Aunt Marv. you have tola ,me a dozen times that you detest that cat!" " Mrs. Bpud leaned over her traveling bag and tightened a strap, saying ener getically, "Xiece-Mary, a cat's a cat, whether I detest it or not, and I cttn't see it starve." "But, Aunt Mary," protested her niece "helplessly, "I've been years get ting you here, and the next day you hurry home-tfecd an old, whiskerless cat." . Mrs. Spud's eyes smiled, but her lips were firmly set. She tied her bonnet ribbons carefully beneath her chin. "I've noticed," she said, "that a cat's appetite and its whiskers have no con nection." "But there is Uncle Jack," expostu lated her niece, holding up a long fur lined cloak. Mrs. Spud drew it over her shoulders. A, floftened expression enme into her eyes at the name, but her tone was still grim. "Why, child, his patient keeps Jack that busy he will never think of the cat. No; it's my duty to go home. Give my love to John and hand me my umbrella, please." - Later Mrs. Spud's niece explained her aunt's departure to John. "Isn't it horrid?" she cried 'itli tears in her eyes. "Think of that old cat's cutting her first visit down to a day and a night!" John laughed and laid down the carv ing knife. "It isn't the cat, Mary. Re HE LED HER member this la the first time she and Uncle have been aeparated twenty-four hours In their married life." - The reason contained In John's re mark was the truth, bnt Mrs. spua fairly poshing the train along, did not like to admit it because It seemed ac childish. Therefore ahe repeated per sistently to herself that if ahe kept cats sha'owed It t them not to let them starve. ..

"How came you to build a fire in here?" she asked wonderlugly. "I bad a little work to do in there, niy-dear," was all the reply be made. , "WhtJn" asked Mrs. Spud, closing the door.

He paused on the living room thresh old and sold simply, "I think I'll work awhile In the study this evening, my dear." She did not allow herself to speak, but nodded at him brightly. letter her lips set themselves firmly as she hoard the study door close. She felt hurt at I the apparent lack of confidence on her husband's part even In a slight matler, A tear rolled over her ftill rounded cheek.. Then she took herself to task. She rattled the dishes and said aloud to divert her thoughts, "I hope Niece Mary will never learn about that cat. "My dear," c;mie a voice from the study, "arc you speaking?" Slie appeared, her Ir.mriH full of dlRh es, and smiled loyally nt the doctor In the study door opposite. "Yes, Jack. I was speaki)igto myself about well, about Niece Mary." Dr. ' Spud sudled and, closing the do-r, quietly turned the key. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. Mrs. Spud stood bewildered. She lmd never beard that key turned against ber before. She went back to the kitchen and remained .there a long time. .She no longer conversed with herself about the cat But an hour later, when Dr. Spud un locked the study-door aud backed op to the living room stove In his favorite attitude, bis nearsigbted eyes saw an apparently placid Mrs. Spud comfort ably seated In ber big rocker, and while be stood, bis bunds clasped bo bind him. she 'rend the "locals" aloud, as usual. The next morning she awoke early and began wondering with an uncom fortable heaviness of heart whether the study fire would be built that day. It was. Directly after tea Dr. Jack again appeared with his arms full of wood and said In his mild, affectionate voice, "My dear, I think I shall occupy tbe study awhile tonight," and his wife whispered to herself over the dlshpaD, "Why did I go to Niece Mary's 'on New Year's day?" and ber Up quivered pitifully with the whisper. Whatever tbe work was, It proved to be a dally task. Until a warm June sun heated the study Dr. Spud carried bis arm full of kludllng from the wood shed directly after tea. If be no ticed that bis wire gradually busied herself hi other parts of tbe house at that time be made no comment, and tbe subject, after a few weeks, was never mentioned by either. . . ! ' As the year wore Itscif out the peo ple of Shemung begin to remark to each other that at last Mrs. Spud was beginning to show ' her age. If this were true. It was due to the dally turning of the key lu the study door.' That represented the only aire spot her heart held. To Vr. Jack she was the same loyal loving wife that be bad always known. Not a shadow from the study dour did ahe allow to fall aero. ber manner With bim. Otherwise ahe would have scorned herself. . I .

She returned to the living room with quivering lips and sat down in her chair. Then she noticed that the study door was open and the lamp placed on the writing desk was flaring In tlio draft. l'or a long time she sot and watched that lamp- It was ber duty to' removo It, yet her feet almost re fused lo carry her into that room.
