“Jimmie!”
Little Mrs. Barron's voice rose shrill
and anguished.
“1 don't care,” insisted Jimmy Bar
ron. “I said ‘darn that look.’ and you
ought to be glad that 1 said no more!”
“It Is the lirst time you ever darned
anything I wanted you to do,” re
proached Mrs. Barron. “You don't
love me any more, Jimmy.”
“Great heavens!” cried the exasper
ated Barron. “Of course I love you.
Nettle, but when you ask me to stop
and fix this look when I have an ap
pointment with Chilvers at the office
at 10. Anyhow, it's the jauitor's busi
ness to keep the locks In repair.”
Nettle turned away with a little,
hurt cry. This was worse than the
remark which had started the trouble.
To leave her to the tender mercies
of the janitor was rubbing salt in the
I
“I HAVE OIONE TO HO'. EH'S.
wounds, and as Barron gave his wife
n hasty kiss and hurried down the
stairs he told himself that he would
send a locksmith around to attend to
the matter at once.
Of course the jauitur was there to
make repairs for the tenants, but he
was a surly fellow whose breath
smelled strongly of drink, and Nettle
Barron was afraid to admit hitn to
the cozy little apartment they called
home.
For more than a week they had been
having trouble with the lock that Bar
ron had added to the fastenings pro
vided by the landlord. There was a
burglar scare in the city, and apart
ment houses were the favorite-points
of attack.
Jimmie felt that, having spent the
better part of Sunday afternoon put
ting the lock on, Nettie could not very
well expect him to keep it in repair.
Thus had started the tirst quarrel
they had had since their marriage, and
Barrou took the car downtown feeling
anything but at ease with ail the
world.
The Chilvers interview was satisfac
tory In the extreme. It was late in the
afternoon when the details were con
eluded, and Jimmie had entered upon
a contract which meant the successful
outcome of the business venture in
which he had engaged.
To cap the climax it had been ar
ranged that Chilvers, who was uu out
of town man, should sjiend the evening
at the club with Jimmie, so it was past
midnight when Barrou reached home.
The elevator stopped running at 12
o’clock, and Jimmie toiled up the three
flights of stairs to his apartmeut.
Binned to the door was a sheet of pa
per and on it the words, “I have gone
to mother’s.”
Jimmie felt the cold perspiration be
dew his forehead. It had come, then.
He always had thought that "going to
mother's” was merely a creation of the
newspaper humorist, but it was true
Nettie had probably grieved over his
refusal to fix the lock and had ended
by going home to her mother.
Mechanically be turned and descend
ed the stairs. He did not want to en
ter the deserted apartment. It was
home no longer with Nettle gone. He
did not know Just where he wanted to
go or what he wanted to do. but he
wanted to get away from the place
where they had been so happy togeth
er; be wanted to walk in the cool night
air and to realize what It all meant to
him. He was passionately attached to
Nettie, and he bad not dreamed that
they ever could be separated.
ne thought dumbly of the dark, si
lent apartment and shuddered. He
would have to move from there and go
to a hotel to live. He never could en
ter the deserted home again. It would
be like violating the tomb of tfceir
dead happiness.
He did not blame Nettie, but he bit
terly reproached himself. He knew
how timid Nettie was. She had feared
the surly looking Janitor, and she
could not even speak of burglars with
out a little shudder, and her husband
had brutally told her that be would be
darned if he would fix the door and
had flung away, leaving her with only
the insecure protection of the flimsy i
lock provided by the landlord. And j
this was a lock that even a child could j
onen with the of i Irnffe when 1
the Yale lock would not work.
Perhaps the unr-dars * d c< TT<- !
rather hoped they had. He hoped tba* i
they ti ■ .1 f.':-everythteg. or
be horrible to have to give directions
I
I lor the storage of the furniture whlet
they had selected with such loving
care.
There was a sentiment attached tc
every chair, and tears started In his
tired eyes as he remembered the little
footstool Nettie had insisted upon buy
ingr. though she would not tell him
what she wished it so particularly for.
It had become her fav»ite seat
when he came in tired front the office,
and she cuddled down against his side,
the golden head resting comfortably
on his shoulder while he told her the
story of his day. He changed his
mind about tbe burglars. He did not
want them to carry off the little foot
stool.
As he pondered the situation Jim
mie trudged onward and gave no heed
to his direction. It was a Inn st with a
shock that lie found himself turning
in at a gate and realized that mechan
ically he had walked all the way to
Nettie’s mother's, three long miles.
There was a light in the window of
the room that had been Nettie's In
their courtship days. He recalled the
nights when he had passed the house
just to see the light In the window and
to know that all was well with her.
Now there was the light, but noth
ing was well. For an instant a wo
man's form was silhouetted against
the shade, and Barron came to a sud
den decision. There was an all night
drug store on the corner. He would
call her up and sue for pardon.
It seemed hours before there was an
answer to his ringing, but at last it
came, and it was Nettle’s sweetly se
rious voice that replied.
“It’s Jimmie,” he said brokenly. “1
got your note.”
“It served you right,” said Nettie
severely.
”1 know it does,” admitted Barron.
“I really meant to send a man around,
but tbe Chilvers matter drove the
thought from my head and I forgot
all about it.”
“You have only yourself to blame."
she reminded. “I asked you hundreds
of times to fix the loek.”
“Only about eight,” corrected Bar
ron, “but I was a brute not to do It
the first time you asked. After this
you won’t have to ask me to do a
thing a second time, dear.”
Barron regarded himself In the mir
rored wall contentedly. It was an in
spiration to treat the matter as though
there had been no separation.
“Did the burglars get in?” asked
Nettie interesledly.
“I don't think so,” was the eager re
sponse. “But look here. Nettle. If 1
promised that I will always do the
thing you ask me to will you—be
friends attain, dear? When I came
home and found that you had left
me I broke down. I walked out here
from our place and never realized
that I had walked so far until 1
found myself turning In at yow gate."
There was a choking sound over the
wire, and Jimmie looked hopeful. If
she was crying it was a sign that she
might relent.
“Where are you now?” asked the
voice.
“Down at the corner,” was the
prompt reply. “Won't you let me
come over and see you. dear?”
“You may come,” assented Nettle,
and Jimmie tore out of the place
without even stopping to hang up the
receiver. He sped up the street, and
a few moments later he was on the
steps and Nettle was standing In the
doorway to welcome htin.
As the door closed behind tliem a
pair of soft arms were thrown about
his neck and soft lips pressisl his
cheek.
“Jimmie, you’re the absurdest boy,”
declared the little wife lovingly. “You
didn’t even try to get In the flat, did
you?”
“What was the use when you were
not there, sweetheart?" he asked
fondly.
“You would have found out why 1
came to mother’s,” she explained.
“Your horrid lock worked when I
went out, but when I came home not
even the Janitor could make it un
lock, and it was too late to find a
locksmith, so I catne on to mother's
and left that note for you.”
“And you were not angry? You
didn’t leave me?” demandis! Jimmie.
“How could I?” she asked simply
“You were a bad boy, Jimmie, but I
love you, dear.”
Jimmie took her In his arras. “I
want you always to love me." he said,
“and I’m going to buy you a dozen
locks in the morning. What is that
quotation about love and the lock
smith?”
