BT was all so absurdly trivial. In
fnct, she lind almost forgotten what
It was ubout.
They bad quarreled Iwforc, lota of
time, and over more serious matters,
but they linil always made It up ugalu
directly afterward until now.
Now she cume to think of It, It was
always she who had begun the quarrel
and lie who had begun tbo making up,
And quite right, too, she said to her
self. When be proposed to her be bad
told ber that bo worshiped her; tbat be
was ber slave till death; that for her
sako be was ready to go through tire
and water. She hud only to command,
and he would obey.
Very well, then; she lind taken hi in at
his word. Hhe had commanded nud he
had obeyed until uow.
Shu bad never asked hi in to go
through tire and water for her. No, she
was much too reasonable for that. She
had never demanded the InipoHBlble.
The things she had expected him to do
were all quite simple and easy.
"I wouldn't order George about quite
so much If I were you, Kate," her sister
bad said to her the other day.
"What do you moan?" she asked In
amazement. ,
"Well, I don't exactly know how to
explain It," said Km. "Yon know you're
quite a pleasant, easy-going sort of per
ron, generally speaking, but with
George you're a perfect tyrant. I some
times wonder why he puts up with
you."
"You don't understand," relumed
Kate, loftily. "When a man Is In love
with bis wife It Is the greatest pleasure
nud privilege In the world for blm to do
lier bidding."
"Even If It makes him look like a
fool?" asked Km, whereupon Kate pre
served a dignified silence.
Of course, Km hud never been mar
ried, never been engaged even, and
consequently knew nothing about tbo
feelings of people In love.
Yet, somehow, those words of Km's
rankled.
She thought of them now, as she stole
Into the garden, where George had
taken refuge after dinner.
She knew where she could And him.
He was sitting In his favorite pluce,
under the old apple tree at the back of
the lawn, unconscious of her presence,
Noiselessly she stole up behind him,
and stood watching him, us he moodily
puffed at bis pipe.
y- An April Shower ;
4 T
- f" "''
Inch gun ths Iowa scored 30 hits
A ladybird lind dropped from miik
overhanging bough, and was Crawling
slowly up bis back In the direction of
bis collar.
Had she really made George look like
a fool? And did he mind looking a fool
for her sake? Surely the Ideal, the
perfect husband should shrink from
nothing, not even ridicule. Incurred In
bis wife's service. And yet and yet
no man likes to be made to look like a
fool. It Isn't In human nature.
Thoughtfully she stared at the lady
bird, as It made Its slow, laborious Jour
ney across George's light coat.
After nil, perhaps, she hail exported
blm to do a little too much fetching
and carrying, nud nil that sort of thing.
Of course, man should watt on worn
an. That was perfectly right and
proper, but there nro limits to every
thing. Was George beginning to rccognl
this? Was that the reason why be bad
not liven as ready as usual to patch up
tbelr last little squabble?
Now she came, to think of It, she re
membered bow the squabble had origin
atetl.
She had commissioned blm to get a
certain back number of an Illustrated
paper that contained a portrait which
she had admired.
The otllces of the paper were In Fleet
street, and Georgo bad an oltlce In Hob
born, so that It would have liecn the
easiest thing In the world for hhn to get
that paper. Uut no, he had simply for
gotten all nbout It. lie bad bad a busy,
hnrnxKlug day, he said. He was awful
ly sorry, and he would be sure to re
member to-morrow.
Now, she had particularly wanted the
paper that very day, but what upset
tier most was not so much the want of
the paper, as the fart that ho should
huve forgotten to fulfill n wish of hers.
Ills business worries had, for the
time, obliterated the remembrance- of
her! The thought was unendurable.
Sho had told him so, and that Is how
the squabble bad begun.
The ladybird had by this time reached
the rim of George's coat collar.
Well, certainly he had Itocn looking
rather worried lately. Perhaps It was
a little unfair to expect him to devote
his entire thoughts to her mid and ber
wishes.
She began to remember a hundred
petty tyrannies which she had exercised
and to which he hud submitted pa
tiently. Ilarmlesn little tyrannies, most of
them but quite unnecessary, too tyr
annies she had practiced simply be
cause she loved to sec him nt her feet.
She remembered reading somewhere
once that the truo secret of married
happiness was the principle of "glvo
and take."
The woman, as well as tbo man, must
be prepared to give and take. Up to the
present bo had done all tbo giving, she
all the taking.
Uow blind, bow selfish sho had bccnl
Sho saw It all now.
Why, why should the man be always
on bis knees to the woman? Why
should she be the queen, and he tbo
slave? She had never questioned her
right until now, nud sho could find no
reasonable title to tbo claim.
Surely tbo woman who loves her bus
band should be as ready to servo as to
bo served. There could be no question
of commanding or obeying on cither
side.
The ladybird was bnlanclngjlsolf In
a reckless manner on tho edgo of
George's white collar. If be moved his
head over so slightly, tho tiny thing
would Inevitably bo crushed,

seUed with a sudden' solicitude for tho
ladybird.
Stepping up behind George, she flick
ed It llghly nud dexterously from his
collnr.
Up felt the gentle touch and turned
his head lu surprise.
The next moment a pair of soft nrtns
were lluilg about bis neck, n hot cheek
laid caressingly against his own.
"George. I want to moke It up," sh
whispered, "nud and there's such a lot
I want to any to you."
When she had snld It, with her pretty
heid very close to his, he turned to her
with a glad smile.
"I'm the proudest, happiest man In
the world to-day," be said. "I didn't
realize until this moment what a sen
sible little woman I had married. Don't
think, deitreit," be added, hastily, "tbat
