'' "I wouldn't have a man." declared Mrs. Cassldy, "that didn't beat me up at least once a week. - Shows he thinks something of you. Say, but that last dose Jack gave me wasn't no homeo pathic one! I can see stars yet. But he'U be the sweetest man In town for the rest of the week to make up for It This eye is good for theater tickets apd a silk shirt waist at the very least" "I should hope," said Mrs. Fink, as suming complacency,' "that Mr. Fink Is too much 'of a gentleman ever to raise his hand against me." : "Oh. go on, Maggie!" said Mrs. Cas sldy, laughing and applying witch. hazel. "You're only jealous, xour oia man Is too trapped and slow to ever give you a punch.- He Just sits down and practices physical culture with a newspaper when he comes home. Now, ain't that the truth?" "Mr. Fink certainly peruses of ths papers when he comes home," acknowl edged Mrs. Fink, with a toss of her head, "but be certainly don't ever make no Steve O'Donoell out of me Just to amuse blmself-tbat's a sura thing." - ' Mrs. Cassldy laughed the contented laugh of the guarded and happy ma tron. With the air of Cornelia exhib iting her jewels she drew down tha collar of her kimono and revealed an other treasured bruise, maroon color ed, edged with olive and orange, a bruise now nearly well, but still to memory dear. Mrs. Fink capitulated. The formal light in her eye softened to envious .admiration. She and Mrs. Cassldy had been chums In the downtown paper box factory before they had married, one year before. Now she and her man occupied the Sat above Mame and her man. - Therefore she could not put on airs with Maine. "Don't It hurt when be soaks you?" asked Mrs. Fink curiously. . "Hurt!" Mrs. Cassldy gave a so prano scream of delight "Well, say, did you ever have a brick bouse fall on you? Well, that's Just the way it feels Just like when they re digging you out of the ruina. Jack's got a loft that spells two matinees and a new pair of Oxfords and his right! Well, It takes a trip to Coney and six pairs of openwork, silk lisle threads to make that good." i "But what does he beat you for?" Inquired Mrs. Fink, with wide open eyes. "Silly I" Bald Mrs. Cassldy indulgent ly. ."Why, because he's full. It's gen erally on Saturday nights." - I "But whaf cause do you give himr persisted the seeker after knowledge. "Why., Uldn t , I marry turn? Jack comes in tanked up, and I'm here, ain't I? Who else has be got a right to beat? I'd Just like to catch him once beating anybody else! . Sometimes It's because supper ain't ready, and some times it's because It is. Jack ain't particular about causes. He Just lushes till be remembers he's married, and then he makes for home and does me up. Saturday nights I just move the furniture with sharp corners out of the way. so I won't cut my head when be gets bis work la.' He's got a left swing that Jars you. ' Sometimes I take the count in the first round, but when I feel like having a good time during the week or want some new rags I come up again for more pun ishment " That's what I done last night. Jack knowa I've been wanting a black silk waist for a month, and I didn't think Just one black eye would bring It Tell you what Mag. I'll bet you the ice cream he brlnga It to night" ' . ' Mrs. Fink was thinking deeply. "My Mart," she said, ."never hit me a Jlck in his life. It's Just like yon Bald. Mame; he comet In grouchy and ain't got a word to lay. lie never ,akea me out anywhere. He's a chair farmer at home for fair. He buya me things, but be looks so glum about It taat I never appreciate eny Mrs. Cassldy slipped an arm around ier chum. ' ; "You poor-thing!" she said. ''But ev erybody can't have a husband like Jack. Marriage wouldn't be no failure If they was all like blm. These dis contented wives you hear about what they need Is a Pian to come home and kick their slats in once a ween ana then make It op in kisses and chocolate creams. That'd give 'ero aome interest In life. Whaf 1 want Is a caasterfol man that alugs you when he's Jagged and bugs you when be ain't Jagged. Preserve me' from the man that ain't got the sand to do neither!" Mrs. Fink sighed, - : , The hallways were suddenly Oiled with sound. The door flew open at the kick of Mr. CasHidy. Ills anna were occupied with bundles. Mame flew and bung about his neck. . Her sound eye sparkled with the love light that shines In the eye 6f the Maori maid when she recovers consriousnem in the hut of the wooer who baa stunned and dragged her there. 'Rpl!o. old girl r shouted Mr. Cas stdv He sbed his bundles and lifted tier otr her feet In a mighty hug. "I got tickets 1 pr Barnum & Bailey's, rfnd if you'll bus t the string of one of them bundles I guess you'll find that silk waist Whyy. good evening, Mrs. Fink! I didn't see yu at first How's old Mart corning along?" "He's very well. Mr. Cassldy, thanks," said Mrs. Fink. "I must be going along up now. Mart 'U be home for supper soon. Til bring you down that pattern you granted tomorrow. Mame." Mrs. Fink went up to her flat and had a little cry. It was a meaningless cry. the kind of cry that only a woman knows about a cry from no particular cause, altogether an absurd cry the most transient and the most hopeless cry In the repertory of grief. Why had Martin never thrashed her? He was as big and strong- as Jack Cassldy. Did be not care for her at all? He never quarreled.- He came home and lounged about, silent, glum, idle. ; He was a fairly good provider, but he ig nored the spices of life. - ' Mrs. Fink's ship of dreams was be calmed. Her captain ranged between plum duff and his hammock. If only he would shiver his timbers or stamp his footi on the quarter deck now and then! And she had thought to sail so merrily, touching at ports In the De lectable Isles! Bnt now, to vary the figure, she was ready to throw up the eponge. tired out without a scratch to show for all those tame rounds with her sparring partner. For one moment she almost hated Mame Mame. with her cuts and bruises, her salve of presents and kisses, her stormy voy age with her fighting, brutal, loving mate, " .i . ' ' Mr. Fink came home at 7. He was permeated with the curse of domes ticity. Beyond the portals of his cosy home he cared not to roam, to roam, He was the man who had caught the street car. the anaconda that had swal lowed its prey, the tree that lay as it had fallen. i ' ' i- "Llke the supper, Mart?" asked Mrs. Fink, who had striven over It. "M-m-m-yep." grunted Mr. Flnk. After supper he gathered his newspa pers to read. He sat in his stockinged feet. Arise, some new Dante, and sing me the befitting corner of perdition for the man who sltteth In the house In his stockinged feet! Sisters of patience who by reason of ties or duty have endured it in silk, yarn, cotton, lisle thread or woolen does not the new canto belong? The next day was Labor day. , The occupations of Mr. Cassldy and Mr. Fink ceased for one passage of the sun. Labor, triumphant, would parade and otherwise disport Itself. Mrs. Fink took Mrs. Cassldy's pat tern down early. Mame bad on her new silk waist Even her damaged eye managed to emit a holiday gleam. Jack was fruitfully penitent, and there was a hilarious scheme for the day afoot with parks and picnics , and Pllsener in It A rising. Indignant Jealousy seized Mrs. Fink as she returned to her flat above. Ob, happy Mame, with ber bruises and ber quick following balm I But was Mame to have a monopoly of happiness? Surely Martin Fink was as. good a man as Jack Cassldy. Was his wife to go always unbelabored and uncaressed? A sudden, brilliant breath less idea came to Mrs. Fink. . She would show Mame that there were husbands as able to use their fists and perhaps to be as tender afterward as any Jack. The holiday promised to be a nominal one with the Finks.

Jealousy surged high tn Mrs. Fink's heart, and higher still surged an auda cious resolve. If her man would not strike her If he would not so far prove bis manhood, his prerogative and his (liferent in conjugal affairs, he must be pror'ted to bis duty.
