FOR HER HE SINNED.

for Helen had been reared in magnif-
icert home, and, during her infancy,
childhood and girlhood, not a want had
been left unqualified. Consequently,
after her marriage she was selfish with

mire as it swept up the broad aisle OF
the church. their union might have re-
suited differently; for even the giddiest
butterfly OF fashion sometimes develops
most wonderful womanliness and good
sense when chance is given her.
But Philips pride sealed his lips so
effectually that, up 10 the date OF our
story, Helen had remained in complete
ignorance of his circumstances.
