And, oh, John, how lonesome I have been !" " You poor little wifey ! If ever I have to go away again you shall come with mo. But you're more beautiful than ever, sweet one. What have you been doing with yourself all the time I was away ?" " Thinking of yon, darling, and longing and longing for you to come home." " If that is tho secret of beauty _ I ought to have grown a perfect Adonis. And you'ro sure you recognised me straight off without thinking at least a minute ?" "Of course, you old dear. Do you suppose I could ever forget you ?" " Good gracious, it doesn't seem posuble that I've really beon away since the day before yesterday, does it, swootheart ?" " Not a bit more, husband mine, than that we have aotually been married a whole month to-morrow."
