II.


John and Cicely were married in the
new year, and, for time, the affairs of
Green, Richards & Van Scbaacht were
left to the careful carelessness of clerks.
John was rich, and Cicely had some
thing of her own, but he disliked VIII at
he called "show," and urged Cicely to
be content with small house and three
maids. He was not stingy, though he
ordered carriage and horses and gave
her very liberal allowance in addition
to her own income.
Their first year of their life together
was delightful time of happiness to
both. 1t was necessary, Of course, for
John to be away all day, but CIcely
nightly enjoyed the novelty of being
married, and found it very amusing to
order things at shops and give her name
as Mrs. Green. Her mother had not
allowed her to read many novels, DEEM
ing them pernicious, and so subscrip-
ton to Nudes seemed like Alsddin's
Lamp for richness of possibility, John
left the City as early as possible and
was generally at home by half past six.
Frequently they went to theatre or
dined out, and there were Saturdays
to Mondays at Brighton or Eastbourne,
besides visits to the Hendon house,
where William greeted them with a
smile anticipat,ry Of half sovereign.
As the second year wore on John
found it necessary to give more atten-
tion to his business. One or two mat
ters had lately gone amiss. giving rise
to an urgent request from the "tlrm's''
New York correspondents that their
instructions should be more closely at
tended to.
John Green showed the letter to his
head clerk and said no more about it,
but he gradually fell back into his old
practice Of stay ing late and seeing to
things himself, instead of leaving them
to those less competent or less interest
ed.

Curiously enough, John always re-

although he forgot far more important
matters, such as business appointments
and invitations to at homes.
John asked where his aunt was.

"Er-I think I'll 60 presently. That's

parted. John rested his elbow on the
gate and did not laugh. After NOM
emit he suggested that it would be as
we'll to go into the garden.
sIn their natural state" he said, Il
prefer roses to chickens, and converse
tion to either"
Cicely pulled her hat down to shade
her eyes from the sun, and followed
him through the gate. It was quite
tea time before they disturbed Johns
aunt in the perusal of her sermon.
As the summer went on John looked
forward with more eagerness than had
been customary to his Sundays at Hen
don. He started little earlier and re-
turned little later, until one morning
be actually got there in time for church.
His aunt did not go to church in the
morning, because she wished William
to 90. and the house without herself or
William was, to her mind, as a castle
unguarded. So it fell out, with an odd
directness of con equence, that John
and Cicely were late for luncheon. And
John said the mutton was the best he
had eaten: but Cicely seemed preoccu.
pied and could not say what the wears
text had been. And Johns aunt said
she had mislaid her spectacles and felt
quite blind, at which even the immac-
ulate William sighed thankfully, as
he remembered. a wine stain Cn the
tablecloth.
When the luncheon had been remov-
ed, William placed on the bare mahog-
any table the fruit and decanter Of
old port, whose color was like the rubies
that fell from the magic song birds
mouth. John tilted back his chair a
little and looked at Cicely, who blushed
and looked at her plate. Then he turn
ed to his aunt and said quietly, with a
gentle smile on his lips. AUNT Jane,
Cicely and are going to be married. !"
His aunt grasped in astonishment.

dear child, ne answered, Kissing
her hand. "You really don't mind?"
She turned away and rang the bell
for dinner. She was bitterly disappoin-
ted at not going, but she concealed it
from John, and after dinner played the
piano to him, while he dozed in chair.
That night was the bsgi nning of
many things. Cicely sought amuse-
ment more at Other hnusas. and went
about with friends insSead of with her
husband. This is the beginning of the
en- d withmany love- match.
John-was now very busy. He sell
dom got home before 8, and very often
found Cicely either going or gone to
some entertainment, to which he was
disinclined to follow her.
They gradually drew apart, living
different lives, and asking less and less
of each other. John grew daily more
absorbed iu his business. He was very
fond of Cicely but he had given up show
ing it, and this is what women hates.
Occasionally, after leaving him to a
lonely evening, Cicely wouldc come down
to breakfast in a repentant mood, wish
ing to put things back as they had once
been. She would make some pleasant
remark, and John would say "yes,
dear, /" or mo, dear" in his Q1iet tone,
and would ask her if she would have
bacon or fish, and then would open the
"Times" and spread it before him like
some hideous bsrricade without a loop
hole, till her warm intentions iced in
pride, and she finished her breakfast
silently.
Cicely ,like:all women who fancy them
selves neglected, crave excitement, and
sought intimacy at houses to which, a
year lack, she would not have cared to
go. She grew extravagant in dress,
wearing clothes for effect rather than
for adornment, and walking conscious.
ly.
In her new "set" it was fashionable
to play roulette, but the stakes were
moderate, and, with her supply of
money, the tlifiing losses were no in
convenience. The excitement, though,
told on her, and perhaps, after a long
evenings play, she would ALLOW com-
pliment to pass unchecked which would
have annoyed her in clamer spirit.
More especially was she lenient to one
man, George Proctor, who, of all her
friends, was the mos5 agreeAble. Ha
was man in whoss nature the animal
somewhat predominated. He had that
sort of cunning which is wrongly called
patience; and he was sub,ls, m liking
himself usely to Cieely, with ths pur-
pose of becoming indispens able.
Cicely liked him; any woman of her
age and inexpsrienee would probably
have done so. He met her very fire.
quently, and often came to the house.
After few months he let fall some
remarks on the "yoke" of marriage,
and the injustice of all laws By de-
grees he gained her confdenee;he learn
ed that her husband was much away
from her, and he treated her as '"ne-
elected soul, i" offering silent sympathy.
Poor CicelyI She was only TWEEN y-two.
and the desire of life was denied to her
she had no child. Matters drew on to
a climax at the end of November; a
lighted taper soon burns down and
hurts ones fingers.
