Heroic Treatment By F. TOWNSEND SMITH My friend Rogers was f rty years old and a bachelor. He bad no taste for society, and his life was solitary iu the extreme I had been to his room occasionally, aud bls landlady knew uiy name. One day Rogers hod worked himself up to such a condition that she feared be was going to commit suit ide. They hunted my name in the telephone reg ister aud called me up to say that she wished I Would come round and take ctrtlgge of him I went to -his foom and found him walk! ig tin- floor! w-lth u desperate look iu his eye. 1 took him out with me for oinner, after which w-e went to the the; ter, and he spent the night in my too is. Before going to bed I said to him ••Rogers the thing for you to do is to get married ’’ “Who would marry me?" •‘I know several young women who would be glad to get you I’ll introduce you to the one that I think would lie the most likely to suit you If you like.” "Anything to relieve me of myself.” The yoting person to whom I intro duced Rogers was twentv seven years old. Not having thus far fulfilled the condition for which she wag made a wife aud mother—she was beginning to get dissatisfied with hefs-lf and those about her. I told her of Rogers' ease, and she confessed that it was much like her own. She, toe said “any thing but the life of an old maid.” It was understood when I brought them together that it was for the purpose of matrimony, and they didn't pretend to what they did not feel—that they were in that delirium commonly called love They made short work of the preliminaries and, being very much pleased with each other, became engaged and were married. I think their honeymoon was as happy as it is with married couples usually. Both seemed to hare taken laughing gas. There was no attention too great or too trivial for Rogers to pay his wife, and she seemed disposed to suffer any inconvenience rather than put him to the slightest discomfort I called ott them soon after their marriage Then I did not see them again for six months. I met Rogers aud. grasping him by the hand, said: “How arc you, old man? How goes married life?” “Oh, married life is well enough, I Suppose!” "Well enough? Why. I thought at first you considered it delightful.” “That was in the beginning, when we hadn't really settled down to the business of married life. I fiud double harness pretty hard to work in some | times." •‘Have any company?” "All we want.” ‘‘Well, I’m coming round to see you pretty soon.” When I called Rogers had been de tallied at. business, and I was entertained by his wife. Being an old friend of mine, I did not hesUate to ask her how married life suited her. “Oh, I don’t suppose,” she said, “that Ed is shy harder to live with than most men”' "He isn't somber, is lie?” “Oh, no; he is cheerful enough, but I surprise him every now ami then by not being what he has always sup liosed a woman to be ami if all men are what be is sometimes they must 'be”— While we were talking in came Ed. He saw by bis wife's expression that she had been |>otiring her troubles into my ear, and he didn't like it. He sat down with a very ugly look ou his face. “Well,” be said to me, “I suppose she’s been making me out a pretty hurt! nut.” “Bee here,” I said, flaring up, "I did the best I eould for you two In bring ing you together. If you waut to quarrel I would prefer that you leave me out.” "Who's drawing you in?” asked the husband, with a snarl. "He's drawn himself in,” snapped the wife. "He tried to pump you when he met you the other day, then • <•81110 around here to pump me.” "rump you! What Interest have I j in whether yon got on or don’t get on , together? 1 bld you lioth good even ing.” I seized my hat aud got out of the house as quickly as -1 could, followed by more caustic remarks from both of them and making tv myself more caustic remarks still. "What, a fool I was to try to do anything with a bachelor and an incipient oh! inaid! One might as well try to make a crooked tree grow straight Catch me trying to help any one that way again.” When We do a kindness we don't.! know whether It will turn out such or an Injury. I thought I knew that in this case I had done the latter. But I was mistaken. The two needed heroic measures to bring them together and ■ heroic measures to get them fused After the heyday of wedlock had pass od they needed a blowpipe I was that! blowpipe. When they both turned and , fbuglit me they found a common vent for their Irritation, and its flow upon . each other was directed in another .cjitiwi. v MT, \ '■■■- ■< : Tingm* caimi \i‘> -see inc apel<n;izert W hlbiself and Uns wife amt begged ’me fo’iiftto MthMiAnihbe next Sun i day. .went and We have been excel lent Wends ever'sinec. ’'A haby tbok up the case where I left U. ...
