Allan Moore had known that Mary bad
her faults but be had also known that
her heart was good and trde, and in his
great love be found the assurance of peace
and Joy.
They had been married three years, and
a cloud was upon the housenold. And
whose was thc lauhs Allan examined
himself very closely, buth eoudnot dis
COW that he had done wrong. And yet
Mary was neither happy herself, nor did
she Try TO make lin happy. His busi-
ness had increased until he had as much
business upon his hands as he could
possibly attend to; he labored early aud
hate; be toilcd without ceasing but the
sympathy which he had expected At
home was not his, The result was that

continually, In short bis home was very
far from being happy one, and open
rupture was frequent. Mary had become
fretful and fault-fnding, and instead OF
sympathy with her husband in his engros-
siug aud oft-tmss per- lexinL business,
she would not permit him TO mention his
business in the house.
Mary was growing TO have sharp fea-
turcs, aud the old look ofbeauty was dis
appearing. But upon Allan the change
was working with deeper effect lie was
growing thin and pale, and there were
shoots Of pain aud mysterious throbbings
at the Leart; and the pain was growing
deeper
