Ills general actions were those of i
youth of eighteen undergoing his first
case of hive. The upshot of It was
that when these two became eirgnged
Miss Moore pulled Mr. Trumbull

made him dunce to her fiddling us
Milled her capricious and chuuglu
niooils. Matrimony louiul the same
condition of affairs. J'.vory domestic
lines! ion was derided by Mrs. Trum
bull, no matter whether It was the
choice of an apartment or the selection
in' a new coffee grinder. Mr. Truin
bull, being si ill in a state of blinding
.'ilVciiiiiii and admiration for the little
girl of twenty, whom he had wood and
won, let her b.uc her way, with the
result that lie was being henpecked to
the qllccll's taste.
Hut as the years went by. ns the
yours have a way of doing. Mr. Truin
bull gradually awakened to the one
sided state of affairs. Mrs. Trumbull,
being selfish and possessing a thistle
down iiitclh-rl, fancied that it would
ik t do to h i Mr. Trumbull know that
she was at all fund of lilm. Some old
lady had told her once that when a
limn knows a woman loves him his af
fiction becomes chilled like whipped
cream in an ice du st. So she stuck
tip her nose-It stuck tip of Its own
accord by the way- and Went her us
1 1 : 1 1 pace of bullyragging and worrying
him. She would do this, she would
do lhal wh.it John thought didn't
m.-iijcr.
Iiui. as said before, a change finally
came over .luhn's heart, lie still con
sidered thai dainty wife of his quite
the sinarti si. cleverest woniati In the
worlii. but. strange to say, he was
Incoming aware of her peculiar pow
ers ni' ilietating and laying down the
law. John was quid and Inoffensive
nud jtit the kind of man that offers
splendid opportunities for the Woman
wiili a will of her own. lr a long
time Mrs. John did Hot observe that
her husband's substantial admiration
was grow ing thin, almost t a shadow.
I'.ni when she did reali.e it, the blow
was Mime! hing fearful. It had been
her opinion that even though she were
to sell his best clothes to the rag man
or burn tin- house up or turn his hair
while wiih her everlasting criticisms
John would ever remain the same
faithful, adoring, enduring.
Hi" inoruiiig John didn't kiss his
wile when he went downtown to
business. She moped and wept nml
scolded th baby and the kitchen maid,
and ih 'I. deciiloil she didn't care. From
thai lime on tilings went from bad to
worse ami from worse to even worse
than that, time in a great while
when J din's old time vision of love
for his w ife came up he Would lake
her in his arms anil tell her that she
was the prettiest tiling In the World,
following bet- old time tactics, Mrs.
John would in return comment on his
bad choice of a necktie or let loose the
plei-ani in t. .1111:1 1 ii.ii that his collar
was soiled on the edge. John's heart
would sink . ml he would trump off to
work feeling like an orphan asylum
in a derby hat and creased trousers.
As it was not John's nature to war
against ;iny one, he simply kept him
sell' out of Mrs. John's way. Sunday
aiieriiooiis he went out for n walls.
Sometimes lie went over to the North
Side to s -e an old college chttin of his.
These trips were his only dissipations.
on Sunday afternoon, when he and
his old friend were discussing some
particular exciting college scrimmage
tli.H had taken place iifteeu years
hack, the telephone bell rang, and a
woman's voice begged to sponk to Mr.
Trumbull He went to the 'phone.
"Is that you. IJertriide?"
'Yes, John. And won't you come
home, please. I let Sadie take baby
over to ymir mother's, nud evcrylHtdy
In the building Is out and Tm having
the lidgcts. I don't know what I am
scared about, but I'm just nervous."
"All right, dear." said John, and
home he went. Hot stopping long
enough to finish up the recollections
of 1 lie college tight.
At home he found his wife silting
curled up on a little settee looking
very much as site had looked when
live years before he had Itegged and
entreated and kissed her Into saying
"Yes." She was twisting her hand
kerchief into little wads autl ropes,
ami he knew by that that she was
disuacteil at, out something.
"I know you think I'm silly to feel
this way when ii's mil even twilight
yet. Hut 1 know positively thai some
body tried tie- kitchen whitlows while
k wa lyiuu duuu, nud 1 Ju.t vouklu't
get over It. 1 nlwnys was nfraltl of
burglars or ghosts." Ami then she
had n nervous chill.
John said nothing, lie took out a
copy of Spencer and lighted 11 cigar.
After a time the baby was brought
home mid put to bed. Mrs. Trumbull
had recovered from her nervousness
nml wns pecking out from behind a
window shade listening to n conversa
tion thnt was going 011 in the court.
The servant employed by the fam
ily In the apartment Just below the
Trumbull's abode was in the lint oppo
site telling the occupants of that place
that nlie was unable to get luto the
house.
"I enn't turn the key, and if you
don't mind, ma'am, I'll go through
your window."
The people didn't mind at nil. They
even held the girl's parasol ami pock
et book while she clambered from one
whitlow sill to the other.
Then came a crash. It was n fer
rule crash. Had the girl fallen into
the eourt? No. The sounds that
enine from the floor below were unlike
those heard when Ileiitlriek Hudson
played ninepins in the Adirondack.
At that point came a shriek, such as
the stage heroine gives vent to when
the villain gels after her with it
butcher knife. II was sickening.
Mrs. Trumbull waited half 11 second,
then stuck her head out of the win
dow, and with trio help of half a
dozen other feminine voices culled:
"Mary! Mary! What's the matter?"
The reply wns a volley of sobs Mini
squeals winding up with: "The Hal's
been rubbed!"
Mr. Trumbull was surprised to see
his wife Willi hair streaming down
her back and hands clutching the
folds of a bath I'ohe, go shooting
through the library out into the hall
and down the stairs.
In ten minutes she returned. IT or
eyes were big and black and scared.
Ilef teeth were chaiterin
and her
hands were busy with each other. She
curled up on tie divan and looked at
her husband.
"John, what do you think? The
Smith's Hat has been robbed and
there's hardly a scrap of anything
left. They came through the kitchen
window. They even took some I'cr-
sian rugs nud Mrs. Smith's sealskin.
And the silver's nil gone, and the
house oh. you Just should see It! It's
knee deep with the things that they've
pulled out (f the dressers and ward
robes!"
John continued to rend his S pence '.
"That's too bad." lie said.
Silence of live tuliiiilcs.
'John.'' she spoke, very sofily.
"Yes?" he asked, not looking up from
Spencer.
John, do yovi know I'd Just be
seared stiff If you wcrvn'l here."
John smiled sadly.
"You won't go off on that hunt ins
trip, will you?"
"Wcll-llll." he drawled uncertainly.
"I Just won't let you. now. They
might come in ami take my caudle-
stick, or 1 he baby, or my grandmoth
er's set of china. And I'm not a bit

