Nell Walker had been courting mo
nuuio ume. uut no proposal came.
Ono duy ho told mo whero tho hitch
waa.
"Amiability," ho said. "Is indlspen
sable In a wife. Dow can I know be-
xoro marrlago that you aro amiable?"
"You show a great deal of good
aonno," I replied. "There is a great
deal In what you nny. Como and take
up your quarters with ub for a month.
There you will ueo mo every day and
often when I am off my guard. I
shall be compelled to show my natu-
rui umposujon.
"And an soon as tho month la over
wo will enter upon that other month
called tho honeymoon." ho cried enthu
siastically, and, throwing bla arma
around my neck, ho covered my face
with kisses.
Now, we women havo a way of do
ing things by strategy. I didn't feel
any more fear of betraying a disagree
able nature with Neil in tho house
than when bo came to call on me. I
knew well enough that matrimony Is
different from courtship and that when
two pcoplo settle down to work in dou
ble harness there ia going to be a
good deal of friction, for awhile, at
any rate. 1 thought it a Ono chance to
let Nell seo before marriage that these
frictions are not all the wife's fault
1 was especially equipped to do this,
for my little brother Jack was at
home, and 1 well knew that if Nell
could stand Jack's antics without los
ing his temper ho would bo quite able
to stagger under my most glaring
faults. '
Nell camo and settled himself for
the trlal-my trial. Ho hadn't said
anything about being tried himself.
and I didn't tell him that be was to
be under observation. Nell went to
business in tho morning, returning
about 6 In tho afternoon. Jack took
him in charge aa soon aa be arrived.
Nell tried to get rid of him, but Jack
stuck like a leech. Nell would bo read
ing poetry to me in tho garden. Jack
would come up behind him and with a
stick and a horse's hair and a tiny ball
of paper would make him think that
a bumblebeo was lighting on bis nose.
Jack sneaked into Neil's room and
filled bis underclothing (on the insldei
with burs. Nell got the clothing on,
then bad to take it off again and was
half an hour picking out the burs.
Ho was late to business that day and
came home In a very bad humor.
By such Innocent Juvenile expres
sions of a child's nature did Jack In
gratiate himself into Nell's disfavor.
Nell remarked that the boy bad been
very badly brought up. whereupon I
simply said that it was evident he
didn't like children. To me these little
pranks were delightful. Nell said that.
tho boy being my brother, 1 was doubt
less used to him.
Jack during this preparation for a
honeymoon found a boy he would
rather play with than annoy Nell. So
I was obliged to bribe my brother with
candy every day and tho promise of a
football at tho end of the season to
keep him at home during this test of
my disposition. Besides, I was obliged
to conjure up methods for harassing
my lover and suggesting them to the
dear boy. When Nell was snoozing
Jack poured sand in his ear. Then
Jack would steal up behind Nell and
alip a small piece of ice down his
back under his clothing. And one day
when Neil and 1 wero walking over
tho lawn together Jack, who was
watering the grass with the hose,
turned It on my companion and
drenched him.
This was the climax of a long term
of annoyances, and Nell could not have
kept his equanimity any longer unless
he had been descended from the
ancels. He broke loose In a profusion
of Bible quotations In which the word
"damnation" occurred oftenest. Then
ho ran after Jack, vowing that be
would knock every bit of spirit out of
bis villainous little body.
"Mr. Walker," 1 exclaimed severely,
"how can you speak so of tho dear
child 1"
"Child!" be cried. 'Hellion, ratherl
"Mr. Walker.'" 1 continued in a dig
nified tone, "1 am disappointed. 1 sup
Dosed that your disposition was ns
gentle as a lamb's. 1 Ond tbut you aro
easily angered and when angered not
only flerco, but vindictive. How fortu
nate that 1 should bave aiscovereu iuo
true acerbity of your makeup! our
engagement is at an end. Hud 1 mar
ried a man with such a temper I
should bavo looked forward to the
rest of my life with horror."
These last words were tne snrao as
he bad used to me, but ho didn't re
member them.
"And bod I marrlPd you." ue re
torted, forgetting himself In a new
burst of anger, "one in whoso veins
flows tho blood of that Uttie viper, 1
would"-
I walked straight into tho honso ana
ahut tho door after me.
Whero he stayed that nignt i amu i
know, but tho next morning he camo
to me and on bended knee begged me to
forglvo hlra. I asked him if he wished
to test my disposition any further, and
he Bald he was quite satisuea wim u-
Then 1 forgave blm.
1 do think men are tho stupiaesi
creatures In tho world. And yet they
hinir themselves superior to women.
They havo bo many theories about
them for our guiuanco. aiv u,-
nd arrogate to themselves, out mey
all know tho cracK oi a wuujuu
