and he could tell things to Mr.. Bide-
awhile which he could not bring him
self to tell to any other living man;
and he could generally condescend to
accept Mr.. Bideawhile's advice, knowing
that his, father before him had been
guided by the same.

Stanbury knew at once, from the tone
of his friends voice, that there was
something wrong.
"And Louis the less 7" he said, asking
after Trevelyan's child.
"He's all right"
"And Miss Rowleyf When one begins
ones inquiries one is bound to go through
the whole family"
"Miss Rowley is pretty we'll" said
Trevelyan.
Previously to this, Trevelyan when
speaking of his sister-in-law to Stanbu-
~, had always called her Nora, and had
been wont to speak of her as though she
were almost as much the friend of ore
of them as of the other. The change OF
tone on this occasion was in truth occa-
stoned by the sadness of the mans
thoughts in reference to his wife, but
Stanbury attributed it to another cause.

to himself, "and at least he should not
show that he is" Then they parted,
Trevelyan going into winnings bank,
and Stanbury passing on towards the
office of the Daily r.
Stanbury had in truth been altogeth-
or mistaken as to the state of his friends
mind on that morning. Trevelyan, al
though he had, according to his custom,
put in q word in condemnation OF the
newspaper line of life, was at the mo-
ment thinking whether he would not
tell all his trouble to Hugh Stanbury.
He knew that he should not find any

been mentioned, he had not thought OF
her. He had simply repeated tie name
with the usual answer. He was at the
moment cautioniug himself against q
confidence which after all might not be
necessary, and which on this occaslo on
was not laade. When one is in trouble
it is n great ease 10 tell ones trouble to
a friend; but the then one should always
wash ones dirty linen at home. The
latter consideration prevailed, and Ire
velyan allowed his friend to go on with
out burdeniDg him with the story of
that domestic quarrel. Nor did he on
that occasion tell it to Mr.. Bideawhile;
for Mr.. Bideawhile was not found at his
chambers.
