Twice-Teid!
Briefly: The wamnn I loved was
HncestiBably pre-ordaiaed to be my
wife, bet it took me six months x emt-1
viaee her of it, and even then the aru-
f mets wexe confidential; and carried on f
m apite or racers, mothers, aunts, ami
sisters oa bth sides of the secret affi-
anee.
Finally, I carried her oft suddenly,
married her hurriedly, and jre.tumbled I
nasziij o a.aat to cousiaer it slowly. ,
I remember I hwte her In. mr arate,
w aa hour, or frrrojit the-dark -sJtaidea& kikes possesswa of him.
fcmghin&and crying, and I plaving the
mixed part ot the bravo and the con
soler, bat afraid to get up and light the
gas. for fear I should dissipate some
part of the illBoe.
I had won her by a hair.salVsqueeaed
her tight to inake sure it was. the prize
I had been after.
Oh. you fellows whoeoert a girl four
or five years, have no Wen f the luxury,
the eesteae enjoyment, of such a
tie main! Long before you have mar-j
tied your woman, you have growit ac-.
customed to your x'vdh. proprietorship. 1
Everybody has tacitly aeknowleiiged it, j
bv keeping cm$ F vour way. The edge j
of possesoWMi has.been duMed -by slow
familiarity. You La-ve talked over all
the posaie details of the important
event, fixiag even the color of the
charr-lintBgs; and the bridtd ceremo
ny is only an incident hi a series of cir
cumstances that you have arranged
with the dull formality of aa under
taker. You dissipnie ail the illusion
of tb sex, by itt5a?f up with yoar in
tended till 12 o'clock, discussing- rents
and servants. You stitlkposafcaHy in
to the mysteries of womanhood, and
yo know all about the wa3fc-nlis, the
pries of nursing-bottles, and tbe repu
tation of the nenrest doctor, loasr before
t the crisis arrives.
This is your national-humor wooer.
Give e-k the brute- that I was, if the
thing is to he rehearsed. Let me leap
oct of the purgatory of doubts into the
paradise of possession. Let me find
myself, after years of luxuriant imagin
ing, voluptuous fancies, strange doubts
ami misgivings, and a rude simplicity
that heightened and exaggerated ail
the mysteries of the se let me sud
denlv find nrrself with mv arms full of
tie mystery; its whelming bodiee
throbbing agaiBEt my coatt its white
arms around myneck; the whole worid j
on the other sice at the door, savins:
"By heavens, it shall not be." and I idi-otigaftg-,
kissing the part in her hair,
saving- "T3y heavras. ft is?
Now you know who the baby of this
storv kj.
The manly brute who, so to speak,
bttcst into amiziraonv in tlas. hargkir-
ioas manner, andergees several verv
otrious transformations.
For the first six months he swells
about with tbe air of a eonne5or. and
sneaks of "my wife" as if she were a
banner wrung; from the eaemy.
His chief concern i to keep himself
from finding oat how soft awl senti
mental he is. His great blindness will
not let him see that marrying knocked
some of the brutality out of hira, and
that now he is developing into a xe
spoasibie haeam being.
During she next six months he grows
a little restless. He remembers the
peculiar and sharp pleasure of capture,
nod steady possession does not renew it.
This is the last dare of the original
bruta in him. Inhis reckless laoiaeiitsi
of caniempcttloe, he wonders if after
aH, the poiyjgamons Nations were not
right, and. if. from a purely physiolog
ical point of view, it would not" be bet
ter if a man married every year.
At the end of twelve months. T
found by actual experience that the
dark brown hair did not send the same
electric shock through me when it
swept over my forehead.
The truth is. I didn't think she friz
zled it so exquisiiely.
But be that as it may. she noticed,
with a woman's keen sense, all that was
' Tjossinfr in mv mind. Once or twice I
, thought she said as if in tender admo-
nition: "Do yoa love me for my hair

and lasty affection
Then one day I made a fresh discov
ery. It Hashed upon me suddenly that
she mi-ht die. I hadn't thought of
this before. What business had my
property to die? I turned about and
ran home as fast as I could, for I
thoueht I'd stop the dvin nonsense, as
I a husband should.
V aen I got to my door and rang the
bell, an old woman came to the door,
opened it cautiously, put her finger to
her lip, and beckoned to me mysf eri-
oasiv. I followed her into an unoccu-
pied room.

"Tookr I shouted -ITercIful heav

She blinked at me. '"She's took to

Taickr I gasped. Trien my premo
nition was right. She was going to die.
The old woman -stood with her back
to the door.
"Xou must stay here," she said. "I'll
go up and see. Wait a moment."
I think I was about to jump over her
head, when she turned round, with an
awful official severity, and said:
-Do vou want to kill her?"
ulor I answered, submissively.
"Then sit down and make yourself

There are two occasions in a house
hold, when the head thereof feels his
i utter insisuHfcance. On both of these
occasions, a dread, foreign element
stalks grimly into his sanctuary, feys
its old bonnet on the hail stand, ha-s
is reticule upon the hat-rack, looks at
him icily, and takes sifent possession of
the place. Protests are vain in the
presence of that dire minister. Au
thority is of no avaiL for it is the in
sigaia of the invincible necessity under
its wrinkled forehead; and calmly
k nourishes tbe most potent of all au
thority, that of a precedent.
A man inst actively knows, whenf
his methodical moneter assumes con-
ttrol of his hoape, that one of two dread
events is about to follow life or death.
But if be is as it was jast oat of
tbe animal kingdom, and hardly vet a
f ull-Sedsred man, he will he very apt to
i.raistake one event for the other.
He oalv knows that he is in dreadf el
suspense. That the hoase is hashed.!

