I. The manager Of the seacliff Hotel

@smiled ingratiatingly at the couple
before him; Mr.. Thompson, stout,
aprosperous and niddle-aged; Anne,
SLENDER, blonde end lovely, with

A Away from her husbands eyes she
drew her breath hard, her gray eyes

BY MRS. BuRcKHARDT.

It was such q stale device by which
they had been parted that it seems al
most impossible Anne could have
been taken in by it! But, after all, q
well-brought-up girl does not lightly
suspect her mother Of such an extreme
measure as suppressing letters from
an ineligible lover; and Mrs. Oarruth-
ers' daughters were eminently we'll
brought up, so, when Charlie Dacre's
letters suddenly ceased, she began to
believe that the popular opinion as to
his Inconsistency was we'll founded.
She suffered good deal uuder the
belief; her wrists grew so slender that
her bangles were too big; the roses
faded out Of her cheeks, and the once
ready smile came and went infre-
quently, and Mrs. Carruthers was
genuinely sorry for her child. She
supported herself, however, by the re-
Fiction that it was all for Anne's ulti.

Mr.. Thompson was obviously only
too ready to marry her, and endow her
with his twenty thousand q year, his
big country house, his moor in Scot.
land, and his share in the business Of
Thompson, Goodrich & Co.; and Mrs.
Carruthers was sure that Anne would
be happier in the long run as his wife
than to young man with nothing but
his pay and good looks. Mr.. Thomp.
son was forty-Ave, rather bald; but
personal experience had taught her
that after q few years a husbands
banking account is of infinitely more
Importance than his looks, so she felt
justified on high moral grounds in
putting stop to one engagement, and
doing her best to bring on another.
At first Anne resolutely avoided Mr..
Thompson; but by degrees the kindN-
ness of his manner aud the sense that
other women would gladly have had
his attentions gratifed her; and then
q feeble longing to be revenged on
Charlie, to show him she was not wear
ing the willow for his sake, grew upon
her. Moreover, she was Of an affec.
tionate nature, and the disgrace In
which she had felt herself with her
mother during the time she had held
herself bound to Charlie had weighed
on her heavily, and she turned eagerly
to the approval which graciousness to
Mr.. Thompson brought her.
So it is not to be wondered at that
less than year after Charlie had gone
West with his regiment, Anne found
herself awaking on the day of her we'd
ding to Mr.. Thompson.
She lay on her little white bed look
ing dreamily around the room, lit
tered with all the -paraphernalia Of
packing. Her going-away dress was
stretched across two chairs, q huge
trunk, gaping open, gave glimpse Of
dainty cambria and lace, and across
the passage she knew her wedding
gown was displayed on the spare room
bed; but her imagination refused to
realize that she was indeed going to
be married, though the previous night
she had seen the drawing room
blocked up with costly presents, such
or Mr.. Thompson's wife was likely to
have, and the dining room already laid
for the breakfast. Smart clothes,
diamonds, and excitement are some-
times very effectusl in dragging the
