Henry let the magazine he had been
reading slip to the floor as he reached
for his tobacco to fill his pipe. Then
be glanced at the clock and put his
pouch back iu his pocket, unopened.
Stretching bis arms above his head, he
yawned.
"Gosh, Jenny, guess I'll turn In. I've
had sort of a hard day at the shop, nnd
It's later tlinn I thought. You mind?"
His wife, over her basket of nii'tid
Ing, shook an Indifferent head. "Night,
Henry. Don't forget to wind the clock
and set the alarm. I'll finish here and
then read a spell to rest me."
Silence settled on the Crainpton
household a silence that lasted long
after Jenny had placed a skillful patch
on a worn tablecloth, had darned sev
eral pairs of Henry's socks, and had
read her spell In Henry's discarded
magazine.
For as she picked up the book
where It lay open on the floor beside
her husband's chnlr, a glaring title
caught her eje: "Have you kept your
husband's love?" Powerfully as a
spoken accusation, it rlvetted and chal
lenged her attention, and she read
the Indictment which followed with n
breathless fascination. Then, when she
hud finished the article she laid It
down with a deeply Indrawn slgl.
Why, that writer had drawn Henry
nnd her I For wasn't Henry getting un
romantically on In years, and wasn't
she middle-aged and run-down-nt-hcel
and unattractive? And hadn't Henry
long ago gotten over showing any of
those Intimate little signs of affection
which women prize? The occasional
tender word the kiss at the door be
fore going nwny In the morning the
comradely pat on the shoulder now
and again?
And there was aa warning tucked on
nt the end of the article. "Be care
ful," It rend, "that your husband. In
a sort of second youth, doesn't look
for his happiness elsewhere. If he
shows signs of sprucing up himself.
I unmindful of your appearance, be
ware 1"
Absent-mindedly she followed In
Henry's footsteps, mnklng sure that
doors were locked nnjl bolted. Then she
climbed the stair and crept Into bed.
only to lie there for many wakeful,
planning hours.
The next day she experienced a
sharp and sudden pang when nenry
left the house without even saying
good-by.
Lnte that afternoon, bundle-laden,
weary, yet withal exhilarated, Jenny
returned from the city. Her feet
dragged u bit, but in her eyes wns the
light of was It buttle or merely fem
inine anticipation? Shut In her bed
room, she unwrapped her purchases
and spread them upon the bed. Then
she did vnrlous things to her hair.
dabbed a hit of powder on her nose,
put a polish on finger nails that had
been recently manicured, and, flnnll.v.
she arrayed herself from head to foot
In nttlre that was brand new, rather
expensive, nnd extremely up-to-date.
As she waited for her husband on
tho little porch the minutes passed
slowly. One suburban car after an
other stopped nt tho corner arid dis
gorged Its passengers. Still no Henry,

nervously. This was even later thnn
usual. Why why that man In gray

path I Why, it was Henry 1
Yeg, It was Henry In a new gray
suit, new hat, new shoes. And even a
new lift to his walk, a new set to bis
shoulders. Jnunty, almost. Yet his ex
pression was that of a man who hai

set badly with hU air of rejuvena
tion. Suddenly that expression changed.
Amazement, bewilderment, Incredulity
chased one another across his counte
nance. Jenny felt Impelled to explana
tion. Then she would demand the
Fame from him.
"I I read on article," the said. Just
n bit defiantly, "about keeping your
looks to prolong your husband's love.
But you, oh, Henry, what made you?"
Henry drew her gently into the hall
within, hla arm exerting a tender pres

read that same article, and decided
that 'what's sauce for the goose,' you
know, 'la sauce for the gander V"
"Henry I" Jenny's voice fairly sang
the word. "Wasn't It odd that' we

"It sure was," interrupted het hus
band, hastily. "It sure was."
But considering that Henry had
taken patns to droj bis magazine open
at that particular spot, perhaps It was
n't so very odd, after all!
