pathy Was not present in our case.
All our needs were provided, and
during this time we had no single
cause for anxiety, il it be excepted
that memorable afternoon when Ger
aldine had the face-acbe. We spent
the spring it London, the summer
at Zurich, the autumn in Perthshire,
and then to Cadogan Place again.
We had a dozen tiffs, two serious
quarrels. The cause of number one,
my cruelty. Charmed by the rem
contre with an old school chum, I
had stayed at the club until fifteen
minutes beyond midnight, and had
reached home redolent of tobacco.
Geraldins's thoughtlessness gave
rise to number two. I had only
half read the third volume Of the
novel of the hour, when wife re-
turned it with others to the library.
We decided thereupon that it would
be better to separate: and the hu-
NOR and black looks lasted for
eight hours-then followed the po-

handsomer dog looked handsomer
than ever. It is true that he spoke
of the hardships of his late occu-
patton. Eighteen hours were given,
should light permit, to labor of the
roughest kind, six only to rest and
recreation. His food has been Of
the humblest, his pleasures extremely
limited. This was Charley's story.
His healthful looks were certainly
ruddier than the cherry; but among
our sallow faces the contrast was in
his favor. Hard work he may have
done, yet his hands were white.
soft, and shspely as Of yore. His
curly locks were tended with the
same care as in old times, and he
was, if that were possible, better
dressed than ever. Moreover, his
silvery speech was yet more mu-
sical to woman's ears, when he
told of his hardships, and of bear
hunts, and other imaginary perils by
flood and field, in which the one
and only hero had been himself.
I was extremity glad to see Charley
Msrtindale again, and yet more
pleased that Geraldine viewed the
matter as I did, and extended q
warm welcome to the poor fellow.
For my conscience pricked me con-
corning the cause Of his expatria-

well-appointed little establishment.
