MARTHA.
(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."
