His wife agreed with him in this,, end so the matter ended, All through the beat of the day Mr, Coddleman toiled at- his desk, stopping occasionally to wonder how he should like bis sister-in-law, whom he had ftevor mot, apd whether she had yet found his wife. When four o’clock came bo arose from his work and sought thwrailway station with joy. All the troublo of that unfortunate afternoon aroso from hlB extravagance, for an he know that the common car woulf* be both hot and crowded, he de­ termined to treat himself to the luxury of a drawing-roomseat. : Entering the first of the coaches he found it full, and passing through it Becured one of the two remaining-chairs in the forward car, He had scarcely settled himself when, just „as the train started, the porter showed a lady, laden with.many bags and bundles, to the re­ maining seat Just then the car gave a luroh. andbefore sho could seat herself, her, baggage flew in every direction. As tbo porter bad meanwhile disap­ peared, Matthias came to tbo resouo and collected her scattered belonglnga ■ ‘So kind of you," she murmured, as she sank back in her seat with a sigh of comfort . * “ Pot at all,” he replied, “but .you should have some one to assist yon with .theso bundles—they are too heavy for HER FAILING. Bow Mrs. Coddleman’e Jealous Nature Was Aroused. R.\ MATTHIAS CODDLEMA N was a broker in (bp city, and, like manyother brokers, he was possessed of a •mallhouse >nd garden in. one of the outlying suburban (owns to Which he went to retire when his day's •Jv work was over. Hewas, inshort, V V a plain, every­ day merchant, about thirty years old, and by no means lacking -In manly beauty. Mr. Matthias' Coddleman certainly seemed to be a very matter-of-fact and good young man, for he regularly at­ tended to his business, and was, more­ over; the superintendent of a Sunday- school in the town where he lived. Ho was nevertheless possessed of s ro­ mance, and a very substantial romance it was, weighing, I-should think, near­ ly two hundred pounds; for Mr. Mat­ thias wssmarried. This is how It came about: Some two years before the time at which 1 write he had taken his summer outing at one of the popular seaside resorts and thero had mbt for the first time tho future Mrs; Coddleman, Etta Sayles, as she was then, was a plump and pretty maiden, under the chargo of an old aunt, her father being dead and her mother and only slbk sister In Europo. Etta’s aunt had but ono failing, and that was- the Patagonian savages. On learning of the deoply-religious nature of Mr. Matthias this estimable gentle­ woman pounced upon him forthwith, and so'much was she interested in dls- cussing.with him plsns for the conver­ sion of theso heathen that she never perceived the conversion of Etta, as ef­ fected by love and Mr, Coddleman, till H was top late. As Mrs. Sayles was a grsat invalid and had gone to Europe for h it healjtb, it seemed useless to wait for her return. So, after much letter- writing and discussion, it wss decided that the young people should be mar­ ried, and theywere tho next spring. They had now been man and wife for moro than a year, and thus far nothing bad occurred to mar their tran­ quility. Indeed, there was no reason why there should, for Mrs. Matthias believed her husband to be perfection, and Mr. Matthias returned the compli­ ment His wife, indeed, almost merit­ ed that belief, for she had but two fail­ ings; one a failing of eyesight, and the other a most inordinately jealous dispo­ sition. Of the first of these fallings her husbend was aware; of the second he knew nothing, because he wss such a thoroughly good young mnn that even hit jealous wife could find nothing to -ah • date of the 10th ot July, 1870, was noted for two things; the arrival of Mr. Coddleman’fl alstor-in-Jaw fromEu­ rope, and the arrival ot the green-eyed monster, jealousy, in his household. Shortly before the time of which 1 write, Mrs. Sayles had died abroad, and her daughter was now returning to live with her married sister. The day la question opened auspiciously enough, for, though sultry, it was very beauti­ ful as frr. and Mrs. Coddleman rode into town that morning, he to his business and aha to meet her Slater. No pair of turtls-doVes oowld have been, more de­ voted. before the train had proceeded far on lie way, however, an accident happened to ruffie the composure ot Mr*.

Afterward she continued: “ I do not know-., this part of the ebuntry and if I would not be asking toomuch, I /should bo‘so much obliged if you would give me some Information about reach­ ing my destination.” He hastened to assure her that, far from troubling him, he should esteem it a great honor to bp of any service toher, and begged that she would tell him Where she was going. “ Why, to be sure," she replied, “ the place 18,1.8—1 declare 1 have forgotten the name. But I have it on a card in my pocketrbook, which is in my bag - no, not that one,” as he picked up a brown traveling, case, “ tho one nearest you. Ah, thanks! Why!" she cried as she opened it, “ the card is hot here after all; I must have lost it; but I can remember tho name, I guess. Let'mo boo , Bell—Boll—Bellville; that’s it, I think. Is there sucha place?" Mr. Coddleman said that thero was, and told her furthermore that Bho must change at the next station, and that ho himself Would put her on ■tho other train. Mr. Coddleman was by naturo retir­ ing, but the lonely position of tho lady and heV trust $n him inspired him with -the idea that ho must make himself agreoablo; ih which he succeeded so well that it soemod a moment before the junction was reached. • “O, really this is too muohl" sho ex­ postulated, as he loaded himself with her baggage; “ I can’t think of allowing you to carry all of it " “ Do not spoak of it, madam; it is nothing at all," ho panted, from beneath his load of bags and shawl-straps. They had crossed the station" and boarded the other train, when Mr, Cod­ dleman, happening to turn, sawhis wife on tho platform of the car ho had just left, with a hard, cold-look on her face that boded no good for him. Ho was aghast; she had seen part, but not all, and evidently thought he was going oil with a strange worna* Ho tm LAXDED IX A HEAP OX TnE PLAT- .FORK. must hasten book to explain her mis­ take. But first he must get rid of his load and likewise of the lady, fie there­ fore hurried after her, found her a •eat, and excused himself as quickly as possible; but before he could leave the train It was in motion; and b y the time he reached the platform it Was moving at a good rate of speed. Mr. Coddleman was inclined to be stout, and, morever, was much flurried, add this fact, coupled with an absolute ignorance of the laws of movingbodies, may account for his jumping with both feet together, and in the opposite direc­ tion from which tbe train was moving. The result of this maneuver was a complicated series of somersaults, which landed him In a heap on the floor ot tho station, from wbioh he fathered himself up just la Mate to ••• his own train disappear in « • m"* '"■'’-T-* tbe distance. This involved a three hours’ wait, during whieb he meditated pn the'events of the afternoon and the reception that Swatted him at home. I t was after ten at night when, he at last, weary and ,wornAreachedhis house. It took him a little while to summon up courage to enter. In tho parlor sat hi* wife, bolt up­ right in a chair by the table, reading the family Bible—an ominous sign. “My dear," be faltered, in his meek­ est tones, “ I missedmy train, and have just arrived. I trust you have not been worrying about me." Mrs. Coddleman. on bis entrance, slowly closed the Bible, laid it on the table, folded her bands before her, and waited.

At breakfast the next morning, Mrs. Coddleman wore the expression of a .martyr undergoing torture; she poured tho coffee with a Christian resignation beautiful to see; and tbe manner in which she passed her husband the but­ ter would have brought tearsto tho eyes of tho most hard-hearted. Mr, Coddle­ man determined to make a bold break, and summoning up ail bis courage, ad­ dressed his wife: . * “My door!” hbsaid, “I fear youdid not rightly understand the events of yester­ day; in short, that—that—f" . “No explanation can avail.
