ARMSTRONG ************************** Edward Ingersoll married when be was twenty-two and lived happily with his wile for eleven years, when she died without having borne him chill• dren. In three years he married a sec- ond wife, who was the same age as his first at the time of his first marriage. Whether the second Mrs. Ingersoll was more wayward than the first Iliad been at the time of the first marriage Is a question, Perhaps if Ingersoll had remained twenty-two he would have got on more easily with the second. As it was, she seemed very restive to him. He realized that she was young and needed to be carefully handled. But With all his patience and gentleness she showed an increased disposition to be fretful. This led to occasional up - braidings on her part, which were met with efforts to soothe her on her hus- band's part. He came home one evening from business to and her gone. He was as- tonished, disappointed. After the first shock he began to con- sider what course to pursue in the premises. He had little faith in sever- ity, realizing that it would be more likely to widen the breach than to heal it. On the other hand, if he begged his wife to return to him he would prob- ably be obliged to continue to be a beg- gar. And yet there did not seem to be any middle course unless he should leave her to see her error and return to him of her own accord. This last course he determined upon, but re- solved to take advantage of any cur- rent they might drift into whereby he might facilitate their reunion. He wait- ed a few days for her to return, or at least communicate with him, but she did neither. He knew she was at her former home, in which she had been born and was now petted and sympa- thized with by all her family, being admirably situated to stand a long siege. He wrote her that in consequence of her having left him with no housekeep- er it would be necessary for him to Gra to sew- • GAPE A SHRIEK AND P] LD INTO HER It'A- THEB's AIMS. procure one. Since she would doubt - i, .,s not care to have a woman come Pato the house to find her effects ex- posed he suggested that she come and put away such articles as she would prefer should not fall into other bands. If she did not care to come herself she might send some one to act for her. If Ingersoll intended to get her back with a view to keeping her the ruse failed. She wrote him that she would send her sister Edith and asked when it would be convenient for him to have her come. He replied that as soon as he could find a housekeeper he would let her know. Then Edith might come, put away such things as were to be put away and turn over the house to the new manager. ,The words new manager had an unpleasant sound to Mrs. Ingersoll, but as she pictured some elderly woman of low degree taking care of the house of Which she bad been the mistress she managed 'to swallow the pili. In due time a note came stating that a housekeeper had been engaged and would enter upon her duties the next evening. Mrs. Ingersoll sent her sister during the afternoon of the day mentioned In order that after she had put the things away she might have a look at the housekeeper and report. When 1111m Edith Martin had locked up everything according to her sister's instructions she sat down and waited for the new housekeeper, ostensibly to .give her certain information, but really to see what kind of a creature she might be. Presently she heard a latchkey at work in the front door and going- into the hall met a woman. "Pardon me," said Edith. "I thought it was the holt housekeeper." "I aft the new housekeeper." "Yott?" "Yes. You are Miss Martin, f sup- pose. Mr. Ingersoll told me 1 would probably find you here." Miss Martin gasped for breath. The housekeeper was about twenty-eight years old nud a very beautiful woman, tier hail` was a soft glossy chestnut; her eyes were large liquid ones; her mouth is beat described as kissable. Her manner was fully as attractive as her pers.Qn. Shesilica a veetly on rs1lss Martin and said that If she lwn;l not finished her ;verk ar,o would gladly help her and it she found anything left out that should be locked up she would notify her or Mrs, Ingersoll. Itrsbort, she sent Miss Martin away charmed with her in spite of the lady's disposition to quarrel with her on her sister's account, When !Urs. Ingersoll wall informed that the housekeeper was an attractive woman she sank down in a heap, as if she had been shot. The family gath, ered round her tobrace her up, the stimulant used being reproaches cast upon her husband. "Brute, monster, villain," and similar epithets rattled about the room like pistol balls. The patient did not respond for a time, then suddenly straightened up and called for her hat and coat. "Where are you going, dear?" asked mamma in astonishment. "I'm going to turn that woman out of my house," "I+'or heaven's sake don't. You will meet yourbrute of a husband, and there will be a dreadful scene," said the mother, "You'll make a goose of yourself," put in Miss Edith. "She's very lady- like, and your quarrel is not with her; it's with Edward." "Well, I'll tell him just what lI think of him." "You can do that here," said papa, "and avoid an altercation 'with the housekeeper." "What the dickens do you care who takes care of his house," put in Jitnmie, Mrs. Ingersoll's younger and favorite brother,. "since you don't wish to do it yourself?" "Shut up, Jim. You talk like a fool," retorted Mrs. Ingersoll. "It seems to me," said Nina, "that you are the illogical one. My recom- mendation is for you to either let Edward alone or go back and assume your position as head of his house." "My dear," interposed Mrs. Martin to her husband, "how calls you expect that such a brute will take her back? He has doubtless