"But Mr. Glynn Wanted His
Home and Wife.
BY LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY.
"Slio thinks ho'H tlio only man ou
earth."
"Ho worships the ground she wnlku
on."
"Sho snys ho husn't n fault."
"Ho Buys die's perfection."
They said this and more of Mr.
Prank Glynn and his brldo a8 late aa
six months nftor nwrrlnge, and moat
of It was truo. It hud been a mar
riage for lovo, and not a Haw had yet
appeared. Husband and wlfo couldn't
boo why they Bhould not sail on In
this happy, loving way till tho coming
of tho silver threads among tho gold.
Tho brlde-wlfo was her 'own house
- keoper. That was not only qulto a
saving out of u salary none too lib
eral, but there was no one about to
witness tho billing and cooing going
on. Tho grin on tho face of a kitchen
maid has been known to act like a
douche of ico water, and to bring nbout
a family council as to tho advisabil
ity of braining her with a bludgeon.
Rain or shine, cold or hot, tho little
wife had always been waiting at tho
gate to give her husband a hug and u
kiss, nnd later on, as sho broiled tho
chops and ho spread tho table, to gtvo
liim tho gossip of the day. Thla
homo-coming wbh different this one
on a particularly disagreeable eve
ning. Mr. Glynn had hardly reached
the store that morning nnd taken his
Beat In his bookkeeper's cage when
I1I3 right heel began to pester him.
There was a wrinkle In bis sock, and
Its sawing away at Ills epidermis irri
tated and annoyed and hurt. Mr.
Olynn know Just what It was, but,
man-like, ho put off removing his shoo
and sock and tho wrinkle. A woman
would have yanked that wrinkle Into
the middle of next week in a mlnuto
nnd n half, but a mnn suffers long
and then goes homo to claim that it
Is ono of his wife's hairpins instead of
a wrinkle. Had be married a wife to
bo a comfort to him, or to stand by
and see him suffer nnd never hand out
n nympathetlc word?
No little wife to meet him at tho
gate. No wife to meet him at the
door. No wife in hiding to jump out
and give blm a start of surprise.
"Whnt does this mean?"
Sho was sitting up in bed, with her
hair down, tears in her eyes, nnd her
jaw tied up. Grand opportunity for
him to dash forward nnd press her
to his chest nnd declare his heartfelt
sympathies. Hut ho didn't take ad
vantage of it. Ho stood back and
thought of his throbbing licel, and
grudgingly asked:
"Headache?"
"Num." ' I
"Earache?"
"Num."
"Cat dead?"
"Frank, don't bo n fool! I havo
Buffered all day with a toothache, and
havo been to the dentist twice."
"Ob, I see. Others havo suffered,
too."
"You, ought to havo known that I
wti3 suffering, and come homo to
cheer mo up. The dentist said you
would if you were a man."
"Tho dentist bo hanged! Haven't
I bad a blamed old wrinkle trying
all day to saw my heel off! I am
homo now, but am I getting any sym
pathy?" Tho wife lay back on the pillows
and wept, and tho husband dlnod on
a stale roll and a sliced cucumber
and thought thoughts. A wrinkle and
a toothache nothing more. Both had
ceased to worry by next morning, but
there was no laughing and making up.
At the end of the third day the bus
band came home to say:
"Dora, isn't it plain to you, that
we made a great mistako In getting
married?"
It being put that way to her, of
eourso Dora replied in the affirmative.
"And can't you see the wretched
ness of continuing the mistake?"
Yes, Dora could see It.
"We neither of us want tho noto
riety of the divorce courts."
. "No."
"In fact, we don't want to admit
even to our relatives that we have
made a mistake.
"No."
"Therefore we will go on In a
way, but it will be a separation. You
will address me as 'Mr. Glynn,' and
I shall glvo you the title of 'Mrs.' "
"Very well, Mister Glynn."
"No more kissing no more holding
hands."
, "I am glad of that."
' "If I wish to go out of an evening
I go, and you, of course, have the
same privilege."
"Yes, thoro nro many places I wish
to go to In tho evening by myself,
and when you aro in tho houso hero
with mo it will bo very stupid!"
' Mr. Glynn percentlbly winced at
that, but bluffed It out by saying:
"If at tho end of flvo or six months
we find that wo aro in perfect accord
wo can"
"But we shan't find any such
thing!" was interrupted.
"Very well, Mrs. Glynn!1
"Very well, Mr. Glynn!"
At breakfast next morning Mr.
Glynn found himself tho star boarder
and his wife tho landlady. Ho didn't
ask for a second cup of coffee, as was
Ills wont, because he found It hard
to get rid of the first, and ho won
jdered by what process the bacon had
icome to Its sad end. No apologies
yore offered by the landlady. He tried
to get up a dbcuislon on politics, but
It was not a success, and something
seemed nmlss ns ho started oft to
his work without a goodby ktsa and a
pat on tho check.
That evening when Mr. Olynn
reached home he found tho tablo nt
for one. Tho eatables consisted of
bread and butter nnd canned salmon,
and n note had been left snylng thnt
Mrs. Glynn might not bo homo till n
lato hour. Sho had been given her
liberty, and sho meant to enjoy It,
Mr. Glynn pnssed by tho sumptuous
supper and went to n restaurant
After ho had dined he decided to go
to a thenter. Then ho decided not to.
Ho walked about for a couplo of
hours, wondering whero Mrs, Glynn
could havo gone, and then went to
his home. Ho forgot for tho mo
ment thnt It was his boarding house.
He forgot that he was a separated
husband.
Mrs. Glynn camo in at eleven
o'clock. She was smiling and happy
or at least so pretended.
"Look hero, now, what docs thll
mean?"
"Sir!" exclaimed tho "landlady," as
she whirled on him.
"1 demand to know "
"You are not In a position to de
mand anything, sir!'
Alas, ho wnsn't. She wnlked on to
her room, nnd after sulking for nn
hour ho sought IiIb but not to sleep.
It seemed as if there were n hundred
wrlnkloH in his sheets in place of tho
ono in his sock. How menu he had
been about that toothache! What a
fool to suggest a separation! Ho had
been a star boarder for thirty-eight
hours, nnd ho had failed to find any
comfort or glory In it. Ho had said
that If aftor live or six months
Chump! idiot! Doneheml!
"Well," replied Mrs. Glynn to a
knock at her door Just at daylight.
"Dora, I want to speak to you."
"Ureakfast at the usual hour, Mr
Glynn!"
"Dora, I don't want a sepnratlon!"
"Hut you've got ono!"
"I dou't want to bo a boarder!"
"There aro bachelor apartments and
valets."
"Dora, I want my homo and mj
llttlo wife."
Silence from within.
"I ought not to have minded that
wrinkle."
More silence.
"I ought to havo sympathized with
you." '
The sounds of fort on tho floor.
"I was mean about It."
Tho door wns softly opened an Inch
or two.
"And and separation be hanged!"
"Why, Frank, I hadn't heparatcd at
alf. it was all you, by your lone
some." "You sco, I had had h wrinkle In
my sock nil day."
"Poor boy! And I bad had the
toothache."
"Poor girl! Well, what is It to bo?"
"Oh, aB your landlady, I have
raised my boarder out of tho game."
"Hut as your hubby V
"If ho'H bewaro of wrinkles la hla

