" Jackie exclaimed. "Mumsy," be turn ed to bee again, "why doesn't he comcl He's a man can come If pleases." "Tea," responded their mother, "h can come If be likes to do so." She pictured blm to herself, stern, cold, handsome, coming Into the room, chill ing tbera with his presence. "Wish he'd come," little Jack mut tered. "What t sunny, sweet-tempered na ture that boy has!" thought Kate. "He has forgotten how very cross his father was with him sometimes!" Her conscience smote ber, because she was less forgiving and less forget ful of Injuries than her child. All day the sore feeling remained, nnd she hnd to strengthen her attitude by recapitulating John's offense. "Tho children are well," she told herself "and they might have fallen 111 If w bad remained nt home. And John would never have couscutcd to their coming here." One day she overheard a woman saying to her companion ns they pass ed by bet and the children. "What a lot of little ones! Hasn't tho poor lady a husband to help her with them?" After thnt Bhe fancied her landlady hiked askance nt ber sometimes ns if regretting that there was no Mr. Hacker appearing on the scene. Others asked her straight out where Mr. Hacker was and whether be was coining down to Join her? And she had to make excuses for hlin. Then, one morning, came a telegram. It was put Into her hands when Bhe was playing with her children, as it was wet and they could not go out of doors and she 6tood staring at It for a few minutes,- feeling powerless to grasp its contents. The telegram was from home nnd had been sent by the family doctor. "Your husband dangerously 111. Come at once." Her head reeled. Dangerously III, and she was not by bis side. How soon could she get there? It was tho only question. All his hardness, all his sins of omission ami commission against her and her chil dren, were forgotten. lit was danger ously 111. It was possible that he might die, and she was sixty miles away. She wrung her hands, consigned the children to the friendly care of the landlady, look a cab to the station, nnd caught an express In the nick of time. "I thought you were never coming, Kate. I am going to die." John Hacker gasped out He was looking terribly eninliatcd, but was In full pos session of his mental powers. "No! No!" cried his wife. "I have come to nurse! you, and you will not die." He shook his head. "I can see that the doctors give me up," he said in a tone of finality. ' "But I don't give you up. Y'ou will live now I have come! exclaimed his wife, trying to Infuse some of her own resolute will into his morbid soul. "I have been a bear," he confessed. Cnn you forgive me?" "Yes, dear. Yes. Will you forgive me for for running away?" asked his wife, with the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Of course. I drove you to it I un derstood when you had gone." He closed his eyes, faint with the know! edge of bis sin. She kissed his brow. "Thy to re cover for my sake, John," Bhe pleaded, "Y'ou cannot care? You cannot sure ly care after after all?" he faltered "I can. I do. I love you, John, and we shall bo so happy." A sudden brightness came Into his eyes, a little color crept into ins cheeks, ids breathing oame more east The do.-tor, entering the room nnd standing by the bed, nodded approving ly. "You have done him good already, Mrs. Hacker." he said. "I believe in will pull through after all." "Of course he will!" she cried, add lng tenderly: "Thank God!" And John recovered nnd became (i very different man. Philadelphia Telegraph. THE WATERMELON. Xot What It rrd to lie, at Leant In the Katiug Thereof.

METHOD OF TARIFF REVISION. By Senator A. J, Deverldge. We must revise our tariff, and that Is s big thing; we must do more we must now make sensible up-to-dnte plans for revision, and that Is 'a bigger thing. There are nearly Items named lu our tariff laws, nnd every year new articles are put on tho market are law. fl'rjf' it is plain that JurI and Intelligent duties cannot be fixed without a knowledge of the facts upon which every one of these duties Is supposed to rest. Yet, as we have made our tariffs heretofore, commit tees of Congress, working a part of the time for a few months, not only have to liud out thesv facts, but also to tit duties to these facts, study how those duties will work out with foreign tariffs, how our trade will thereby be helped or hurt, and all other things thnt must be thought of In making n tnrlfT. Y'et It is plain that It would be hard for even experts to learn all the facts In fo short n time, to say nothing of the other work our nngiTNsloual committees are now forced to do In making a tariff law. . It la not fnlr to these committees lo make them do such work In so brief a period. Other nations have seen this plain truth, and thSrefore made the common-sense plan of finding out the facts uin which tlmlr legislatures cnn act with knowledge and wlnlom. So Germany and Japan, whose tariffs are the most careful of all tariffs, bad a body of tariff experts Hnd out the facts and then made their tariffs fit those facts.

