At first It had been of years, but these narrowed down to months and then to weeks. Those three week6 always remained, and, till the end of his days, they re mained a blank to him. Patrolman Thomas had found him standing beside the river in a dazed corf nf u'ov Wa boH talron rvff his coat and evidently meant to plunge in. He had even cut the initials from his linen and destroyed all papers that might Identify him. But at the river's bank that lapse of memory overtook him, so that he only stared stupidly about him, unable to understand who he was or why he had gone there. At the hospital they said that it was a case of amnesia, due to some shock, and that in time Clements would re cover his memory. Gradually he did recover it. lie re- ! rnembered that he was John Clements, j but not till a number of other details , had coine back to him. Xurse Marjorie Eltham was in j charge of him. He was a paying pa tient and had got back into touch with ' his affairs. But nobody in Aylmer | knew much about his private affairs. "There is one man who knows all about me," said Clements, during the third week of his stay In the hospital. "But I don't know who he is or where he lives." Miss Eltham was at first greatly in terested in her strange case. Then a Btrong friendship grew up between her and ner pauen:. jseiore ne was ins charged, cured as far as he was ever likely to be, Clements asked Marjorie to marry him. She refused, and, when he pressed her, she admitted that she loved him. "Then why?" he asked. "Because of those three lost weeks," she answered, turning her head away. "When you remember, dear?not till then." He understood her fears. He might be a married man. He had no right to claim her until his memory came back to him. So Clements went away, back to his j business. He kept in touch with Mar- | jorie. If ever his memory came back to him he was to claim her. That was tacitly understood by both. Ho found it easy to pick up the thread of his interests. Gradually the old associations grew round him again. But. his memory remained a blank. At the end of a year he realized that he would never remember. Then ho went back to Marjorie. Clements took her out to dinner, and, that night, he asked her again to be his wife. Marjorie agreed. They were mar ried the following afternoon and went away on their honeymoon. Clements learned many things dur ing that period. His wife was alone in the world. Her only sister had died j under tragic circumstances a year be fore. She was unhappily married, and j a man had come into her life who seemed everything to her. Marjorle j had tried to dissuade her sister?had | threatened to tell her husband of the projected elopement. Then Caroline j had taken the bit between her teeth. She had run away, and, on the way ' to meet her lover, the train had been wrcck.^d. She had been killed instant- \ ly. Since then Marjorie had seen noth ing of her brother-in-law. "What was the man's name?" asked John. Marjorie did not know. They returned from their honey moon and settled in Ayimer. Three , years passed. Two children had been born to them. They wore ideally hap py, and, but for that period of blank ness in his mind, John was a normal man. lie was highly esteemed in his city and spoken of as the next mayor. One day when John was away a stranger called at the house. Mar jorie received him with an attempt at warmth which hardly hid her real feel ings. It was her brother-in-law. He was no warmer than Marjorie. "I have just learned the facts," he paid, "and I thought I would run down and see your husband. I found his letters in my late wife's drawer." John Clements was the man who had been the unwitting cause of her sister's death. "Of course, I have read about the case," he said, "but I guess he'll know me all right when he sees me.'* Marjorie fought a fearful battle dur ing those few minutes. John's love for her, his loyalty, showed her that he was a good man; but the thought that he had been the cause of her sis ter's death, that he had made love to the wife of another, was galling to her pride. "Roger," she said at last, "you have a richt to meet mv husband. Stav to I dinner and, if he remembers you, say | what you please. That is your right" j "I guess he'll know me," answered the other, scowling. It seemed an eternity before John Clements came up the garden and into the house. At his approach Roger sprang from his chair with clenched fists, scowling at the other man. "John, this is my brother-in-law," ; said Marjorie. John Clements advanced with out strotched hand. "I am happy to meet , j'ou, sir," he said simply. And in the pause that followed | R-iger realized that his enemy had Mipped through his grasp. He turned ! aside. "Marjorie," ne said later, "I guess we have both had our punishment after all." (Cc-nvriyht 1Q1A Hv "W CL rhonman \ ; uui-um\m home i ? ? I By KATE THORN. I People who always . stay at home never know how to appreciate home, because they never enjoy the bliss