The upshot of It was that when these two became eirgnged Miss Moore pulled Mr. Trumbull in'omhl by his philosophical nose and 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 11 f raid when you're lu re. Honest, I'm not!" John s chest swelled up.

Then he sat down beside thai little tyrant of 11 wife and looked her in the eyes.

When the warm weather of spring nnd summer come Hie hens all over 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 tion of Hie surplus, says the .New York Times, r.eginiiing early in April. Hie receipts of eggs in New York nvcr.-ige between 4,ikmi,immi and ."i.tMMi.iion a day right through the spring and summer, mid prices naturally drop rapidly.

If one should visit any of Hie 1 1 1 storage warehouses in hot weather he would soon ascertain, for How is the season when speculators are purchas ing eggs by the hundreds of Hum sands for future use NYm winter, when the hens are on strike because of cold weather and refuse to lay mole than a few eggs a week, prices will go up rapidly, ami Hie consumers will have to pay something like thirty and forty cents a dozen.

Indeed, thousands of them are broken in transit to 1 he city, and oth ers are cracked in moving from the railroad cars to the stores.

To offset these losses the storage houses have invented all soils of ways to lililize the broken eggs.
