It was nearly midnight when the young bride heard the front door softly opened, and as he came up in his stock- ing feet she dried her eyes and deter- mined that the time for action had come, says the Waverly Magazine. “This will never do, George,” she said, with a steely glitter in her eye that sobered him on the instant. “Perhaps I wouldn’t mind it so much in years to come, but our honeymoon is barely over, and here you stay out nearly all night. Unless you promise to stop, Dll go back to my father.” “Forgive me, my dear,” he replied, bracing himself for the supreme effort of his life, for he knew the crisis had come, and upon the result depended whether marriage was to be a failure or a blooming success, “I know my con- duct must seem cruel to you, but that is only because you know so little of men and their ways. All my life I have been accustomed to staying out all night. Ican’t stop suddenly, for the doctor has told me I have heart disease, and that any sudden shock was likely to kill me. That’s why, my dear, t must taper off gradually.” “Forgive me, George,” she sobbed, throwing herself on his breast. “I have been very selfish. I know you try to do what is the best for you. Never again will I scold you, for it would drive me crazy if I knew I was the cause of you killing yourself.” How He Managed. es A young man started out torent a flat, but at every place advertised he was told that he could not have the flat, as chil- dren were considered a nuisance.
