[ C o p y r i g h t , 1900, b y C . B . L e w i s .] Mr. G allup had finished I ll s supper, rem oved his eoat an d shoes aud sat dow n In th e rocking ch air to rend the copy of T he C hem ung C ounty G azette he had bro u g h t hom e from tho post- ofliee when Airs. G allup dropped down on th e lounge w ith a stgli and began: “ Sam uel, If you could sp are a dytn w om an th ree or fo u r m inlts of your tim e 1 should like to talk to you. I know you d o n 't like to be bothered w hen you ar« reiulln, and I w ouldn’t say a word If It w as only a bile on my leg or one of my hack uelu«, b u t ft's m ore serious tliuu th at, Sam uel—fu r m ore serious.” Mr. G allup stretch e d his legs o u t to th e ir fullest e x te n t and m ade his toes crack, b u t he never looked up from his paper. “ I d o n 't w a n t to give you no sudden shock,” continued Mrs. G allup as the te n rs began to stream down h er cheeks and her nose to tw itch, “b u t It's my d u ty to tell you, so you kin prepare yourself. Samuel, you’ll lie a widow before S aturday night! T onight Is T uesday night. B efore sundow n on S atu rd ay night Die funeral w ill be over, I'll be an angel, and you'll be free to go out som ew here every cveuln and play checkers. Do you h ear me, Sam ­ uel 7” Sir. G allup m ay o r m ay not have heard her, hut If lie did he paid not the slig h te st attention. “Yes; I’ve got uiy call to go,” she re­ sum ed as she wiped her eyes on her W ill I be changed In the tw inklln of a u eye and m ade as pu rty as th e resl e f ’em ?" , Som ething like a sm ile flitted over the face of Mr. G allup, hut It w as prob­ ably caused by th e article he w as read­ ing. “ And about th e music, Sam uel? I can ’t play on no harp w ithout lessons. I have never even seen a harp. W hen we w as first m arried. I used to play ou th e accordion fu r you, but It w as aw fu l poor plnylu, and you soon got sick of It. Is it goln to 1« expected th a t I kin fly lig h t up to heaven and begin playln on a harp the very first thing? I f It Is, then I dunno ns I w a n t to die. I never could a-bcar bavin folks laugh nt inc. And the 6lugln, Sam uel—th e siuglu! My voice Is crack­ ed, aud I slug through my nose, aud Is th a t goln to do up there? I s'pose I could w alk around w ith a robe on and talk an d visit, h u t I can’t sing nor play, and they needn’t expect It. Sam ­ uel, shall we talk nbout w hether you’d b e tte r ta k e a second w ife o r not? Som etim es I th in k you had, aud some­ tim es I th in k you hadn’t. W h at do you think?” Mr. G allup tu rn ed from the ham ­ mock article to oue on n atu ral gas In Ohio, aud he extended his legs again and prepared to digest It thoroughly. I t m ight have occurred to him th a t Mrs. G allup w as lu the room and th a t she or some one else wus talking to him, b u t he answ ered not. Ten m in­ utes lind gone by when he finished the article aud looked up nnd around as if he had suddenly m issed som ething. Mrs. G allup lay curled up on the lounge fa s t asleep, and in the cor­ ner of each eye still glistened a big tear. AI. Q uad .
