CHAPTER XII.

| THE PLOT IS THICKENED BY MR. GRACIOUS
After his last parting with Vanity, Willie
Snow spent sespless night. It was no
easy matter to comply with Vanity's de-
mands, and, at the same time, maintain in
the eyes of the world the appearance Of a
rational being Bound to keep the facts
secret, how could Willie explain his conduct
to his friendss He was to throw up his stua-
tion, leave his home, settle in foreign land,
and the only reason he could allege for thus
tearing his life asunder must be Shylock's--
SIT is my humor." Willie reflected with
some modification that his acquaintance
would say that he had gone out of his mind.
The prospect of setting out for new
country was not, indeed, without its charms.
He had small capital, and though he could
not Immediately decide what line Of life he
| should pursue, he was free from anxiety.
Besides, to young men the very idea of for
| eign lands is inspiriting; they have not sense
enough to value their own. Then Vanity
would be with him--he and she together
sharing sweetness and tolls as only lovers
can II he could but take flight secretly,
lodging all those terrible questionings with
which his kind friends would be sure to tor
ture himl If he could only disappear from
England without notice, and report progress

ence! But, as general rule, the happiness Of
| two lovers and the requirements of human So
ciety do not coincide. Life has thorns with
which to torment us, even under cover o.
| the blushing rose-leaves of wedding days.
Turning matters over in his mind, Willie
came to q prudent conclusion. He reflected
that, after all, the secret difficulty which SO
much disturbed Vanity might be to great
extent imaginary After their marriage,
when she con6ded all to him, its dimensions
might be much reduced. Accordingly, he
decided not to break with England and home
all at once. He resolved to ask for three
months leave Of absence, Judging, like the
careful young man he was, that If, when
Vanity and he were man and wife, there still
appeared necessity for emigration, then
would be the time for giving notice to his
| employers. This plan relieved his mind
| immensely. It screened him from that severe
| cross-examinaton which so startling a step
as leaving England forever must have drawn
| upon him. Still better, 1t postponed the step
itself to time when cooler Judgment and
clearer sight would be possible. So Willie
steered through the rocks and rapids Of his
4 present course.
He had another trouble. His promise to
me bound him to disclose all he proposed to
do; and he told me like an honest young fel-
low, though his cheeks were pale, and once
or twice tears stood in his eyes. Now, what
j was poor old DR.. Book to say? OF course
advised, argued, scolded, even pretended to
lose my temper, which did no good in the
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-09-10

Afterward shs grew more tranquil, and
still they talked The saffron Of the sunset
had died of the west, and the stars were
shining. Willie felt happy now in spite of
bis sacrifice Vanity had been speaking
freely, delightlng him with her freshness,
her simplicity and curious mixture ct
childish pleasures and womanly good sense,
!. While could NOS but wonder that she, frae
and familiar with strangers, was 70 modest,
