CHAPTER IN.

From all this it will appear that the
great god-send of rich marriage, with
ell manner of attendant comforts, which
had come in the way of the ROwley fam
ilv as they were living at the Mandar-
ins had not turned out to be an unmiX-
ed blessing. In the matter 81 the quar-
rel. as it had hitherto progressed, the
husband had perhaps been more in the
wrong than his wife; but the wife, In
spite of all her promises of perfect ODE
dience, had proved herself TO be a wo-
man very hard to manage. Had she been
earnest in her desire to please her lord
and master in this matter OF Colonel Us
borne's visits,-tO please him even at
ter he had so vacillated in his own be-
hests,-she might probably have so re-
ceived the man as to have queIied all
feeling of jealousy in her husbands bo.
som. But instead of doing So she had
told herself that as she was innocent,
and as her innocence had been acknowl-
edged, and as she had been specially in
structed to receive this man whom she
had before been specially Instructed not
to receive, she would now fall back eN'
actly into her old manner with him
She had told Colonel Osborne never IL
allude to that meeting in the park, and
IN ask no creature as to what had Occa
sined her conduct on that Sunday; TINS
having n mystery with him, which OF
course he understood as we'll rs she did
And then she had again taken to writ
ing notes to him and receiving notes
from him,-nOne of which she showed
TO her husband. She was more init
mate with him than ever, and yet she
never mentioned his name to her nus
hand. Trevelyan, acknowledging TO
himself that he had done no good by his
former interference, feeling that he had
mt himself in the wrong on that coca
sion. and that his wife had got the bet
fer of him, had borne with all this with
soreness and a moody savagenesS of gen
eral conduct, but still without further
words of anger with reference to the
man himself. Butno on this Sunday,
when his wife had been closeted with
Colonel Osborne in the back drawing
room, leaving him with his sister-ln-
law, his temper had become too hot for
him, and he had suddenly left the house,
declaring that lie would not walk with
the two women on that day. "Why
not. Louis 7" his wife had said, coming
ND to him. "Ncver mind why not, but
shall not" he answered.; and then he
left the room.
"What is the matter with himf" Col
onel Osborne had asked.

matter with him. Mrs. Trevelyan hat

awkward minute or two between Nora
and Colonel Osborne, aaI he took his
leave.
Stanbury at last promised that he
would see Treveiyan, repeating, howev.

sertion, that no task is SO hopeless a.
that of interfering between a man and
his wife. Nevertheless he promised and
undertook to look for Trcvrlyau &C Th,
Acrobats on that afternoon. At last he
got a moment in which To produce the
letter from his sister, and WAS able to
turn the conversation for few minutes
