President H arrison h a t signed the agri­cultural college bill and it is now a law. T he bill appropriates $15,000 a year from the money arising from the sale of pub lic lands fo r each s ta te agricu ltural college and this sum is increased by a thousand a year until It reaches $35,000. This m oney to be used only fo r the benefit o f agricu l­ture and the m echanic arts . The trouble has been in these agricu ltural college* tha t almost every th ing else Jtnt agricu lture 1* taught, and few of tne student* o f the colleges ever re tu rn to tbe fa rm . T he classics h a re received much m ore atten ­tion than ag ricu ltu re and the resu lt 1* the object of these colleges is defeated. Tho money appropriated under the provisions of this new law cannot be used in teach­ing the classics and it is well th a t it can­not. O ur Btale agricu ltural colleges should be all th a t nam e implies, and when the requirem ents of this bill are fu lly met these institutions will be doing tb e work they are designed to do —B ryan Pres*.

Bui do not m o the dangerous alkaline and mercurial preparations whioh destroy your nervous system and ruin the digestive power ol the stomach. The vegetable king­dom gives us tho best and safest remedial agents. Or. Sherman devoted the greater part of his life to the discovery of this relia­ble and safe remedy, and all its ingredients are vegetable. He gave it the name of

Prickly Ash Bitters!a name every one can remembeftand to the present day nothing has been discovered that is so beneficial for the B L O O D , (or the L I V E R , ior the K ID N E Y S and1 lor the S T O M A C H . This remedy is now so well and favorably known by all who have used it that arguments as to its merits aro use­less, and if others who require a correct­ive to tho system would but give it a trial the health of this country would be vastly improved. Remember the name—PRICKLY ASH BITTERS. Ask your druggist for 11.

from ordinary methods has long been adopted by the makers of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. They know what it can d o — and they guarantee it.

Nothing else tha t claims to be a blood-purifier is sold in this way— because nothing else is like the “ G. M. D .”

So positively certain is i t in its curative effects as to warrant its makers in selling it, as they are do­ing, through druggists, on tr ia l!

®*N these hitte r days of tho nineteenth • ceutury it lias become very common W to hear o f all m anner of “ unions.” *3 “ labor unions,’-'—" tra d e s unions,-’

Being a close observer of hum an nature and a lover of the v im an d vigor w ith which the average “ Y oung Am erica” starts out to m ake him self heard and felt in his lim ited .time on th is terrestrial sphere it w ill be a pleasure to us to in tro ­duce to you the subject of ou r story,

. J a m e s E . E d w a r d s , w ho. as n>o.;l peep iesny , is no t only the subj ot of t'.iis story but also a subject of p ity . W hy? Because he bad cast his lot w ith the printers. Though w e differ soihe- w bat, for to us in accepting as a life work tbe “ art, preservative o f ar ts” we think a man accepts one of tho noblest callings.

Y oung Edw ards was a sm art lad, b u t at the age of 9 years was left an orphan bay/aud w ithout relatives in the tow n of D ,Maine. From the tim e he had first learned the value of w ords and letters, it bad been his desire to en ter a p rin tin g office. Shortly after the death of his parents he secured a position in the office of the W e e k l y B u l l e t in as coal hustler and general property m an. T h e “ devil” as some people persist in calling him. H e was not a boy who w anted to commence a t the top of the ladder f tu V n n r was he the king w ho asked a lift up a round or tw o,/but he accepted the position lowly as it was, and at only 60 cents per week and board, with a determ ination to gain some­th ing better. By being ever atleutivo at liis work be gradually grew in favor w ith his employers and in tim e was promoted to yress-boy, com positor assistant foreman and finally forem an of the office.

During all these years gf apprenticeship he had not spent his earnings freely nor his time Idly, bu t haying access to a private library of choice books and using his ex­tra wages at a n ight school he secured for himself an education w hich any boy m ight well be proud of. H e had also through the kindness of the n ig h t telegraph opera­to r at th e it4 spot, been perm itted to spend some ot his odd hours there and completed the art of telegraphy w hen only 18 years old.

