tho jealous young husband came upon this
young man and his wife when sitting alone In
his parlor, under tho portico, or in some of tho
pleasant arbors or summer houses that were
scattered over the lawns and gardens. On
such occasions II was plain TO him that Ed

mistaken if the bloom on the beautiful cheeks
of his wife did not take a deeper hue.
At first, Derwcnt tried to think this ali nm

thought an emphatic contradiction. How

against all the appeals of fcrvd admiration ?

uneasy did the young man become; and the
more certain was he that Etlmonds entertained

his wife,