'; By Ex-Qov. Black of New YtL. It must be remembered that the people are all-powerful. They can do whatever they de cide to do. They are now checked by their constitution, but they made even the constitu tion, and they can unmake It There are at least two methods of doing this one by amendment and the ther by revolution. But the prayer of every patriot in the land will be that the constltatlon shnll not now be changed. The ideas now most popular are also most dan gerous. The clamor Is for limitation f fortunes, for getting that that also means the limitation of Industry for the curtailment of the power of the courts, forgetting that thnt means death to tbe freedom of the Individual J for tbe equality of men by arbitrary rule, forgetting that Uds means to clog the industrious and help the lazy. Tlte spirit now abroad, if given rein, would make the In cometent equal by law to the skilled, the dissolute equal to the sober, the choat and the shirk equal to the hon est man. The people, when they try, can raze everything to the ground. They can unmake or remake their constitution. They may, if they like, abolish their courts and legis latures and take the reins of government directly In tielr own hands. This means revolution, but are there no pr-K-edents for revolution? Is there any prophet abroad In those days who can say how far the people would go In their present tem Ier? Would the majority vote to limit private fortunes! Would they vote to redistribute private estates which were large enough to tempt their cupKllty? Would they curtail the power of the courts? You can answer those questions as well as any body of men now living, and you cnu also answer whether the suggested changes would bo wise. , PORTUGAL'S DOUBLE T3AGXDY.

It seems un Irony of fate that the hand of the assassin should more often be raised against the heitelleent mler whose heart Is burdened with the sor rows of Ills people nnd whose efforts are directed toward an amelioration of their woes thnn against the tyrant who rules with n rod of iron and Is prompt ed merely by the love of scllish jmwer. One has only to give history a cursory glance to demonstrate this. No Sultan ever came to the throne of Turkey with a warmer lovs for bis subjects or a greater desire for their prosperity and happiness than were possessed by Abdul Aziz, Alexander II. of Bussla I The most benign, the most lovable Czar who ever sat on the throne graft yielding places and a swapping of sinecures. The people murmured, but In their Ignorance and poverty were but the tools of salaried demagogues and the victims of scheming politicians. Carlos bogged, Implored, threatened, In vain. He did his best to keep down taxation, but each year saw an ln .creased deficit The grafters only smiled and went on their grafting way. Then Carlos made Senor Franco Prime Minister and called on the Cortes (the Parliament) to get together as men and Inaugurate much-needed re forms. They failed, and ho dissolved tho Cortes, ordering a now election and declaring he would not permit a ses sion until the people had had an op portunity to select other and better men. Tbe Cortes was defiant and he made Franco dictator of the kingdom, with full power. M ill if POUTUGAL'S Mi;itDi:Ui:i KINO AND HIS WIDOWED QUEEN.

When, fearing revolution, with Its attendant bloodshed ami horror, he of fered to resign,. Carlos refused, saying that in the end they might abdicate to gether, but not before they had fought together. Franco's ru'm was clearly II legal and the King was much beyond luls constitutional rights, but If ever a country was In iik1 of a benevolent and iron-handed dictator It was Portu gal. Several attempts were made upon Franco's life and the King was re peatedly threatened. Revolution was feared, but few anticipated the climax which came with cowardly double as sassination. King Carlos was 45 years of age. He was a son of Lulz I. and Maria Pia, daughter of Victor Emmanuel II. of Italy and sister of King Humbert On the death of his father In 1889 he be came King, at tbe age of 20.
