considerably more money by t-ade than
her father had done, and perhaps the
greater proiusion of surroundings at her
command than she had heretofore been
mistress Of was not without an effect upon
her. One week, two weeks, three weeks
passed, snd being pre-eminsntly yourg
woman who allowed things to drift, che
did nothing whatever either to disclose or
conceal traces of her first msrrisg4.
While yet within tia first month of her
marriage, and on an ereuing Just before
sunset, b p!ista was standing in her garden
adjoining the house, when she saw passing
slong the road parsonage clad in greasy
black coat and battered tell hat, which.
G mmon enough in toe sluns Of CT y. b d
an odd appearance in ST. Mary's. The
tramp, as ne seemed to be, marked her ct
once-bonnesless and unwrapped as size
was her features were plainly recognizable
and with &c air of friendly surprise came
and leaned over the wal.
What don't you know me?' said he.
She had some dim recollection of his
face bat said that she was not acquitted
with him.
Why, your witness, to be sure, ma'ap.
DSn't you mind the man that was mendipg
tie church window when you and your in
tended husband walked mp 10 be made one;
and the clerk called me down from the
la4dtd, and I came and did my part by
writing my name and occupation"
Baptista glanced quickly around; her
husband was out of ear shot. That would
Rave been of LEES Importance but for the
fact thai the Wedding witnessed by this
persousga had not be' n the wedding with
Dir. H,ddega9, but tie one on the day
previous.
"I'ye had misfortune since then, that's
palled me down." continued hsr friend.
But don't let me- damp yer welded joy by
naming the particulars. Yes, I've seen
changes since; though It's but short time
ago-let me- see, Only a month next week,
l Think; for 'twere the first or SIC nd day
OF August >
YES, that's when it was," said another
man, q sailor, who had cone up with
pipe in nis mouth and felt it necessary TO
join in (Baptista having raceded to escape
further speedy. For that was the first
time set foot IN Hugh Town, and her
husband took her 10 him the slIne day"
A dialogue then proceeded between the
two men outside the wall, which Bap:;sta
c2uld not help hearing.
GAY, signed tie book that made her
one fash, " repeated the decaysd glazisr.
where's her good msn?"
About the premises somewhere; but
you don't see 'sm together much, > replied
the sailor in an uuGertone. "You see,
he's older than she"
go der? l should never have thought it
from my own observation, " said the g'azjer.
she was remarkably handsome man"
Handsome? Well, there he is-we can
see for ourselves"
David H9ddegen had indeed just shown
himself at the upper end cf the garden,
and The glaziar, looking in bewiloerment
from the husband to the wife, saw the lat
tar turn pale.
Now that Gecsyed glazier was far
sesiug and cunning ma1-too far seeing
and cunning to allow himself to thrive By
simple and straightforward means-and
he held his peace till Ia coold read more
plainly tbs meaning Of tais riddle, merely
adding, careless)y: "Well, marriage do
alter a man, tits true. l should never ha'
kuowed himw
He then stared eddy OF the disconnected
Baptista, and moyiugOa to where he could
again address her, rs asked Ter to do him
a Good turn, siace he once Rad done the
same FOR her. Underst sndiDg that he
meant mOrey, she handed him some, at
which he thanked her and instantly went
away.
