(Continued from page C.) she was thinking of that other wedding that was to have been and It made mc mad, hut F never let .on. Her mother cried a lot, too. Out of sympathy, I suppose. Women arc queer creatures, anyhow. "Things didn't go smoothly for us from tho first. Martha didn't go ahead with tho work like I had been used to seeing mother do. Martha's ma Bald she wasn't strong enough to do all the work and- tho washing and that they had never asked her to do much at home, because she had always been small and delicate. Lord! Mother did all the housework for a family of eight and her own washing up to the week before she died, and she wasn't no big ger than Martha. I told Martha's ma that sho had better stay to home and let men run my own house. "Martha lacKeu energy ano ambition. She was always a-worrying. hat sho never said anything about it. Some times when I'd come homo to dinner I'd find her sitting with her hands fold ed in her lap and looking out into space while tho potatoes burned in the kottle or the clothes boiled over on tho stove. When I'd speak to her she'd give a big Jump and her face would turn red and white by turns. A man don't like to have his dinner spoiled, but no amount of talking ever seemed to do her any good. "We had been married about a year when the other follow came back. It appears that he hadn't boon drowned at all. but had beencast up in some out of the way place where ho had been sick for -a long time, I heard the news of his arrival up town and I hur ried home because I wanted to Bee how Martha would take it. When I got home she was lying on tho lounge In tho sitting room with her head In a sofa-pillow crying (it to kill. I suppose Bho thought she was safe there, because sho wasn't expecting me homo for two or three hours. She was talking to herself, too, and going on at a great rate. "Oh. I cari't bear It; I can't bear it. Whatever will he think. If I could only tell him that I wasn't to blame; that I was forced Into It." I took her by the arm and jerked her up. "Get up from there, and quit your sniffling," I said. I said a good deal more, too, that's not worth repeating, but I guess 1 scared her pretty thor oughly. Anyway, she didn't cry any more, but shut her lips in a straight line and wont about her work. "Tho fellow was terribly cut up, folks said. He took to drinking and horse racing and left town a few months later for where, nobody knows. Things' went on worse than ever after that between Martha and I. The only thing that she seemed to care anything about was our hoy.- Her folks had1 gone to live in Alabama and since they loft sho had taken to staying pretty much at home, not talking much to anybody but tho boy. "It was over the boy that we had our final falling out. Martha had spoiled him terribly. I used to remonstrate with her but she kept on spoiling him just tho same. He got to he a big child Of four or five, but he wasn't like other boys. He waE ,iuet and shy and always hung around his mother. So I deter mined to make a man of him. I began taking him with me when I went placeB where I could take him. "Ilo was not fond of-rldlng horeo back and his mother objected to mo taking him on before me when I rodo. I remember ffraTlast day particularly. My horse" "was young and skittish and Martha made a big fuss about my tak ing the boy and when we rode down the road she stood at tho gate, shading her oyes with her hand, and looking after us. "I never know Just what happened. The horse shied and plunged to one side-of tho road and I lost my hold on Uie boy. Tho horse's hoofs must have struck him. Anyway tho doctor said his skull was fractured, "I felt pretty had about it, too, and I didn't Hlce tho way Martha took It. ?ho didn't cry. Sho just looked terri bly, -calm and white. She didn't say anything until the day after the boy was burled. When I came homo at ipon there was a small trunk stand 'ng on tho front porch, tartha met no at the door. She had her cloak and bonnet on. "She held her head oreot aUd looked at mo. as I had never eeen her look before. "I am going1 home," she said. "I can not'IIvo with you any longer. You killed my son and I despise you." "That was the last I hoard of hdr until just last week, when I got word she was " "Lincoln! Lincoln!" The man rost hurriedly and took tho, bundles from tho rack overhead. "I am glad to havo met you," he said. The little woman did not notice the out-stretched hand, nor did she utter a. word until tho man was well out of the ear. Then. sTic Took a nearly folded hnndker-chlef from tho bosom of her dress and wiped here eyes, exclaiming aloud, with a strange Jumbling oX ideas, "The brute! Poor thing! And to think I wasted a whole chicken and those crullers on him."
