A, MIA The day Silas Dingeo married Maud Ball be declared that clever before hgd he known real happiness, Ile swore that the' anniversary or that blessed day which ended. his bachelor Welt - nose would be• mnor'e Lo' blab than all the lsolidaysin, the calendar' together. , A cynicat friend at lila farewell bach- elor dinner the night before bad said to hini: "Si, I'm sorry f01' you, Tomorrow you go to serve your life long term of regulation, Farewell indeperelenee. Farewell a jolly night nt the club. Farewell cocktails; they'll taiut your breath. Farewell cigars; they'll make the curtains smell, Goodby, Si, The matrlmouial prison doors will soon close behind you." "You dried up old bah," was Btn- gee's reply, "tomorrow will be the hap- piest day of my life. And let me toll you whenever the anniversary of my wedding conies round I'll have some delicate memento for the dear girl who is to furnish that happiuess. ,l shall on that dny remain at house from bust. nese and devote it to celebrating my escape from such crusty old bachelor- hood as you represent." When air, and lairs. Dingee were driven away after the wedding fes- tivities, followed by showers of rice and old shoes, it looked as if Ills prom- ises would be kept. if ever there was a happy man it was Silas Dingee. One year passed.. 81:'. Dingee had been made over by his wife from a bachelor to a married man, Ile had learned to live for some one besides himself. The first anniversary of hie wedding had come round, ebe day that Iva had vowed he would celebrate above all others. As Silas Dingee shrugged on bis over- coat that .morning preparatory to mak- ing a dash for the nearest subway sta- tion his pretty wife spoke from the dining room door. "It Pm not at home when yon come, dear" -- "Going out this afternoon?" inter- rupted Dingee peevishly. "Just to Mrs, Wright's for bridge, honey," she soothed him. "If I'm not here the moment you arrive just get a bite to eat from the refrigerator and readour until y paper a t 1 I come, It won't take me fifteen minutes to get dinner after I arrive—steak and mushrooms, Silas—it's Hilda's afternoon out." "Seems to be always' Hilda's after- noou out and yours, too," grumbled ipingee as he kissed his wife farewell and departed. As he opened his newspaper on the train be was still thinking of his dis- like ofbeing alone. It was one of his pecuiiarities that he was a restless mortal indeed when Maud was away from the apartment. Maud was an inveterate card player and belonged to two bridge clubs and a band of pinochle enthusiasts, On tbo evenings when be knew Maud would be late in coming home Mr, Dingee usually went from bis onice to his club and remain- ed there until his wife's frantic tele• phone messages assured bum that she was home and that dinner was wailing. On such occasions he usually called a taxi and sped home on the wings of love and rubber tired wheels. Today everything went wrong. In the mail he found several misdirected letters, which had been returned to him, One of them was an important matter, which involved the loss of con- siderable money. So he discharged the careless .steneg• r'apher, scolded his chief clerk, scared the office boy into a state of humility and lunched at•his club. After luncheon things went better. lie telephoned to Chicago and found that ho wouldn't lose the money after all. When the .tearful stenographer came for her money he gave her anoth- er trial, and the office boy was em- boldened to ask for a raise in his pay. Whether he received it or not is not part of this tale, but at 4:80, when Mr. Dingee closed his desk, he was feeling in high good humor with him- self and the world. He had quite forgotten all about the lonely apartment he must return to and stopped to buy some violets for Maud. Wille he stood there who should rush up to him with hearty greeting lint Tom Finch, Maud's Bos- ton cousin and a particular chum of Silas Dingee's. "Just going up to your place," re- marked Tom. "Mighty glad to see youl" cried Din. gee heartily. "Maud's out tbis after- noon at some whist bat or other, but she'll be home by 0:30. Wo can bane a bite to eat as soon as we get there." "Good! I'm hungry. Had a little ac- cident coining down. The bent car and ono coach derailed. Nobody hurt, haven't had a bite since 10 this morn- ing," "Man alive, hurry!" Dingee hustled Tom.into a taxi, and they whirled up• town. "It's a now. Maud will be home In, a few minutes," Haid Dingee 08 he opened the door with his latchkey. But the rooms were dark until be switched on the lights and revealed the warm coziness of the place. • "We'll have to forego a bit," said Dingee as they left hats and overeoate la tho hail and entered the dlaiad room• "2'n make Sou a cup oi'cod'e$; hay?" "Just the thing. I'm starved, old man " They entered Hilda's spotless kitchen and investigated the refrigerator. "Cold chicken! Not he'd for a hand, out," commented Tom Float es he pounced on the platter, "What's that, Silas—Makin's of a salad?" "Tes, and here's the mayonnaise, take 'em along, Maud cartaihly bas got some goodies mutt away for tile, Let's try the pastry."

