Three weeks before Charles Askew, & young clerk in a broker's office, saw Do future before him. On twenty dol- lars a week, which might perhaps rise to forty by the time he was a middle- aged man, he was trying to support Cynthia, whom he had married six months before. They boarded—and how they hated the boarding-house! How they longed for that home which flv(_nys eluded them, phantomlike, even with the possibility of installment fur- niture, simply because it was impos- sible to get the bare monthly rent ahead. They had married for love, and love was all—except the twenty dol- lars a week—that they had to live on. However, they forgot their troubles in their mutual love until Cynthia de- veloped signs of lung trouble. It was not as yet serious—it would never be- come serious, and would probably be- come perfectly well it he could take his wife West. But that was totally out of the question. They had dreamed all their lives of a little farm. Both were city bred; both longed for the country life as one in which they could find their high- est ideal come true. And if only they | “ (" " u}fi [ [ il Wil I “My Wife!” Gasped Charley. could raise seven hundred dollars they saw their way clear. Seven hundred? They might as well have cried for sev- enty thousand Then Cyntiia had done a daring thing. She had seen an advertisement for a young woman of courage—Cyn- thia felt sure she had courage—to play a small part in the circus. Cynthia thought it was with the lions. She had gone, and had found herself one | of five hundred applicants. There were tall girls and short girls, stout and thin girls, spruce girls and slatternly ones—but she—she was the one picked : Rooms 6 and 6, Ellistor Blas |, "y o ranager. Indeed there wac nothing strange Lakeland, Florida es: Office 378; Resid. 301 Blue| , /0 that, for she had that air and breeding which were a sine qua non for the task. But Cynthia thought it was a miracle. She was to be strapped into an au- tomobile which looped the loop every night. And for the five minutes which lal attention to drafting legs. |the whole duty required she was to re- ceive fifty dollars nightly for three weeks—in all nine bundred dollars. “There ain't no risk at all” lh_e manager explained. “We've tried ”n. out a hundred times.

Three nights passed, during which period Charley thought his wife was simply a passenger in a racing auto- mobile. On the fourth he went to the . circus and discovered the truth. Then , there was another sceme. He even went to the manager, but that worthy showed him the agreement and laughed in his face. ‘No money till Saturday,” he said. “If she don't stay out the week she | don't get a penny.” Cynthia stayed out that week, and another, and most of the third.

She would have no chance at all; | she would never even know that she had died. | The sweat dripped from his brow. He remembered their happy life to- | gether. On Monday they had planned , to start for the West with their nine hundred dollars. He had already re- | signed his position. Now | was unbearable. The fearful premonition would not down; it grew and grew until it be- came certainty. At last he flung on his hat and ran down the stairs, out into the street, and toward the circus entrance. Something had seemed to snap in his heart, and he was sure now that ! Cynthia was dead. He tore, panting, along the street, reached the side door of the circus, and tried to force his . way past the doorkeeper. | “Now then, young feller,” remon- . strated that bemedaled functionary. “My wife!"” gasped Charley; but the | doorkeeper saw in him only a jealous i husband who had come perhaps to cre- | ate a disturbance within.

