I II jr HOPKWIXL HEPRI'RN. 1 "You know I can't go. Burton. I'm right In tho midst of housecleaning, wil n " *Lea»'j your old housecleaning, and j come along." "Leave my housecleaning! What are you thinking of? Do you suppose I could go away with my house in this condition and enjoy myself?" "I don't see why not. It won't hurt anybody or anything, and this is tha first outing of tho Engineers' Club Aince our marriage—and you know I can't go without you— "You don't have t.rt stay at homo on my account, I'm' sure. What would people say If I neglected my Douse as you propose "What do you . -•ople dOi id may u / ». v # ...w. -•* you «uggent I should at least appear to do? Married six months, and already away for a good time, and leaving her behind! You'd bo proud to save Bitch a husband —'brute,' people would call him." "Well, 1 suppose you'd be proud to havo a wife that everybody called a iloven." The voices were becoming gradually more sharp, the words more unpleasant to tho ear. "What do I care what people call you? I think you might consider my pleasure once in a while." "Consider your pleasure! Just as If 1 wasn't slaving here from momins to night trying to keep this house clean for you to live in, cooking your meals, darning your stockings, doing everything a woman can to make a man comfortable! And this is all the thanks I get." Tears were coining by this time, and Burton Stevens hated*tears. With ft great appearance of calmness, he said: "I certainly never would have marrlod you if 1 had supposed it would make you so miserable." "Well, I wish you never had," was • he quick retort. "I supposed I was marrying a man of who would appreciate all I did for him. but as it is, 1 wish I'd .never seen you ." This was a little more than Stevens could stand. Ho rose nbtuptly from the table, grabbed his hat aud coat as he rushed through tho hall, and passed on out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Whereupon Genevieve dried her eyes) and sat bark In her chair, "to think," as she .ailed It, but in reality to give way to ,'umiiltuous feelings that surged over her In recurrent waves. Tills was what they had come to aTter just six months of married life! She had known that feelings changed after marriage, but not like this— not so soon as this. Where was all the love and devotion that had transformed their lives a few months be- Oiro? Once she had thought that to servo Burton's breakfast would raise her to tho seventh heaven of delight. Well, she did enjoy that still. But he was so unappreclative. He seemed not to understand how she slaved— yes, stayed was the only proper word —from Hie time ho left In the morning until he came back at night to keep their little nest, as ho had once called it, spotlessly ,cleM) He was always coming home and wanting her to go off with him on somo lack, snd lie never failed to be 'frut «ut when she could not go. <He ought to appreciate her self-Wcrlflce, hut he never did. He ought to be thimkful that his wife was a good housekeeper, but he was not. Was it worth while, after all|» Had *>e not been wiser to refuse  * she had done all the other,*, and single, free to live her own Eltei ~eti an)j appreciated adueeond f,er own fa '°|y? charming , tears of self-p'1"1 came If things conti .ued as Burton w»ould get t iu time Would they have to go on living together and hating each other, or would Burton somo day get a tilvorce? She shuddered at the thought. Divorces | wero getting more and more common, but she had been taught to shun the very thought of them as sho would a plague. But she must get her work done if her heart broke. The woman would soon bo there to go on with the cleaning, and she must bo ready for her. Burton did not come home to dinner. A perfunctory telephone message Informer"® or that he would be detained at ore" office until late in tho evening® y°u -ivleve nursed her | grievance, have 8(- not her bright, cheery self „ ♦> sat '",11- * —m " pressed by *«r chilly" po> mess. Burton, In his turn, began r,4 wonder if "the boys" vere right when they told ( him that "itarriage didn't pay." The sama thought persisted In , Genovieve's mind for a week. When- , ever she went out to an afternoon . social gathering, only the "bacholor , maids" seemed to bo free to enjoy themselves. They talked about par- , ties and flowers and drives and picnics; but the others discussed the trials of mnrricd life, the difficulties of getting help, the uuappreclatlveness of men In general, and certain husbands In particular, and the aw- , fill drudgery Involved in keeping a house. Genevieve had not, as yet, reached the point of taking part in theso discussions; she still kept up what sho bitterly called to herself "the fiction" of being .a happy bride, j Hut when she thought of the years stretching before her, laden with this awful burden of drudgery that apparently oppressed every woman with a home to look after, she wanted to scream. How could she ever stand it? How could she give up all her dreams of happiness with Burton? They had planned to read together, she was to keep up her music and play and sing for him; they had talked of rides and walks in the summer to come, when