Horace Manning stood ia. the bar
room Of "The. Wanderers Rest" a ci-
lgatbetween hislips, anda glass ofale
in his hand. Alright fire was burn
ing in the stove, round which a
group Of men were sitting. Each
had. his glass, and nearly every one
had his pipe or his cigar. Curls of
smoke mounted lazily tothe ceiling,
and the air was beginning to take a
faint.bhe tint. 1t was early in the
evening, audlthe men in the bar
room had not yet drunk SO much as
to'lose theif senses or their tempers.
The night was dark and cold. and

nients nf"The Wanderers Rest look

.eting ONES without.
Horace Manning had lately fallen
into the habit of going into the bar
room as he went home from his work,
and Of standing there long enough to
drink a glass Of ale and smoke u ci-
gar. He was tired with being be-
hind a desk all day; and he thought
it rested him to look at the content.
ed faces, and listen to the conversa-
tion and laughter in the "The Wand
erer's Rest" True, thetlush on some
Of the faces was too deep to be the
flush Of health, and the laughter was
sometimes hoarse; but Horace didnot
think of that. He was in no danger,
he thought, Of ever caring to spend
his evenings by that fire, or of ex-
changing his pure complexion for
such a one as some Of his compan,
ions had. eies8 q:
To.nighthe hewas unusually tired. A
mistake made some days ago BY the
assistant book-keeper had been dis
covered, and it had taken Horace some
hours to look over the books andcor-
rect it.
He had not intended to enter "The
Wanderers Rest for he had promised
to take pretty Milly White to lee
ture that evening and he knew that
she disliked the odorof tobacco. He
would not have been quite easy had
he known that Milly's soft eyes had
seen him enter The Wanderers Rest
and that even now she was standing
at the corner of the street watching
auxiously to see him reappear.
Az the tea-table, Horace noticed
that Milly looked sad. Since her
childhood she had lived with his
mother, and he knew every shade of
feeling that fitted over the gentle
face. He could not imagine what
had made her sad, and felt puzzled
and almost irritated at her silence
during their walk to the town hall,
and her apparent indifference to the
lecture. He was very much inter.
ested, and when the speaker grew
more eloquent over the poetry of a
happy household, he turned in a
glow Of admiration to NIilly, and
smiled. The look that answered him
was not such as he was accustomed
toreceive from her; its sadness chilli
ed him.
During their walk home, neitherof
them spike. After their return,
Mrs. Manning saik "TIow did you.

no more. Horace, to put an end. to
his uncomfortable feelings, began d