lie walked back and I'mili through
their bit of Hat ami held his head up
high. Then he sat down beside thai
little tyrant of 11 wife and looked her
in the eyes.
She giggled hysterically and run her
fingers across his moustache, just as
he used to do wlteii pom- John was
so crazy with love for her that she
otild have pulled out every hair of
his head ami he'd never have known
it.
"Dear," John said softly, "1 never

Cod bless that man that stole those

When the warm weather of spring

Hie country compete with each oilier
in laying eggs, and the receipts inuhi
ply so rapidly that the markets would
be completely overwhelmed in every
city if it were not for the cold storage
houses, which absorb a large propor

when the hens are on strike because of

Ill concluding the report on Hie .Ii
etary studies the authors make this
interesting observation:
specially large proportion of
protein observed in the dielaiy slud
ies of the iinivci'sily hoat clews, of
football team, of the professional alb
lete and of the pugilist, as compared
with the diciary si tidies of college
men with ordinary exercise, and with
ordinary families of w orkingm. n and
professional men. accord well with aj
view not uncommon of late among j
I'hy siologisls. According to this v iew '
men who perform continued muscular
laoiir. even if it is aeiive enough to;
make the total amount large, do mil j
reptile especially large amounts ,,f ;
prot. in in their food so long ns they!
undergo no special mental si rji in or ,
muscular fatigue, Ihe principal te-i
qulrcriipnts being an nbundant supply
of easily digested food material.
"On the contrary, when a man or
animal must perform intense muscu
lar work fur a shori period of time,
and Is therefore under more or less
nervous ns well as muscular strain,
a considerably larger supply of pro
tein seeuii to be required than under
normal conditions of slow, long eon
tinned work. In other words, if a
large nmotint of work must be done
in a short time a considerable excess
of protein is required in the food.
