SO TERRIBLY JEALOUS.

Josephine Archer was angry. She
pursued her ittlemouth, t~ighteningthe
ruby lips till the last drop of blood
seemed to have forsaken them; she
stamped her little foot, and her big
brown eyes snapped fire as she ex-
claimed in tones savagely kissing:
ooh, the monsterl' that was where
the foot camedown. "And right inthe
face and eyes of society. Kate Bixby
and Belle Bounderly both saw him
gallivanting downt the main street with
her. Oh, oh, OIL"
Atthis point her voice seemed to fail
her; but presently she continued,
ooh, Mr.. Henry Gilman, ifyoudon't
get a piece of my mind when next you
insult me by your presence, then |
shall miss my guess. Oh, you black
hearted, abominable, ~hypocritical,
faithless, wicked, wicked mani"
1t was a terrible blow for poor jose
phine. She was a pretty girl and a
good girl, only IL years of age; bright,
winsome and mostly laughter-loving.
But she didn't care to laugh just now.
She was the light and the JOY of her
home-an only child-the pet and the
playfellow OF both father and moth
or.
Two years previous to this time
Henry Gilman. Esq, a young lawyer
just admitted to the bar; had selected
our thriving, growing town as the field
of his legal labors.
He had been only one-and-twenty
when he first came among us, but he
was a man of powerful intellect, keen,
bright and quick to see and under
stand; a ready and fluent speaker; elo-
quent when warm in debate; scrupu-
lousy truthful and honest; and, with
al, handsome,
Such a man could not fail, and he
did not.
Within q twelvemonth after he had

gained a lucrative practice, and by the
end of the second year; at the age of
20, he was unable to attend to all who
called upon him for professional SER
vice.
And Henry Gilman had fallen in
love with Josephine Archer, and she
had fallen in love with him; some of
her most intimate friends said hehad
fallen desperately inlove; and we think
they were right.
When the young lawyer spoke with
her parents on the subject of his love
they We're rejoiced. They knewnot an
other man in all the world whom they
would have chosen in preference to
him for their daughters husband.
They knew how light-hearted and Inn
pulsive and e~ffervescent she was, and
they believed that he possessed the
qualities, both of head and heart. nee
essary to her happiness.
Gilman had told Mr.. Archer frankly
that he possessed nothing OF worldly
goods upon which to depend for a liv-
ING. His father had died when he was
Is, leaving enough of property for the
support of his mother, with enough to
finish his education.
On the day that I passed my exam
nation and was admitted to the bar
I ceased to draw from thescanty stors
my father left. and / promised my
mother that while she lived / would
not draw another penny; and 1 only
pray that she may live to enjoy the
very last farthing of it,"
So the lover had been accepted by
all concerned, and all had been very
happy in view of the compact.
But a cloud had arisen, as we have
seen, and q storm was threatened.
Morethan onceh Josephineprom-
Used her lover that she would never,
never allow the Spirit OF jealousy to
possess her.
Hehad quickly seen how ardent and
impulsiye she was, and he had told
her:
"My darling, If you should over har-
Dor the green-eyed monster in your
bosom, you would be very unhappy.
1t would poison your blood and em-
bitterl every thought and feeling. So,
my dear, dear girl, don't you do it."
And she had promised that she
would not.
And yet she had let the monster in.
She was about as jealous as q woman
could be, and it vas on acoonnt OF q
blooming young widow-the widow
Kitty Coryden.
The very name was enough to make
one jealous.
"Kitty Corydenl"
Josephine pronounced the name .
