S f'm****M****«*»m»»w>*»>»»»wi Crisp and bracing was the morning as Harrington came on deck, and be drew great drafts of the cool air down into his lungs, assuring himself that people who took vacations in the hot months were fools indeed. He even felt sorry for poor Fannie, who was left behind in the city. A few wreeks of this bracing air -would do her more good than the five-dollar-a-visit special ist who looked grave and shook his head when he stood by the bedside and declared that she must have com plete rest. It was true that Harrington himself had wanted to take Ills vacation in August, and when Fannie’s collapse had prevented bis leaving then he had stormed and chafed and succeeded in making everybody uncomfortable and bloodthirsty to varying degrees, ac cording to their temperaments and fondness for Fannie. Harrington's calm assumption that Fannie had no right to be 111 when he wished to go on his vacation was irritating to the others. Now as the steamer moved slowly between banks on which the green was giving way to the first blush of autumn tints the world seemed good to Har rington, and he could even think kind ly of the little woman who lay at home in a darkened room and whose breakdown had been responsible for his delayed vacation. In August he would have gone to the shore, as was his custom, blit in the latter part of September the country offered greater appeal, so he was to spend a month with his sister. The latter had lent no ear to the call of the city, but had re mained content to live a farmer’s wife as she had been born a farmer’s daughter. It was afternoon when the train pulled into the tiny station. The ride had been hot and dusty and, after the early morning on the boat, the worse by contrast. Harrington met his broth er-in-law with the tolerant patronage that the city man feels for his country cousin and considered that he had discharged his obligation when he of fered the other a smoke with the ex planation that it was a city cigar. “I guess most of them come from the city,” suggested Sam Dryer, with a chuckle, as he bit off the end and applied thfe match. ‘‘I guess you’re about the twentieth chap this summer that’s given me a city cigar with the air of expecting me to drop dead with delight because it comes from the city.” “You don’t have to smoke it if you don’t want to,” snapped Harrington as the last vestige of the mowing’s bene diction fled. *T don’t mind,” explained Sam good humoredly. “I’m used to smoking city cigars. That’s Lafe Spence’s new barn over there. Before he got it done a pill man came along and painted one end up with his sign, and Lafe got hoppin’. He danced around and told the man that was just what he built barns for, and the man said if that was the case he guessed he’d paint the other end too.” “Well, what’s the rest of the story?” demanded Harrington sharply when a pause was not broken by speech. “I was waiting for you to laugh at that,” explained Sam. “The answer is that he painted the hull barn, just like you see it. Lafe’s constable, and he threatened to put him in the lockup if he didn’t do the right thing.” Harrington cursed the evil fortune that brought him into contact with his brother-in-law and inane country jokes, and his irritation against Fannie re turned. If she had remained well they would have gone to the shore, where amateur humorists could be snubbed into silence. He was glad wlieu the old homestead came into sight and Ella, on the front porch, waved him a welcome. The remainder of the afternoon and the evening passed off pleasantly enough, but the morning brought its troubles. Harrington was always at his worst in the early hours. He had been compelled to rise a full hour be fore his accustomed time, and there was no hot water for shaving. The studs were not in his clean shirt, nor was the shirt laid out. At home, even from her sick bed, Fannie had made certain that the little things were looked after. It was the little things that Harrington cared about, and he was in a black humor when he came to the breakfast table. He had been slow In dressing, and the breakfast was cold, though it had been placed in the oven to keep warm. Sam had already left the table and Ella was alone. Harrington pushed the bacon from him. “I never eat bacon unless it’s crisp,” he said irritably, “and I don’t like the eggs fried so hard. Can’t you cook some more that are just set? And for heaven’s sake, Ella, please remember I can't eat hot bread for breakfast.” “I’ll get some cold bread,” volunteer ed Ella. “It will only take a few minutes, Ben.” “Then hurry,” he commanded. “I hate to sit idle at the table.” There was a little exclamation from Ella, and Harrington looked up into Sam’s gray eyes. There was an ex presslon there that he did not like. “You're not going to sit idle at the table,” exclaimed Sam. “You’re going to hurry up and eat your bacon and eggs. You don’t have to eat biscuit if you’d rather have bread, but that stuff w«s all good when breakfast was ready. If you want fo spend an horn In your room cursing your cuffs and your collar button, get up earlic-r or else eat cold breakfast. “You’re welcome here, Ben, because you’re Elia's brother and because she’s got her heart set on a visit from you, but you’ve just got to understand that you can’t cuss and domineer my wife Into a sick bed the way you’ve done your own.” Harrington swallowed a retort; then he swallowed the bacon and eggs. Sam stood over the chair, and Ben knew that he meant what he said. When the meal was done Sam left the room, and Ben followed him out to the yard to stammer an apology. Then he sat on the horse block while he smoked a cigar, and Sam’s words came back to him. His brother-isi-law was right. He had cursed and domineered his wife. There had been lots of mornings when he had acted worse than this and with far less cause. When the nervous breakdown bad come he had cursed it because it had interfered with his vacation plans, and not until he had left home did he realize how much Fannie’s quiet min istrations had meant. Once or twice he half rose to go into the house and ask Ella’s pardon, but he thought of something else at homo and sank back into his seat again. He did not even realize that the liorse block was an uncomfortable seat, and Sam came In from the fields at noon to find him still sitting there with a half smoked cigar, making an odorous offense to heaven. “Thought worth a penny?” he asked pleasantly as he made pretense of feel ing In his pocket for the coin. “You can buy my whole miserable carcass for a penny,” retorted Ben dolefully. “I’ve been sitting here thinking over what you said.” “I didn’t mean to get so hopping mad,” said Sam shamefacedly. “It was right,” went on Harrington. “I have rowed Fannie into her bed, Just as you said. She made things so comfortable that when anything did go wrong I scolded her about that in stead of giving her credit for all that she had done.” “If you know it, that helps some,” reminded Sam. “I tell you what the trouble is, Ben. Just because you earn the money that pays the bills you don’t realize that your wife is working too. You wouldn’t dare talk to a servant the way you talk to her. You know your wife won’t get mad and quit.” “I never should have come away and left her,” lamented Harrington. “They sent you on a vacation to give Fannie a rest,” explained Sam, “but if you really mean to be a good boy It would be a good idea to send for her. The trouble .with her has been that she cared so much for you that she wor ried when you were not pleased, and you never were pleased, so she wor ried all the time. It will do her good to come up here and have you wait on her.” “I’ll go after her,” offered Ben hasti ly. He was thinking of the cool of the morning on the boat when they two should have the deck alone. It was there that be wanted to tell her how sorry he was. He could not know that Sam had wired. It was well that he could not read the message, for It ran: Better come up. Ben’s found out wh.u the matter was, and I'll see that he re members. SAM. But Sam’s share of the task was light, for Harrington remembered of his own accord as he coaxed the roses back to where the lilies had been in his wife’s pale cheeks. When his irri tation rose there rose before him a vision of cold bacon and a threatening face. It was not romantic, but it was effective. ®SO YEARS' EXPERIENCE | Trade Marks • Designs Copyrights Ac, Anyone sending s sketch and description may quickly ascertain our opinion free whether an > : Invention Is probably patentable.
