respond to hers as quickly und as warmly
as of yore. 13ut ever all this hidden
loyalty there has grown an ugly crust of
selfishness that transforms his line fuco
in her eyes und makes his presence , llttlo
less tlinn a torment to hor. Though she
tries , nothing that she can do seems to
please him. She has had llttlo experi
ence to bo buro very little. The eldest
daughter of wealthy , indulgent parents ,
who thought that to give her mental
culture were enough who looked not to
the woman's life ns wife and mother that
she must afterward lend , but to the brll-
linnt social position In which they placed

"Glad you think HO , mother , and it's a
real trout to son you. Leslie , ain't din
ner ready , yet ? "
"Y yes , Leonard that Is nearly. "
The hesitating , half-frightened voice
of the young wife catches the mother-in-
law's ' ear. It tolls her a story that she
grieves td hear a story that she feared
to hear from the very beginning ; but a
story of the truth of which , neverthe
less , she has traveled many miles to
learn.
"Dinner is ready , Leonard. Como ,
mother. "
"At hist ? Well , I am glad to hear it.
Sit hero , mother ; and if you can find
anything lit to eat I shall bo delightfully
surprised. Leslie's no cook , you know. '
"So 1 preeelvo"says Mrs. Van Hamm ,
the elder.
"Leslie , are you never going to learn
that I llko my steak well done ? ' Just
look at that mother It's absolutely
sickening , "
"I. thought you seemed in a hurry ,
Leonard , and so HO "
"So you gave us a little suggestion of
a butcher's shop , did you ? Pah ! "
"I will cook it a little longer If you
like , Leonard "
"Do , if you expect mo to cut it. "
' Yes , L'cslic , " adds Leonard's mother ,
"and 1 mvholf couldn't touch the stulT ,
really , while it is in that state. For
goodness sake cook It until It Is dune
next time ! "

wife goes hurriedly kltehcnward with
the beefsteak , For Leonard to taunt
her him ever boon bad enough ; but for
his mother , whom she hardly know , to
PO openly , so impolitely chide her
Heaven pity her if horror wore to bo

' 'Much to be thankful for , did you say ,
mothorV she heard her husband say as
the meal his.sod once more above the

to discover. How in this world a woman

"Sho can't know everything , Lon.
And 1 suppose her folks thought music ,
dancing and literary accomplishments
would stand her in good btead , " answers
her husbund's mother.
" 'Music , dancing , literary accomplish
ments' fiddlesticks ! Is music going to
make a plo ? Is dancing going to cook a
roast ? " This she hears through the
hissing of angry juices as they fall upon
the now dying embers.
Dancing ! How with his arm about
her with the sobbing sound of the
dreamy waltz-music wrapping thorn in
its melodious , impalpable folds , ho hnd ,
time and again , breathed into her happy
ear , "Oh , Leslie , my love , my darling ,
to go through lifo with you thus would
be heaven ! "
"And I can never express my wishes
never wiy a simple word but. she weeps
it's exasperating ! If ever hullo !
There you arc it's done this time , I
hope ! "
"Give mo just a very small piece ,
Leonard. Meat's never worth u pica
yune if it's done over thanks ! "
"You're right , mother ; but what's
the matter ? "
"Tliia apple-sauce. Did you forgot the
sugar , Leslie ? "
"No , nether , I didn't forgot It ; but
Leonard says I waste fee much bugur

" 1 never said to leave it so tart that it

I ? There's reason in everything , Mrs.
Van Ilnmin ! I'd thank you to pass

"No , thank you , Leslie , don't trouble
yourself. Unless the sugar is cooked In
with the sauce it never tastes right. "

portion dished up for Mrs. Van Hamm ,
senior.
"Got anything to drink , Leslie ? Ten ,
coffee , chocolate any tiling ? "
"Why , n-iio , Leonard , You said that
at dinner wo wcro never to have hot
drinks "
"When wo wore alone , I meant. Yes ,
I know I did , but mother's hero now a
fact that seems to have escaped you
and why upon earth you didn't think to
be a llttlo polite "ami niako her a cup of
tea passes my comprehension. You al
ways drink a cup of tea nt dinner ,
mother , don't you ? "
" I never enjoy a meal without it. No.
thank you no pie. I never eat a plo 1
don't ' make myself. Leonard , do you re
member the mince pie I used to niako
for you to take to school ? "
"Itomomber them ? Well , I siould ]
bay go ! Those wore pies ! Not watery ,
soggy articles biich as these. Do you
think , mother , do you honestly think
you could teach Leslie how you immu-
fucturo such delectable viands ? "
"Well , my son. it depends. You see
Leslie's bringing up was so different
from mine. Her scales wore on the
piano inlno on lish ; and the quill she
used to write with would never touch
her to cook the goose it came from. But
I'll try I'll ' try. '
"There's your chance , Leslie , poixo it !
And may I never have to swallow such
diabolical mouses as I have swallowed
since Bridget "
A choking noise stops his utterance
and puts a sudden end to his mealy har
angue , while the llight of his wife from
the dining room is enough to arro&t his
solllsh train of thought. Has she gone
mud ? Or what upon earth can the fool
ish woman mean ? Can't faho allow a
fellow to talk simply talk !
"Well , good-bye , mother , I'm off.
You'll ' soon see how much I have to bo
thankful for ha-hu ! "
"Good-byo , Leonard , my son. "
'See you ugain at supper. Tell Leslie ,

