tna WAS nnt hirh. and he had opnortnni,

by Boxzle's presence. Yet he came grad
ualy to believe in Bozzle. Bozzle alone
believed in him. There were none but
BoEzle who did not bid him to submit
himself to his disobedisnt wife. And
then as he came to believe in Bozzle,
he grew to be more and more assured
that no one but Bezzls could tell him
facts. His chivalry, and lsye and
sense of woman's honor, with something
of manly pride on his own part,-so ne
told himself, had taught him to be-
lieye it to be impossible that=his vito
should hsyssinned. Bozzle, who knew
the world, thought otherwise. Bozzie'
who had no interest in the matter, one
way or the other, would find out facts'
What if his chivalry and love and man
ly pride had deceived himH There were
women who sinned. Then he prayed
that his wife might not be such Wot

ways. Could it be that she was so oaSe
as this,-so vile a thing, so abJect' sucn

such cases. Nay, were they not almost
numberless He found himself reading
in the papers records of such things
from day to day, and thought thai III

were so, he had indeed done well 10
separate himself from a thing so lnla,

il be that that man had gone to her I'D

by her not to 90 TO her, or to write TO
her again, because of her husoands
commands. He had shown this to BOZ
zle, and Bozzle had smiled. tits just
the sort of thing they does" Bozzle had
said. "Then they writes another by
post" He had consulted Bozzle as TO
the sending on of that letter, and Boz
zle had been strongly of opinion that
it should be forwarded, a copy having
been duly taken and attested by him
self. 1t might be very pretty evidence
by and by. If the letter were not for
warded, Bozzle thought that the omis-
sion to do so might be given In evil
dence against his employer. Bozzle
was very careful, and full of"eyidence."
The letter, therefore, was sent on TO
Colonel Osborne. ''If there's billy .dous
going between 'em we shall Mobile 'em,"
said Bozzle. Trevelyan tore his hair In
despair, but believed that there would
be billy-dous.
He came to believe everything; and,
though he prayed fervently that his
wife might not be led astray, that she
might be saved at any rate from utter
vice, yet he almost came to hope that IL
might be otherwise,-Dot, indeed, with
the hope of the sane man, who desires
that which he tells himself TO be for his
advantage, but with the hope OF the ln-
| sane man, who leves to feed his griev.
ance, even though the grief should be
his death. They whe do not under
stand that man may be Drought TO
hope that which of all things 10 the
most grievous to him have not observed
with sufficient closeness the perversity
of the human mind. Trevelyan would
have given all that he had to save his
| wife; would, even now, have cut his
tongue out before he would have ex-
pressed to any 0ne-save TO Bozzle-a
suspicion that she could in truth have
been guilty; was continually telling
himself that further life would be i'm
possible to him if he and she, and that
child of theirs, should be thus disgraced;
and vet he expected it, believed 1t, and,
after fashion, he almost hoped 1t.
He was to wait at Turin till tidings
should come from Bozzle, and after that
he would 60 on to Venice; but he woald
| not move from Turin till he should have
received his first communication from
England. When he had been three
DAYS at Turin they came to him, and
among other letters in Bozzie's packet
there was letter addressed in mis- wlte't
handwriting. The letter was simply
directed to Bozzle's house. In what
possible way could his wife have found
out aught Of his dealings with Bozzle
where Bozzle lived, OF could have
1 learned that letters intended for hin
should be sent to the mans own resi-
dence Before, however, we inspect
the contents of Mr.. Bozzle's despatch
we will 90 back and see how Mrs. Ire
velyan had discovered the mannei OF Tor
warding a letter to her husband
The matter of the address, was, in
deed, very simple. All letters for IRE
velyan we're to be reGirected from the
house in Curzou Street, and from the
chambers in Lincoln's Inn, to the Aero
bats Club; to the porter of the Aero
bats Club had been confided the secret,
not of Bozzle's name, but OF Beetles
private address, No. 90, Stony Walk,
Union Street, Borough. Thus all let
tiers reaching the Acrobats' were duly
sent to Mr.. Bozzle's house. 1t may be
remembered that Hugh Stsnbury, on
the occasion of his last visit to the par
souage of ST. Diddulph's was informed
that Mrs. Trevelyan had a letter from
her father for her husband, and that she
knew not whittier to send 1t. 1t may
we'll be that, had the matter assumed
no other interest in Stanbury's eyes than
that given to it by Mrs. Treyelyan'a
very moderate anxiety to have the let
ter forwarded, he would have thought
nothing about it; but having resolved,
as he sat upon the knife-board of the
omnibus, the reader will, at any rate,
remember those resolutions made on the
! top of the omnibus while Hugh was
smoking his pipe,-having resolved that
! a deed should be done at st. Diddulph's,
at once He would not allow the heat
of his purpose TO be cooled by delay.
He would go To St. Diddulph's at once,
with his heart in his hand. But it
might, he thought, be as well that he
should have an excuse for his visit. So
he called upon the porter at the Aero
bats, and was successful in learning Mr..
Trevelyan's address. "Stony Walk,
Union Street, Borough" he said to him
self, wondering; then il occurred to him
that Bozzle, and Bozzle only among
Trevelyan's friends, could live at Stony
Walk in the Borough. Thus armed, he
set out for st. Diddulph's; and, as one
of the effects of his visit to the East Sir
Marm3duke's note was forwarded to
Louis Trevelyan at Turin.
