CHAPTER III.
Hrs. Reed William had never looked
moro beautiful Than sho did that evening
when her husband returned. Perhaps there

The shade Of a ribbon or The adjustment Of n
cutj but # there was, looking glasses tell no
tales, and neat and plain attire would not pro-
clam The fact 10 an ordinary observer. She
started nerVouaIy 30 he entered, but she con-
troIIed herself and greeted him kindly and
calmly as usual.
Well my dear, said he, advancing gaily
! have not been smoking to-day.
OIi, thank you, dear husband, exclaimed
Emellc, in the ~fJlness Of her heart, you will
never smoke any more, will you land her
soft pleading eyes were raised to his. with an
expression that amply repaid him for the sac-
flfce,
Days passed, and The Young wife felt hap
pier than she had ever felt before, for her
hearts idol bad rcIiuquished even his f~ayoyite
cigars, aud Tor her sake.
One evening, as he Bat by her side, she
thought he seemei unusually depressed, and
her cheerful smiles and her animated CONVEX.
8ation failed to restore hig wouted gaiety. She
did not ask the cause, but she almost felt AZ
If she had been selfish in e~zaciing such a sac
rlfce an sIe knew il to be. AT length he a.
rose Emelie, ! think | must have a cigar.
No word Of f0ud e~utreaty stayed his course,
and he coon returned. / have got only one
bunch, they viii soon be gone, and then l
will smoke no more.
de looked up in her face but he could not
read the expression there. Il was not grief,
disappointment, anger Or love, bat a most
marvellous calmnesG. lie was abogt 10 re-
tire 10 hls studio, where he generally iudul-
9ed IN the luxury Of smoking, but a soft tlns
recalled him. VIII you not stay with me

Ii VIII be more dissgreeable still if it de-
pfiyca ne Of my husbands company, said En-.
ellie as she gently drew him back into tho
room and placing a luxurious rocking chair
for his reception seated herself By his side.
She Their selected two cigars from the lot,
lighted one, and placed il 10 her husbands
lips, and performing the same operation with
the other, commenced putting away with The
gravity Of an experienced smoker. Both
maintained the same imperturbable c~ooIness
for segefa' minutes, he looking every instant
10 see her give up The attempt. and she still
smoking % If II had been a habit for years.
AT length bursting into an uncomfortable
fiji Of laughter. he flung the remnant Of bis ci-
gar into the crate, exclaiming Enelie, you
have Won the day If you will leave off
smoking, / viii.
Certainly, ] always initiate those / love
bot had no not better smoke this bunch, il ia

a Granddaughter lived IN one Of those little
wooden houses just over the SchuyIkiiL {
