During the six weeks that elapsed
between that time and our marriage he
drank wine in my presence many times,
and noted with pleasure that he who
was go usually quiet became gay and
witty. But on our wedding day he
drank too much. Even l, who knew
nothing of Temperance principles, be-

him that first glass. I can not tell you
Of that day (she shivered) save that
when I saw him becoming intoxicated

Before a year had passed wine no
longer satisfied his craving and he re-
sorted to brandy. My eyes were now
fully opened, but It was too late. In
his sober moments I tried to reason
with him and induce him to let It alone.
He would only reply: 4 can't, Ellinor,
Iwish l could; but from the moment l
tasted the first drop l was lost man.
You will have to bear it.
He never once argued that he was
all right and walking in . safe path;
he seemed 10 realize his condition and
was sad even to despair. At times he