these unosoal and sKmineant circum
p stances are onlv the wreiuniBanes ot
others in the same ehara. That pres
ently a dead hush will f alir over every
thing; that he will taeet the doctor and
shake hands with him solemnly, and
that personage will go away hurriedly,
and another more dread wiH come.
Then there wiH be a ptmaent smell of
varnish m the house, and a shtiffie of
feet. The windows will be opened and
the blinds pelted down and whati
thee?
Does not the very strenuoasBess of
life breed this dread in the brain? Do
others not aaeh through the mind

silent, over the grave, aad horrible low-
Bering of all that one wves into the day.
with the attendant miseries of desola
tion aad unutterable solitude as those
friends walking away homeward, talk-
frag of tlir life affairs, that have not
been disturbed by this blast that has
withered your heart forever?
For the first time in his life, and just
as his soul has stretehed out and tiiken
root, comes to the man this dread phan
tom of the possible, and he Kits his fist
to heaven, and his undiscipliBed nature
rebels.
I called this a new view of myself.
It was. Por the first time, I saw clear
ly how dear my wife was to me. P or
the first time. I ueeame aware of my
own capacity for suffering.
I remember that the nerse appeared
suddenly and softly in the room, like a
wraith, and, with an. uaehanged ex
pression of solemnity, jerked her head,
and saki, "I could see her now."
To me. it was as if she had said. "All
is over, wretch; not even your presence i
can hurt her."
I believe I rushed headlong to know
the worst. The air that I brestd
seemed to have crape in it. The pas-1
S'iges were dark. I stumbled, and mast
have made a great deal of noise. All
at once I whs in a lighted room, white
curtains, white walls, snowy counter
panes, aad a white face, with a new
1 pensive beaaty oa , and a new joy
in it.
I fell down by the bed-side, and got
mv arms around her. My voraeioas
I love seemed to please her. I pressed
her dear face close to mine, and, m spite
of
me, a drop rolled down from my eye
oa her cheek. As it touched her.
upoa
she kissed me, and said, in a thin voice,
but fHtt of the deep music of joy.
Yoe-rfc love me, don't you!"
I doat know what I said, bat I be
lieve it was half apologetic about my
not knowing, and making; a mistake.
But now, that there was a buoy, of

She interrupted me. "There alwa-vs (
was." said she.
"Always was?" I repeated.
"Yes; how there's two of 'em."
I saw something very red, with a
frizzly head. That was one.
"Two? You don't so. Wfaereis the
other?"
"Here," said she, pairing me down
with one arm, and kissing, me again oa
the cheek.
That squeeze pressed the last vestige
L of the brute out of me.

the little pink creature I had at tome,
could stretch its tiny arms across, and
that mothers-in-law and aunts could
walk over on them.
I forgot to say that it was a girL
There was no evidence ef the fact to
my senses, but I accepted the word of
experts.
When, a baby comes into such a
household, it draws off about one-third
of the mother's consideration. The
first one to notice it is the father.
Consequently, one of the immediate
results of a babv is a sort of 'nhnmw
jealousy, of which heis heirtily asham
ed and. tries to hide,but which his wife
unerringly detects, and, good-natrrredly,
forgives. It's so natural, she says, f or
one baby to be jealous of another.
"StilL it is impossible to hate rr.
I tried my best, for a long- time, to
despise-rr. I endeavored to believe rr
broke my rest. That rr exacted too
much attention. That rr was a nuis
ance. And I tried to dream at night of
boardimrrr out in the country, where
there were fine cows and wet nurses on
the thousand hills, and no diphtheria.
But, instead, I dreamed that somebody
was pelting me with ripe, warm peach
es, out of the sun, and woke up to find
its fists in my face!
I think rr reigued a year or so. Then
rr began to change into she. I first
noticed this in a strong tendency to
nurse the brass-headed poker, and to
puttheprayerbook to bed in the cradle,
or my cigar box. Further evidence
was f arnished by the discovery of a j
growing couhoence between mother
and daughter, upon matters of which I
was profoundly ignorant. Being mys
terious, I knew she must be a girl.

He first wies a womaa. Then she

of the early ami peculiar amusements
of the married pair is to sot hex up ami

annual moult, and should be killed for
the table. After the second annual
moult hens are apt to become egg
bound, espeetaiiv if well fed and fat.
The excess of fat that accumulates
about thelower intestines and ovaries
weakens these organs and renders
them incapable of performing their
offices. Hence the fowl suffsrs and
beeomes profitless. When left too long
ithe bird becomes fevensa and the
flesh is unfit for food. The better
way is to avoid thisjcrouble. since there
is no cure, by not allowing- the birds to
go into the second winter. Trouble
of this kind seldom occurs with pullets
or young hens. To obtain a supply of
winter eggs, we must have the chicks
out in March or ApriL Leghorns and
some of the smaller breeds will do in
growth. The Asiatics are generally
