of something better yet the coming season they rented a honse in the pleasant part of the city kept a servant and stella wore the handsome clothes which had been provided at the time of her marriage

soon enough but i might never return you know see if you are not book in a day or two with the same old story clarence tnrned quiokly and left her she heard him cross the room and knew he bent over freddys crib and kissed the little sleeper again and again hell come back before hes really gone whispered she to herself goingtoward the door but a turn in the street hid him from her sight he hod gone without bidding her goodbye well weve been married long enough to be done with such nonsense she said by way of consolation yet there was a ter rible pain at her heart she sat still till freddy woke then with a ory of anguish she ran across the hall to the nearest neighbor with please come mrs wilson my baby is dying mrsiwilson came for- though rough in her mariner she was kind in heart he is in a fit she said the moment she saw the child bring me some water and help get off his clothes stella obeyed hold him so till i run home and get pome medicine she said putting him in the bath s uoh women as yon aint fit to be mothers she continued returning with her hands full of bottles i have bo many trials to bear mooned stella nonsense replied mrs j wilson you have a pretty home if it was put in order imusedtoa better young people cant begin where the old ones left off they must make their own homes i never understood it so my sister advised mo never to marry a poor man and so you keep finding fault and com- plaining when your husband is trying in every way to make an honest living it is a wonder you havent driven him to drink long ago but my husband is a good man re plied stella resenting the last part of the speech he has shown himself to be a good man the woman said it in good faith wrap ping freddy in soft flannels and adminis tering a qmeting potion she had been watching the movements of the people ever since they came to live in the house my baby will get well wont he was said pleadingly and the poor thing sobbed again as if her heart would break yes indeed and you will stay with mo through the night forgetting that she was one of those people id stay with you a whole blessed week replied truehearted mrs wilson if i could make you a wife worthy of your husband tell me what i shall do and ill do it willing and without complaining all through the long night while freddy lay between life and death mrs wilson worked over him bravely and told the girl- mother chapters in her own life experiences there were passages over which stella wept bitterly and when morning dawned giving back the child from danger in place of the fickle unreasonable woman there was one ready to meet lifes work with firm purpose and strong heart she tidied up each apartment and in stead of going about in a dowdy wrapper put on a fresh dress arranged her hair be comingly and changed the pucker about her mouth for her own rosy lips youre a pretty little thing mrs wil son told her when she had fastened a knot of blue ribbon in her hair see after baby now ill look in every now and then through the day and tonight will come back to you tour husband will be here to morrow morning yes stella replied with a bright look in her eyes hell be here by 10 oclock after all it was a long time to wait she thought she was so impatient to tell him and she would kiss him as many times as he wished yes indeed she exclaimed joyfully bending over freddys cot well kiss papa a hundred thousand times wont we dear i do wish clarence would come sha kept saying next morning what detains him 1 she continued when the clock was on the btroke of 12 what if and her heart lay like lead in her bosom as she recalled the look she last saw on his face what if he never comes back 1 she mur mured going into her own room mrs wilson she called where is my hus band in an instant the dear good soul was beside her resting a hand tenderly on the aching head truehearted woman she shrank from saying it had been a dreadful night on the sound and that a steamer had collided with the new

and whether her husband is dead or alive i cant saytf when stella opened her eyes again it was nearly night she knew no one about the bed but talked to clarence and freddy and sister belle she was going to help her husband now shecould earn money by teaching musio or painting but for give me for striking and her arms were put up as if to clasp something when she dozed again- late that evening
