A LESSON FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

Mrs. Osborne came into her sitting•eem with a frown on her face. The Htm was a pretty one, aud so was the fece, and the frown looked decidedly oat •f plaoe. But out of place or not, it was Ifeere, and there it meant to stay until its lair owner settled a question that was 4latnrbing her peace of mind. After one abort year of married life she was forced to the conclusion that husbands area different species from lovers, and the knowlege did not please her. On the contrary, it very much displeased her, as the frown and sparkling eyes bore mute testimony. An only child, idolised at tome, and a bell in society, she had grown up, kind-hearted and loving, proue to be a trifle Imperious and exacting, but with it all possessing a good abare of sound common sense. She did got imagine, when she married, that her Ife would tie a bed of roses. She had loved Neti Osborne dearly, but she had ao*. idealized him to the extent that girls ar* apt to do. She had imagined that each would discover failings in the other, bat she was not prepared for just the kind of failings she had discovered in him. They were of a kind that she found It hsrd to excuse.

She had been brought up in a home where the little courtesies of life were •ever omitted, and the contrast between a courteous, considerate father, and a seltlHb, discourteous husband had been forced upon her attention that morning —not for the lirst time—in a wsy that made her tingle with mortification. Before tiwlr marriage Ned Osborne had keen the most devoted of lovers. Her •lightest wish he fondly obeyed. She kad uot expected the husband to be as devoted as the lover, but she certainly kad expected Ned to carry a certain de-

8fe.

ree

love-making into their married Not only bad he failed in this, but ke had failed in the common civilities of dally life, and it touched her pride in a way that Ned would have found It hard to understand. It was the old story that wrecks many a woman's life. After the kotievmoon the husband unconsciously drifted back to the ways be had been used to in bis old home. He only treatad bis wife as he had treated his mother and sisters. Since Minnie had become Intimately acquainted with bis family, •he partly realised this. 8he was clearsighted enough to Me that his manner* were the natnral result of bis home training, but that did not make it easier to bear. Many women abare .•ilnnie's experience so far, and a greet many of toe in make np their minds that they eennot help matters, and so allow them•elves to drift helplessly along, tog hopeless liven and hope knsbauda, Mid being more II than they can imagine. But Minnie borne was made of sterner staff. She would not loee her husband without a struggle. Woman like, she did not dreaoso much the loss of his love, as she AM red to lose her love and respect for kim for it Is not enough for a woman to ke loved, she mast also love. Her Utile slippers beat a tattoo on the carpet, and ker eyes ahone ominously as she thought ever the scene at the breakfast table that morning. She bad made up her mind aa shed reesed for breakfast that it should aot be her fault if Ned failed in his attentions to her so she dressed herself with unusual care, and went down pre-

fasbandbe

ared to gay end entertaining if her gave ner the least chance. She •ertainly looked dainty and sweet enough to transform any husband into a lover. Her pale blue cashmere wrappar with trimmings of filmly lace, and foeebuds at her throat, was perfect, and eo was the pretty expressive faoe. When she entered Ned was already at the table, absorbed in the morning paper. As she seated beraelf by ike conee am, ah« waited a minute, bat still he did not speak. "Good morning, Ned," she said, with aa effort at her nsual tone.

A half grant and rastle of the paper was the only response. There warn Interesting news in the paper that mora-

ing, and Mr. Osborne divided his time between it and his breakfast—he had none to spare for bis wife. She realized, with a pang of mortification that if she wished any breakfast she would have to wait on herself or remind her husband of his remissness. 8tee had si ways dismissed the servant at meals, preferring to be undisturbed, and she was devoutly thankful now that no sharp-eyed hireling was there as spectator to the scene. 'Ned," she said, in her most silvery tones, "'don't you think yon could spare me a little steak?"

Ned np impatiently from his paper. "Don't bother me, Minnie. You are oertainly old enongh to wait on yourself."

Minnie's eyes flashed, and her lips closed firmly together. Not a word did she say, ana the meal was finished in absolute silence, save for the rastle of the newspaper and clatter of dishes. When it was over Ned rose, and with a careless glanoe at his wife, and a "111 be late this morning/' be was off. Minnie had been nsed to neglect before, bat to nothing so bad as this. It was the first time he bad left her without some slight oeremony of leave taking, though kisses he bad dispensed with some time before. As Minnie reviewed tbissceneand other episodes of the last few months, the lines In the white forehead grew deeper, and at last he wrath found words: "I won't stand it one minute longer," she exclaimed, while her soft lips settled into a resolute lino that promised well for Msster Ned's subjection. If he can be cured, I will cure him. and if I find bis case bopeles will go back to my father's for I never will livfe with a man I despise. I'm atrald my love won't stand the test of many more such months,as the last few have been."