daughter-in-law , who is crouched in ono
corner of the llttlo sofa.

"Yos , I nm. And so will you bo , too ,
my dear ! It's iust as I feared lie's his

"Who's father ever again ? " weeps tlio

"Ye yes , ma'am ! "
"Leslie , dear , that man worships you

watered by your tears , to so hedge him
in thnt ho has lost sight of the sunshine

"M-m-mothorl"
"Cry all the harder If you want to at

There there , don't ' look frightened !

"What do you mean , mother ? "
"It's a peurct , A sham battle would
deceive an onlooker ; but the shots fired ,
though they scorn disastrous , make no
wounds. I shall flro volley after volley

din of battle , watch for the rising of the
sun of peace that shall set only at the
ending of your own life's day ! "
At supper Leonard is not allowed the
usual luxury ot finding fault at his
pleasure ; his mother is ahead of him.
Does he but direct his attention this
way or that , everything his eye fulls
upon critically Is , by ills watchful
parent , hauled ever the coals from bis
cuits to canned fruit , from wafers to
jolly. The tea is too strong , the milk
too blue , the butter old.tho cuocso rank.
Even Iho creased tablecloth Is condemn
ed , the big napkins ridiculed , the very
arrangement ot the tea service cen
sured. Leslie's bringing up is again
laid upon thotapis , picked
relentlessly to pieces and fin
ished olT with vinegar sauce. Each
time Leonard opens his mouth , his
mother also opens hers , and her tongue ,
being u feminine one , wins every race ,
from starting point to finish , and the
son. at lust , perforce sits , for the first
tlmodurlng his short married lifo , with
nothing to do but to listen silently to
rhodomontndos that bid fair to throw
his most elaborate olTorts in the shade.
For a whole week this goes on the
fault finding , the bitter taunts , the rancorous
cereus gibingand by the week's end
Leonard 1ms verily come to find himself
an Othello with his occupation gone.
Ho oven begins to look curiously at Los-
He , who throws strange , inexplicable
glances towards his mother , but who
stands the belaboring so calmly and well
that ho grows to respect her courageous
dignity and wish that his mother ,
though cortalnlyin the iight ; , wouldn't
bo quite so hard on hor.
By the middle of next wo.ok ho has
grown absolutely restive , and looks at
his maternal relative with eyes in which
insurrection booms ready to sot alight
the dangerous fires of rebellion. Les
lie poor , patient , gentle little Leslie
how can she stand it all so silently ? Ho
has boon a bit harsh nnd fault-finding
himself of late but never so malicious ,
malevolent or vindictive as is his
mother I Positively ho is ashamed
of her ill-treatment of his Wife
Ids poor Losllo ! How can his
mother expects so muoh of her ? What
if she wore brought up differently from
other common mortals cooks , seam
stresses and the like ? She , his wife ,
could write poems tender bits of verso
that touched one's finer sensibilities and
play with the technique of a master !
That is , at least , she could , once : now ,
how could wo expect such things from
the drudge his own mother seemed to
expect her to become ? What did his
mother know , anyhow his mother that
was brought up on u farm and wont ro
school in u log school-house of things
occult , mysterious and soul-inspiring ,
or of the brain and world from which
his Leslie came ? Did she expect that
ho would bo sutlsfiod to see his wife turn
herself into a slave without ono thought
above the pantry ? By heaven , there
should bo an end to all this and at
once !
"This Is about the dozenth time I've
warned you , LoslloV hears Leonard as
ho comes down to breakfast next morn
ing , "to make ono loaf of bread last
three meals ; it's pure extravagance ,
wastefulness , that will como to want on
your part. I'll admit that baker's bread
is no good any way you put it , and you
are just paying out good hard cash for
tasteless dough nnd air-holes ; but as
you don't Know enough to make bread
white people can eat I suppose you'll '
just go on until you land my son in a
poor houbu ! I'll ' never try to tench you
to make bread again not by a good
deal ! I'm annoyed to death by your
dullness ! If ever a woman was per
plexed , harassed , vexed nnd tormented ,
trying to teach her son's wife the first
meaning of the word economy , I'm ' that
woman. If ever "
"Mother ! "
"Good morning , Leonard. Don't interrupt