they were to be "always together." But even now she was too tired, when evening came, to read, and went to sleep In five minutes if Burton tried to read to her. She hadn't found a minute for practicing In the last throo weeks. Would things be any better when summer came, or would she havo to give up all those plans as well? Honestly, what was the use of being married? They had had ever so much more fun when th«y were engaged—and, yes. the? had Been more of each other thar they were doing now. Burton gpenl so many of his evenings at the offloi that she seldom had more than a few hurried wordg with him at the break fast table. At first, Oenevieve had been glad when he stayed down town, and she could go to bed early. But as time went by, she realized that they wert growing farther and farther apart What would the end be? Burton, too, seemed to be unhappy, His face showed her that, and sht waß compelled to admit that her husband was suffering as well. What would be the solution of their problem?"Where've you been keeping your- Belf lately, Oenevieve?" asked her father, In his cheery way, finding her in the old home one evening upon hix return from the office. "We've missed you." Genevieve had stayed away bocausc she feared they would discover her unhappiness. Instead of giving the real reason, she said: "I've been too busy, father. Vou know I have all the housework to do alone. ' The swift look of penetration and sadness that her father gave her startled her. "Come here, little girl. Sit on my knee once more, and let's have one of our old-time confabs." Then with his arm about her waist iri the old, loving way, ho began: "Been out with Burton much lately?" "No, father, he seems to be too busy, and I don't know as I mind that as I'm generally too tired." "Why weren't you at the Engineers' banquet? You went last year, and Burton has never missed It before, I've b*en told." "I was too dead tired. I was right in the midst of housecleanlng week, and—" "Didn't you know when the banluet was going to be?" "Yes, but I had to take the woman ihen or I couldn't get her until the vary last of May." "Would It have hurt the house to jo a month longer?" "No, but father, I didn't want peolo saying—" Fat' JVMy jUf -u rtn ypy.rurise a re *bs><v?, "B4' the work?" "Do yju care more about work han you do about Burton? My daring, listen to a few words of wisdom 'rom your wise old father. Burton lldn'.t marry you because he wanted i housekeeper; he married you be•auso ho wanted a companion, a com-iide. Doubtless he'd ge* some one o do the work If he could." "He's always wanted to get a girl 'or me. but It seems an extravagance J when hiß salary's so low and 1 am perfectly able to do the work." "But you make him pay Just the tame and something worth infinitely more to him than money. Is it rair?" "Do you think we ought to have a Slrl?" "Not necessarily. Have you ever studied tho question of 'wise neglect?' " "But, father, Just think what i'veryone would say, If—* "Do you really love your husband? Or Is pride more to you than love? Let me whisper a secret in your car. 'What people say' should never come between two people who love each other. Sacrifice your pride—Just a little of It—to your husband's happiness."Genevieve was silent. And after a moment her father went on. very this time. "My dear. I have seen many marriages spoiled by this fetish of housework. A man always prefers his wife's company to a spotless house. Just think about, that seriously, dear, child." Genevieve did think about It. His j words sank deep into her heart, until finally she decided to act upon them. She could not make a great change at once, but little by little she learned ■ to eliminate jjthe unnecessary tblng. : A simpler b'joakfast, she found, enabled her to appear at the table with i an unflusbc.

Tank S Metzel and Will O. Metzel, i natives of Madison Couuty and prom- f inent as hunters and atockmen, have recently completed two remarkable t hunting trips. On one they secured f; five deer within a few hours without a going more than a half dozen miles a from their home ranch. On the first trip they went elk r hunting In the rugged mountains dl- „ viding the Madison Valley from the Ituby. There the mountains average „ 8000 feet In height, and deer, elk, v mountain sheep and mountain llonn g live In contentment save when some j mighty hunter comes along and dls- 8: turbs their quietude. The hunt was c successful, and both Metzels brought y back big bull elks. The elk secured 0 by Frank Metzel had a spread of ant- w lers of more than eighty Inches. At r| the risk of getting a call down as a nature fakir, Mr. Metzel told of his in slaying this mighty .. bull. <»" "We went Into camp close to the lead of Hell Roaring Creek, which !* tome of the tenderfeet are now\try- J! ng to name Elk River," he said. "We ?. lunted for two or three days without ? nuch success, seeing a large number if tracks but only an occasional ?' !ronße or snowshoe rabbit for our >alns. tr "One afternoon, after 1 had had a j" rultlesa hunt and came back to camp, decided I would prospect a park Yhlch I could see about two miles rom camp and which looked good *, or elk.
