several mornings, knowing that always

Once or twice we met with word, but
| lodged her, and came later yesterday
morning and to-day in order TO get rid of
her. Bat to-day | was in a different mood
when | saw her, and for few minutes
felt like seeing how far she would go I'M
assisted 1t was wrong in me, but it was
only for a minute; and when, after was
fool enough to put the rose in my coat,
she said, I'm afraid your wife wouldn't
like to see you wear that / answered her,
You are quite right and flung it away
before her face. She got up and left me
in fury at that; she had not expected
such reply. Now. my dear, have told
YOU everything, and God knows | am
sorry that my folly has cost you so dear"
What true woman, on seeing husband
or lover humbled before her, does not inn
mediately feel that in some unaccountable
way she is the only one to blame, and that
he is. as they say in Italy, like white
cloth in the sun? We are sorry to be
obliged to record that after her logical
argument of the morning Mrs. Francis
ended by begging her husbands pardon
in the afternoon: Il should have known
that your only way to put stop to such
annoying attentions was to let them go
far enough to justify decided reproof"
That was the way in which this ingeni-
Gus creature took her lord off his peniten-
tia1 stool and climbed up to it herself,
quite to her own contentment and to his
immense admiration. Mr. Francis was
honest enough to know precisely who be-
longed on that seat, but he did not insist
on changing places. Perhaps he knew
that while he would have made rather an
awkward appearance in the situation, she
was quite at ease in it. He would have
had the pain of real humiliation, while
she being utterly blameless, her sorrow
resembled shame only "as the mist resem-
bles the rain" Indeed, these vicarious
feminine penitcnts have a pleasure which
no one else can know. for all the while
they drape themselves in silken sackcloth
and strew most becoming little powder
of silvery ashes on their hair, down in the
bottom of their hearts, whether they will
look al it or not, a joyful innocense is all
the time dancing like fountain bubbling
under ground.
Meanwhile, the carriage had been wait

the couple in the piazza with the greatest
patience and complacency. When at

embraced her in the eyes of everybody.
"You dear creature how abominably !
have treated you this whole day." she
exclaimed. "And now, finally, million
welcomes TO Rome We have just come,
you know, and will begin to live in it
from this moment. Carrie" she whis-
pered, while her husband was giving
