I [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] I-JOHN'S…
I [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] I JOHN'S FIRST WIFE I By IOE ANDERSON NORRIS The air was crisp outside, but the roomy kitchen was warm and sunny. Mingled with the grateful heat was the odour of sprinkled linen, steaming under the iron. Linen hung on clothes-horses and on the hacks of chairs, and still the wicker basket underneath the ironing-board groaned with sheets, pillow- sHps, tablecloths, and napkins, neatly piled in soft, damp rolls. Ann Quigley stood at the board ironing. As she ironed she chatted with her neighbour, Susan Stephens, who had come in with her knitting from across the way. "You don't mind my going right along with my work, do you?" she asked. Susan shook her head, her lips being occupied with count- ing inarticulate stitches. "To-day's Tuesday, you know, and the ironing's got to be finished. It goes against grain to leave it over till Wednesday, for Wednesdays I bake. Besides, I can work and talk at the same time." She straightened out a sheet, tested an iron with the tip of a WEt finger, and passed it across, back and forth, this way and that, sidewise. "You are a good housekeeper, Ann," said Susan admiringly. "You are given up to be the IJest housekeeper in this town. John Quigley got a prize when he got you. Every- body says eo." Ann stopped short, resting her hot iron on the sheet so long that when she suddenly ,remembered and took it off there was the print of it in a fine light brown. "See what you made me doshe cried, and, snatching up the sheet, she took a shining pail from a shelf, filled it at the sink, and soused the linen into the water. "Maybe it will come out," she muttered, "but I don't know. I'm afraid not." "I am awfully sorry!" apologised Stisan contritely. "Never mind. I'll leave it to soak. I guess it will come out." She folded another sheet across the board. "It was my fault," she said. "You surprised me so. And they talk like that, do they? I'm a good house- keeper and John got a prize when he got me, eh?" "That's what they say!" asserted Susan. Ann ironed awhile in silence. "And they say you're a splendid cook, too," added Susan, anxious to atone for the scorched sheet. j Ann smiled, well pleased. Then she I sighed. "It don't make much difference how good a housekeeper you arc, Susan," she said, reflectively, "or how good a cook.. Things like that don't make a man care anything more for you. He kinder expects it of J'ou. All the cooking in the world won't keep a man from thinking about somebody else if I ht's a mind to. It won't make him forgot." "What do you mean?" asked Susan. "You don't mean John?" "Yes, John. Do you remember his first wife?" "Umph. ham* But she wasn't a patching to you when it comes to housekeeping!" "Maybo not," mu".erl Ann wistfully; but, there must have been something mighty lovable about her. She's been dead five years now, this coming June, and John hasn't for- gotten. her yet. And, what's more, I don't believe he ever will forget her." She folded the sheet into squares, pressed it lovingly between her palms-it was 60 clean and white and smooth, and Ann's soul rejoiced in cleanliness and whiteness and smoothness—and laid it on a chair. Then, taking a towel from the basket, she shook out the fringe and spread it on the board. "She was a pretty woman," she continued, briskly ironing the bright red border, "and beauty goes a long way with a man. Nobody would ever accuse me of being pretty," she added, with a constrained laugh, and Susan, looking up, was forced mentally to confess the truth of her remark. Her purple calico, starched and bristling with cleanliness, set off a fairly good figure, but aside from that little could be said in her favour. "You've got pretty hair, Ann," she ventured, encouragingly. Ann sighed again. "Yes, I've got pretty hair," she acknowledged, "but hair don't count much when your face is plain." Her face was plain. There was no gain- saying it. Its plainness was accentuated by the halo of reddish brown hair. "Beauty ain't but skin deep," said Susan sententiously. "Yes, but ugliness is to the bone," finished Ann. There followed a period of energetic silence freighted with thought. "John's first wife was pretty," repeated Ann by-and-bye, mighty pretty. She was young and fresh and bloomy, like a flower. h e w. She was one of them southern women what don't know any more about housekeeping than a fly, but they know how to make the men care for them, and that's half the battle. It's more than half. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but it ain't. It's through his eyes. You know I lived next door to them. I cculd see into her kitchen. And of all tho kitchens it was a sight! She hadn't any system about her work. She would put things away and spend half her time looking for them. And cpok! She couldn't any more cook than she could fly to the moon. She wculd have her potatoes mashed and ready for the table, a-cooling off, and her chicken only half diOne, I don't believe she ever got everything done at once in her life. She couldn't cook, and she oouldn't learn to cook. It wasn't in her." She shrugged her shoulders, with a laugh. It's the greatest, wonder," she went on, that John didn't get chronic dyspepsia eat- ing the things set before him. But he didn't. He seemed to thrive. Whatever she cooked was good- enough for him. Ha would come home early and help her, stewing over the stove, doing all kinds of woman's work, trying to make things easy for her. I've seen him run along the walk and up the steps—three steps at a time—he was so glad to get home, then work like a nigger when he got .there." She hung the towel on the back of a chair and shook out the fringe of another. He has never done a. lick of work since we have been married," ehe said, her mouth twitching. He has never bad to help me in the kitchen or in the garden, or even in the flower beds in the front yard, but he never comes hurrying home, he never runs up the steps three steps at a tune, and he never smiles when he meets me a.t the door." Maybe he is worried about business," sug- gested Susan, measuring the thumb of the glove she was knitting by her own. Men have lots of things to worry them that they don't tell their wives." No, it ain't that; it's remembering her. He oan't forget her, and