Circus hands came run- | ning up. | “I tell you my wife’s in there!” | gasped the frantic man. “She's dead! She's in the dip of death. She—" They thought he was a madman now. And suddenly, as they were forcing him to the door, Cynthia stood before him, radiant. “Charley!” she cried. husband! How dare you strike him? Charley, what is 1t? Why . . . you were afraid for me?" He fell back, fainting from the re- action, while, under her directions the doorkeeper, changed from a lion to a lamb, fanned the man's face and tapped him in kindly fashion upon the shoulder. “You didn't have an accident?” gasped Charley Askew falntly. “Why, no, dear,” cried his wife. “And I've got the money, too. Three hundred dollars—and we leave for the West Monday." ! “Whoop!"” shouted Charley, spring- ing upon his feet and trying to em- brace the doorkeeper. But that func- tionary had discreetly withdrawn, so Charley kissed the next most acces- sible person—whom he had often kissed before. TO DRILL HOLES IN GLASS Copper Wire With a Mixture of Emery and Oil, Will Do the Work Well and Quickly. = “This {s my a satisfactory holes in glass: Take a piece of straight copper the size of the hole that it is required to drill. The tubing should have a wall of one-thirty-second of an inch or more in thickness, depending upon the diameter. The tube is set up in & drill chuck and driven at a speed cor- responding to that of a twist drill of the same size. The tube is fed down on to the glass with an intermittent movement, and a mixture of emery and oil is dropped on to the glass at the point where the hole is to be | drilled. After a ring has been cut in the glass on one side the work is turned over and the drilling com- pleted from the opposite side. This | will prevent chipping the glass when the drill nears the opposite side. The copper tubing is soft, so that it holds the emery, and as copper is an excel- | lent conductor of heat it draws the heat away from the glass, preventing it from being cracked. An idea of the rapldity with which holes can be drilled in this way may be gathered from the fact that a five-sixteenths- inch hole can be drilled through an ordinary sheet of window glass in seven minutes.

' this summer vacation for a whole year ! 1 asked her about it she told me that Just as she was ready to go her sis- | ter's children were both taken sick “I suppose she thought it was her gently. “But when Bertha was sick last win- . ter it was no one’s duty to take care of her and she had to go to the hos- pital,” argued the observing girl. “The worst of the present case is that as soon as the children were well her sister left them in care of an aunt while she went to the country for a rest and Bertha came back to the of- fice all tired out to work another year.” i “That was hard,” agreed the placid girl, sympathetically. “Then there was Doris Thompson, | who kept house for her brother Jack. | Tt was dreadfully hard for Doris to | work downtown all day and take care I of the flat, too. But she Insisted that ! both she and Jack neded a home, al- | though we all knew she did it more for Jack's sake than her own. When Jack was married she fully expected to make her home with them, but they gave her to understand that mar- themselves. However, they suddenly changed thefr minds when the twins arrived, and then it immediately be- came Doris’ duty to live with them. “I remember how rorry we all felt for Mrs. Robinson when Alice mar- ried. She was the only child and had been her mother's constant com- panion. They had always declared they would never be separated, but that when Allce married she would live with them in the big house. But she wedded a poor man and decided in favor of love in a cottage. Her mother and father declared she was quite right and fought down their loneliness as best they could. But when she had three children to take care of and could not afford a maid Alice came to the conclusion that it was a shame for mother to be alone in that big house, and accordingly moved her family dver. “There also was Aunt Janet Long, ‘who brought up a family of nieces and nephews. Not because she was able to do so financially, but because as she bad no husband or children all the relatives considered it her duty to) do 80 and she, poor weak soul, gave up her life to the task. Now they're all married and, of course, could not think of having their home invaded by an old mald aunt who has ‘ways, 80 she lives alone. But whenever there are sick headaches, extra work or ba- bles Aunt Janet {8 sent for post haste ond never fails to respond. “You remember that spoiled girl, Nellle Mayne, who in all her life never thought of doing an unselfish act for anyone Because she was pret- ty »nd insisted on being petted and| having her own way she always had the best of everything at home and her brothers and sisters all had to give up to her. They expected great things of ber and were heartbroken when she ran away and married a good-for-nothing young scamp who had nothing to recommend him but a hand. some face. Now they have allowed themselves the luxury of a large fam- 1ly of babies that they cannot support, and it becomes everyone's imperative duty to help them out. “Of course.” pursued the observing irl“l am fully aware that married people are much better off by them- selves. At the same time it seems a bit one-sided and rather unfair to their relatives to let it be known that since they have each other everyone else is an outsider and must expect nothing from them, but as soon as they need aspistrnce their people must fall over one another to be the first om the spot.” “What 1s to be done about it?” the placid one inquired. “Nothing at all,” and the observing girl dismissed the subject with a shrug.
