But, valiantly as I spoke, my mental sensations by no means corresponded with this bold part. I was beginning dimly to realize what a very unwise step I had taken, and also persuaded poor Nettie to take. And I was secretly making up my mind that if Nettie's mothef refused to receive us, I would ship myself off to sea as second-mat- e or third purser, or something of that sort, send my advance wages to my poor little wife, and commence the world over again in this irregular fashion. Hut when I walked resolutely up to door, she greeted me my mother-in-law'- s as if 1 had been expected for the last week or so. "You've come, have you?" was the salutation. "Well, yes," I admitted, "I've come." "What on earth detained you?" said she. f Inmy mind I cast about what to say, and settled on the first convenient excuse that came into my head. " "The train was delayed at I If II t Or i YE come, :i nave juu.' - am ray uiother inlaw, in a deep voice, as she stood on the LA Tl threshold, ffrim- - that shone like hard, surveying ly me with greenish-blu- e eyes gooseberries behind her spectacles.

It was rather a curious complication. 2VIy mother-in-lahad not the least idea who I was. I had cheerfully intended to take her by surprise: but now that the eventful moment had arrived, my courage, like that of Bob Acres, as Jefferson shows him. was oozing out at of my fingers. the ends name is Richard Dalton.

A crust of bread and a glass of water three ffimes a day, and now and then a suit of clothes we must be poor, indeed, if e can't manage to compass that." Nettie had looked admiringly upon me, and acquiesced in my argument. We had taken board at the Angel Hill hotel, and began our honeymoon royally. At the end of a month, mine host had become a little importunate on the subject of his bill, and Nettie's mother had written a letter to her, signifying that she wanted nothing whatever to do with ns. We had made our own led. she signified, and now we tnight lie on it. "Oh, Dick," cried Nettie, clasping Iier hands: "What are we to do?"'

"Saint (Jeorge conquered the dragon, my love," I asserted, cheerfully, "and mean to conquer your mother! So pack my valise, there's a darling, and J'll be off before the landlord comes back from Uoston!"

"Oh, yes," said I, swallowing the hot coft'ee and winking my eyes very hard. "Can 3rour wife make herself generally useful about the place?" sharply demanded the old lady. "Certainly she can," said I, beginning vaguely to see my way through the mists of perplexity that had heretofore obscured my brain. "How old is ' she?" asked Mrs. Martin. I answered. f.

She had evidently engaged a hired man, and took it for granted that 1 was the personage in question. "What can you do?' she asked, abruptly. And with equal curtness I responded: w "hkkfs win:, ma'am." to give as much satisfaction as possible." Fortune favored me, in more ways than one.

"Nettie," she cried, in blank amaze- ment. "Oh, mother, mother!" faltered Nettie, throwing both hands around the old lady's neck, "please forgive me this time, and I'll never, never elope again."

"Can you cut wood?" she asked. "Certainly," said I, reflecting to myself that any fool might do that. She asked oue or two questions more, which I answered with the blind fatuity which attends youth and confidence. She seemed pleased at my willingness to undertake anything and everything. 'And now about wages," said she, briskly. "What will you ask for your own services and those of your wife by the month?" I fitted the tips of my fingers reflectively together. "As we are both rather inexperienced," said I, "we'll agree to work the first month for our board. After that you shall pay us what you think we are both worth." "Hum hum!" said my mother-in-law- .