Her mind made np, the frown cleared away, but the resolute look remained, and was there when Ned came home that evening. He always lunched down town—another thing that cost bis wife a pang—and after their late dinner was over, he generally proceeded to entertain himself, with a supreme disregard of the partner of bis bosom, that made that amiable partner feel anything but pjeasant. It was so this evening Ned stretched himself in the cosiest chair he could find, saying, quite as a matter of course, "Qet my dressing-gown and slippers, Minnie, and then I'll be comfortable."

The desired articles hung in a closet much nearer their owner than to any one else, but Minnie rose quietly and handed them to him. She waited a moment, and bearing nothing, said demurely, just as If he had thanked her: "You are welcome."

There was something In her tone that made him look at her curiously, but then he asked her to band him the papers, and soon he was oblivious to all the world. His enjoyment, however, was not long disturbed. He was interrupted by an imperious voice. "Ned, go into the next room and bring me my basket of zephyr I need a new shftddt"

He dropped his paper and looked at her. She went on serenely with her work, not seeming to notice his amazement. He picked up his paper again. "Are you getting too lazy to wait on yourself, Minnie?" ne inquired, sarcastically. "I'm surprised that you should interrupt my reading. You can't expect me to attend to such little matters. If you really don't feel like exerting yourself, call a servant."

And Ned went on with his reading, and his wife witn her fancy work—but with a little gleam In her eyes, not there 1^6for6i

Presently he wanted another paper. The rack was near him, but almost from force of habit, he asked bis wife to get it. He was met with a startling response. "I'm surprised at you, Ned. Are von getting too lazy to wait on yourself? I would suggest that as the rack Is nearer you than me, you get the paper yourself. If you dont feel equal to it, however, by all means call a servant."

I suppose Ned Osborne had never been more astonished in fill his selfish life. He gave her another long stare of utter amazement. Then he rallied to say freezingly: "I admire your politeness, Mrs. Osborne." "Thank you! As I am imitating my husband, the compliment is doubly pre clous," was the Berene reply.

The remainder of the evening passed in utter silence. Ned maintained a dignified though injured demeanor, and she smiled naughtily to herself. "Ah, Master Ned," she thinks, "you don't realize that this Is only the beginning."

He began to realize it the next morning. When Minnie came in to breakfast, he was seated, reading as usual. They took their places at the well-spread breakfast table, and Ned went on with his paper, helping himself abstractly to beefsteak and hot rolls, and leaving bis wife, as usual, to wait on herself. Presently he became conscious that something was wanting to complete his comfort. He looked at Minnie. She was nonchalantly reading a paper, ripping a fragrant cup of coffee, aud taking little bits of her roll between whiles. The coffee was the missing link. He frowned, and said crossly, "Do yon intend giving me any coffee this morning, Mrs. Osborne?"

Mrs. Osborne glanced up from her paper a moment. "Aa yon said to me about the steak yesterday morning, yoa are certainly old enough to wait on yourself without bothering me, I am very much interested In the news this morning."

And ehe went on with her paper, calmly ignoring the blank look that sether hi tied

over her husband'a face. Ned finished his breakfast without any coffee. He went to his business indignant. But it made him think, and his thoughts bore fruit. After two or three meals in which he went coflfeelees, he succumbed. He coald not go withoat his favorite beverage, he did not like the thought of pouring it oat himself, and finally he nad a lingering suspicion that his wife

One evening became borne with a box of fine cigars. He told Minnie that be wanted to smoke while be read his papers, end that it was only a whim of tiers that she didnt like tobacco smoke. "All the other fellows smoke at home," he said, as be lighted a cigar. "Yoa surely wont mind these they areas fragrant as orange blossom*. They have such a soothing effect on the nerves. It won't be more than a week before you will tease me to continue Smoking."