T he tow n of 1)- grew and dem and­ed a daily paper and the B u l l e t in people decided to place a “ daily” in the field and secured the use of the “ Associated P ress” reports. E dw ards, a t the age of 20 years, was then m ade Telegraph and City E d ito r and acted in th a t capacity fo r tw o years, 'till in the spring o f 1 8 —, the Chicago Morning Gazette, of Chicago, IU,, was in need of a Telegraph ed ito r and inquired of (lie “ Associated Press" if they could re­fer them to a young m an capable of hand­ling the position and their reply resulted in F.dwards receiving a proposition from • hat pnprr. T hinking a change of clim ate would benefit him and being desirous of seeing the “ wild and wooly w est,” he ac ­cepted the position, b u t on his arrival at the “ W indy city” he was not so favorably impressed w ith his surroundings, as had his immagination p ictured to him . •

H owever, he took a su it of rooms in the second story of a gloom y builSing, the gloominess o f w hich com pared well with tiis spirits, for Edw ards was a young man who loved friends, neighbors and home, b u t in th is busy, bustling city of a hurry- flurry life he had found neither.

H is paper w as the M orning Gazette, hence his w ork was all n ight work He worked aw ay fo r several w eeks speaking to no one except his associates in the edi- torial.room s and began to get weary of his w ork and to " lo n g fo r the old folks at hom e.” B ut a new era was about to dawn for h im . A cross the s tree t from his lodg­ings in tbe th ird story of a fine building he h u d o H tu saw aud adm ired a pretty pot of pansies s itting in .th e w indow and won­dered who could be the ow ner, when one day as he was s itting a t his lonely window thinking of his dear old eastern home, he glanced across and upw ards aud there saw the object of his heart’s desire and longing. The face of a beautifu l young lady, the iininnge of his ideal wife, and to whom his whole love went ou t in the moment.

Here was a .“ »Llft o f scenery ' in young Edw ards’ life. W ith o u t th ink ing or knowing he took h is pencil and tapped in telegraphy these w ords, on tho window : “ I am lonesome, can 't you speak to me t ”

And listen I W h a t ! A nd to his great surprise these words w ere tupped back with d is tin c tn ess: "*

"W h y a rey o u lonesom e ?H e answered“ For w ant o( friends.” «*But she was gone. F o r several days he

saw her no more. Instead of sleeping all day as was his custom , ho now spent m any hours sitting a t his w indow reading,

and w atching upw ards for the longed fo r face.

Severn! times he had "called h e m p ” and she had answ ered and they had h e ld long conversations b u t she w ould n ever tell her nam e nor who she w as nor w hero stre was from. Edw ards became desperate and one gloomy S abbath he called his m yste­rious neighbor across the w ay and tapped off th is message . “ In heaven 's nam e allow mo to coll on you, I am dying fo r the w ant of friends?” B u t she answ ered only “ Uncle,” whom she had said she was vis­iting “ will allow me J o receive no com ­pany, except lad y friends, and if lie knew of our acquaintance w ould bring i t to a speedy close. ”

H e neither saw nor heard anyth ing of her for a week until the nex t Sabbath while he was sleeping, he was aw aked by the fam iliar tap p in g and arose hurried ly only to receive th is message :

“ I leave to-m orrow fo r m y hom e in D akota. .Good bye."

T o Edw ards th is message seemed the announcem ent o f "a paradise lo s t.” bu t at once asked, “ B ut wont you give me your address or w rite to mo ?”

B ut she was gone and w ith h er the light of his life. T he next few w eeks were weeks of agony to him. H e how ever m anaged not to let his leelings interfere w ith his labo’s on the G a z e t t e , bu t was fa s t w inning the favor of his new em ploy­ers by his honesty nnd sftmdfastness at work and the correctness and precision with which he performed his editorial la­bors. One m orning in looking over his mail, he found a letter post-m arked "B rockton , D a k .” an \ w ith no slow mo­tion o r sign of hesitation on his paH he tore opeu the tnvelope an d b ringing its contents to ligh t found it to contain only this address;

: Miss M a m e T u iin e y , ;B r o c k t o n , j

D a k . ;

the address of his ne ighbor w ho had so suddenly left him . He was no t Ion? in sending a reply and every F riday he re ceived a familiar missive.

One cold night while Edw ards was sit­ting a t his key, aw aiting the "P re s s” re­ports and the boys up in the com posing rooms crying "copy ," he received the usu­al call " 11” and prepared him self fo r the message and this is w hat it w as ;

BETRAYED;A DARK MARRIAGE

MORN.

