THE WAY TO KEEP HIM.
"Out again to ght ?" said Mrs. Hayes,
frotfully, as the husband rose from The tea
table and donnod his great coat
"Yes, | have an engagement with Moore,
| shall be in early, have light in the Ii
brary Good night, and with a careless
nod, William Hayes left the room
always the way" mummurod Lizzie
Hayes, sinking back upon a-sola "Out
every night. don't believe he cares one
bit about me, now and yet we We been mar
rcd only two years. No man can have
more orderly house, am sure, and l nev
er 60 anywhere, l am not a bit extrava-
giant, and yet don't believe he loves me
any more. Oh dear, why is it ? wasn't
rich he didn't marry me for nay money,
aud he must have loved me then-why
does he treat me with so much neglect :"
and with her mind filled with such fretlul
queries, Lizzie Hayes fell asleep on the
sofa,
Let me paint her picture as she lay
there. She was blonde, with small,
graceful figure, and vary pretty face
The hair which showed by its rich waves
its natural tendency to curl, was brushed
smoothly back, and gathered into a rich
knot at the back, ''it was such bother
to curl it,, she said, her cheek was pale,
and the whole face wore discontented eX-
preston. Her dress was neat chintz
wrapper, but she wore neither collar nor
sleeves, "What's the use of dressing up
just for William 7"
Lizzie slept souud'y for two hours, and
then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanced
at the clock, and sighed dreariIy at the
prospect of the long interval still to be
spent alone before bed time.
The library was just over the room in
which she sat, and down the furnance aue,
through The register, voice came to the
young wife's cars, it was her husbands.
"Well, Moore, what's a man to do l

q firm resolution to win back her husband 5

it.
The next morning William came intc
Il the breakfast room, with his usual careless
