, After we was married aad wa got

where' the light stands, whenever 1
rounded It to make the harbor, there
waa Nance a warln' to ma. But on
Urn comln' In from a cruise when 1

to war ta me. My heart sank down
Into my boots, tor aba could V seen

WTU mam kmw an- own uiuujvi.
. Nance and I had been married Sv
i years Without gettbV a kid- It waa
the oaly disappointment we had.
Nance said and I knew that If aha
had a UtUe one to keep her company
whoa I was at saa aha wouldn't be so
lonsaom. But th kid dldnf come,
and wa b3ea to feel that wt waa
7 doomed to be one o' them couples that
go through Ufa ma kin' a baby oat of
a dog or a rat or soma other animal
..' Bat th day' I got back and Nance
. wasat at the door to ware to me 1
; wasat thin kin' about what 1 couldn't
' git. bat what I feared Td lost. Tba
snoment wo toached the dock I tamed
the ship over to the first mate and
i steered a direct coarse to my house.
Whea l got there 1 found the door
anlocheq. This reitevea ma some
what.' for 12 my wife had died "whileT
at sea the house would 'a' beea
. closed up. 1 want In. my heart beat
la with a hope V seein' Naac either
la tha Urla' room sewla' or In the
J kite hen or . somewhara Awrnstalrs.
But aha was aot there, and I made
' , a dash upstairs for her bedroom. The
door to that 1 found locked. I knock
ad. bat got no answer.' 1 could hear
voices burfde talkln' low. but nobody
said anything to me.' I hollered oat:
f "I want to know It my wife la dead
or alive H
."' Tbea a woman's voice, strange to
' ass. said: "fine's very morn aHve, but
. hasat beea well for a few days.
A She's an right She saw tha ship
coma to from her window."
'" "Watt, why tha dickens cant I some
aad give her a hog7"
' "It wouldn't do for you to come In
Just now. 1 cant explain, why. but
' wbea we're ready foe you well let
- yoa know."
TAH right rm wanted at tba ship.
Tn go there and coma back la a coo-
- pie a hoars."
As I was gota down Uw stslrs I
Ward the funniest sound comln' from
tba room t aver heard. At flmt It re
minded me of a distant f ok bom, so
' far away that a maa would have to
strain his ears to hear It Then I
thought It wasn't tUe a foghorn nei
ther. It was mora like soma one try
la to talk with a sore throat. I didn't
Uka the Idea leavtn' everything to
my mate oa Just gettln' Into port, so
I dldnt stop to make sny more In
quiries. I Just went on across the
point toward the dock.
fteaealn a high hit of land, I turned
to take a look at tha house I bsd left
kind a wonderln', and If I dldnt see
a maa comln' out o the front door
ITl be Jiggered? . What did it mean?
Hare was I kept out o my wife's bed
room snd a man la tha house. A hor
rible suspicion took possession of me.
But with a gasp I got back my confi
dence In Nance, snd then I remember
ed that the voice In the room with her
wss a woman's. Bo I Just went right
oa to the ship.
I found that she hod been docked
without sny accident, but there was
a tot of things to do that can only be
done by the master of s ship tbct's
Just come In from a cruise, and I didn't
git away from the ship till the day
was about over. Then 1 started bnr-k
home, beginnln' sgsln to wonder what
wss the mean In' of all the strange
things thst had happened. Homepln

sad they wss fix In' things op to break
It to me.
When I walked Into the house 1
heard some one In the kitchen snd.
join' there, ssw s young woman In s
striped dress cookln' a bird. Nance
wasn't the kind to spend money for
such dellcseies, and I marveled some
mora.
"Sea here." I said to the gal. "some
pin gone wrong since I been sway.
A trouble has come into this bouie,
and I want tn know right off what's
the matter."
By jlng. she burst out s-larflo'.
"I reckon you'll And It some trouble."
she said, "before you git through with
It Such happenln's slways turn s
house upside down. It's nev-r the
same place It was before. But wast
a minute till I put this bird on s tmr
and we'll go up t sirs."
Purty soon she started. I follerin.
Oa tha way I heerd thst hoarse talkln'
sound agln. The young woman asked
me to open tha door, she boldln' the
tray with both hands, and I saw Nance
lyin' In bed look In' pale, but ami I In'.
,' and a nine pound lump o flesh beside
her.
Then I understood tha bull scheme.
She bad planned a surprise for me. I

ARC YOU ENVIOUS?
"There Isn't a bsppy face there."
That Is what Miss 1-eorjora Broke w.
a society girl, ssys about tbe faces
she knows In tbe high society rircles
which you snd I know about only
through tbe Sunday newspaper fea
tores.
Miss Brokaw la not deceived.
She grew so tired of tba social life
of New Tork she went out to Mrs.
Belmont's farm, donned overalls, lived
tbe simple life and ssys she bss bsd
tbe only good summer, since she wss s
child. .
Thera'a Julia French.
Miss French Is heiress to a 1 good
share or tbe Vanderbllt fortune. A
few weeks sgo she shocked the "Pour"
rjnndred by her elopement and mar
riage to Jack Ueraghty. a chauffeur.
8be says of tbe millionaire circle:
"1 always bated thst society. The
people are todvapld for ma. Real men
ara a rarity among them. Tha women
ara superficial and heartless They
bareo't lima even, to be kind. ' ,
Another witness:
Mrs. On rude La n man, who was a
social leader la an eastern city, who la
cultured and traveled and counts her
wealth by millions.' ssys aba can And

Mrs. I-oul Bryao. wife of a Cblrsgn
millionaire. Is suing her husband for
divorce becanfle be does not give ber
money enough, whereas -she has re
ceived $40.xk a year pin money and
there are sixteen automobiles In tbe
garage at ber e trice.
Now "
Are yon who think yourself nnbappy
beraose you are poor really envious of
such people?
Not a bsppy face there.
Of course not. The choloa of these
people Is between Idleness snd dissipa
tion two roads both of which lesd to
satiety and world weariness.
Happiness Jles along the Una of pur
poseful , endeavor and sacrifice. It
comes Incidentally and may not be
directly wooed.

Whst. we wondor., would happen to
tht London ma anger nowadays who
should dsre to put on tbe stave snb
a version of s Rhskesptaresii tragedy
ss wss played In Ireland orer a hun
dred years sgo? Mrs. Enrte In her
book. "Memoirs and Memories," glvss
a Dublin playbill of 1703 which is well
worth qnotlng.
Tha play was the tragedy of 'Ham
let' originally, written and composed
by tha cslebrsted pan Ilayea of Lim
erick and Inserted In Shakespeare's
works.' The title role Is taken by a
gentleman "who between the acta will
perform several solos on tba patent
bagpipe which performs two tunes at

Licorice was once highly esteemed
