"Mary!" called Mrs. Fenton, the
pretty, young, but rather jealously in
clined wife of George Feuton. Mrs.
Fenton was plainly angry and held in
ber bands a letter whicii . nowed signs
of having been curried long in a pock
et with tobacco aud pencils.
"Yis, ma'am," auswered Mary, com
ing to tbe door. Tbis door led to the
dining room, and it was from tbere
tbat Mary came.
The little parlor of the tiny flat had
another door which led to the bed
room* aud still auother which gave out
into the general hall. And Mary stood
looking with surprise at her young
mistress, for it was evident that she
was laboring under some heavy
strain.
"Mary, oh, Mary, just to think! I
have found this letter in George's pock
et, aud I am heartbroken. 1 never
thought he would do such a thing.
He always pretended to love me so!"
And here she dissolved in tears.
"Oh, don't take on so! Now, beloike j
it wor somethin' he picked up in the
strate to show you."
'Oh, every one toid me not to marry
a commercial traveler. Listen: 'My own
iovey dovey. Your own ownest chicky J
wicky will wait at the gatey patey at'
9. Don't forget your Dotty Dimple."
'Now, Mary. I am sure this letter Is
not an old one. I'll punish him! I'll
put his love to a test that will show j
whether he loves me or Dotty Dimple!
best Mary, I'll be dead when he
comes."
"Oh. Mrs. Fenton!"
"Now. don't cry, Mary. 1 don't mean
really dcnd. but I'm going to pretend
it. and you must help me."
Mrs. Fenton was very young.
"I'll go and get out my old crape
veil and tic it on the doorknob and
get some flowers and all sort of things.
When he comes bring him right in
here. Lower the curtains, aim I'll be
laid out on the table, and you get out?
two of my best sheets and a pillow.
We'll put these two tables together
end for end. and I'll be laid out on
them, and you pretend to cry. But you
must put the flowers on first. Then
watch him closely and tell me nfter
ward what he does. His train will be
here a quarter to S. and we must bur
ry. You get the things ready while I
am out."
Mary grumbled to herself that this
was the foolisbest thing her young
mistress, who was so very emotional,
ever did, and she did not at all like
the idea of pretending to be dead. But
"hers not to reason why," and she did
as she was told.
Mrs. Feuton had gone out through
the dining room and down the back
stairs, while Mary went to the linen
closet and looked for the "best
sheets," and this took several min
utes. Anyhow it took Ions enough for
George Fenton to open the ball door
with his pass key and come in quietly.
He looked sleepy and as though a
shave would do him good. His jolly
face was wreathed in smiles, which
faded slowly as he saw that his wife
was not there. His cigar had gone
out, and lie yawned widely, saying:
'Now, where is Annie? Well, the
game lasted until daylight, and I am
in just $(J00. Well, as she is not here
I guess I'll take a nap and a shave,
"WHAT WAS THE MATTEK WITH HSU?
She's probably gone to market, and as
sbe doesn't expect me on this train,
why, I have half an hour anyhow."
Saying these words, George, the
handsome; George, the best traveling
] salesman east of the Allegbenies;
George, the inveterate poker player,
took his gripsack and went quietly
into the bedroom. There was a fear
ful and wonderful screen before this
door, and one in that room could bear
aud see all that was taking place in
the parlor, himself unseen.
It was not very long before George
heard Mary in the parlor moving the
tables, but he never interfered in the
household matters, and indeed Annie
J was a famous housekeeper. His face I
j was covered with lather besides. Then ]
I he beard the doer open and his wife
enter. He could not decently rush <'!it
an?J kiss her until be had got the
j lather <?ff bis face. so he hastened the
j operation, but was suddenly che? ked
by hearing his wife say:
"Now. hurry. Mary, and uet the ta
bles together over here by the window
and draw the curtains. I've tied the
crape on the door. It is nearly time.
Mr. Ericson's Old House.
Go see it, it's a beauty. It stands
out among all its neighbors, because
the coloring is so bright and clear.
Mr. Erlcson painted with L. & M.
Paint and says it cost 1-3 less than
ever before. He bought only 12
gallons of L. & M. Paint and 9 gal
lons of Linseed Oil to mix with It.
This made 21 gallons of pure paint,
and cost only $1.20 per gallon. It's
as handsome as the finest In town.
The L. & M. Is sold by J. G. Wan
namaker Mfg. Co., Orangeburg, S. C.
Mary. I will get up on the table and
11c down, and t.i?u you cover the
sheet over me and lay the wreath on
my breast and scatter the other flow
ers along the sheet. Then when he
comes in you tell him that 1 found
this letter on the floor, and?mind that
I say on the floor?and that 1 gave one
piercing shriek and fell dead."
"I will, ma'am," said Mary, taking
the ragged letter.
