The evening of the ball Lou was disap-
pointed that her husband did not come
home in time to sec her dressed, but she
could not keep her party waiting, and was
obliged to 20 of without seeing him.
Half an hour later Falconer came home.
He inquired of the housemaid, who had
been reused from nap by the violent jerk
ing Of the parlor bell, if her mistress was
gone out: and s!eepy as the girl was, she
was startled las she afterward averreG by
the look of his face" as he dismissed her.
He went to his own room Where little
Eddie lay asleep, but turned abruptly from
the peaceful picture. The heavy ice of de-
spair lay oil his heart. Falconer & Frost
had failed, and he was a defaulter 10 the
amount of more thousands than he could
ever hope to repay; his good fortune was
gone; nothing but beggary and ruin lay be-
fore him, and the t1isgsaco would be reflect
ed on his wife and child. He passed to
his dressing-room, turned the key on the
inside, and ten minutes later the neigh
bors were startled by the report of
a pistol. They forced the door,
and found that to the name of "bank-
rupt" and swindler," which had been ab
piled to him as soon as the failure was made
public, he had added that Of suicide.
They we're fearful tidings that reached
his wife's ear in the midstof the festivities,
and hurried her home: and vainly might
she, in frantic accent, call on that lifeless
form "only to speak to her once more" and
she would be content to live on dry crusts
in hovel for the rest of her days."
Then she called herself "his murderess."
and wringing her hands necessarily, cried:
Just too far, too far!'
Vain, vain lament!
