"It shows he's fond of me," said Mrs. Ganntt, locking down. Mrs. ClufSna jumped up and. snatcb Ing the com off the cage, endeavor ed, bet la vain, to get the parascl tirctxgh the bara.

Mr. Gaxicett. aothinr her asritated friend aa wvll aa site was able, led her gectUx to a chair and removed her bon net and. finding that complete recov ery was Impossible while the parrot re xaainJ in the room, took that wonder TrfUag bird out&ide. H j the time they bad reached the dacks and boarded the Curlew Mrs. Cluffina had quite recovered her spir its. She roamed 'about the steamer asking qoeatlons which savored more cf Idle curiosity- than a genuine thirst for knowledge and was at no pains to conceal her opinion of tbo&e who were unable to furnish her with satisfac tory re pile. "I shall think of you every day, Jem." aaiJ Mrs. Gannett tenderly. "1 shall think of you every minute," said the engineer reproachfully. He s'xbod gently and gazed In, a scandalized fashion at Mrs. Cluffina, who was carrying on a desperate flirta tSoa with one of the apprentices. "She's very light hearted." said his wife, following the direction of hia eye. "She Is," said Mr. Gannett curtly as the onrouartotts Mrs. Cluffins shorten ed her paraAul and rapped the appren tice playfully with the handle. "She serra to be on very good terms with Jenkins, langhing and carrying oil I don't seppoae she's ever seen him before," aaid the engineer. "Poor youDt thing." said Mrs. Cluf Una sretrmij. aa ahe came up to them. "Don't you worry. Mr. Gannett. I'll look after her and keep ber from mop Inr." Toure very kind," said the engineer slowly. "Well hare a jolly time." said Mrs. OufSna, "I often wisb my he. band was a seafaring man. A wife does hae more frer-Jom. dcesn't she? "More what? inquired Mr. Gannett huskily. , "More freMom." said Mrs. CluSns grarely. "I always envy sailors wives. Tb-y can do aa they like- No husband to look after them for nine or ten mo at La la the year." iWore the unhappy engineer could jrrt hia iadicnaat thoughta Into words there waa a warning cry from the gansrway. and with a hasty farewell he hcrrid below. The visitors went ashore, the gangway was ahipped. and fa resnotue to the clang of the tele graph the Curlew drifted slowly away from the qnsy and Leaded for the awlag bridge slowly opening la front f ber. The two ladle hurried to the pler b"ad and watched the steamer down the river until a bend hid It from view. Tbn Mrs. Gannett, with a senaation of bavin kwrt something, due. -ber friend assured her. to the want of a cup of tu west slowly back to her lonely borne. I a rhe period of grass widowhood which ensued. Sirs. CluSns visits formed a!mot the sole relief to the bare monotony of existence. Aa a com panion the parrot waa an utter failure. Ita langcaxe being ao Irredeemably bad that it petst taot of lis time In the :re room with a cloth over Ita eajre woadtfing when the days were smog to b-Ejthesa bill Mrs. CluScs suggested selling It, but Lev frWnd rep!Ul the suggestion with horror and refutmd to entertain it at any prW, even that of the publican at the comer, who bad beard of the bird's euiiitfsaad of language and waa bent upon buylag It. "1 wonder what that beauty will Lave to uli your husband," said Mrs. CtuZaa aa they at together one day mu toot month after th Curlewa de;artnre, sirfxdj fspa that ha has forgotten that nonsensei" eaid Mrs. Gannett, red dening. "H,e never alludes to it In hia tetters," , "Sell it," said Mrs. Cluffina peremp torily, "It's no good to you, and Jim son would give anything for it al most." Mrs. Gannett shook ber head. The bouse wouldn't bold my husband If I did," she remarked, with a shiver. Ob, yes, it would V said Mrs. Cluf fins. "You do , as I tell you, and a much smaller house than this would bold him. I told a to tell Jimson he should haTe it for 3." "But be mustn't," said ber friend in alarm. ' "Leave yourseH right In my handa," said Mrs. Clufflas, spreading out two small palms and regarding them com placently. "It'll bo all right, I promise you." She put ber arm around her friend's waist and led her to the window, talk ing earnestly. In five minutes Mrs. Gannett was