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.
