asperating to my wounded heart-that
smile. OF course it only added fuel to
flame, and my wrath grew fiercer and
fercer, and overfowed all bounds;
while he only stood and looked at me
with that odd little smile upon his
perfect lips.
''Herer' l cried, angrily, tearing the
ring from my finger, which he had
placed there with loving words: II
end all between us forever
The ring fell from my hand to the
marble hearth, beside which he was
standing; glittering golden circlet it
lay cleaning there. He turned, and,
with slow deliberation, set his boot
heel upon the ring, crushing it into an
unsightly mass.

wrathfully; but he turned coolly and
left me alone.
Then / fully realized what I had
done. In my madness, / had lost him
any own life. Oh! the anguish of the
night that followed. Morning found
me crushed and penitent, feeling as
sured within my heart that had
wronged him; that there was no real
foundation for jealousy in his conduct.
In strangely unexpected way my
assurance was confirmed. For the
morning paper contained the an
nouneenent of the marriage of his
cousin-to another man. Full of re-
morse bowed to the dust with sorrow
and grief wrote him piteous APP
peal for pardon. The burden of my
cry was Forgive. Forgive. Come
back to me- Bat might as we'll
have pleaded with a stone. He would
never forgive me--never.
Days dragged by. My life was one
long pt4 n; the end Of all happiness
had come to me. How could live
without him?
