A GATHERING TEMPTATION.
ny MRS. M. l.. RAYNE.

When Leander Clarke married Mabel
Thorpe, he had no expectation Of ever
being rich man, but us his Affairs ap-
pear at the present time he is on the
broad highway TO future wealth. II
all arose from the fact that he took
time by the forelock, the only way
poor mortals have Of ever getting even
with him Of the scythe and hour-glasa
But II Is this very thing that Is caus-
Ing him such lot Of mental anguish
now, making his nights sleepless, and
threatening TO undermine his domestic
peace.
Mabel Thorpe laid no claims to So
cial distinction when Leander met her
first at some entertainment, where
she rendered selections Of classic
music In such mastery manner,
that he, being . lover Of music,
was instantly attracted to her side,
and stayed there during the even.
Ing. For the rest she wore glasses,
hairr uoar.rtvhtad aud hn v{uU hoon
crodro,sd from nm osstorn collage
was rather stiff and pedantic In her
manner-a grateful change from tho