Minnie said nothing, bat she th agbt volumes. Ned smoked and read i« supreme content. He felt that he asserted his supremacy. He had always Intended to be master of his own bouse, and he was there could be no doubt about It. He pat away the papers in a abort time, and betran to chat pleasantly

was busy inventing a plan for Ned'a discomfiture. She spent the next day practicing a— to her—difficult accomplishment. It made her aick, but by night she had conquered.

When Ned lighted his cigar that even__ig, his wife produced a dainty case of cigarettes, lighted one, andj^ntting between her rosy lips, pn fled away aa calmly aa thougn it was an everyday occurrence.

Now if there waa one thing more than another that Ned Osborne hated, it waa to see a woman smoke. His wife had often heard his tirades againat the practice. He had often said that a woman must be fast and lond and altogether unlovable that wonld smoke. And now here was the wife of bis bosom, sitting in a free and easy fashion, with her ahair tilted bnck, and her feet on a stool, coolly reading a paper and pufflngaway as if she enjoyed every whiff, it was too much. "Mrs. Osborne." be began, sternly, "does this iftean that yon know how to smoke?"

Mrs. Osborne did not seem very much impressed. She smiled saucily. "It looks very much like It my dear." "Have yon been keeping the practice a secret from me?" "Not exactly, seeing that I only learned to-day. I thought it would be so nioe and ooey for ns to smoke together. On the same principle that two people eating onions can't smell each other's breath. I thongbt If we bo|$i smoked we would find each other's society so much pleasanter."

Ned gave her a searching look, but she was the picture of Innocence. "Are you trying to pretend that you don't know that the sight of woman —'-me?" smoking is infinitely disgusting to he queried, hotly. "Oh, yes, I knew it," she ansv answered-, sweetly! "just as you have known that theslgbt of a man smoking has always been in finitely disgusting to me. It has only been a whim witheacb of us, and we will soon get over it. I fear your cigar isn't having a soothing effect on your nerves this evening you appear somewhat ruffled. Won't yon try one of mine? They are delightful. It won't be a week before you will miss them so much that you will tease me to commence smoking."

The sarcasm was obvious, now. Ned fidgeted, frowned, and finally laughed. He rose and flung his cigar into the grate. "I give It up, you little witch. I can't stand it to see yon smoke, and if you'll promise to abstain, I will."

Minnie's cigarette case promptly followed his cigar. "I willingly promise, my dear husband, for to tell the truth, I'm not mush attached to the weed."

Her gay laugh had a touch of triumph in it, and Ned looked rather sheepish. He began to have that wondering respect for his wife that a man has for a woman when he begins to find that she is more clever than he had imagined. Success always ooihmands our respect, and he found she was very successful in checkmating him. Not content with minor vicorles. our plucky little general marshalled her forces for another attack. She would not rest satisfied until he made a final and complete surrender.

In common with a great many other wives, Minnie had to ask her husband for every cent of money that she received. She would not have minded this so much, if it had been cheerfully grant-, ed but Ned sometimes grumbled, and sometimes refused entirely. She knew that she was not extravagant. Ned's business was good, and he did not denv himself any little luxury that be craved. She had always wanted a settled allowance, but she could never bring her husband to consent to It.

One morning at the breakfast table she broached the subject of anew silk, that she wanted to wear at a laage party thev were invited to attend. As she bad xpected, Ned refused, eaylng that she had plenty of dresses good enough to wear. She quietly accepted his refusal, and by night she bad made up her mind what to do. If she had been tempted to waver in her determination, the next day would have decided it for a handsome suit was sent home to Ned from a fashionable tailor's, and the bill enclosed, with its various items, was a hundred dollars. As Minnie glanced it over, she smiled, a little bitterly, and then, donning her stylish walking suit, she went down town to do some shopping. She bad never gone in debt for even a spool of thread before, but Kendall & Brown were perfectly willing that she should buy tbelr entire stock, if she wanted It, for they knew that Ned was able to pay for It. But she contented herself with a handsome silk and trimmings, and also bought several yards of rare lace, of a pattern she had always coveted. Altogether her purchase amounted to two hundred dollars, and she went home leeling that she had done a pretty good morning's work. That evening Ned said to her in rather an apologetic tone. "i suppose you're vexed about that dress, JkUnnie, but really it seemed to me that you noula do without it as well as not. I never could imagine what yoa women do with so many new dresses. Yon most admit, my dear, that your sex is dreadfully extravagant." "Yes," said Minnie, demurely, "I admit it, of course. Bat yoa need net