wavering, in ten she had given away, and In 15 the energetic Mrs. Clufflns was en route for Jim son's, swinging the cage so violently in her excitement that the parrot was re duced to holding on to Its perch with claws and, bill and could only think. Mrs. Gannett watched their progress from the window and with a queer look on her face sat down to think out the points of attack and defense in the approaching fray. A week later a four wheeler drove up to the door, and the engineer, dart ing up stairs three steps at a time, dropped an armful of parcels on the floor and caught his wife In an em brace which would have done credit to a bear. Mrs. Gannett, for reasons, of which lack' of muscle was only one, responded less ardently. "II a, it's good to be home again!" said Gannett, sinking into an easy chair and pulling his wife on his knee. "And how have you been? Lonely?" "I got used to It," said Mrs. Gannett softly. The engineer coughed. "You had the parrot." he remarked. "Yes. I had the magic parrot," said Mrs. Gannett, "How's it getting on?" said her hus band, looking round. "Where Is it?" "Part of it Is on the mantelpiece," said Mrs. Gannett, trying to speak calmly, "part of it is In a bonnet box up stairs, some of ifs In my pocket, and here Is the remainder." She fumbled in her pocket and placed In his hand a cheap two bladed clasp knife. "On the mantelpiece?" repeated the engineer, staring at the knife. "In a bonnet box?" "Those blue vases," said his wife. Mr. Gannett put his hand to his head. If he had heard aright, one parrot had changed into a pair of blue vases, a bonnet and a knife. A magic bird with a vengeance! "I sold it," said Mrs. Gannett sud denly. The engineer's knee stiffened inhos pitably, and his arm dropped from' his wife's waist. She rose quietly and took a chair opposite, "Sold it!" said Mr. Gannett in awful tones. "Sold my parrot!" I didn't like it, Jem," said his wife, "I didn't want that bird watching me, and I did want the vases and the bon net and the little present for you." Mr. Gannett pitched the little present to the other end of the room. "You see. it mightn't have told. the truth, Jem," continued Mrs. Gannett. "It might have told all sorts of lies about me and made no end of mis chief." "It couldn't lie," shouted the engi neer passionately, rising from his chair and pacing the room. "Ifs your guilty conscience that's made a coward of you. How dare you sell my parrot?" "Because it wasn't truthful. Jem." said his wife, who was somewhat pale. "If you were half as truthful, you'd do," vociferated the engineer, stand ing over her. "You, you deceitful wo man." Mrs. Gannett fumbled in her pocket again and producing a small handker chief applied it delicately to her eyes. "I I got rid of It for your sake," she stammered. "It used to tell such lies about you I couldn't bear to listen to it." "About me?" said Mr. Gannett, sink ing into his seat and staring at his wife with rery natural amazement. "Tell lies about me? Nonsense. How could itr "I suppose It could tell me about yo-3 as easily as It could you about me," said Mrs. Gannett. "There waa more magic in that bird than you thought. Jem. It used to say shock ing things about you. I couldn't bear lb" "Do you think you're talking to a child or a fool?" demanded the engi neer hotly. Mrs. Gannett shook her head feebly. She still -kept the handkerchief to her eyes, but' allowed a portion to drop over her mouth. "I should like to hear some of the lies It told about me." said the engi neer, with bitter sarcasm, "If you can remember them." "The first lie," said Mrs. Gannett In a feeble but ready voice, "was about the time you were at Genoa, The par rot said you were at some concert gar dens at the upper end of the town." One moist eye came mildly from be hiEd the handkerchief just in time to see the engineer stiffen suddenly In his chair. "I don't suppose there even Is such a place," she continued. "I b'lleve there Is." said ber hus- band Jerkily. "I've heard our chaps talk of It." "But you haven't been there?" said bis wife anxiously, "Never!" said the engineer, with ex traordinary vehemence. "That wicked bird said that