of homing home. You have, perhaps, many times thought that you wished things were different with you. You haven't felt satisfied. Nobody ever does. It is a peculiarity of us all to find fault with well enough. You have looked at Mr. B.'s brownstone palace, and wished your humble ccttage could be made to expand into more magnificent proportions. You have trod his im ported carpets, and turned up your nose at your own pretty but cheap in grains. You have looked at his hlnnripd hnrsfts. and felt iLHsrravated with your faithful old Dobbin because he was not like them, with a pedi gree a yard long, and a record in the | twenties. Mow, what you need is travel. You | want to go to tlie seaside lor pleasure and recreation, and order airy rooms, seven by nine, and sleep in the tur moil of swarms of mosquitoes and sand flies, bo kept awake nights by four crying babies, and three poodle dogs which are homesick, drink muddy coffee, bo bullied and neglected by waiters, sit in a parlor full of flies, where the young ladies of the estab lishment exhibit their musical accom plishments until midnight on a wheezy piano, and be charged four dollars a day for the privilege. You need to go to the country, and sleep in an attic, under the eaves, where the rain on the roof becomes too damp to be poetical any longer,! and where the rats and mice laugh at traps and sneer at the family cat, as they prance around your couch and dance the, tango in the wainscot. You need to eat tough old hen under the alluring name of "spring chick en," and sour apple pies, and string beans which are all string and no beans, and have your morning slum bers disturbed by the cackling of geese, the quacking of ducks, and the crowing of roosters innumerable ana t untiring; and for a near approach to j anything perpetual, commend us to the j rooster where the people take city boarders, and give them all the "com forts" and conveniences of the most luxurious home." You need to travel two or three days on a railway, and get your eyes, and ears, and the pores of your skin, full of soot and cinders, and be conscious ihac your collar is wilted, and the bosom of your shirt looks like splatter work, and that there is a bunch of tinders in the corner of your eye, and that the two pretty girls on the op posite seat are laughing at you. You need to take a delightful trip by the palatial steamers of the so-and so route, and occupy one of their "spa cious" staterooms, about a foot short er than yourself when you are ( stretched out, and so narrow that you cannot turn over on your pallet with out upsetting the wash stand and de moralizing the crockery. You will sweat and puff, and pant for a breath of air, and fall into a troubled slum ber, only to be awakened by the whis tle of the boat, which seems bent upon blowing just at tlie critical time when you ?!-! !> to hore th^t at last you j-iiail it, .:J get to sleep. You 1 will get up carl/ in the morning, with j your clothing covered with feathers j and lint, where it has rested on tiio! Ui-t cr bc-rih; and, if you have a brush, I you cannot brui.h yourself without J skinning your elbows at every whisk. You want to stay away from home r.bout a month, and, when you get back, everything will look lovely to you, especially aftc r you have had a' bath and a clean shirt. There are oc-! casions when a clean shirt would al- j most convert a man from a heathen j to a Christian. Your wife does not look half bo I freckled as she did, and the children j, are not so deop in bread and molasses as of yore, and you do not mind if ' the carpet is ingrain, and the sofa I cushions frayed out at the corners. ^ You are at home, where you can be boss of the establishment, unless, ' as is frequently the case, your wife j I happens to be the superior officer. It ^ does a man's soul good to feel that he is the boss. There Is nothing ele vates his spirit like knowing that he is where his will is law, and his com mands carried out, though the heav ens do fall! It is a source of satis faction to have a dog, even, so that you may be sure of something to or der around. You are surprised that there is so much comfort in home. A cup of tea is a simple thing enough, but, under certain circumstances it refines a * man's nature, with milk and sugar in it, of course. And tcast, and sponge s cake, and a clean tablecloth, and a ; cat on the window, and your wife j bringing in your slippers, and Tommy J busy over the picture book, and Min nie warming her doil's blue china feet by the blazing grate, the evening pa per coming in, aud the bedroom door open to warm tiie room, and the assur ance in your spirit that nobody will charge you five dollars for extra com mons, under the head of sundries, and .hat ycu can sleep as long as you want lo in the morning without danger of ! missing a train?ah! that is com- ( ...... i a.sti y?i ne*cr would have known j ii you had uoi '.eft it. ir'o v.e :.- y to all people 'iif-.content- ; ii *! ;io:ne?travel.
