the task before him; "but if it causes YOU so
much pain, / will not again accept an invita-.

Why, oh why did ever love % cried
Mrs TINS, wildly "orif must love- why
was doomed to love SO passionatcly, so intense
ly with love that could mover be returncd?"
" You are unjust, Irortisa said Mr. Tins,
who as usual, found himself on the defensive

refuse to sacrifice dinner party, to my hap
Itiness ?"
" | don't sce my love- how your happiness
is affected by my going or staying" replied Mr..
Tins, apologcticaly.
"That is because you will not, Theophil6s,"
replied Mrs Tins, I" because you will not be-
licyc that my happiness is intcrwoven with
yours, and feel that your happiness is threat
encd."
b" Everything J. do causes you 1hharpi-
ness" said Mr. Tins, peevishlS, and Mrs
Tins sighed audibly. g Rattle" continued
Mr., Tins, " can do as he pleoscs, and his
wife never fuds fault with him"

Before his wife had flushed, Mr. Tins had
almost forgotten Ralph Rattle and his party
and, rs she concludcdy he took off his hat, he
put down his gloves, and he placed his cane
quietly in one corner of the room. Still Mrs
Tins urged him to fulfill his engagement, but
he positively declined and the moro that she
insisted the more resolutc he became, until at
length he declared, unequiyocally, that ho
would never more visit Ralph Rattle. Il.

Notwithstanding all that has bocn related,