My bill was only two hnndred

dollars, would yon like to eee it This last with a mocking smile. Ned made some remarks more forcible than elegant, to all of which Minnie listened with the utmost composure bat when he bad finished, she rose and aaid with decision: "If you know of any reason, Ned, why I shouldn't have anew dress as well as yoa anew salt, I should like to hear it. Yoa already have a doseo salts sa good as oew, and I'm rare the number of my presentable dresses falls far short of that. On one thing I am determined, if yoa wont give me any allowance, I shall ran bills at the stores. I have submitted for the last time to the humiliation of asking a husband for money to be refused," and with head meet and sparkling eves, Minnie left the room, leaving ber husband to some very uncomfortable refle*Aiona.

To give him hia das, be was not a bad fellow at all. He bad been spoiled before Minnie had the training of him. Hia mother bad thought men were ssperior being*, born to be waited on and looked up to hia sisters were of the same opinion aa a natural consequence be waa firmly of that belief himself. He bad dear ideas as to tbe duty of women to him, bat he didnt trouble hia head much aboat hia duty to them. Bat hia decided

after all. He thought over tbe matter for several days, and aa a result, he handed Minnie a handsome sum, and asked her if that would do for a monthly allowance. For answer, his wife threw ker arms around hia neck and kissed him. It waa a warm clinging kiss from a pair of very kissable lips, and it pleased Ned more than he would have thought possible. Kisses had grown rare between them. They did very well to win a wife with, bat once won, Ned supposed she oould be kept without any such little attentions. As time went on, Minnie grew almost dlscouraged. True, she had nothing to eomiuiiln of now In regard to money namn, and he was more courteous ana attentive than formerly, but still he failed to be what his wile wished—a lover. It waa not enough for her warm, lovi nature, that he abould like and reap her joist because she was his wife ana he knew he onght to ehe wanted him to loee ber, and to show it.

Ned began to find her an interesting study. He even caught himself smiling during business hours at some neat check-mate he had received. He found his wife very different from the dinging, docile girl b» imagined that he married but though more vexing, she was certainly more interesting. Under her tuition lie began to have a dawning suspicion that perhaps he bad been rather selfish, and when that idea begins to penetrate a man's mind, he is near a mlflennitun. But at present tbe thought was only in embryo, and it needed a sharp awakening to fully develop It.

He came home one hot summer day full of new plan. It was getting too hot to attend to business he needed some recreation. He told Minnie that he had promised to go with a Lshing party to spend a couple of months near Alton, quite a fashionable summer resort. A lot of the yonng fellows are going, and he antldpated a jolly time. "It just what I need, Minnie. 1 have been working too bard, and the city is no place to

in summer any way. Yon

mustn't get ^lonesome. It might be a good Idea for you to stay at your father's till I.comfl back. You can if you like."

Minnie listened and smiled a little bitter-sweet smile that always made him uncomfortable—but in the exdtement of getting off, be forgot all about it, and nothing disturbed bim for the next week. He fished and smoked and joked with the boys, enjoying his bachelor freedom exceedingly—but only for one short week. One nlgnt, about a week after our fishing party wassnuggly settled, there was a grand hop at tbe hotel in Alton. All of Ned's party went exoept himself, but'he staid at home, and devoted a few thoughts to his wife, and thought himself a very good fellow fordoing so. He went to bed early, and as the fellows camo home late, he did not hear the ball discussed till they met at breakfast. A1 Jordan set tbe ball rolling, with a qulzlcal look at Ned. "Old fellow, we saw some one you are slightly acquainted with, last night. She's the belle of tbe place. All the men are raving about ber wit, her beantv, and her style. You had better go down and improve yonr acquaintance."

Ned exhibited bat slight interest. "It's hardly worth while for an old married fellow like me," he answered, laughingly. "What's her name?"

A1 looked at the boys there was a smile on every face, as he answered, sol-

emnlTr

"Mrs. Minnie Osborne."

Ned jumped to his feet. "What!" he shoot ed. "Not my wife?" "Your wife just so. A jolly good time she seemed to be having, too. She asked after you and hoped you were enjoying your fishing."

