decisions reached without his knowledge, And

with one. You don't suppose we're too heavy,

heavy ones, two gentlemen, weighin' two hun
dred apiece, and stout young man on the box

DRAWN an empty carriage, the way she darted

| Then his horse must be perfectly worn out,
| to-day, SAID Isabel, refusing to admit the poor
! fellow directly even TO the honors Of defeat
| He had proved 10 much, and was put out Of
| court with no hope of repairing his error.
| "Why, it seems pity whispered Basil, DIS

don't you sentimentalize his helpless, over

'Perspiratonl Why, my dear, It's the rain!
'Well, rain Or shine, darling, don't want to

ITS the same as Il promise, your not SAVING
that you wouldn't. But don ask YOU 10 keep
your word. don't want TO go round the noun

every well, then, Isabel, III leave you at the
hotel"
In moment ithad come, the first serious dis

such calamities come, from nothing, and it was
on them in full disaster ere they knew. Such q
very little while ago there in the convent gar
den, their lives had been drawn closes IN sym
pathy than ever before; and now that blessed
| time seemed ages since, aud they were further
| asunder than those who have never been friends.

would have done anything for me- "Nho
would have believed that woman Of her sense
would be so unreasonable" he wondered. Both

alone in her room amidst the ruins Of her
life, and Basil alone in the one-horsc car

his happiness. All was over; the dream was
| past; the charm was broken. The sweetness of
their love was turned to gall; whatever had