treated her as he has in order to get her out of the way to make room for this vile woman." At this Mrs. Ingersoll threw up her hands, gave a piercing shriek and fell into her father's arms. This finished the family conclave for the evening Mrs. Ingersoll was put to bed and a sedative administered. She tossed about feverishly till morning, when she weut to sleep, and the household walked about on tiptoe till 10 o'clock, when she awoke to a rener?pl of her misery. There was another family consultation, and she finally determin• ed to go .home and find out the worst. This meant that she wished to know what the introduction of a pretty young woman into her husband's home in lieu of a housekeeper Meant She sent a note to her husband stat Ing that she would meet him at their former home when he returned after business, and she requested tbat his housekeeper be not present. She had. so far recovered her equanimity as to make an excuse for the meeting and did not give away the fact that in case there was nothing in the way involv- ing the housekeeper she was reedy to come down from her high horse and be good. Receiving a favorable reply at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, she went home and found her husband there. Eler first words were: "Who Is this creature who has des• graced herself by"— "Please do not speak so of an esti- mable woman," interrupted Ingersoll. "Is there anything between you and her?" "Anything what?" "Anything wrong." "No; she Is my housekeeper." There was a short silence, at the end. of which Mrs. Ingersoll said: "Edward, I have acted hastily." "You certainly have." "I'm sorry." "That's quite sufficient, sweetheart. I have no desire to humiliate you, but let me tell you that you took a step which in most cases would hare led to crimination, and this would have drawn forth recrimination. 1 chose an entirely different course to show you the folly of your act In doing so I was obliged to take a risk, but must take the chances of our permanent separation"— "Oh, heaven!" she gasped. "Whatever • course I might pursue was fraught with danger." By this time she was .nestling in his arms, and the danger they had incurred had passed. It bad been more than danger; it had been a crisis. But the erisis once passed .the disease Was broken. Mr. Ingersoll informed htr'' that his housekeeper was the wife of one of his intimate friends, who with her hus- band's consent had played the part for iter—or rather their --benefit. She had only been in the house when she had come there to meet Miss' Martin, and her husband was waiting for her out- side. Mrs. Ingersoll went to the telephone and culled un her mother. This is what she said to her: "My husband is the noblest man that ever lived. He has saved us from the horror of a permanent separation, and I love him far better than ever before." "For heaven's sake!" interposed the husband. "Can't you wait till you se0 your mother without informing the world of my virtues through a tele- phone?" While after this crisis Mr. and Mrs Ingersoll had their disagreements, the lady was more cautious and never again "took the bit in her mouth." In deed, as she gained in ezperienee she realized and shuddered at the danger through which they had passed t;ile came niso to admire the coarse her has - band had pursued with t 11 ted that leaving her to infer that her place was or might be suppiie;d was an efficient remedy.

F the millions of dollars that have been spent repairing worn- out, washed-out streets and roads had been used to build more miles of good highways, fewer farmers would now be wasting valuable time and money taking "round -about" routes to town. F IRST cost of an ordinary dirt or macadam road is usually only a "starter." The cost of upkeep soon equals that first cost and there is always an ever-increasing annual expense for repairs. The worst feature of it is that such a road is never a really first-class highway. TN estimating the cost of a road you should include the ex- pense of keeping it in good condition for at least twenty years. If you don't, you're figuring on the first payment for that road, only. And the remaining payments are as certain as taxes. The upkeep cost of concrete roads is practically nothing. Concrete roads are the best roads from the ii>Irat---and the best and cheapest roads at the end of ten, fifteen and twenty years. CONCRETE is the ideal paving' material for streets in small towns as i well as for main highways in the country. Edward N. Hines, Wayne County, Michigan, Road Commissioner, and one of America's foremost authorities on good roads, says: Any community that wants a Rood road, a road that is cheaper for oven a short time under fairly heavy traffics than any other good road, a road that is halm- pensively maintained, a road that is sanitary and dustiest. a road that is runt slippery.a road that affords flood tretctioa for any type of vchleie 365 days tut the year. a road that irk the lone run, say 10, 15, 20 year* and longer, ie the cheapest of all good roads. should investigate that merits of concrete. WRITE for the facts about Concrete highways. When convinced, use your influence to have the roads for which you pay built to last. We have highway experts who will visit any community intending to btiiltl !noir roads and explain just why and how concrete roads are hest and chcapcst.

Recently as a lady in a neighboring township was cleaning a pair of gloves with gasoline, a rag that she threw into the stove ignited the saturated glove and burned her hands badly before she could get them off. It will be some time before she will be able to attend to her household duties. Those who use gasoline can not be too care- ful. A fine of $500 and costs was meted out to A. T.