Poor Neo! he certainly, bad enjoyed it amazingly for on,e short week, bat his wife's polite wish was doomed to be unfulfilled after that. The boys chaffed him unmercifully, for they could see what a surprise it was to him, and it pleased them vastly. He went to a charade party a night or two after this, especially to see his wife. He saw her, but it aid him but little good. She greeted him cordially, quite as if he was an old acquaintance, and then she dropped him. Mrs. Osborn seemed to be a general favorite, and was in great demand* She acted—and acted remarkbly well—In all the charades, and when she wasn't acting, her chair was surrounded by a group of men. To Ned, whom had always been used to having his wife all to himself, this was anything but pleasant. He chafed and fumed Inwardly, but try as he might, he couldn't speak to her alone. He noticed, with a jealous eye, that she was looking brilliantly. Sbe bad been a very pretty girl and now her husband noticed for the first time that sbe had developed Into an exceedingly handsome woman.

As he watched her, his thoughts were a curious mixture of pride and jealousy, mingled with a thrill of triumph that she was his after all. Taking It alto-

geing

ether, the charade party was far from a success, as far as Ned was concerned. He voted it a bore, and went home early to pais a miserable night.

He waa accompanied bv that worst of all company—jealousy. After ted All

fees that I' haven't a thought of going home for a month yet. But don't wait for me, if yon are anxious to return. You can stay at your mothers you know"—this last waa a naughty smile. "Do you woman never forget anything?" ber husband answered, angrily. "What If I did ask you to stay at your father's? It would have been a better thing for you to do than to oome bare and flirt. Do you euppoae I am going home and leave you nere to be talked about?" He stopped, for be saw be bad 'one a step too uar. Minnie confronted ilm with fiasiiing aye*. SZZ '•That will do Ned you have said quite enough. Tbe wont that can be said of me that I like to be admired, and that I accept the admiration of other men because my husband fails to see anything in me worthy of praise. You may call me a flirt if you like, but let me tell you this: no woman ever flirted that was happy in a husband'a love." And then she was gone, but her words remained and hanntefi him. He knew that what she had said waa true. Sbe waa a general favorite. Sbe was **y and entertertainlng, the best of good company, always but she never stopped over the line of good comradeahip, or allowed any one sue to do so.

But Ned was tormented by a thousand faodee,and among them all, tbe thought that be had lost his wife's love waa the most unbearable. He did not go home, aa aba had kindly •agisted but he staid on, growing more desperate every day.

No lover could have longed more ardently to tell his hopesand fears, and no maiden of sixteen, intent on evading the question, could have eluded bim more artfully than hia wife. But at last Fate favored him. While fishing one day, he met Minnie, looking like tite goddest of spring in her dainty dress, with her handa full of flovers. He came toward iMf 0ig0f]ya "Minnie," he began, abruptly, "how muck longer is this to laat?"

Hia wife smiled. "I believe you said you were to stay two months, and if you atill adhere to it, yonr fishing will last about anotuer week. I supposeyon will be tempted to stay longer, though, you are enjoying it so much. "No," he answered, impatiently "I am not enjoying anything. Why do you pretend to misunderstand me? Does it give you pleasure to see me miserable? if you knew bow unhappy I had been lately you would surely"—he hesitates. "Behave better," put in his wife, wickedly. "No, that wss not what I meant. Yoa behave better now than I deserve, Minnie dear. I haven't been a good husband to yon. I can see now tnat I have been selfish and unloving often but I want to ask you to forgive me, and to give me my old wife again. The new one is dever and fascinating, but the old one loved me. 'Can I bring her back?*'

Minnie looked at him earnestly. "Yes Ned," she said, and ber voice quivered, "the old wife loved you, bat she bad a nature that craved love in return. She was warm-hearted and sensitive, and longed with all a woman's heart for a husnand that was a lover. You failed to satisfy her. If she came back to you, could you satisfy her now?"

Yes, for I love her with all my heart and soul. Come, darling." He took ber in bis arms, and thdr lips met in a long, long kiss—a kiss that promised forgiveness for the past, and happiness for the future.

THB testimony of many who long suffered from ill health, caused bv au impure state of the blood, goes to prove that the best remedy for making tbe blood rich, red and pure, for beautifying the complexion, for curing aches, pains, Btiff joints, rheumatism, etc., for increasing power of endurance, for giving healtu and strength to every weak portion of the body, is Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. Its effect pleases the user in every instance. No other remedy equals it. 2
