“My Husband’s Love”
The Decision Madge Swiftly Made to
Meet Dicky's Ultimatum.
Dicky's sneering reference to me as
.loan-of-Arc with-the - fagota - just
bghting,” was the last match needed
to set the powder magazine of my
temper ablaze.
One of my husband's most effective ]
ways of infuriating me is to refer to1
me ns "martyr-like"—1 sometimes!
wonder if niy wrathful reaction to the]
accusation is not because of my sub-!
■ onscious recognition of a aoupcon of I
truth in it—and the words in which !
lie had couched his ultimatum con
cerning our finding another place
had been especially blistering.
The one advantage I have tn any
ilt with Dicky has its roots in the
e-senttal difference of our tempera
ments. When lie is angry he uncon-1
sclously works himself into a rage
which becomes more tempestuous as
it advances. But as a general thing, I
the more angry I uni, the more quiet
becomes niy voice, and the more con-1
trolled becomes my demeanor. Be
fore I let myself go. I am like a |
seething volcano, but the mere act of|
loosening the reins on my wrath]
changes me to tin iceberg, with a
1 rigidity of voice and mien which gen.
• tally stands me in good stead in anv|
controversy.
•I—Will—Not!”
So. with every nerve taut but con
trolled. 1 threw back my head and
,1 cp,] rny bate husband steadily.
"You mean then. I infer, to break
i tit budget agreement to pay only
-ii much for rent because wo wish to
-:ne for Junior?" 1 put the query
icily.
I mean to get out of this blasted
hole, no matter what 1 pay or what
happens," Dicky stormed.
"Very well, then," 1 acquiesced.
You are at perfect liberty to select
as expensive an apartment as you
please—but—it will be a bachelor one.
I will not live in any apartment for
which we pay more than the rent we
so solemnly agreed upon when we
arranged our budget--"
Dicky promptly consigned the
budget to a place which would in
evitably consume its leaves, but 1
went on unheeding.
"Neither will I again undergo the
hack-breaking, nerve-shuttering drud
gery which preceded my finding of
this place.” I said steadily. "You
hunted spectacularly for a day or two.
and th* n tossed the r\ hole thing upon
my shoulders, and off your own mind.
You know nothing whatever of hous
ing conditions nor of the Infinite
trouble l had before fortunately
stumbling upon this apartment. If
you can find another at the same
price*in which you will consent to
live, 111 gladly share it, or 1 will stay
here with you. But look farther for
an apartment, myself, or live In one
more expensive than this, are things
1—will—not—do."
Dicky Settles One Question
I purposely made each word em
phatic. and stressed the pauses lie
tween them. Then I turned away,
as if Dicky's reaction to m.v ulti
matum was a matter of no Interest to
me.
In reality, however. my nerves
were tensely .fused into one burning
Interrogation-point. I did not have
to wait long for an answer, however.
With a muttered imprecation. Dicky
hurried through the frosted-glass
doors which separated the living
room front the only bedroom and
closed them so violently behiml/tiini
that 1 feared the glass would I"'
shivered.
It was a satisfactory punctuation >>f
the controversy. I acknowledged to
myself philosophically, although 1
well knew that It was by no means
ended. Hut. with nerves somewhat
eased of their tension. I let down the
big davenport, which was a really
good-looking couch by day, and a
comfortable bed at night, and ad
justed my coverlets and pillows
The couch had been one of the
things which decided me upon tic'
apartment—this chance for Dicky ami
me to have the separate rooms that
have been ours since our marriage,
and because of bis propensity for
throwing his tilings upon the led or
floor, whichever happened to be
handiest. I had ttiifn hint the bed
room. and taken the living-room with
;-.s disguised davenport as my own
sleeping chamber. My eonili and
brush and other toilet articles I k--pt
in a drawer of the writing desk, but
my bath-robe, kimono and night
dresses were hung up in the b'g
wardrobe which served as out only
closet in Dicky's ro6m.
I was just wondering how I was
to get. them, when the glass door
opened a crack, ami through it
hurtled a bundle, which fulling apart
as it struck the floor, sent all my
night ami early morning require
ments—Including my mules, my ox
| fords and a morning house-gown—

—Drummer the Woodpecker.
Hiitl Drummer the Woodpecker I
known who was listening when he
drummed his joy because t lie new
house he anti Mrs. Drummer ltHtl been
building was finished, ho wouldn't
have, flown away willi Mrs. Drummer
in search of a dinner as happily as
he did. No. he wouldn't. Probably
both he and Mrs. Drummer would
have forgotten all about dinner, anti
I am quite sure that both of them
would have lost all their joy in the
new home.
You see. it happened that Mr. Black
snake, who had awakened from his,