In the meantime Mrs. Fenton had
pushed a chair to the side of the table
and prepared to mount, while she said
plaintively:
"Oh, Mary, 1 feel like some of the
people they write about?the Indian
girls that leap from precipices, singing
their death songs.
"Place me on Sunlum's marbled steep,
Where nothing but the waves and I
Can hear their ghostly murmurs sweep.
There, swan-like, let me sing and die."
Annie stepped to the table from the
chair preparatory to lying down and
?assuming her corpselike position. Mary
gathered her skirts around her feet.
Mrs. Fenton had on a very pretty
white dress with much lace around the
waist. She prepared to "be dead," as
Jenny Wren calls it, when George, who
had got nearly all the soap out of his
eyes and off his face, stepped forward
to surprise his pretty wife, whom lie
sincerely loved. But the strange words
and actions caused blm to stop, listen
and look through a hole In the screen.
At first he thought of rushing out and
surprising her. But he didn't and stood
quite still, awaiting developments.
At last Mrs. Fenton managed to get
down to the table, and Mary adjusted
her head and the clothes about her
feet. Mrs. Fenton closed her eyes and
folded her hands across her breast;
then she waj suddenly struck by a
thought.
"Mary, don't cover my face until just
before you go to the door. Oh, I for
got to loosen my hair! George likes
to see it so! And Mary, 1 do hope
and pray he may repent after this."
"Well, ma'am, he ought to, but I
don't see what he has done."
While this was being said and done
George said to himself:
"By Jinks, this is getting Interesting.
I'll help carry this thing out In flue
style. It is a joke that can cut two
ways. I'll slip out the back way and
ring the bell and come in, and I'll bet
a stack of little round silver dollars
she'll never play such a trick again."
And he took his gripsack and went
out the back way.
Mary continued arranging the corpse
and set all the chairs arouud the walls
as if for a funeral. Then the bell rang
suddenly and hard. Mary jumped.
Mrs. Fenton said:
"Hurry, quick; give me the powder
box!" And she put the powder on so
thickly that she did look very white.
She continued hurriedly:
"Now, Mary, cover my face careful
ly so I won't sneeze. Now go and let
film In."
As she said this Mrs. Fenton sud
denly began to quiver and lift her
knees under the sheet and sneezed
three times, while Mary was fairly
dancing with fear as the bell rang
again, this time furiously.
At this minute George was at the
door and bounced in. laughing heart
ily, while Mary looked too shocked for
words. He threw the bag down with
a slam as he shouted:
"So the old hen has kicked the buck
et, hopped the twig, passed In her
checks and gone to kingdom come!
Well, I'm not going to cry over it.
What was the matter with her?"
Mary remembered her Instructions
and with a tragic air handed blm the
letter.
"This, sor!"
George took the letter and read it,
laughing still harder.
"YIs, sor; she found It on the flure?
ou the flure?yis, on the flurc-and fell
did on the spot."
"What spot?" asked George. looking
about him curiously.
"Lor". I don't know, sor," replied the
girl, who was beginning to be rattled
with the turn affairs were taking.
"Well, I don't care. Now, Mary, this
letter was written to her by a big lam
mux of a pa loot, and I wish he had
married her."
At this studied insult Mrs. Fenton
lifted her head under the sheet. Mary
only saw it and stifled a cry.
"I say. Mary," said George, "you are
a nice looking girl, and I kn<" . you
are tidy and a good cook. Now. what
do you say to taking the old hen's
place. I've had my eye upon you for a
long time."
There was another subdued commo
tion under the sheet.
"Just as soon as she Is planted, for
It would be an awful"bother to break
up housekeeping, and you could have
all her clothes, her sealskin coat?and?
ah?her table linen. (This last was
Annie's joy and pride.) Oh. say, I'll
have her cremated! I suppose there'll
be a coroner's Inquest and an autopsy.
Yes, I'll have the autopsy, for she
swallowed a gold dollar once. And,
Mary, get your scissors. I'll cut her
hair off. She won't need it where she's
one, and J guess it's worth at least
:>25. And, Mary, you take out her
teeth. They cost And then the
sheet quivered again. But he kept bis
back turned. He conlinued:
"Well, it was a kind of sudden tak
ing off. But then I save the expense
of a doctor's bill, and she was getting
airing in years?yes, fifty if she was a
day."
Mary stammered:
"Laws! I wouldn't have gave her
over twenty-two." Mary saw the (1st
that now protruded. George lighted a
cig.ir and continued:
"Ob, wotlten have a way of fixing
themselves up Now. you wouldn't
believe i'. but she had a cork leg!"
At last Man understood that Mrs
Fenton wanted her to get him out of
the room and said;
"Ah. Mr. Fenton. won't you come to

