what it was to have wish refused,
and she did not understand it now.
She persisted in loving this handsome
and most fascinating adorer, who one
can call nothing better than genteel
adventurer, and she was determined
to marry him. He was poor, she
knew, but she did not care for that;
he had some money, and that would
be enough for them both. Finding
her wilful, and notwilling to make re-
sistance public, her mother gave her
consent to the marriage, but sternly
informing her that7heneeforth not a
dollar of the vast allowance she had
been used to spending would pass
through her hands afterward. Her
mother gave her "a trousseau and
splendid wedding,Sto have public ap-

a sensation at the time.
Her husband had fine suite of
rooms at the Brevoort House luxuri-
ously furnished for his reception, and
the bride spent one week in all the
felicity of which she had dreamed.
She idolized her husband, and he
pretended toalive only for her. Re-

evenings, and in their brief day hours
there was the fondest pleasure that
even fancy could anticipate. But at

The husband began to neglect her,
and be away from her days at . time,
and was penurious with her to de-
gree. An aunt happened to call on
her from a distance, and the young
bride could mot endure to have
!. her 90 away without refreshment,
and so rang the bell for some
biscuit and glass of wine.
llWhen the husband heard of this he
was angry, and sternly forbade any
such extravaganza The end of all
this was that he left one morning for
Chicago without word or warning to
his wife, leaving her without money
and no promise of his coming back.
She sent word to her mother, who
took her home, and as she could not
see her suffer, settled an allowance on
her and gave her a house on Seven