' "Ton dkl," said Silas cheerfully,' ',"Phase nee for dinner," "What is all this food for then?" "Search mo!" retorted Silas, "Rave a piece ()Pails perfectly 'spleudlferous' birthday carie?" Tom Finch looked rather startled:mil laid down knife and. fork, "You are sure—sure it isn't anybody's birthday?" he faltered. Silne meditated, "Not mine or Maud's. It may ha Hilda's or the cat's birthday. They don't count, though. What's that?" "That" proved t0 be the buzzer from the dumbwaiter, aid Silas Dingee has - tater' into the kil:eben and fussed around a bit. ,Presently be returned and sat down again. "Ice •cream," he explained. "Maud's evidently going to have it for dessert. Funny, though, she should have or- dered Buell a quantity." A feeling of apprehension settled over the two men as they consumed the delicious cake, which was rich with fruit. "If ever is tasted a birthday cake"— Tom was begiuulng when Silas Dingee interrupted impatiently. "Slang it all, man, can't you stop croaking? What if we have eaten ev-' ery hangedthing in the house, eh? It's my house, isn't it? I'll eat the ice cream if I want to!" he ended reck- lessly, "Let's save something for ]Maud," grinned Tom Finch as he pushed back his chair. As he spoke the door opened hastily, and Maud Dingee, flushed and rather excited from her hurried trip hems, came in, followed by a remarkably pretty girl with ermine furs snuggled around her neck. "Tom,Finch!" cried Maud, failing on her cousin's shoulder. Aud over his shoulder her eyes surveyed the re- mains of the feast. Silas Dingee looked at his 'wife and saw horror in her gaze. She came for- ward and looked at the remains of the chicken, the evidences of salad, the bare 'half loaf of bread and finally the damaged cake. The girl in the doorway looked on with friendly, amused eyes. "Silas Dingee," shrieked M,ud at last, "what have sou done?" "Had a bite to eat, as you told mo to," retorted Silas defiantly. "But—but--you've"—her voice was close to tears uow—"you've eaten all the refreshments!" "Refreshments for wbnt?" "For my party." "Your party? When?" "'Tonight, goose!" site sobbed angrily. "Didn't you know that this is onr wed- ding anniversary and ft's Polly's birth- day, and I was going to have the love- liest surprise for yen? The Campbells aro coming and the Lanes and the Treats." Silas Dingee was pale, but he held his ground. "How was T to know, Maud?" be ex- plained, "You might have remembered the day," she reproached limn, "L -did," he prevaricated. "Didn't f bring you violets?" Triumphautly he produced the box of dowers. Still Saud eyed him suspiciously. "You often bring those on ordinary oc- casions," she said, but her husband's chagrined face quite melted her heart so that presently she smiled and said It didn't matter and remembered to in troduce Tom to the pretty Polly in the doorway. l8verything turned out beautifully, after all, Dingeo frantically tele- phoned to a' caterer and a florist, and Maud and Polly dashed around and straightened up the rooms t'or the ex- pected company. They ate a hurried meal in the kitch- en, Tom Finch skillfully making sand- wiches for the two girls. It was a most delightful party. Still, Dingee saw there was one tiny cloud which even the sight of Tom's devo- tion to Polly could not lift from his wife's heart. Although he did not ask for an ex- planation, Silas Dingee is quite sure tbat Maud was more hurt because he bad forgotten that it was their wed- ding anniversary than she was over the stolen dinner. However, to be on the safe side, he has, carefully noted on his desk calen- dar the important date for next year, and there isn't any likelihood that ho will forget it, especially as Tom anti Polly have selected the came dare for thelr own wedding.
