could make a good ragout there, her
husband ought to rise up and call hel
blessed, for it was finer accomplish
ment than any he could remember; and
one thing was certain, she was q far
prettier woman than most of them there
that night.
But Jenny did not hear this; and il
she had, it would not have comf0rted
her.
A little later on, one of their old
friends, the wife of q journeyman
printer, in the dear old neighborhood
of the forsaken nest, was startled by
the apparition of a comely face, dear
to the olden time of merriment and
song. but now blurred with tears; and

But Jenny was independent. and
soon got situation far above the one
in which she first saw her husband. As
luck would have it, the old rooms were
just vacated. Mrs. M'Shane had most
of the old furniture; SO before the
month was out Jenny was back in her
nest, but sick at heart, and sometimes
ready to die.
In the meanwhile we must run back
q month to the scene of festivity where
we left Mac with his head high in the
air, and the skirts of the musical prod
ICY trailing full q yard behind her.
Neither Of them missed Jenny till the
splendid repast was ready, and the
guests were not disconsolate for the
society of their hostess. But now,
indeed, it was time for Jenny to take
her rightful place; and with many an
inward prayer that she would be as
little unequal to the occasion as could
be expected of her, and resolve to

heard q broken voice which the thick

something in his face so sad and yearn-

she cried. "Oh, take me to him, wick

She threw back her veil and put out
both her little hands, and Shiel, on the
spur of the moment, caught her in his
arms, excusing the warmth of the re-
ception by the plea that he thought
she was fainting.
They found Mac walking about the
room, somewhat worn and thin, to be
sure, and big, greedy, cavernous hol-
lows of grief in his face; but as he took
Jenny in his arms, these hollows filled
up with JOY, and his whole being seemed
to dilate with strength and gladness.
"Surely you can't be SO very, very i'll,

coaxingly into his eyes.
"rm-rm little BETTER" said Mac,
slyly winking at poor Shiel, and kissing
her again and again.
"Then don't mind being beggar,

"There is the only man to whom 1

pointing to Shiel.
Jenny looked about her rather rue
