CONQUERING . A HUSBAND. There were people 'enough to envy Melli- cent flaughton when she was married tc Radcliffe Gates. She was only a district school teacher, at so much per month, with- out home or parents, He was a wealthy banker who appearid to have nothing els. on earth to do but to indulge his whims anc. caprices to their utmost bent, and the wo ie in general announced its diction that Haughton had done uncommonly well 5 herself. She was dressed ina loose white cambric wrapper, looped and buttoned with blue, and a single pearl arrow upheld the shining masses of ber lovely bair. Her eyes - were deep liquid hazel ; her complexion as soft and radiant as the dimpled ide of an early peach and the livtle kid-slippered foot 'that patted the velvet ottoman beneath was as perfectas the sculptor could have wished it. Mr Gates from his side of - the demask draped table eyed her with the complacent gaze of proprictorship, She was his wife. -- He liked ber to look well just as he wanted his horse properly groonfed, and his conser- vatories kept in order; and he troubled bim- self very little about the shadow of her brow 'I'm in earnest, Radcliffe I' she said with emphasis. 'So I supposed, Mrs Gates,' said her hus- band leisurely folding his paper--a sign that the news within was thoroughly exhausted-- x0 I supposed. But it is not at all worth while to allow y Lomelf to get excited. When I say a thing Mrs Gates I generally mean it. And TI repeat--if yon need money for any sensible purposes, T shall be most «willing "aud happy to accommodate you.'

' Mrs. Gates |' he ejaculated, ¢ The same sir,' said Millicent. May I venture to inquire---." ¢ Oh, yes, said Milly; 'you may inquire a8 much as you please. I neededa littl money, and I am earning it, ' Sé6 how much Lhave already I' and she triumphantly dis- played her roll of crumpled stamps. ¢ The strawberries were all my own--sent to me by old Mrs. Peabody ;and I'm selling them to get an income of my own,' the streets ?! Milly made a second courtesy. ¢ Extreme nececssities justify extreme measures, Mr, Gates,. she said, saucially. ¢1 earned my own living before I saw you and I can again.'

So Mr. and Mrs. Gates went home; and that evening the banker agreed 10 make hix wife a regular allowaace of so much per week to be paid down on Monday morning at the breakfast table. ¢ But we'll have no more sclling straw- berries," said Mr. Gates, nervously. ¢ To be sure not,' said Milly.

The money is all mine and I mean to keep it Milly sat down again, twisting her pocket handkerchief around and around. She was not prepared with an immediate answer, «And now, Mrs. Gates,' said the banker af- ter a moment or two of overwhemling | silence, * if you'll be good cnough to stitch | that button on my glove, I'll go down town.
