At sometime during tho early part
of tho ovcnlng wo pretty nearly havo
heart falluro when tho lights go off.
Each tlmo wo have a feollug that they
won't como on ngaln. Tho motors bc
gln to run down, tho darknoss Is in
tonBo and wo stand In suspctiso for
what accniB sovoral minutes. Then
tho lightsl flash on again, Uio motors
begin to hum and all sconm well with
tho world. It may bo necessary to
do that but It Is mighty annoying.
Ono follow said It caught him tho
other night, Just as ho was taking a
spoonful of raspborry sauce to his
mouth and ho missed tho mark.
Tho other day wo got wind of some
of tho work tho Roy Scouts are doing
and located whoro they nro at work,
bo wo wont over to soo. Wo found tho
placo and inspected four or flvo lean

John Dunbar mndo love to Mary
Woods with all tho fervor of an old
romance and lived unhappily for tho
rest of their lives. Or ueurly so.
"I can't understand It," said honest
John at the end of n very miserable
day. It wus the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of their wedding.
"And nobody else can," added his
brother-ln-lnw, Ephralm. "Do you
know, the didoes, antics and whims of
that woman sister though sho Is, I
will say it have grown on us uncon
sciously. Wo huvo meekly submitted,
and sho bus developed Into u regular
tyrunt and pretty nigh a nuisance."
John Dunbnr sighed In pure helpless
ness and desperation of spirit.
"She's u depressor and no mistake 1"
commented Ephralm. "It's her way or
no way In everything, nnd hers Is gen
erally tho wrong way. I pity you,
John, Indeed I do, from tho very bot
tom of my heart I"
"Maybo she'll change," suggested
John hopefully.
"I say, John, you look gray and tired
and worn out," observed ISphralm.
"You need a little change. Why don't
you go up to tho city nnd take a day
or two off? See tho folks, have somo
recreation. You'll be the stronger for
n new battle with life."
The suggestion led to nctlou. John
Dunbar broke the routine of n ouartor
of a century. Ho went to tho city.
While there ho attended tho theater.
John hud never seen u play before.
Its main character was a modern Hera
elites who laughed ills wny Into the
piny, nil tho way through It, and faded
out of It, leaving a smllo on the faces
and In the hearts of those of his audi-
enco who were nttcutlvc and sympa
thetic. At nil events that play made such
an Impression upon John Dunbar, that
when ho got home ho called together
out In the woods nil tho family except
"mother."
"I've got nn Idea, or rnther a play
I saw has given me an lden," ho said.
"I want to tell you all what it Is, nnd
then as the true and loving children
you nro I want you holp mo In a plot
to to well, to reform mother."
"How, father?" Inquired sixteen-
year-old Blanche.
"Smile. If mother Is cross, don't get
grumpy. If she's out of sorts, don't
cater to It. Just smlle-sinlle-sinlle."
Thero was a certain fairly mlschlo-
vous spirit of delight injected Into tho
sltuntion. When Mrs. Dunbar that
ovcnlng began her usual "I'm dead
worn otit with this ceaseless house
work 1" her husbiiird beamed upon her
expansively, with the comforting ob
servation, "That's because you Insist
on doing It better than anybody else
In tho town I"
If shrewd Mrs. Dunbnr suspected tho
obvious change In the genial mood of
tho family, sho was dlsnrnTed. helpless
to resist It.
Then, although she never relaxed
that grim temper of hers outwardly
and never admitted It, she took a se
cret, silent; delight In bnsklng in tho
loveliness and Inspiring cheer of tho
hours spent around the evening lamp,
where the family circle was encom
passed In cheery Inughtcr, bright rep
artee and smiles.
Then a climax came two of them
that shook the supposed domestic In
fallibility of tho self-willed mistress
of the household.
"The house has been burglarized 1"
was the direful announcement of John
one night when they returned from a
church sociable.
Yes, and four hundred dollars In
cash missing from n secret hiding
plnco whero Mary had Insisted on
keeping It, Instead of plnclng It in tho
bank I
It was nil her fault and sho looked
pretty glum. But no one blamed her.
John only touched her nffectlonntcly
on the cheek and Bold:
"Thankful I wore my wntch I If the
thieves had taken that with your pic
ture In It, I'd have mourned, I tell
you 1"
And Mrs. Dunbar actually flushed
and murmured: "You foolish man!"
and then her hard naturo softened
still moro ns tho Jovial family kept on
smiling, despite the loss of the money.
Tho very next day Mary left a
hot lire going while sho ran over to u
neighbor's. It was to return to And tho
house In flumes. It burned to tho
ground.
Again her fault t but John only
smiled, suylng pleasantly:
"Suppose you'd been In the housot
I tell you, wo'ro lucky people. You
deserve a now house with moro con
veniences in It, und you're going to
havo it 1"
And tho day this splendid new edl
flco was completed, and tho smiling
faces of tho whole family beamed on
moUicr ns sho came up tho steps, her
Hp quivered.
"John, I'm I'm going to behavo my.
Bclfl" sho whispered meekly.
And tho comers of her Hps wcro no
longer drawn down, btit parted la n
way that uplifted nil tho hearts that
wero thero.
And then a now woman became tho
queen bf tho now home, that hence
forth was Indeed a vcrltnblo "house of
Bmllcs."
Analyzed.
Mothur "But what do you know
about him? Una ho como up from
nothing or hns ho como down for some- j
thing?" Daughter "I cannot say, I
uinmmn. He has tho money of tho
former nnd tho manners of tho latter." I
