[~THE BEHER PART By VICTOR REDCLIFFE. “So you and Cora have decided to embark upon the sea of matrimony, Brill?” "I am happy and fortunate in saying •yes.’ ” “Cora is a fine girl,” declared Myron Blair. “I’d ought to know, for she is my sister-in-law. She will make you a good wife, only—one piece of advice, cut out the mother-in-law.” “I hardly understand you,” spoke Wallace Brill, with manifest resentment. “You will when you get farther along in your experience. See here, as relatives prospective by courtesy, I can be plain with you. If one principle was Instilled into my nature by prejudice and observation it was the | mother-in-law problem. When I married Bella Mayne I made up my mind I to run no risks of having a fussy, med-1 dlesome old lady on my hands. Os | course I said nothing to Bella. Os . course I treated Mis. Mayne with all due respect. Firmly, persistently, I though, I adopted a policy of proced-1 ure that set up the bars against any I motl|er-ln-law Invasion. I settled down ’ in a house at the farther end of the village on purpose, so Mrs. Mayne wouldn’t find It convenient to run In on us every day. When the two children came along I saw to it that they didn’t come under her rule and influence in any way. No, sir! I tell you, Brill, the man who wants a well-or-dered household must keep the mother-in-law at a distance. Hello! There’s a man I want to see on business,” and the voluble speaker darted off. Wallace was glad. In another moment he would have been unable to control his indigndtion. To him the ' mother of his bride expectant was nl- ] most a part of herself, and a person for whom he felt a dutiful and respectful consideration. Then, again, Wallace knew something of “the system” of Myron Blair and its results. It had not worked, except for the selfish benefit of shallow, self-opinionated Blair. As Wallace was well aware it had brought misery and unhappiness to others —victims who made no complaint, but silently experienced their wretchedness because they were of a noble, self-sacrificing nature. When Blair installed the daughter in a home two miles away, Mrs. Mayne experienced a loneliness that might have been easily avoided. When Blair jealously restricted the children to only occasional formal visits to their grandmother, it almost broke her heart. The absence of her mother at critical junctures in her life meant suffering and a broken constitution for Bella, and the boastful, Insensate Blair fancied that as a model disciplinarian he was a decided success. Wallace Brill had not known a mother’s care from early childhood. When he began to pay attention to Cora Mayne it seemed as though her mother came to fill a precious place In his life. Very careful was Mrs. Mayne to refrain from Intruding her personality or her views upon this new prospective son-in-law, but she bestowed many a grateful look upon him and her old, wearied heart warmed toward him, as he clearly showed that he not only desired, but cherished her Interest and counsel in the problems that confronted Cora and himself on the threshold of their matrimonial venture. Wallace was doing well in a business way. He had been thrifty and had accumulated sufficient to enable him to start out in life with a home of his own. When he first spoke to Cora of this it was In the presence of her mother. “Well, I settled about n lot today,” , he announced In his brisk, pleasant , way. "I say, mother, there’s one disappointment. I have tried to get as near ns possible to the old homestead here, but the only vacant lot that fitted to my money acquirements was two squares down the street.” “That—that is not far, is it, Wallace?” spoke the old lady. Her tones were tremulous. “If you will put on your spectacles, mother,” went on Wallace, “we’ll all draw up to the table and look over some plans for a new house I got from the architect today. “There,” as he settled her in the most comfortable chair and directly at his side, “with such counsellors as you precious two. I’ll warrant we’ll have a regular little palace.” With his pencil Wallace went over the plans —parlor, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, closets, and then he Indicated a special apartment. “rm throwing myself on that room.” emphasized Wallace with a token of rare pride In his tones. “Sunlight on three sides, ventilation perfect, convenient to all the other rooms in the house. What do you think of it, mother?” "Your den, I suppose?” said Mrs. Mayne. “Oh, no,” replied Wallace promptly. "That’s your room, mother.” "My room!” faltered the old lady, all a tremble. “All your own, and no one else’s,” declared Wallace. “How do you like it?’ Mrs. Mayne fixed her faded eyes upon the speaker with a devotion and gratitude that thrilled him mightily. Then upon his shoulder sank her silvered head. And then, her arm about him, joining in the grateful sobbing of that dear old soul, Clara. Mayne clasped both In her arms and Wallace Brill felt that life was indeed sweet. (Coovrliht. 1619. b» Wutern NewuuwM