And ho thought so, too.
NATURE TAKES CARE OF ALL
Provides Many Natural Compasses to.
Keep the Traveler Straight
on Hit Course.
Thoso well versed In woodcraft
point out that even in tho "trackless
forests" naturo provides many natural
comnassos to keep tho traveler
straight in his course.
For instance thero Ib the mature
tree that stands apart from its fel
lows. Tho bark on this tree will be
harder, drier und lighter in color on
the south Bide. On the north it will
be darker and often at the roots it
will show a clump of mold or moss.
On the south side of all evergreen
trees, gum which oozes from wounds
or knot holes will bo hard and amber
colored. On tho north side this gum
Is softer, generally dustier, and is of
a soiled gray hue. In the autumn or
winter trees that show a rough bark
have nests of insects in the crevices
on the south side. Hardwood trees
the oak, the ash, elms, hickories,
mesquite, etc. have moss and mold
on tho north. Loaves are smaller,
tougher, lighter in color and with
darker veins on the south. in the
north they are longer, of darker green
and' with lighter veins. Spiders build
on the south side. In tho Boutb, nlr
plants will attach themselvos to the
north sides. Cedars bend their tips
to the south.
Sawed or cut stumps will afford one
the compass points, Inasmuch as the
concentric rings aro thicker on the
south side. The heart of tho stump is
thus nearer to the north side. These
results are. said to be duo to the in
fluence of the sun. Stones are bare
on the south side, and if they show
any moss at all It will be on the
north. At best, on tho sunny side
only a thin covering of harsh, half
dry mos3 will be found. Tho ground
is noisier under foot on tho south side
of a hill. On the north sido forns,
mosses and lato flowers grow. When
ono Is in a marsh small bushes will af
ford tho lesson. Then leaves and
limbs show tho same differences. Al
most all wild flowers turn their faces
to tho south.

HAS SILKS; DIES IN RAGS
Former Woman Educator, Considered
Witch by Neighbors, Succumbs
to Scalds.
St. Louis, Mo. A crowd of women
gathered in the queer little apothe
cary shop at 1419 Franklin avenuo
recently discussing with awe the death
of the proprietor, the strange woman
who for years had held them in fear
and awe of her through mystic psy
chic powers which ahe was reputed
to possess.

chair In the little Franklin shop suf
fering agony from scalds on her feet
and limbB received when she fell into
a bathtub partly filled with hot water,
bofore ahe .was persuaded to have a
doctor.
Clothed in rags, ahe watted painfully
for tho end, with her trunks packed
with gorgeous silks, rich possessions
from the Orient.
Sho knew sho was dying and her
last act was to send for Mrae. Bee,
a fortuno teller, and Miss Delia Huddy,
who live In tho rooms abovo her
shop, to whom sho gave her fifteen
cats, ,-
For years the women of the neigh
borhood had hold tho fifteen cats in