A Romance of Loue, Intrigue andCrime.

B Y M R S. A L IC E P . C A R R IS T O N .

C H A P T E R X X IV —(C o n tin u e d .)B e th o u g h t it bad ta s te in C lara n o t to

h a r e m ain ta in ed longer th e h igh ideal his innocence h ad created fo r her.

N e v erth ele ss when be approaohed her lionise, and h a d the p re sen tim e n t o f her approv ing presence, he was troub led . D oub t and anx ie ty assa iled him .

W hen he saw through th e tree s th e w indow o f h e r room his h e a rt th robbed so v io len tly th a t he had to s i t down on the ro o t of a tree fo r a m om ent.

“ I love her like a m adm an!” h e m ur­m ured . T hen , leap ing u p suddenly , he exclaim ed: -B u t she is only a woman a f te r all. I sh a ll go o n .”

F o r th e first tim e C lara received h im in h e r own apartm en t. She was s ittin g i n an arm -cnair, and , co n tra ry to her cu sto m , had no work in h e r hands.

She appeared calm, though twu livid c irc les surrounded h e r eyes. She had ev idently Buffered m uch, an d w ept m uch.

O n seeing thip dear face worn and h ag ­g a rd with grief}iTjeland forgot th e n ea t p h ra ses he h ad p repared fo r his en trance . H e forgo t all exoept th a t h e really adored Ler.

H e advanced hastily tow ard h er, seized i n h is two hands those o f tb e young lady, an d w ithout spoaking in terrogated h er eyes with tenderness and p ro found p ity .

“I t is n o th in g ," she said , w ithdraw ing h e r hand a n d bend ing her p a le face g en tly ; “I am b etter ; I may even be Jinppy, if you wish i t . ”

T here was in the sm ile , th e lo o k and th e accent o f C lara D en ton som eth ing indefinable, which froze the blood of L eland .

H e fe lt confusedly th a t she loved him , an d yet was lo s t to him ; th a t he h a d be­fore him a species of b e ing h e d id no t understand , an d th a t th is woman, sad ­dened, b roken , and lost by love, y e t loved som eth ing else in th is world b e tte r even th a n th a t love.

She m ade h im a s lig h t sign w hich he obeyed like a ch ild , an d he sa t dow n be­s id e her.

“M r. L eland ," she said, in a voioe trem ­u lo u s a t first, b u t w hich grew s tro n g e r as sh e proceeded , "1 heard y ou la s t h ig h t— p erh ap s w ith a little too m noh patience. I sh all sow , in re turn , ask from you the sam e kindness. I o n have to ld me th a t y o u love m e; and I avow frank ly th a t I e n te rta in a warm affection for you . Such being the case, we m u st e ith e r separate forever, or u n ite ourselves l)y tho only tie w orthy of u s both. To p a r t wojild affect m e m uch, an d I also believe it w ould oc­ca sio n grief to you. T o unite ourselves —for my own p a r t.I w ould be w illin g to g ive you my life; b u t I cannot do i t , 1 can n o t wed you w ithou t m an ifest fo lly . You are younger th an I am , I th in k .” T h en hurriedly:

“B u t th ere is another reason. I do not b e lo n g to m yself. I belong to m y daugh­te r , to my fam ily , to my p ast. I n g iving u p my nam e for yours I would wound—I w ould cruelly w ound a ll th e friends who su rround me. and, I believe, som e who e x is t no longer.

“W ell, s ir ," she con tinued , a f te r a m o­m e n t’s hesita tio n , “I have discovered a w ay by w hich we may avoid b re ak in g off a ir intim acy so p lea sa n t and sw eet to b o th o f u s—in fact, to m ake it closer, i f anyth ing .

C lara D enton regarded h e r com panion anxiously fo r a m om ent, and th e n said :

“ I swear to you th a t I sh all be very h appy if yon only te ll m e you w ill oon- s e n t to w hat I have proposed."s e n t t

H is answ er, when i t cam e, was an im ­p a tien t exclam ation of irony an d anger. T hen he said:

“ You will pardon me, m adam , i f so sudden a change in my sen tim en ts can. n o t be as prom pt as you w ish ."

