Matt'ahad a fiery temper, but that was
her worst fault. When she married
Marsh Hunter, pooplseaid,
'.She'll make bis Ufa a warm business for
him."
Hut Matti,', thought differently.
'I'll hhow them what a triumph of love
will work. I'll loach tsm I'm uut the
vixen I seem.'
And an she married III in, Jlie welding
was a very pleaaant affair-antnethlng to
look liaca to as long ail they lived. Mat
tio looked yery sweat in bar new white
Swiss. Hor long, Jntty curls trembled
.on .noon iu mo uriiuani iignr, ner oyes
spsrkled like twin stirs, and ber soft
chie'is W re mantled in softer blushes as
she leaned trustingly on the strong .arm
ui tne si. iwart man wop .was to be uor
guard and itulile tlirougli l.'lo.
The hoiioymiwn wac' rich with the
pleamres of new marrlei life to tho hum
ble pair, but the time soon came when the
bride must leave the old roof-tren for the
n t led realities of a uiome of her own.
This was the first sorr iw the trial of
leaving houio and mother but It was
fueling, for in the exekentpnt of 'aettlng
uu' b iliaekeepino; In the wbltti eolHue "n
8Uire RlHckburns's farm, ' the little
a irrow was dr owned.
It was yery.f innv, and Marsh lanehel
and Mettle langhn I, when Just they Ijv i
sal doyn,to tho little new table and ale
tho yiands prepared by Mattio's own
hands.
Kyerything was new and strangoly
sweet. JOverytblng went on nlrwly. ami
Mattln was triumphant. But all tiiiniza
earthly muat ckanije. Tlie wea'hnr grew
warm ami tlie Kitchen hot, and one of the
hottest duyii of the se isoii Maltie bad the
lieadaeho, and ttM supper must bo ready
at five oYlock. Mattie tried to get it
roadr, but burned her wrietj then alia
burned the bread. Then alio looked at
the clock, and saw that It had a'onnet.
and looking out at the door eke saw
Marsh,
'is supper ready.?' he asked, and she
hi uried out something, and they bad tbsir
first quarrel.
'Ob, dear me, the first n "arret. How
sorry it made Ihn noor 1 it tip woman.
ltut .Murali looked eullen, and wext olT
without kissing her. They uevor taik i
i list qunrrbl over simply bacausa tliov
wore both loo proud lo broach the sub
ject. After that quarrela came ofton.r
anil easier. 'I ber did not mean to qir-
rei, diii sntnenow angry words would
cio up.
After awhile a little boy came to their
bouaebold, ansl Hp eemed for a month nr
iwu a gouu ueai use ine wen remem
bered honey-moon; but Mattls'a wretched
temper would fly to pieces again, and the
happiness was apollod.
It's cutlous we .'an't set along without
so much U3rreiiiig,' said Marsh, one
Winter day.
Mattie felt the teara In bar eves In a
moment, and lit r heart s ifionod towards
Marsh, and sbe was about to confess ber
failings and'aak foriironus. wbsit be
continue 1
'It's all your hateful tamper. Mst'.le
yon know it Is.'
Tbat was ennueh, anil what Via meant
te bea reconciliaiiou was simply another
quarrel.
'Ob, dear me; it is sr.y wretched temper
1 know it is,' sobbsl Ma lie, alter
Marsh went out; 'but b needn't have
said so.
'If I only wasn't se blunt,' said Marsh
to himself with a sigh,
8o tilings went Irom bad to worse.
Little mlsti'kts were imagined into terri
ble wrong.
Tho neighbors ha 1 their ft i I of gossip
about the matter, and finally, one day.
when Maiali was away, Mattie thought
the thing over. '
'Iain a wretched Utile nuisance,'.
said mentally; ! don't know why Ian
o either, liutji can not help li!' a' e said
do psirlnglv, her eves Ailing with tears.
'I've a great ii.lhd to tsku Neddie and go
home, and Hlav there. My shame ouldi.'t
be any greater than it is.'
Hbj" clasped the baby clcso In ber arms;
and the leara fell fast nu bis otnlv had.
Uor heart suemed bursting within her,
but she wrappi'tl the child In Imr ahawi.
and with a quickened slep she fhd the
plaueand bun lad auross tho an iw.jov
in nil l)elds to tier mother's.
'aVhaljiihe matte-, clnM?' asked Lor
mother, as Ma' lie, 'pale and shivering, ap.
poared nl tho door,
'Uj.a't ask me, tnntt.er,' sobbed the
wreieUed little womsn.
'You ain't left boiiitif'
'Ys, mother, forever.'
'ponTasy that to in'. Yu shall go
liaok this instant,' said her m nhor, think
f the scandal that was sure t lol low such
a proceeding by her miserable daughter.
'Oh, don't mother,' aud Mattie looked
the picture of despair.
Tell iue ah nit it, my child, said the
mother, melted into lendsrne-s by the
looi.
Then Mattie. through ber tsars, told her
mother all, and end.d with those pitiful
words '
'Bui, oh, mother, I do lpve .blm, the
f.ttlier of my -cblld I love him but he
doesn't uuderaland hie. If be could but
tin Ims'.snd mi f and aba fell sojblilft- be

'Let mo ad v Iso you, my child,' said
the mother, softly stroking her daughter's
ir'ossy hair. 'I've passed through it all,
and I'll toll you a aeoret. There la almoat

and tell him you are aorrv, anil I know
that he will not only forgive you, but will
beg you to forgive hlwi. The feour tbat

of a Utile ina'ane In rry own life.'
And her moiher tol l of one of those

story ended an pleasantly that it soothed
the tempest iu the breast of the hcartsiok
daughter.
Alter lbs story was dono, tysjtie stilt
kneeled, resting her tired toad on her
mother's kneo. Her mother stroked her
glossy bair in silence for a quarter 0 a
liMir, but Mattie'! thoughts were busy.
Suddenly the arose, took her child into
her arms and rapped it close in her
shawl, and prepared to go.
'Where art you going, my child ?' asked
ber mother.
'To make my confession,' answered
Mattie, through ber tears.
'Heaven blnsa youP aald her moiher.
Wben Marsh Hunter oame home that
night a pretty s'oone met his view. The
fire was burning brightly on the hearth,
aud before it stood Mattio, dressed In a
neat calico wrapper with snowy collar
and cull's, and a scarlet brow of ribbon at
bar throat. Babysat on bis pallet before
tUie fire crowing lustily, aud beating the

Supper wis on the tabl, and the tia
was steaming en the hearth, Mratl was

went Uraight to the pallet and coins

went ami knelt there, too, determined to
make her contention., but she did not
know how to commenef. It was very
easy to think ot beforehand, but when

Their eyes met, and each ssw Ibn ten

sobbing on his breast, while baby looked
on in amaxement. From tbat hour they
wore the happiest of couples,