you got intoxicated there," said Mrs. Gannett,! in solemn accents, "that you smashed a little marble topped table and knockx ed down two waiters and that if it hadn't have been for the captain of the Pursuit, who was In there and who got you away, you'd have been locked up. Wasn't It a. wicked bird r "Horrible T' said the engineer hus kily, -.r. . "I don't suppose there ever waa a ship called the Pursuit, continued Mrs. Gannett. . '-. "Doesn't sound like a ship's name," murmured Mr. Gannett. "Well, then a few. days later it said the Curlew was at Naples." "I never went ashore all the time we were at 'Naples," remarked the engi neer casually. ' ? ' "The parrot aald you did," said Mrs, Gannett . "I suppose you'll believe your own lawful husband before that ' dashed bird!" shouted Gannett, starting up. "Of course I didn't believe It, Jem, said hia wife. "I'm trying to prove to you that the bird was not truthful, but you're so hard to persuade." v Mr. Gannett took a pipe from his pocket and with a small knife dug, with much severity and determination, a hardened plug from the bowl and blew noisily through the stem. "There was a girl kept a fruit stall Just by the harbor," said Mrs. Gannett, "and on this evening, on the strength "Sold Of Sold my parrotT' of having bought three pennyworth of green figs, you put your arm round her waist and tried to kiss her. and her sweetheart, who was standing close by. tried to 6 tab you. The parrot said that you were In such a state of terror that you Jumped into the harbor and was nearly drowned." Mr. Gannett, having loaded his pipe, lit it slowly and carefully and with tidy precision got up and deposited the match In the fireplace, " "It used to frighten , me so with its stories that I hardly knew what to do with myself." continued Mrs. Gannett, "when you were at Suez." The engineer waved hs hand ."imperi ously. "That's enough," be said stiffly. "I'm sure I don't want to have to re peat what it told me about Suez." said his wife. "I thought you'd like to hear it, that's all." "Not at alL said the engineer, puff tog at his pipe, "Not at all." "But you see why I . got rid of the bird, don't you?" said Mrs. Gannett, "If it had told you untruths about me, you would have" believed them, wouldn't you?" Mr. Gannett took his pipe from his mouth and took his wife in his extend ed arms. "No, my dear." be said bro kenly; "no more than you believed all this stuff about me." "And I did quite right to sell it, didn't I. Jem?" "Quite right." said Mr. Gannett, with a great assumption of heartiness. "Best thing to do with it." "You haven't heard the worst yet," said Mrs. Gannett. "When you were at Suez" Mr. Gannett consigned Suez to its only rival and. thumping the table with his clinched fist, forbade his wife to mention the word again and desired her to prepare supper. Not until he heard her moving about In the kitchen below did he relax the severity of his countenance. Then his expression changed to one of extreme anxiety, and he restlessly paced the room seeking for light. It came sud denly. "Jenkins." he gasped, "that little brute Jenkins! That's what he was writing to Mrs. Clufflns about, and I was going to tell Clufflns about it- I expect he knows the letters by heart." Bone Conaolatlon. "Well, sir," said the Judge, glaring down over his spectacles at the pris oner who had been convicted of habitual drunkenness, disorderly con duct, vagrancy and confirmed klepto mania, "have you anything to say why sentence shouldn't be passed upon you 7 "Your honor," answered the culprit, throwing tils chest lightly up In the air, "I've been found guilty, haven't I TT. "Yes." n "And no matter what I say, It wouldn't affect your determination to Incarcerate me. would It?" "Not in the least," cheerfully assent ed the judge. "Then why did you ask me if I had anything to say why sentence shouldn't be passed upon me? Was It your pur pose to raise false hopes In my breast or was It simply out of respect to mus ty tradition? If the first, you betray a disposition malignant in Its cruelty; If the second, a foolish regard for silly superstition. I am loath- ' "Six months!" cried the Judge.