to try to teach Leslie hero , to manage

I'd not look at her twice ! What com

red-faced , loud-voiced creature to my
Leslie ? And , mother , though it may bo
all very well to harangue and goon at a
certain rule , It appears to mo that of
late you have been pitching it pretty
strong. It is true Leslie hasn't had the
same bert of education you have "
"Tho fiumo sort I have had ? hump ! I

"But with all that I don't see thnt It's
necessarily to her disadvantage "
"You don't ? Leslie , stop your bawlIng -
Ing ! If there's anything I-do hate to
see it's n irrown up woman bawl ! Leave
the room ! "
' "Mv wlfo , btay where you are ! "
Leslie , softly crying , touched by the
unwonted tomlorncus shown her by her
husband , stands looking with tear-
dimmed eyes from ono to the other of
her marital relatives. Leonard's eyes
blaze with defiant anger , while his
mother's glonm quizzically upon Ills
wratful countenance. Tlioro is a long
sllont'o between the three occupants of
the llttlo breakfast room , and at its end
the man slowly turns toward Ills now
hysterical wife , und , stooping , places u
kiss upon her tremulous lips. In an
other moment hem1 gone.

The hist Thui-bday ot November dawns
mistily and softlv..A hazy sun climbs
the gray ladder of dawn , and the whole
atmosphere is pervaded with savory
odors that hint of a coining foust. A
gigantic turkey is turning from gold to
richest prown In the Van Ilnmm oven.
Mother Van TTiunm , In white cup and
apron , is acting high priestess , ana Les
lie , soberly smiling , flies hither and
thither at every command. And when
the noon bells chime , and the noon
whistles blow , and a certain young man
comes hurriedly homo from his ollleo ,
whither ho lins gone for his mail an
hour since , ho finds the great fowl
promptly placed upon the table , the tiny
boll sot ringing its silvery summons to
dinner , and the ladles of his household
each standing behind her chair in the
dining-room.
"Why , Leslie , dear , how prompt you
are ! Bless mo , what u famous turkey
who cooked It ? "
"Both of us. My son. this is Thanks
giving ; have you any special thing to
give thanks for ? "
"I have , mother for my wife. Leslie ,
dear Leslie , I am more than satisfied
with you in every way ; more than thiink-
ful that you are my wife , oven though

"That she is the dearest , swoctcst ,
truest , loveliest , best llttlo wife in all

pln'y acting , my boy ; but you hud to bo
made to sco your own good fortune that
of unconsciously possessing an angel.
Yes , it is sll true , Leonard ; and now al

my son , and showed you at what a reckless -

A. Simple RcniRijy Which Is Said to 15c
UfTcotivc.
Several papors'of Paris have published
that LaugurdicYro of Toulouse hud ,
at different times , experimented with
success with a now treatment of sure ef
ficiency for the ( jure of that terrible dis
ease , the croup , buys the Purls Temps.
The now treatment consists in the use of
sulphur. Dr. Laugardiorro narrates thus
his first experiment :
"I culled for. some sulphur powder ;
took a tnblospoonful.of it which I diluted
In a glass of water , Ordering to drink
ono tablespoonful of the mixture every
hour , shaking it before using. Next day
lie child wa3 hotter. Now potion for
the next day. The. following day the
child wns cured. The only thing left
was n loose cough which I attributed to
the false membranes circulating in the
trachenl artery. Asking the parents to
save them for mo in case the child should
expectorate thorn , two days after a sud
den lit of coughing expelled them , and
three dried-up pieces the size of a largo
bean were brought to me. ' '
After that euro the doctor obtained
several others , but none more convinc
ing than the following :
"A little girl was dying ; neither cry
nor the least sound could como from her
larynx ; the pimples of diphtheria wore
on her oars , neck , head and cheeks ; her
wheezing breathing could bo heard at
twenty motors on" .
"Tho doctor hnd secured a tube to In-
sufliato nitrate of silver into the larynx.
The parents opposed that , but consented
to make the child swallow the sulphur
ated potion during the night.
"On the next day the child , which I
had considered as lost , wns resuscitated
the voice was restored , the potion was
continued during that day , and the next
tlio child was cured. "
The communication of Dr. Laugur-
diorro is of too much importance to not
bo the subject of a serious and immedi
ate examination , nnd it is for the acad
emy of modiclno to order such.
