Every morning Jane looked to ar
ranging his necktie snug and neatly
t-et In place, a feat Abner could never
accomplish. She would smile up in
same time what the other had been
doing, and indulged in a good laugh,
Ids face nnd talk casual nothings lind getting in the right car started at
while performing this duty, aud re
ceived a good-bye kiss as a reward.
Jane had suffered a sprained wrist at
one time and made this the apology
for not always getting the tie "just
riKht." One morning Abner noticed
that she winced slightly In adjusting
It.
"See here, little woman, you're not
straining that hurt arni of yours In
taking my own lazy duty off my shoul
ders, are you?"
"Oh I nojust a little touch of
rheumatism, Abner," replied Jane.
"It's this spell of damp weather, I
think. Everybody Is complaining."
Abner accepted the off-hand expla
nation casually and getting out on the
Street and rinding he had loft some
I-apers In the house,- returned to the
front door. Glancing past Its glass
top he made out Jane rubbing one
arm from the bared elbow down.
There was an expression of pain on
Jier face, and as she arose to put on
lier dusting apron Abner noticed that
she could not reach behind to adjust
the strings, but had to tie It In front
and then pull It around into place.
Abner proceeded to his office with
Lowed hend and thoughtful face.
' "1 wonder." he muttered ' to him
self, "I wonder If I have been neg
lecting that dear woman all these
5nirs?" Somehow he was uneasy all
that day. Every time he thought of
those busy, faidiful hands that had so
ministered to his comfort, the pitiful
and pathetic appealed to him. That
was a day given over to retrospect,
to tender memories, signalized as a
jierind for casting up accounts and
realizing just where he stood.
"Why, Abner. where Is your regular
necktie?" spoke Mrs. Wheeler iu man
ifest surprise as, preparing to attend
to Ids usual neckwear adornment, she
found her husband drawing Into place
obe of those ties which have a set
knot and fasten with a pin.
"Oh I Kan across this -sort yester
day," responded Abner with affected
carelessness. "Convenient. Yon can
set it In place readily and. besides. It
saves you a lot of trouble.",
"Saves me " uttered .lane In a
half troubled, half wistful tone. "Why,
It has got to be my last pleasant
thought as you leave the house to see
that you are trim and snug " she
once for home.
Not long since, an Alliance lady had
occasion to go to the grocery just be
fore closing time, to get some gro
ceries, as she had just discovered that
she was to have company for supper,
asked her neighbor to take her to town
in a hurry in her car, which her neigh
bor obligingly did, as they were extra
close friends.
Soo'h the groceries were purchased,
and bringing them out to the car pro
ceeded to put them in the tonneau, and
went over to the milk station for a
little cream, and returning says to her
friend, "well, I seen that you have
moved the car," whereupon her friend
said, "No, I have been here all the
time." "No," says the lady, "your car
was up in front of Holsten's just aIew
moments ago." "No, I have been in
the car all the time," but rather than
argue the matter with her friend, she
gave up the argument and they drove
home, and upon arriving home found
that Fhe had no groceries.
She (tenderly): "When did
first know you loved me?"
