He charged that his wife flirted with

"Our Sparati6n at Denver started
from a talk we had regarding him,"
said Trenholm. "At the mention of
the subject my wife started to quar
rel with me and scratched my face
v.ith her fingernails, but as I did not
say anything about it, Ehe replied.
'You're to soft you don't know enouyh

not to scratch or kick me in the shins
any more and I don't think we ever

X the Ukraine, Russia, the
woman does all the courting.
When she falls, in love with a
man she goes to his house
and Informs him of the state of her
feelings. If he reciprocates, all Is well,
and the formal marriage la duly ar
ranged. If, however, he is nnwilling.
she remains there, hoping to coax him
tojt better mind. The poor fellow can
not treat her with the least discourtesy.
nor biis he the consolation of being
able to torn her out, as her friends in
such a case would feel bound to avenge
the Insult His remedy, therefore, if
determined not to marry her. is to
learo his borne and stay away as long
as she is In it.
One day Peter Komienzoff, a bache
lor, living in the Ukraine with his moth
er, while doing some work about his
little place, heard a light step. looked
up. and there before him stood Anna
Avienieff, blushing and with ber eyea
cast down to tbe ground.
"'What brings you to our cottage,
Anna Avienieff?" asked refer, know
ing very well what brought her there.
"I hare come, Peter, to make you a
proposition."
"I am busy today, Anna, and have no
time to listen to your proposition."
"I will wait until you are at leisure."
She went into tbe bouse, and. being
met by Peter's mother, the old woman
asked her what she wanted
"To help you with your work. You
are not so strong as you were formerly
and need assistance."
On the contrary. I am in better
health than for many years. I dont
need any one to help me."
Anna did not appear to mind a rebuff
from the woman, though when Peter
hod shown that he was disposed to
get rid of her she shivered a little.
She began to sweep. The old woman.
knowingthe customs of the country
and understanding that the girl had
come to marry her son and that she
must not be treated with discourtesy,
permitted her to sweep on. while she
herself attended to some baking for
supper.
At supper time Peter came in. He

careful to serve her from every dish

he came out be carried n leather bag.
"I am sorry, Anna, to have to leave
you, but 1 must go away for awhile.
My mother will be glad to have you
with her during my absence. Goodby,
mother. Be good to Anna."
Anna colored, but made no comment
on this action; which she knew was in
tended to get rid of her. Peter put out
his hand, saying goodby: but. pretend
ing she did not see it. she turned and
went into another room. Then Peter
went away.
The customs of Ukraine may be dif
ferent from other places, but tbe fetni
nine constitution is the same every
w here. Anna Avienieff did not relish
the rejection of her suit." but sbe made
no complaint. She had one strong
point in her favor in having possession
of the premises, and possession is6nid
to be nine points of the law. She
stayed right where she was. and the
next morninsr when Peter s mother
arose to do her chores and get the
breakfast she found them all done and
the brenkfast ready.
The old woman was wroth -with the
cot tell ber so, fearing that Anna's
brothers would hold Peter accountable.
Anna did most of the work (Turing that
day. and the old woman, having little
to do, sat by the fireplace and doted
This continued every day for a month,
Peter's mother gradually sinking Intc
an easy life.
On the morning of the thirty-Crst
day after Peter's departure his mother
awoke and did not hear the sound of
preparation to which sbe bad grown
accustomed. Neither did Anna come
into ber room with a basiu of water
for her, as usual. The house was per
fectly still. Tbe old woman got tip
and looked in tbe kitchen. Xo one
was there. The fire bad gone out.
She went to Anna's room and looked
in. Anna was not there.
There was nothing for it but to get
her own breakfast and do the usual
cleaning. Besides, it was wash day.
and the laundering must bo done.
During the day she sent for Peter, and
when he came home for supper be
found his mother tired out.
The next morning Peter got up early
and did the chores. He did not know
how to cook, so be was obliged to let
his mother Cook the breakfast. Dur-
ng the day the old woman tried to
do the work, but sbe had become used
to dozing before the fire. Besides, she
missed the bum of the little working
bee. The house was permitted to get
dirty, and things that the old woman
had before kept in repair were wear
ing out. Teter found that his mother
so disliked to get up in the early morn
ing that he learned to cook tbe break
fast himself. But he did not like do
ing so and liked the breakfasts he
cooked still less.
"One morning who should come up j
the walk but Anna. Teter. radiantly
happy, went to meet her. Leading her
in. his old mother put her arms around
tbe girl's neck.
And then and there a marriage was
arranged to take place soon, but not
too soon for Peter.

Los Angeles, CaL, July 22. "My

was one looking to the education of my
uaugmers son," she concluded.