I can't make him forget her. Sometimes I wish I didn't live in the same house where they lived together. That makes it worse. There's the littJe front poroh where they used to sit of evenings. When ihe aind I sit there in the summer time and I see his eyes way off yonder, I know he's thinking of bar. She ironed slowly, staring through the window, her own eyes moist. "I know," she reiterated softly, "that he is thinking how h3 used to sit there with her, and he is wish- ing it was him and her again instead of him and me." She took to ironing faster. I'll never forget the day she died," 8he continued. She died three days after the baby was born. She never liked me somehow, but I didn't let that interfere with doing my neighbourly duty by her. I went over and helped take care of her. "The ba.by was torn dead, but she grieved after it the same as if it had been a living child. She would lie there staring up at the ceiling and grieving until it was pitiful to see her. I believe it was that that kiiled her. She didn't want to live, and it died. One day she made me bring out its little clothes and lay them on the bed all around her. She fingered the sleeves, the tears rolling down her cheeks. There'll never be any little arms in. them,' she said, and turned her face to t.he wall. I put the things back in the drawer where she couldn't eee them any more. That laft day she was burning up with fever. Her little feet were hot as fire. So were her hands. She talked flightily about the baby, about how she wanted to see it. and they wouldn't let her. How could they and it dead? I sat on the edge oT the bed, stroking her poor, hot feet, when suddenly they tbegan to get cold, and she stopped talking. I sent for John in a hurry. When he came he was like a. madman. He knelt down by he' and begged her to listen to him. Don't go away without telling me good-bye, sweet- heart!' he said, a-sohbing between the words. 'Don't leave me like this! Say good-bye to me. sweetheart I put my hand on his shoulder. I wanted to tell him that she was past, speak- ing, and past hearing for that matter, but he stared up at me Eg if he had never seen me before.. Go away,' he said. Leave me alone with her, can't you? Go awav!' And he gave me a push. "I went out and shut the door." She leaned her elbows on the board and looked hard at Susan, who had dropped her knitting in her lap, "I think the only reason he married me," she said sadly, "was because I took good care of her. But sometimes I wish he hadn't. He'll never forget her, and I can't make him. I do everything I can to please him. I keep this place like wax from garret to cellar, but it might be helter skelter from one week's end to the other for al the notice he takes of it. I stand in this kitchen for hours cook- ing things to please him, and he hardly tastes them. He sits and stares across the table at me, and I know ho don't see me. He eees her there opposite him in her old place that I have taken. The look in his eyes hurts me, Susan." Susan heaved a sigh and again took up the glove. "Maybe yon imagine it," she said. Ann stood erect. She re-placed the cold iron with a hot one. "I wish I did," said she. "I only wish I did. I don't complain. You mustn't think that. He is kind to me. There couldn't be a kinder man, but kindness ain't all a woman wants. She wants a little love mixed up with it sometimes-just a. little bit of love. "Listen! Last night I was lying by his-fiide wide awaka and lie asleep and dreaming. After awhile he threw his arm around my neck and kissed me in his sleep. 'Sweet- heart,' he said, my sweetheart!' You'd have felt sorry for me then if you could have seen how still I lay, hardly daring to breathe for fear he would wake and find that it was me there by his side and not his sweetheart.' "Maybe he meant you," said Susan. "Don't he ever call you sweetheart?" "0, and he never called her anything else." The basket was empty. Not a single towel, sheet, napkin, or pillowslip remained to interfere with Ann's work on Wednesday— her baking day. She was ironing the last piec,f-a damask tablecloth, her best cloth, which she reserved for company. Traced upon it was a pattern of ivy leaves. Under the manipulation of her iron this pattern shone, raised into brilliancy by the heat and the pressure of her strong right hand. A tear dropped. She quickly ironed it out. and, passing her sleeve across her eyes, caught two other tears which followed. Then the slow, soft sweep of the iron over the steaming linen, back and forth, this way and that a.nd sidewise, made rhythmical music in the silent room, while Susan's needJcs clicked in silent sympathy.
A FRIEND IN NEED.
A FRIEND IN NEED. George: Jack, old boy, I'm so glad I ran across you. Never needed your friendehip more. I'm in love with the belle of the season, and I promised her a sail to-day, but. I had a run of bad luck last night, and haven't a penny left. Jack: Too bad. "Yes. I don't care for myself, you know; but it's such a pity that a charming creature should be disappointed. You have a little money to spare, haven't you?" "Oh, plenty. Make yourself easy, my dear boy. She shan't be disappointed. I'll take her myself."
AN UNEXPECTED REPLY.
AN UNEXPECTED REPLY. At one of our local schools, an inspector was putting some questions to one of the scholars, and asked: "How many days are there in a week?" Seven, sir," NN-uq ths rc-ply. "Quite right. And what Lre their namesP" said the inspector. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday," wis the reply. But you missed one out. What day does your mother go to church?" asked the inspector. "Every time mi fether buys her a new bonnet," was the unexpected reply.
AN INDIFFERENT SCHOLAR.
AN INDIFFERENT SCHOLAR. When- Mrs. Murphy had given a festive gathering some little time previously, pro- visions had rui short, and she was forced to borrow from Mrs. O'Flanagan. Three weeks. later she appeared at the latter lady's door with a huge market basket, in a remote corner of which, carefully wrapped in paper, lay a nice brown egg. "Och! Share, Mrs. Murphy," said Mra. O'Flanagan, bnt it's ntesolf that lent ye two eggs, and ye've only brought back one!" Kegorra, Mrs. O'Flanagan," cried Mrs. Murphy, "ye don't mane it! Then it's me- soelf that must 'a' made a mistake in the countin' av 'em. Oi niver wuz much of a scollard!"
