 Harry made 10 reply. and in q few moments was on his wMy luI his office. Mary stana hehin2 ilieaa anraain end \ looked after him as To went down the street. There was an uneomfottable. stitling sensation in her throat, and something very like tear. gliliering in her eyes. Harry was vexed! she was sure of that: he had gone off for the first time since their marriage. wi!hou: the atlsc.ionate good bye thai vas usu. al Wllh hina even when they parted but tor an hour or twa. And 50 she wan. de'ed !...r restless aud unhappy into the sleeping rcop, " v 2 ..s. aa 1 li vas quite little gem. There was statuet,s. and pictures. and vases, all Igifts from him. either before or since their nnar,jage--each one lad history ofrits own. some tender assocmiion cen. uected With Harry. TheFe was loo. quet. still fresh and fragsant. that he had purchased on lis way home the day before, 10 gratiiy her passion for flowers. There was q choice edilion pf Poems. they were reading together tlleIday bsl fore. with Mary'sanane written. On the leaf, in Harryss bold. handsoaae nhand. 'Futu where she would, ssotae proof of his devotion met her eye .FiGt Mrs Nayr She vas % smart and salifical. she would make much sport Of iaer, for being ruled by Harry Hadn'i, she told her. that all men were tyranis.' aad this was Harry's itst attempt to govern her. No. pa, it wopldn't do for her to yield So the pretty walking dress was ta ken out; the trim p,ings re adIuss,d and re. modelled. and all the little ct. ceteras of her toilet doclded, Yes. she would go: she had quite made up her mind to that.

It couldn't do any harm 10 real it again. It was very lover like for year old husband bat she liked it Dear Har. " aud she folded ,t back and sat down, more unhappy than ever. with her hands crossed in Ter lap. and Ter mind in N most pitiable state of irresolulion.
 Pcrhaps after all Harry was right about Mrs. May and if t wasn't. one nair Sf his head was worth moro to her thanall the world. He had never paiG one unkind word to her, never be had anticipated every wish: he had been SO .t,euiive and solicilous when she was ill. How could she grieye him ?
 Love conquered The pretty robe was folded away. the jewels returned to their cases, and with a light heart. Mary sat down to await her hgsband's return.
 The lamps were not lit in the drawing room. vhen Harry came up .he street. She had gone then after all she bad said .aaa
 He had passed slowly through the hall entered the dark and deserted room. and threw himself on the sofa with heavy sigh. He was not angry. but grieved and disappointed. The first doubt that creeps over the mind of one we love, is so very painful.
 Dear II.rry! said a welcome voice at his side. @'
