A WOMAN'S SORROW. 



They had quarreled at the ball the night 

 before over some trivial matter, as lovers 

 will, and had parted in anger. 



At the earliest possible hour the follow- 

 ing morning he hastened to seek her and 

 beg her forgiveness. 



She was already in the drawing-room 

 when he arrived. His heart smote him 

 when he saw her heavy eyes, the deep lines' 

 of suffering on her face and noted that she 

 was still wearing her gauzy ball gown. 



"My love, my love," he moaned, "have 

 my unthinking words wrought this havoc? 

 Was it for my sake that those eyes kept 

 vigil through the long night? Did my cruel 

 words so crush you that you had no heart 

 even to remove your dainty gown?" 



"We were both to blame," she said 

 gently; "but if you knew what I have 

 suffered ' you would forgive the unjust 

 reproaches I heaped on you. Listen ! 

 When I entered the house last night all 

 was dark and still ; everyone was asleep, 

 and I — I" her voice trembled ; "I had to 

 sit up through the long hours because " 



"Because of my unthinking words, dar- 

 ling," he broke in deeply. 



"No," with a fresh burst of weeping; 

 "because my dress is fastened in the back." 

 —Life. 



The Royal Anastigmat lens given with 

 15 new subscriptions to Recreation was 

 received and I am much pleased with it. 

 I consider this the most liberal premium 

 ever offered for any magazine or other 

 periodical, and well worth the effort neces- 

 sary to obtain it.

I received my Mullins' bustle ducking 

 boat in good shape, and it is one of the 

 best all around boats for all waters that 

 I have ever used.

"Have you any heirlooms?" she asked, 

 "anything that has been handed down in 

 your family from generation to genera- 

 tion ?" 



"Yes," he proudly replied, "I have the 

 first pair of shoes my grandfather ever 

 wore. He bought them with money he 

 earned hauling timber for a house on which 

 your grandfather was working for 60 cents 

 a day." 



Then she decided never to recognize him 

 again because he was a man who had none 

 of the finer instincts. — Chicago Record-
