On the following morning Job found the same sedste face at the breakfast table — no social chatting.

What would ha have given at that moment for a suggestion from his wife I By-aad-bya locky thought (truck him.

"The wool te at your dispoeal, Jot: If you please to her# some cloth rt*4e I will spin end weave jL You have but <- issoe your orders." Her voice was vary low and culm, and ber bearing respectful. "But." said Job, petulantly, almost loshis temper, "yon know whether the loom wants filing." "If it it your wish, 1 will go and examine it, aod report to you. I will do anything say. Only be kind to me, aod duc't expect me to anticipate yonr wants. Shall 1 go np with you now ?" "Yea." Tba loom was in . tha shad chamber, and I hither Job led tba way.
