Daniel Slade eat reading the evening newspaper in the handsomely appoint ed library of his spacious home. To all intents he was a man at peace with the world. He had money and power. He had advanced from a penniless miner to a millionaire figure in the business world. At fifty his were the fruits of a well-spent, energetic life. Handsome and immaculate in his per fectly tailored evening clothes, he fit ted into the beautiful room with ite rich tapestries and oriental rugs with all the ease and naturalness of a man born to culture and wealth. Every now and then his eyes wan dered from his newspaper to the fig ure of his wife sitting at the other side of the richly carved table. The tiny, unlmposing little woman in her badly cut, dun-colored gown was the one in congruous detail in the room. She was like a shabby little prairie flower suddenly transplanted to a conserva tory where brilliant orchids and lovely roses bloomed all about her, her faint little fragrance overpowered by their heavy sweetness her delicate loveli ness completely submerged by very contrast with the radiant beauty of her surroundings. To Slade's critical eyes, the dowdy little figure, with the work basket in her lap and her head bent over the stocking she was contentedly darning, was an actual eyesore. He had fitted up a magnificent home that would have made a perfect setting for a prin cess, and his wife's appearance had not changed a particle from the days when they lived in a tumble-down cot tage and he worked in the mines in his shirtsleeves. With the getting of vast amounts of money he had acquired a veneer of manners and tastes that at times failed to conceal the rough and brutal instincts of the real man. His social horizon was enlarging, but within it his wife seemed to find no place. He wanted, beyond this and everything, to climb the political tree and pick the fruits thereof. His wife seemed not to know that there was such a thing as a political tree to climb. With herself, her husband and her work she was contented and happy. - . The wives of other men of his po sition were social queens noted for their beautiful gowns, their entertain ing and their clever wit. He alone was -shackled to a woman he would have been ashamed to introduce to his friends. Only be was tied to a wife he could not force either by pleading or argument to enter into the life which meant so much to him. Tonight as he rehearsed in his mind his many unsuccessful efforts to make Mary advance and take an inter est In his life as It was now, rebellion surged in his heart. He had struggled year after year to attain his present standing, his present position In the world, and Mary, the one loved thing of his life. Insisted on hanging like a millstone around his neck. Why, oh, why, couldn't the woman progress? Why hadn't she developed as he had done? Why was she com' placently sitting there satisfied to re main just as she had been twenty years ago, hopelessly behind the times? . ' And be-when ThaTaTJhis"one ambition the one thing; he had yet to achieve! He sighed wearily to himself. That Mary could ask that question was the best proof of how irrevocably they had drifted apart. Living in the same house with him, eating at the same table, day after day at his side, the little woman knew no more of his real - self or his ambitions than the merest stranger. "It's a nice story about yer, Dan," Mary went on, all unconscious of the struggle going on Just a few feet away from her the struggle between the heart of a man that calls out to the companion of his youth, the sharer of his joys and struggles and the brain fa- I f she wouldn't .advance why Bhould he consent to be held back by her? If she wouldn't go on with him he would leave her behind. The thought and the resultant decision had their birth suddenly but positively in the man's mind. He would make one more argument, one last appeal. If Mary wouldn't meet him half way, Mary could stay behind with her ever lasting darning and her eternal , knit ting. She could wash and cook and stew and sew, if she liked, but she couldn't do it in his mansion. But Daniel Slade was no more un comfortable at having her there than Mary Slade was at being obliged to live In this great, elegant house, with its crowds of servants and its routine, absolutely foreign and well-nigh hate ful to her. She knew 6he didn't fit into her surroundings. .She realized her own inharmony. Her attempts to look natural and feel comfortable were pathetic. She felt lost without the task of overseeing the Monday's washing. She was heart-broken be cause she couldn't personally superin tend the making of Dan's coffee. Her life was incomplete because a hired cook made the bread that was served on the table and because Dan never seemed to miss the evenly brown loaves that had been her especial pride in the old days. Mary Slade was as commonplace as a cup of boiled tea. She was a plain, ordinary, everyday woman, who loved a simple, unpretentious life, with the neighbors dropping in for a 'word or two, exchanging recipes for muffins and debating the proper way to sea son a stew. There was neither charm nor com fort for her in the vista of rooms open ing out from the spacious library. The brocaded chairs were straight and didn't rock. They were high-posted and stilted compared to her own low seated little rocker in the cottage. When she sat back In them, stiffly and awkwardly, her feet didn't even reach the floor, but dangled restlessly above the priceless rug that was one of her husband's newest purchases. All big crises in life are the re sults of trifles. It took the merest incident to crystallize Slade's thought into action. Mary had picked up a portion of the paper after it had dropped from her husband's hands. She started to read the printed page with all the serious Importance of a little child trying to do something very big and grown-up. Suddenly her eyes lighted with pleasure and a tender smile of pride and delight illuminated, her features. In turning the pages she had sud denly discovered a picture of her hus band, under which she read a simple but significant line: . "Daniel S. Slade, a Possible Gover nor." ' . "Oh, Dan," she cried, happily. "Isn't this a fine picture of you. I could almost lmagine.it was going to speak to me." . - Then she paused a little wistfully and doubtfully before she asked: "But do you really want to be gov ernor?" . "Want to ber.' Slade caught bis breath as he re peated her Question.

"But, Dan," questioned Mary's gentle little voice, "who's The Gover nor's Lady?" "His wife, of course," snapped Slade. "What does it say about you?" j He reached over and took the DaDer from her hands, leaned forward ea-1 gerly toward the ltght and frowned as he read: "Should Daniel S.