llu Grated llis Teelh and Growled.
winter sleep some little time before,
teas lazily making his way down the
Long Gan", lie was traveling along
c lose to the fence, and wondering
where he would get the i>eSt meal.
When he heard that rat a-lat-tnt com
ing from a tree lust ahead of him
Mr. Blacksnuke lifted bis head and
his eyes brightened. He stopped to
listen. At least I suppose that is what
against him was distinctly mitigated
with amusement as I surveyed the
heterogeneous collection uimn the
floor of the living-room. But that
there was no diminution of Dicky's
anger, 1 realized as l heard the dooi
close again with an angry click.
"
you would *ny. A Snake, you know,;
has no ears. But he has a way uf 1
feeling sound.
"There's a Woodpecker up in thatj
tree." thought Mr. Blacksnake. "Anilj
if I know anything about it. he has,
a nest up there. If he hasn't lift
might to have. It Is Just about nest
ing time for Woodpeckers. I suppose
it is too early yet for any young htriks.
but there may he eggs. I certalnfly
would like some eggs. 1 sure would.
I don't feel much like climbing that
tree, but I would do It in a minute
if 1 was sure I would find eggs up
there."
Mr. Blacksnake slowly glided along
until he reached the foot of the tree
in which Drummer and Mrs. Drum
mer had made their new home. He
looked that tree all over. It was a
tree he could climb without a great
deni of difficulty. Mr. Blacksnake
coiled up at tlie foot of It to think
things over. He was hungry. Pet>
haps If he kept on he could get a din
ner without the trouble of climbing.
On the other hand, he might have to
travel a long distance without a
chance to get anything to eat.
"It's worth trying.” hissed Mr.
Blaeksnake at last, and slowly uncoil
ing lie prepared to climb that tree.
Just as he started up that tree
Johnny Chuck happened along. He
saw Mr. Blacksnake, and Instantly he
grated his teeth and growled. Johnny
Chuck didn’t like Mr. Blacksnake. He
wasn't afraid of him. for Johnny was
too liig for Mr. Blacksnake to hurt.
But he didn't like Mr. Blacksnake to
be around. You know ^injjody likes
Mr. Blacksnake.
Just then Johnny saw for the fiiet
time a lot of very tiny chips of white
wood scattered about the foot of that
tree He knew what they meant. He
guessed i ght away that Drummer the
AVoodpeoker and Mrs. Drummer had
made a new home up in that tree.
He knew then what Mr. Blacksnake
was climbing that tree for. He knew
that somehow Mr. Blacksnake had
guessed that there was a home up In
that tree and was going up to find
out. /
The hair along Johnny's back stood
up. and he showed ail his teeth as he
grated them. But there wasn't a
thing he could do. Mr. Blacksnake
paid po attention to him at all. He
kept right on without hurrying at all.
He seemed to know that he could take
his time.
"Oh, dear. M do hope that neither
Drummer or Mrs. Drummer ars in
their home!” thought Johnny.
The next story: "Mr. Blacksnake Is
Disappointed.”

Problems That Perplex
(iiiiimcnt* on Ambitious Mother.
Dear Miss Kali fnX: In reading The
Evening Bee of Thursday I see where
a woman writes to you about "Am
bitious Mother's" letter. Well, she
may know something of a high-tem- |
pered husband, and I agree with her!
one can handle those high tempered j
husbands if they will. I have been j
married J2 years and 1 don't think
there could he a higher tempered hus- '
hand than I have, and when he gets i
one of those fits, as I call them. I !
don't let on as though lie was talking
to me. I go about the house and sing
and I just let hint alone until he gets
through with his mad spell; then lie
is good as he can be. I find out by j
experience it is the best not to talk
to a person when he is nmd. One |
word brings on another. Maybe every- i
body isn't just like myself. I know ’
of some\ people w ho would love to j
quarrel rather than sleep—not me.
Well, I hope my letter don’t reach the
waste paper basket, and here is the
very best wishes and good luck to,
you and your work. Miss Fairfax.
P, 8.—What day did September T,
1894. come on, please?

Dear .Miss Fairfax: I ajn a girl of
22 and for about six or seven months
have been keeping company with a
young man.
Now, my trouble Is: That this young
man claims to care a great deal for
me and has spoken indirectly of mar
riage several nines, hut he has never
been inside the house or met m.v folks.
Me has only taken me some place
once or twice all this time and never
calls me up. Me just takes me home
from parties and dances, once a week,
or sometimes once in two weeks, where
we both happen to be. Otherwise 1
never see him or hear anything from
him. But still wjien he is with me,
he acts likes he cares a great deal for
me. Now, Miss Fairfax, do you think |
he really does care for me? It seems 1
to me that he would not treat me tills
way if lie did. I think quite a lot of j
him, hut am in doubt as to whether 1
he means what he has told me. Other
girls’ sweethearts do not treat them 1
that way. Would you ask him the
reason for this or give him up? I
pit mi Use to follow whatever advice
you give me. Sometimes this young
man treats me indifferently and has
caused me to feel bddly more than
once.
Please answer in The Evening Bee
and I want to thank yon In advance
for your advice. "CAKOLINBC.”
Me cannot possibly care much for
you and act «s_he does You are
young, why not try to cliarm some
one else who is c apable of some af
fection. I should think your future
would be very gray with this man.
Tempest: Consult u lawyer

Worried: You should weigh about
130. But why worry about it if you
are in good health? If not. consult a
doctor.
Jimmie and IMIlie: The legal age
is now 21. Parents sometimes do
have marriages of minors annulled.
You would have to consult a lawyer
for more exact information.
Mabel: As you are both young. I
think it would he advisable to wait a
year or two. Your parents have the
right idea—why not take their ad
vice?
Babe: When some one says, "I am
glad to have met yon.'' you sav sim

follow in any situation is the natural
simple one.
