nips about the street, I'd marry him TO-
morrow" she said to her sister one
afternoon as they were sitting together
1 in the room which ought to have been
her uncle's study.
off he wheeled a big barrow, you'd
have to wheel little one," said her
sister,.
"Then Pd do it. / shouldn't mind.
There has been this advantage in st.
Diddulpk's, that nothing can be triste,
nothing dull, nothing ugly after it."
at may be so with you, Nora; that is
in imagination"
"What | mean is that living here has
taught me much that never could have
learned in Curzon Street. l used to
think myself such fine young woman,
but upon my word, think myself q
finer one nown
| 81 don't quito know what you III can
81 don't quite know myself, but 1
nearly know, do know this, thai We
made up my own mind about "na'
mean to do"
"You'u change it, dear, when mamma
is here, and things are comlorGaoIe
again. It's my belief that MI. ulas-
cock would come to you again tomorrow o,
if Won would let him." Mrs. IreVeiyan
was, naturally, in complete Ignorance OF
the experience of TRANSATLANTIC excel
ierre which Mr.. Glascock had encoun-
| tered in Italy. I;
"Bnt certainly should not let him.
How would it be possible after what
wrote to Hugh !" ,u
"All that might pass away" said Mrs
Trevelyan, slowly, after long pause.
Gan what might pass awayi Have l
not given him distinct promise Have
NOT told him that l loved him, and
sworn that would be true to him !
Can that be made to pass away,-eVen II
one wished it ~
HOf course it can. Nothing need be
fixed for you till you have stood at the
altar with a man and been made DIS
wife. You may choose still. lean never
choose again"
al never will, at any rate" said Nora.
Then there was another pause. 1T
seems strange to me, Nora, " said the eld-
or sister, chat after what you have
seen YOU should be so keen to be married
to any one."
"Better drown herself than do as l
have done. Only think what there is
before me. What have gone through
is nothing to it. OF course | must go
back 10 the Islands. Where else am to
livei Who else will take meT
"Come to us," said Nora.
aus, Moral Who are the usf But in
no way weuld that be possible. Papa
will be here, perhaps for six months"
Nora thought it quite possible that she
might have a home of her own before
six months were passed,-even though
she might be wheeling the smaller bar
row,-but she would not say so. "And
by that time everything must be de-
cided."
81 suppose it must"
"Of course papa and mamma must go
back" said Mrs. Trevelyan.
"Papa might take pension. He's
entitled to pension now"
"He'll never do that as long as he can
have employment. They'll go back, and
must 90 with them. Who else would
take me In |"
'Iknow who would take you il, En-
lily" -
'"My darling, that is romance. AS for
myself, should not care where went:
If it were even to remain here, could
bear it,"
az could not, said Nora, deciSively. |
at is so different with you, dear.
don't suppose it is possible | should take
nv boy with me to the Islands; and
how-am Ito go-anywhere-without
him :" Then she broke down, and fell
into a paroXYsm of sObs, and was IN |
very truth broken hearted woman.
Nora was silent for some minutes, but
at last she spoke. "Why do you not
go back to him, Emily !"
GLOW am | to 90 back to himf What
am to do to make him take me back I"
At this very moment Trevelyan was In
the house, but they did not know 1t.
"Write to him." said Nora.
"What am to sayi In very truth l
do believe that he is mad. If write to
| him. shonld defend myself or accuse
myself2 A dozen times | have strlven
| to write such letter,-not that might
send it, but that might find what l
could say should / ever wish to send It,.
And it is impossible. | can only tell
him how unjust he has been, how cruel,
how mad, how wicked"
Gould You not say 10 him simply
this '-'Let us be together, wherever 1T
may be; and let bygones be byGones. "
"While he is watching me with po-
| licemau While he is still thinking
that entertain a-lOverf While be
| believes that am the base thing that
| he has dared to think me 7"
GIITn ln- nnvar ha1iayp1 III !"
Then how can he be such villain
as to treat me like this l could net go
| to him, Nora,-n0t unless l went to him
as one who was known to be mad, over
whom in his wretched condition 1t would
be nv duty to keep watch. In no other
way could ! overcome my adherence OF
the outrages to which he has subjected
me-"
"But for the child's sake, Emily"
| "Ah, yes! If it were simply to grovel
in the dust before him, it should be done.
If humiliation would suffice,-or any
reimbursement that were possible to
me! But | should be false if said that
look forward to any such possibility.
How can he wish to have me back again
after what he has said and donei | am
his wife, and he has disgraced me before
all men by his own words. And what
have done that should not have done,
what left undone on his behalf that |
should have done 1t is hard that the
foolish workings of weak mans mind
should be able so completely to ruin
the prospects of woman's life"
