The Hon John had be come a prominent man in hit com- He had in poverty had learned economy early and fortunately had married a and habits to desired to in the world and forgetting lieu elf bent all her energies toward his progress and She did her own home- for years made her own clothes and of her children and in every nay laved that John might be rich and influential Her history like that of thousand other New England women- she wore for family She never had time for social life and not a very great amount of time for reading tho kept up as well possible ilh the thought of the day but her one aim was to have her husband honor ed John Crawford was a good band tho not always considerate He thought nobody quite and helpful as nobody cooVtd to well nobody was more saving and he was proud to rise by her help He failed to how a matter that help had been in his life been ailed who made his money he would have re plied without I made it That was entitled to half or even a third would never hue oc curred to him He provided her and the children all they seemed to need He was the head of the family and that headship had made him somewhat selfish and domineering As the children grew older and Mrs Crawford out into the future and realised the possibility of leaving the world before her husband she thought much of their condition under a changed borne Mr Craw ford would many again and own children might have Imte or none of the property which they together had struggled to earn One evening the said as they sat before the open fire the children having gone to bed John it seems to me things are unequal in the world Vou and I have worked hard and I have been proud to have you succeed We both love the children and want everything done for them What if I should die and should marry again have other children Why you dont think I could forget our own precious child ren No second wife could or would influence me against my children and I have worked together and should feel dishonorable to leave them helpless and care for others You must think me a villain Ob no John but I have seen cases like that Only the the Rev Cornelius Jones married a wife and gave her all his pro perty leaving nothing to bis three daughters if a minuter would do that what should we expect of others There must have been peculiar circumstances He could not have been in bis light mind know John if you were to die I should receive a third of what have helped you earn and the rest would go to the children well if I were to die first nothing would go to the children should like have at least the third which the Ian con siders mine goto them at my death as it does in some countries of the Old World where a man cannot marry a second time till be has settled a portion on his first children But that would be a Rreat incon venience Mr Crawford A man has money in business and to take out a third if his wife dies might sadly him even the use of a third apart for them might cripple btm Better that there be a little in convenience than a wrong done to children said Mrs Crawford The husband may lose every cent of what the wife struggled and saved all her life to help him accumulate Marriage ft a partnership and like partnerships must suffer some and ineon sen fence it may be one of the partners dies There roust necessarily be a new adjust ment of interests But the law allows you to make a will and give away your property my dear just as it does me what have inherited before or my marriage but I have In herited none and have not We have our together and you have often said you owe as much to ray and economy as to your foresight ability so I do it is true but the law makes no provision about our common property But make it yourself then John if the law does not Make a so that in case of soy death my two cUughterv have at a third ail porta at V if you prefer put a third I might feel it ought to be half in my name or perhaps the home and let that go to our But If put the home In your name to that in case of losses some thing would be saved from creditors I should want it willed to at your death so that could still have a home and do as I liked with it And then nothing go to the children at my death That is not fair John and I worked to and long to be willing Well Betsey you can trust roe to do the right thing I will think it over and he kissed her as they the not altogether satisfactory conversation As to be expected Betsey Crawford Woke down from Ihc wear and tear of life and died leaving her two daughters to the care of a fond and not ungenerous father The loss was a great one to John Crawford She had been his compttent tact and good sense to keep matters right She had guided more than he ever suspected He mourn ed her sincerely as did her two de voted daughters tic was lonely and In lime married again a woman considerably younger than himself a member of the tame church an ambitious and not over scrupulous woman When her ton was born she became desirous that every advantage should be placed be- lore him that he might attain to wealth and honor She convinced Mr Crawford in a thousand name less ways that the hoy would need most of the property for business to marry welt and to carry down the family name The girls would doubt less and be well provided for by their husbands She talked with Mr Crawford about the uncertainty of life and with tact urced that other things besides a spiritual preparation for death were necessary A man should think the younger members of his family who would be left com paratively helpless People said that the strongwilled John Crawford had become very much under the sway of his younger wife that he had less domin ant more appreciative and more ap and more thoughtful her needs and wishes He his son but he seemed no dearer than the daughters of Betsey He was more expensive Child for he needed all sorts of playthings the school- in the best clothes and a what largo of spending money it was evident John Crawford jr would require more money than his halfsisters In course of time Mr Crawford having served a term in Congress through good ability and the dis creet use of money In organising his force and having done well fur his constituency followed Betsey to the other world To the lurprisc of all save the second Mrs the property was left to her and son with the merest to the unmarried daughters of Betsey Crawford- wouldnt have thought said a prominent lady in the church Why John Crawford was a deacon and professed to live according to right and justice I There must have been undue influence His first wife worked like a slave to help earn that money I never supposed a man would be unfair to his You never can tell what folks wilt do said another church mem ber Youth and tact are great forces in the world John never meant to be unjust but he couldnt help it A third of that property ought to have gone to those A She couldnt very well favor era bo daughters Why didnt his wife make him fix it before lire died Maybe she tried who knows said the person addressed If the law didnt make him do duty how could you expect his conscience to do it We need some new laws about the property which men and women earn Mr Crawfords injustice resulted in the early death of one daughter and left bitter memories of her father in the heart of the other Old to thy keep

meeting house hut down here was no of such music The Sunday shave had brought out all of his weatherbeaten face and the leisure of the day allow- a weary disappointed look to settle about his close shut mouth and faded blue eyes He was at the dingy lace a bunch paper pinned irninlv against it and fluttered before an opened win dow across the way but his heart saw a very different picture a small country farmhouse miles and miles away and a clean bright window gay scarlet bloom and vivid greeners The mouth chut a little closer and the knotty fingers drummed a nerv ous tattoo on the windowledge that drew a troubled glance from a sweet serene woman who was moving quiet ly and briskly about setting the room in order putting away the breakfast dishes and doing the score small things by which the true sets her seal upon her do main How fathera thinking about old times again she said to herself he can never get wonted to living in town Still the nervous beat went on and presently she spoke J guess Id better git on my things Its considerable of a piece to church You got a clean hand kerchief father Her husband put his hand in his pocket mechanically and turned to face her I was thinking

taking her best bonnet from the top drawer of the bureau and she only said What a memory you have for verses father That piece aint exactly pious but I dont know as theres any harm in it and it is real loucbiryy They went down the narrow dark stain and out upon the street and nothing more was said for some time But wbeo they were walking through the park they always went that way to see the

get the box of flowers sent by the florist for the pulpit decorations A tall beautiful girl in black took the flowers at the altar and rapidly arranged them in two slender vases and as she lifted them from their covering the whole was filled with a rich rose odor She looked from time to lime at the strangers especially at the woman whose eager eyes followed every mo tion of her lingers and when her work was completed she came rapidly down aisle with the empty box and one pale pink rose in her band Opposite the pes she hesitated in instant then face flushed and she went said his wife peeping into the folds of handkerchief to ice if her was rafe ones light and the others dark complected gues Jest cause seemed like your own folks down to Station He looked at his wife in mild astonishment that
