———— — : «4 Cnange For the Summer.” “Everyhody else can go to the country.” Mrs. Rogers was, beyond ques- tion, very miserable, indeed. Her face was flushed and bore traces of tears, and her manner said even more plainly than words that she considered herself a much-abused woman. “[ have looked over the ground very carefully, indeed,”’ Mr. Rogers replied, nm a low, even tone, which seemed to be particular exasperating to his wife, ‘and Tam sure it can- not be done with anv satety. I am sorry, Mary, very sorry, indeed.’’ Mrs. Rogers forced back the sar- castic reply which was certainly at her tongue’s end, and endeavored to be logical. “I think a change is yery necessa- ry to every one’’—Mrs. Rogers had not once udvised her huspand’s tak- ing a vation —‘*and I feel sure that such a trip as I have in mind will be a good investment of money.” “Yes; to invest ?”’ “You don’t mean to tell but it one hasn’t the money me that you can’t spare two hundred dol- lars?’ Mrs. Rogers face was pain- fully flushed now, and her voice trembled with the intensity of her feeling. “Two hundred dollars would not ‘over the expense, Mary, but I shall not be able to take even two hun- bred dollars from my business this summer.”’ +f should like to know what lo with your money!’. It was a full minute before Mr. ogers rallied to reply to this ques- ion. If his wife had made a busi- hess of trying to think ot the cruelest hing she could say to him, she ould not have succeeded better. “IT spend my mouey, Mary, or ther oxr money,’’ the gentleman Inswered at last, ‘tin providing for y family, in freeing the house we ve in, and in keeping my credit ood. I have ‘always tried to keep hy business troubles entirely to my- If, but you might as well under- and now that lam having a hard Ime to keep my head above water. we can pull together, Mary, we all pull on safe ground, but if we n’t—well, if we don’t, I can’t tell hat will become of us.’” “IfI were aman my wife and ildren would not be tied down in he city al! the year round. It is st bad management and stinginess, at’s what it is, and I should think at you would be ashamed of your- elf William Rogers.” you There 1s no reply to this, but the nan’s face, as he turned to leave the pom, looked haggard and drawn, sif from a long illness. Mrs. Rogers had always been xacting wife, but, as up to this time er husband had been generally able meet her demand. there had been 0 serious trouble. Mrs. Rogers as a careful house keeper, and not- withstanding the above showing, yas naturally kind-hearted and help- | ul. She had, however, a quick emper, and an exceedingly bad hab- | tof ‘speaking her mind.” 00, she had no conception of the Rmount of brain, energy and money equired to carry on her husband's business. Perhaps Mr. Rogers was ko blame in keeping the disagreeable details so exclusively to himself. But it was a matter of conscience with this gentleman, and whatever the results, he had certainly acted according to his light. It had been uphill work all the way, and there was still harder climbing to do, but Mr. Rogers was sure-footed aud far- seeing. How pitifml that he could not have the band ana heart of his wife to help him in the lastand most thfficult part of the journey. ‘That morning she spent im visit- ing.

She told of past disagrec- ments, and dwelt with real pleasure | on the occasions when she had own way in spite ot her husband. The gentle, generous. dignified and to her hard-working ‘Mr. Rogers became | an orgre with plethoric money-bags, atyrant, a Bluebeard, a miser who begrudged his family the necessaries of lite. Atleast this was the pression which could not but pre- varl, when Mrs. Rogers had emptied her bu Iget of complaints. Not that she meant to entirely misrepresent her husband, but carried away by | her desire to do as her neighbors | did, and believing that the pleasure | could be hersif her husband énly thought so, it came to pass that it jwas not Mr. Rogers wlon shehid held up to her sympathizing trie nds, but an entirely different man. im- Betore twelve o’clock Mrs. Rog- ers had firmly decided to carry her point in spite of any such slight ob- supply her with money. About two o’clock, Mr. Rogers, who had been too busy to even think of luncheon, received the following note by a messenger: “Dear WILLIAM: cided it absolutely necessary for me and the children to have a change. I shall borrow the amount for our will be willing to oblige me. I think I can get ready to start te-mor- row. It you can let me have the money, I shall, of course, be better haye mentioned. Inany caseI shall go.

The messenger waited ter an an- swer as Mr. Rogers with flushed tace and trembling hands, fumbled over his pen and paper. The man seemed to have become suddenly numb and powerless. At last he wrote as follows: *Do not do it. Tam Harry’s debt. It seems to me that a wife who wiil ask her husband raise money for pleasure, when she knows it is with the greatest difhrcul- already in ty that he can pay his honest debts, is a fate] hindrance instead of the help that every honest man has a right to expect.” This Mr. Rogers scaled and dis- | patched, and then with a shudder of shame glanced over his wite’s com- | munication. In his nervousness and abstraction he had torn it up—had previously | tucked the check mm the envelope, | | and!
