I also know that no mother-in-law can live in peace with a son's wife.” “But Nellie says that is all nou- sense. She wants you.” “I don't doubt she says that out of courtesy and respect, but you two must do as your dead father and I did, begin to live on your own resources | unhampered by any meddling or un- welcome relative.” So John Marcy reluctantly left the lonely old woman he loved just as he did when a boy. It was 256 miles to the new home to which he had led Nellle a bride a month agone. They had spent a month in traveling. Now they were settling down to practical housekeeping. “‘Oh, dear!” greeted him in a grieved tone as he reached home that even- ing. “You didn't bring mother with you?” “She wouldn't come, dear.” | le. “Not even for that. Tell you, Nel- lie, you're the sweetest little woman be wrong for her to intrude on you, and wrong for you to encourage her.” “Why, John! I love your mother as if she were my own.” But John recalled what his wise old mother had told him. He had great faith in her mature judgment. He had made up his mind to follow her advice. He pretty definitely told Nellie so, and she pouted over it and shed a few tears. “All the time I have planned to have mother here,” she declared, al- most sobbing. “I suppose you think I'm just saying that to please you. I'm not. Mother shall come—see if she don't!"” “Never!” asserted John, he knew best. “All right; wait and see,” observed Nellie. “Just the grandest dear in the world, my John,” whispered Nellie to herself. “As to his mother, she's iy thinking He Was Not Quite Himself. an angel. They’ve thought of nothing but me, selfish little me, and the old time-worn tradition that a son's wife can't get along with the mother, Yes, she shall come and—she shall stay!” John sat at the tea table after the meal three evenings later. He was not quite himself. Nellie gecretly veiled the mischief in her eyes as she noted his mood “I say,” observed John, “we've had codfish for three nights."” “Yes,” nodded Nellie. “I bought a lot of it so we wouldn't run out. Why, John?" “Well—er, do you call it fried, or bolled, or roasted ?" “It's a kind of fricassee.” “H'm!” mumbled John. Suppose we have a change. Baker's bread, too. Mother always had biscuits.” “Yes, John, dear, and beautiful ones, too. I'll cook some.” Which Nellie did. And the next evening, after choking on two of them, when she was not looking John walked to the window, threw a third biscuit wrathfully at a passing dog and sent the animal off yelping as if he had been struck by g nnon ball. “Bread tomorrow, John,” announced | Nellie, never losing her domestic op- timism. “I've found a lovely recipe.” “All right—don't make any more biscuits, though.” “Why, John?” “Well, you see best.” that is, T like bread I uid her tongue to keep from la out right.

Nellie did not run after him. She only smiled. She was, however, sober- fuc;wl enough when she told the an- noyed John of the incident. “You John,” she explained plaintively, “I'm all alone here. 1 can't watch every part of the house all of the time.” “Yes, I see,” said John rather sulk- ily. Then Nellie discerned that he was making a great effort to muster up the courage to say something. “Look here, Nellie,” he blurted out finally. “You're a sweet little womax"{ and all that, but a fellow must eat. “Yes, John," responded Nellie de- murely. “I don’t want to offend you, but you don't know how to cook.” | “No, John, but can't I learn?"”’ [ “Who from?” asked John hopefully. “I don't know, indeed,” murmured Nellie in a forlorn way. “I do,” cried John, “mother. We'll have her here to teach you for n‘ month.” [ | “No, John,” dissented Nellle dellb-‘ erately. | “ER 7" | “Not for a month. If she will come to stay, yes." ’ “But—" | “That's 2ll, John,” declared the lit- tle lady firmly. “Do as you please, but those are my terms.” “Humph! got a gnind of her own when she's aroused,” reflected John, alone later. “Dear little chick!” And mother, after a stormy discussion with her son, came the next day. What a glowing loving heart to heart talk with the doubting, fearful old mother the affectionate confiding wife had! How sadly Nellie spoke of her dead mother, how tenderly to this lonely woman whom she asked to share her heart and home. And what a royal meal for John that evening! How his eyes sparkled at the goodly array of eatables! No biscuits like rocks, no doubtful roast, no burned pudding! “Ah,” he observed, “let us see how soon mother can make a graduate of you in cookery, Nellie.” “Why, son,” spoke Mrs. Marcy, & radiant smile on her face, “Nellie has been teaching me all the afternoon.” “Teaching what?” asked John. “Cookery.” SHit=" “Now listen, John,” gpoke his mother, winding one loving arm about Nellie and holding her close. “You have got a jewel here.” “I always knew that,” declared John, % “She has so surely proved that she | 2 see, .

Those biscults—" John made a wry face. “And the bread—" John threw up his hands in direful dismay at the memory. “Were all frauds, innocent frauds,” went on the old woman. “She was bound to drive you to haveeme here. She made those biscuits like rocks and spoiled the bread and let that thief get away with your coat—" “Just because I love your mother | almost as much as yourself,” added | Nellie. | “Oh, you darling! cried John en-! thusiastically. “You are just the dear- est little wife in the world!"” [ “And a daughterin-law to be proud of,” supplemented his old mother, (Copyright, 1914, by W.