"No, Mary, I'm having too good a

I've ever smoked in my own parlor. I
say, Mary, you are a nice girl. Get
some whisky and bring it here. She
would never let me have a drop In th?

"Oh. Mr. Fenton, please don't talk

"Is dead. Long may she stay so.
Here, let me put this wreath on your
golden head. Mary."
This. George proceeded to do. and
Mary nearly fainted. Mrs. Fenton,
who had borne all she could, sat up,
throwing off the sheet, flowers and all
and, weeping into one corner of the
sheet, she cried:
"Wretch! Villain! How dare you?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself? I'll
leave you this very hour, making fun
of me and lying?yes. you did, you
did; you know you did!"
With the powder on her face and her
disheveled hair she looked very wild.
He turned and said disgustedly:
"Ah, why didn't you stay dead?"
"I never thought you could be so un
feeling. I thought you cared a little
for me, and I wanted to teach you a
lesson. Mary, come here and take out
my teeth?if you cau. Both my legs
are cork, since I was born in Cork.
You hateful thing, wanting to get mar
ried again before I was cold! Mary, I
give you warning. You are a bold,
bad thing! Bring me my things. I'll
go home to my mother."
"Mary." said George seriously,
"bring a damp towel to wipe off this
powder. Listen, Annie. I was on to
this from the first. 1 am heartbroken."
As he said these words George threw
himself flat on the floor, sobbing aloud:
"You might' have killed me with the
shock. Annie. I hastened home, count
ing the hours. I came home while you
were out, and I went into the bed
room to shave so you would not be
disgusted with my rough face. I heard
the whole plot. How could you treat
an adoring husband like that?so cruel

"But?I found a letter"?
"I picked that up in the street?ah?
to?do some figuring. You will find
figures on It. But, oh. Annie! Your
lack of confidence"?
"Oh, George, forgive me! Of course
but 1 didn't see any figures on It. and,
oh, do say you forgive me, George! I
am so unhappy."
"I will, Annie, I will, but don't ever
doubt me again."
As George took his repentent young
wife in his arms she turned and said:
"Mary, you are to stay. George, you
are an angel to forgive me so. and you
may smoke where you please, aud, oh,
I'll go and fix my hair."
"Better Dead."
