accompanying look perhaps more than the words satis fied Nelson that his young wife was pleased with the appoint ments of their new home They were standing now in their pretty dining room with its crimson carpeted floor and dainty lace curtained window when Mrs attention was attested by the sight of an exquisitely etched decanter and wineglasses on the polished oak sideboard Taking one of the glasses by its slender stem she held it up as she laughingly said This S another of the wedding present that could very probably be lablied for ornamental purposes only An almost imperceptible shade of annoyance passed over Mr Arm i l ages face but he made in gentle though decisive tones There will be no need whatever to label that glassware Ella I pur chased it for service as well as for ornament You purchased it why Nelson can you mean surely our will not be other than a temperance one Of course it will be a temperance home dear but not financially so I am afraid I do not understand you at all and the look of troubled wonderment deepened in the truthful eyes A temperance home but not financially so she re peated again half under her breath Must it be not one thing or the other either a temperance home and that implies the complete banish ment of everything in the form of an intoxicant or the reverse I I art sorry dear we cannot think the same on this question tenderly responded Nelson for he saw his wife was troubled and hurt matter Perhaps it is better we under stand each other at once You know he continued in somewhat rapid tones as if wishing to hurry through with a distasteful subject the house I represent believes in treating although they never said so in as many words it is an established fact nevertheless good solid church members too they are all three of them Last year the rivalry between the travellers as to who would report the largest reached white heai I had the honor of coming out a long way ahead and never did as much treating in my life Why it was only yesterday asked the firm for ten dollars for ttealing purposes during this our opening week I got It and no questions asked and I accept their silence as an My salary raked three hundred dollars at the shewing they appreciate the work done I had hoped to have to our home some of my customers who will be in the city this week and expected that glass ware to be in requisition nor did it occur to me that I would meet with any from my wife he added in somewhat aggrieved tones Oh Nelson can be possible my life has given forth such an uncertain sound on the temperance question you thought I could sanction the of others to that which may enkindle unconquerable appetite in them and through which they may be forever lost Fort an instant tears veiled the brightness of the brown eyes but controlling herself Mrs continued in tones Wont you promise dear you will never use those glasses for that purpose and will make the most inviting chocolate the most tempting cake anything only not that other plan Nelson looking into the sweet face of his wife with its in tensity of longing to visible watered in his decision for an instant then half laughingly said Well Ella dear we will take the cake and choc olate and this will be the seal of the compact and quickly he snapped the frail glasses in two Ella thankful for the one victory achieved but knowing well there was a great conflict ahead with the skill of a general marshalled all her forces and commenced the attack She entreated her husband with a concentration of earnestness give up the dangerous habit of treating Then with the eloquence that bora of the knowledge that our all is at stake our life here our future hereafter she pleaded yea agonized for a promise that he him self would never touch liquor again for she knew If he treated others he must be a like Too womanly to charge Mm with the fact there was undoing that had she known of this before their marriage matters might have been but with marvellous tact and earnestness she pleaded then wept at the appar ent hopelessness of the effort Nelson loving his wife most tenderly most devotedly thought he was proving his love for her by not yielding knowing well the luxuriant home he took her from and wishing to surround hex in like manner with every comfort and really thinking his habit of treating had helped him in his business was immovable Mrs noting this then begged for a years triAi of her plan but even this was denied and after two hours had elapsed all the ground she had gained was the promise that at the end of two years he would join the ranks of the nontreating Then thought Nelson our home and furniture will be of debt and if I must accept a subordinate position and lower salary because my sales are so behind years can better afford to do so Anxiously tremblingly fearfully Armitage looked forward to the of the two years specified Not that she doubted her husband keeping his word she knew a promise was held by him as a most sacred and binding obligation but if it could not be so terrible it he should not be able for as the months passed the could not blind her eyes to he fact that the habit was gaining on him There had been some terrible Friday evenings the black ness of which she thought was photo graphed on her life there to remain forever when her husband had re turned a little later than usual his Step a trine unsteady his laugh a trifle immoderate his ah yes there could be no mistaking the terrible truth Was she silent ail this time Did she sound no note Of warning The world ever ready to censure those who will receive in quietness its censure rather than trouble 16 win its exoneration blamed her but Up in Heaven the recording angel at the bidding of the King of the Universe penned in letters gold Thus far she hath done what could Nelson Armitage meant every word he said when he told his wife he would neither treat nor be treated at the expiration of the two years and if ever a man tried to hold good his promise he did but his power was enfeebled by a systematic course of drinking coupled with the perni cious habit of tobacco using for he was now seldom seen without a pipe or cigar there feeding the able thirst which only indulgence could satisfy The two years had been succeeded by another and yet another each one marked by Nelson AtmUages steady descent into abysmal depths while there arose a greater need of for two lovely children called him father But the crowning scene of misery and shame occurred the following spring when in the month of April Nelson Armilsge in what might been the strength and power of manhood with but eight and twenty years of life behind and had he but been true to himself and his God the promise of that drink curse held fast in the Satanic clutch of delirium No pen picture can ever portray the misery and anguish implied in these two words so we draw veil of silence over that portion of his life when he himself thought he was dwelling in the lower regions the companion of fiends He arose from his sick bed to find the firm for whose sake he had jeopardised his soul had cast him adrift nor did the world blame them for so doing their silence and in creased remuneration sanctioned and encouraged his actions Through the timely influence of friends an other situation was procured him but at a much decreased salary and much decreased responsibility but before eighteen months had passed despite the intercession of those in- in his behalf he found him self again with no prospect of a po sition and with a wife and three children one a helpless infant en tirely dependant upon his exertions Week after week drifted by the meaere fund Mrs Armitage had stored away was slowly dwindling down to a few dollar almost des perate she felt for the sake of her little ones she take her place among the bred winners Successful beyond her hopes she was beginning now to have so little hope for any thing she soon had four boarders and with almost superhuman she cared for her Utile children and attended to the wants of her now largely increased household Such is the debasing lowering in fluence of the drink habit that Nelson Armitage accepted the reversed posi tion almost as a matter of course Why shouldnt his wife try to do something until he got another situ ation he remarked almost roughly to a friend who was expressing hi fears that Mrs frail con stitution might break under this added strain be who but six years ago aimed to shield her from the very suggestion of care and respon sibility Winter with its necessarily in- creased expenditure was drawing apace and poor Mrs Armitagcs heart sank within her at the prospect for do what she could the outlay and in come now barely balanced but at time a glint of light bright- had begged this a hand yen down her knees before him she had prayed him if for her sake then for that of his children to heed her hearts cry and he with bowed head and voice husky with emotion promised pesplte that solemn promise de spite the haunting image of a wan iileading face before the early ight of that flrst day bad given place to nights sombre shadows he lay helplessly intoxicated The Mon treal firm hearing through another traveller who had seen him of his condition sent a representative to Toronto where he still lingered who auk his samples from him and sent borne a discharged man to drown remorse he drank heavily and for week in success inn was never sober Mrs Armilages boarders at last gave notice that they would leave if she did not that man that they could not longer contioue lo board at a bouse where a drunken swearing man tolerated God pity and help those helpless women who through our drink traffic are to such awful alternatives On the one hand Iter husband who at Gods alia she taken for better or On the Other hand her childrens porti almost with grief and of the dreadful strait to which she was she I The matter love carried and foith from his went the OnCe ana fas- magi bhjtidc4 mark of the beast on his forehead She took him to fin old brother his who promised to supply him whit food means whereby fee could indulge Ms insatiably hint He is still there
