So he tteycd at home quietly, and irr w a little gtaynn ami a little older every day. So he had stayed at home Sunday after Sunday. He was always tired; it was a pocii noujrh excuse. Martha gave up urging him after aw !ii!e. The aaXl morning Martha walked down-towji with Horatio, through Jermyn atreet It was a beautiful la . Dowa the street a little way progre was temporarily blocked, and Horatio and Martha came t a standtili. A heavy dray wa being backed across the si'h walk. They were abreast of a splendid alata glaaa ehonT"wrlnden and Martha turnetl to it for entertainment. What woman wa- eer at loss for amuse ment with a show-window at her elbOW?

Martha tHM driven tack to the vjndow in i,elt-ile!en -e and it wa.s this time that she saw the eoat that re minded her A little thrill ran over her, for it was the exact shade the soft, deep gray of that other coat. It was not distiugtttshably different, either, in style queer thai II year.should make so little change: Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby overcoat. The pitiless attn gae it no Quarter. She saw all if fadednc.-ia aud meanness and the listU-s-. oe jected sag of it. It gave her a start of aurprise that she had not noticed it oofore. She scarcely ever noticed Horatio's clothes.

Martha woke i the trill of La lei carols uniaide her window. A myriad f little birds seemed vy ing with annh other t elehrate 11 -rising. The jubilant cboru tilled sll the air. I'm thankful it's pleasant," thought Martha. "1 want it to be pleasai:'. to-day." She went about her n.orning duties with a light heart. At breakfast she chattered lik- a girl. "Horatio, vou're going to church with BM to-lav I thought you might Ilka ti know '." ' ..i. no, Martha," he said, hastily; "1 guess I wou't go to-day not toda ." "I said you were going"' she laughed. "Didu't you promise to 'love, honor and obey' 15 years ago? I'm through marching off to church alone every Sunday morni.ig." "But I'm tired. Marthu. I'm going to stay at home and get rested up for to-morrow." "Yes. I know I guess I'm always tired, Martha." "Then you must go to church and rest. H uatio Whitney, do you know how long ago it was that you wnt to church with me?" "No, I don't. Don't reckon, Martha." "Well. I won't if you'll turn over a new leaf to-day. I've set my heart en your going to meeting with me, dear." He flushed painfully. Martha was making it very hard. If she hadn't said "dear!" "Hut I I can't, Martha. I'd like to if I could." "Say: 'But I can, dear say it, Horatio!" She was round on his side of the taole, with her hand on his . , i arm. t ome upstairs ami gei reuuy. We don't want to be late on Easter I've got your things all out on the bed." "I I haven't any things. Martha You mustn't ask roe I can't go." "Well, I've got my things all out on the bed, then.

Don't vou like my Eastr bonnet, dear? 1 like it better than any I ever had before, all the Easters of my life. Now I will try it oa and let you see I how becoming it is. She set the soft gray felt hat on hi- head and whirlrd him round to the mirror. Then ahe threw the handsome gray overcoat acro.-s his bowlders and laid the gloves against hi sleeve. S. e how they match!" she cried. nd they all match you. You great -tiipi: boy, to stand there a- if you didn't rcogtiue yourself '." "I don't." he gasped. Suddenly he faced about.
