light-hearted and happy.

~lght-hearte N happy
But other evenings passed when no
body came in, or when her mother or
Nell dropped in to find her alone and
limited that Ned was neglecting her.
They would ooh at her strangely. as
if they pitied her and wondered if she
were happy. Somehow this panied
her. Ned vas good. She loved him
and knew that he loved her; he was
only thoughtless. She said this over
and over to herself, and she could not
bear to see in the eyes of her relatives
the look that accused him.
One night when he had been later
than usual, and when her heart was
overfull, she tried to tell him how he
was paining her, but broke down and
burst into tears.
His face was flushed and he answered
her impatiently:
Nonsense, Addy; don't act like a
baby; you must remember that you
are a woman. You oughtn't to expect
a man to stick in the house all the
time"
1t wasn't so much what he said, but
the tone in which he said il, that hurt
her and made her sob silently until she
fell asleep.
There was something restrained and
shame-faced in his manner os he kissed
her goodbye the next morning and
vent downtown, but in h evening he
returned early and after dinner he did
not go out. He was restless and ner-
vous, and didn't seem to be reading
the paper which he held up before
him. Between husband and wife there
was an embarrassing silence. There
seemed to be no common theme for
them to talk about. They retired early,
and again Adelaide's pillow was wet
with tears.
Her heart was overfull and she want
ed sympathy and counsel. To whom
should she turn? Would not her father
tell her hat she was foolish? Would
not her mother be angry and blame
Ned? Would not Nell pity her? No,
she could go to none of these. Then
suddenly she thought of Mrs. Chatter
ton. She understood Ned. She loved
him. Would she not also understand
the situation and be able Il advise her?
When she had gained courage enough
she went down to her mother-in-law's
and sobbed out the whole story to her.
The old lady took her in her arms as
she would have taken a tired child.
"You poor little girl" aid she, "Ned
has been very bad to you and you didn't
know how to manage him; how should
you? But be patient; we shall bring
the young man around all right" Mrs.
Chatterton bent down and kissed the
GIRL who Law in her arms and
hope sprung up in the young wife's
heart.
1t was a matter of some doubt
whether Ned was most pleased or sur
prised when, on the following night,
Adelaide said to him:
Would you mind going to the club
tonight, Ned? Mother and l are going
out for a little while and / am afraid
you will be lonesome"
Certainly not" he replied, "but /

Delaney proposed that the three
Chattertons come over to his house the
next evening and get their revenge, and
they went. There were more jokes and
bright talk, and. best of all, this time
Ned won.
"How pleasant these evenings are"
he said to Adelaide, as with her on one
arm and his mother on the other he
wended his homeward way, land how
foolish have been to have been wasting
them at the club: we must keep this
up. eh. little girl?" They were just at
Mrs. Chatterton's gate, but Adelaide
put her hand on the old lady's arm.
You are going home with us to spend
the night" she said.
"And there is to be no demur, little
mother" added Ned, sweeping her on
past the gate. She coculd not but con-
sent.
Far into the night, after Mrs. Chat
terton had gone to bed. Ned and Ade-
laide talked. They made plans for flu
ture pleasure, and their youthful joy
seemed the revival of the honeymoon
enthusiasm.
"We shall have such glorious times"
said Ned. Mother is right here near
u.s."
'She must be nearer, Ned" said AIDE
laide. IT want her to live right here
with u.s."

"Ned. I desire it. Don't say no. I've

and I just begin to find how much I
