They had been married nearly a year and this was their first disagreement! She had been a poor, orphan girl, but Harry Barnes had met her, fallen desper ately m love with her pretty face, wooed and won her. He was an energetic and rapidly rising young lawyer in the thriv ing httle New England village of Fair mont Already he had gathered toget her enough to purchase a pretty little white cottage on the outskirts of the village and:here they lived, happy for awhile, as most young couples are. Then came t fnaaow. -11. Her heart swelled, op, hot with7 anger and jealousy, and seemed to beat like a trip-hammer, ' " The bold ! thing V she exclaimed, mentally, "to look at Harry like that!

When thet meeting was dbmTsscd the stopped a moment at the door to speak to a friend, j She turned just in lime to see Harry handing Mrs. Palmer and her stylish daughter into their handsome carriage, drawn up at the foot of the steps.

After the first little disagreement the pottage home did not seem the same to Harry as before. In some wav therlimn. jng vines over the door seemed to have lost their beauty, and seemed useless and in the way. More than onca he was tempted to tear them down. The sink ing of Ella's pet canary, that had once ;ectned so sweet, annoyed him now. Lverything seemed to go wrong. Harsh words sprang to his lips, and took the. place of loving ones he once used. His wife frcttted him, and seemed incapable k ,'tff anthinff r'?ht. And she went about her day duties with a little heart pain that she kept carefull v concealed 1 mngs were as much changed to her as they were to him. She could scarcely believe Harry to be the same person who had wooed and won her a fPW mni,D o. Jfore than co to once she wnq tmnfd him and ask him tr f;,- 1 - uuiic anyming wroutr. but pride prevented. She hid her pain, he made no attempt to control his selfish ness and each day they drifted further apart. When he came home from his office duties she used to run to meet him. and he would catch her in his arms and kiss her. Once he had delighted to call her pet names; now she was simply "Ella " Once w-hen he had the time that he could no so, he would take her oni on pleasant walks and long drives; but now he had no time to spare.

Why, I admire her good looks, her ladylike manners, and, mosi of all, her even temper." , She laughed disdainfully. "You may laugh as much as you please," said Harry, warmly; " Sadu Palmer is a perfect lady." "A lady!" cried Ella, scornfully. cue is s ooia tning, ana 1 aon t cart 11 she knows I think so. J. she utters another scornful laugh. Harry closed his lips firmly against the angry words that came surging up to them. He clenched his hands tightly behind his back, and walked on in silence. Thus matters progressed for some time, the quarrel growing warmer and warmer,4 with no signs of reconciliation between them. . One day Harry came home at noon, tired, and in a very bad mood. H found his dinner far from being ready. " Hurry up, Ella," he said. "I have a lot of work to do and must hurry back to the office as soon as possible, i don't understand why you should be behind hand to-day." "I have been cleaning, and have had just ajl I could do. I don't seo why you should be in such a hurry to-day. If you can't wait take a lunch." He proceeded to do so, aqd, as he munched the ccld bread and butter, he said : " You are getting a little careless about the meals, Ella. I mu3t have them regular. Sometimes my business is such that I can't spend the time to come home here and wait for a meal to be prepared. You must pay more attention to this matter."

"Very likely," he raid, and was sorry for the words as soon as they were ut tered. He could not stay there longer, and so he hurried away to his office. The long afternoon dragged away very slowly. More than once his thoughts turned to his little yellow-haired wife, flnd he wandered if his harsh words had hurt her very much. It was very late when he finished his work, put away the scattered papers, and hurried home to supper.

He saw them' all then his faults and his wrong-doings. He aroused himself. The pale moon was up, snd the evening .breezes were whispering among the vines .and flowers above his head. " Where can she be?" he paid. "I must rind her." He thought she might be at Saul Bond's, and started out across the fioiia to make his way thither. This "short cut" led him through the village grave yard. He hurried forward with anxious haste, picking his way among the graves to lind his dear little wife. Suddenly he paused. Leaning against the white headstone of one of the graves was a dark form. The grave was that of Ella's mother, and instinct told him that the dark form was that of Ella. She moved and distinctly he heard these words: ' "Oh, mother! -mother ! I am So un happy! so unhappy! He was so kind once, but I cannot please him now. He docs not love me any more.

(Jcrmain was fishing for mackerel on the canning factory wharf, when his bait went under with a ierk. It seemed so like a mackerel bite that ho essayed to land his game in mackerel style. The re sistance offered and the immediate ap pearance of the silver-coated monster, who broke the water and threw himself into the air only to dive back to the deep, showed that a tarpon was hooked. The lad held on to the nole like m-im death andyelled. Messrs.

To get the monster on the pier was the next question. As he lay supinely on his side Jack Craig skinned down one of the posts and inserted a big hook in his gills. This movement of Craig's resulted in a retaliatory movement on the part of the fish, who gave what old whalers have de scribed as the death flurry, and Craig was struck on the head by the end of the'lish's tail, which for a moment stunned him Upon his recovery the parties pulled the granu carcn upon the pier.

Not only are all these regula tions enforced on the down line, but on the up line also it is commanded that drivers must reduce their speed to ten minutes an hour and on no account open the whistle when passing her Majesty's train. Furthermore, no passenger trains are permitted to arrive or even ,pass through the stations while the Queen's train is stopping at such-stations for re freshments, or to chauge engines. The passengers arriving at Perth after traveling all nieht are frequently de tained for over an hour on. a siding out side the depot while the Queen is break fasting before they are allowed to alisrht.
