Then you must promise me that you
will 90 to the club no more after we are

not TO go to the theatre without I 90, too. ;
'Are YOU in earnest now, Lizzie ?
Certainly am said Lizzie.
Lizzie, fear you do not rightly un-
derstand NE. | have sought you for my
wife because believed YOU TO be a pure
minded, loving, yirtuous girl. love you
with my whole soul, and can give You
a whole generous heart, an honest name,
and an untarnished honor. If you be-
come my wife, it shall be my highest aim
to make you happy; but if light whims
are to be set down as matters of grave
moment, and if pledges of future conduct
are to be given, then | fear we would nei-
Iher Of US be happy, for in no way can
you sooner iniure husband than to dis
trust him. All reasonable things | will
do to make you happy, but cannot pro-

sake of concliatng, you would deceive
me. No, no, Summer, seek just such
enjoyments as your own good judgment
shall tell you are right, and fear not that |
shall find fault
Summer Dean was a proud and happy
man, and al that moment he took silent
pledge, but one deep in his heart, that he
would never do thing that would make
Lizzie unhappy.
Lizzie and Bertha had been married
nearly year. One pleasant winter even
ing Summer Dean and his wife called at
the dwelling of Henry Wilder. They
entered and found Bertha al! alone.
'Where is Henry!' asked Lizzie, as
she laid of her things.
'He has gone to his club returned
Bertha, in low tone.
'Then you remain here, and I will go
and bring him home,' said Mr.. Dean 10
his wife. Now, that we have come, we