She b lu sh ed slightly .'y e s ," she said, w ith a fa in t sm ile, " I

The soul o f L eland was a perverted, n o t a base one, and was suddenly touched a t th is w om an's heroism . He rendered i t tho g reatest hom age he could pay, for h is eyes suddenly filled w ith tears.

She observed it, fo r sh e watched with an anxious eye th e s ligh test im pression she produced upon h im . So she con­tin u e d m ore ch eerfu lly :

•A nd see, Mr. L eland . how th is will set­t l e everything. In th is way we can con. tin u e to see esoh o th e r w ithou t danger, because your affianced w ife w ill be a), ways betw een us.

“H e th in k s the world o t M ildred, and I can let h im suspect m y hopes, and th a t w ill en list him in your service. Above a ll, I repeat to you th a t th is will insure m y happiness. Will yon th u s accept the p eo n li.r affection I offer?"

^ eland, by t pow erfu l effort o f will, had recovered h is self-control.

‘ Pardon me, Mrs. D en to n ," be sa id ,

w ith a f a in t sm ile, ‘ bu t th is is all s e s a d ­den an d strange.* T hen abruptly :

*But who ia M ild red Lester? You have never to ld me, an d once you prom ised to do so .”

“ S he is an orphan , of good parentage, and h as b u t one re la tive in the World, a bro ther, who is now traveling. To a ll in . te n ts an d pu rposes, my fa th e r is h e r g uard ian and pro tec to r.”

“S he cam e to you under pecu lia r oir- oum stanoes, I believe?”

“Yes, she was trave ling w ith h er b ro th ­er, an d was seriously in ju red in th e g reat ra ilw ay aooident a t Cos Cob. H e b rough t h er here, an d h ired th e l i ttle cottage be­long ing to u s on th e lower road, b u t soon consented to h e r being tak e n in to o u r own fa m ily .”

“ H er in ju ries affected h e r m ind to a ce rta in exten t?"

T hey affected h e r memory.

“G enera lly speak ing , h e r m ind seems very b r ig h t,” re m arked the gentlem an.

“U nusua lly so; she has a th irs t fo r know ledge, an d seem s to com prehend, as by in tu ition , every th ing she hears an d reads. ”

“A ud now you have to ld me a ll you know ab o u t h er?”

Yes, except w hat you already know, th a t sh e is the dearest, the best g irl in a ll th e w orld."

“A nd, seriously , you wish m e to m arry h er?”

B u t pardon me, dear m adam . W hat is i t y ou ask o f m e? Do you y o u rse lf fu lly com prehend? Have you reflected well ou th is? C an e ith er of us contract, w ith o u t im prudence, an engagem ent of ■uoh a delica te nature?"

B u t i f you give m e any encour­agem ent a t a ll, th is is w h a t I p ropose: You sh a ll secure us respectable quarters in New Y ork, convenient to som e great p h ysio ian—a specia list, and we will re­move th e re w ith th e lea st possib le delay; and w hatever oan be done to resto re her com plete ly to her form er self sh a ll be done.

“I believe—I alm o st know she loves you already , and i f you m arry her I am convinced Bhe w ill m ake you an excellen t wife. T h n k —do th ink , M r. L e la n d ; she is so m uch to m e, I love h er be tte r th a n a sister, I regard h e r—I love her as th o u g h she were my own c h ild .”

S till L eland d id no t Bpeak.“ W ell, take tim e to th in k over i t , ” she

C la ra D en ton fixed upon him fo r an in ­s ta n t h e r beau tifu l eye% fu l l of joy and g ra titu d e , th en suddenly covered h e r face w ith her two hands.

“ T h a n k s ,” she m urm ured; “you are so good! I am very happy?”

She ex tended h e r hand, wet w ith her tears, w hich he took and p ressed to h is lip s, bow ed low, an d left the room.

I f th e re ever was a m om ent in h is fa ta l career w hen th e young m an was w orthy o f adm ira tion , it was th is.

H is love for C lara D enton, how ever u n ­w orthy o f her it m ig h t be, was, neverthe­less, g reat. I t w as the only tru e pasBion he had ever fe lt. ,

At th e m om ent when ne saw th is love, th e tr iu m p h of whioh he th o u g h t certain , escape h im forever, he was no t only w ounded in his p rid e bu t was crushed in bis h ea rt. Yet he took th e stroke like a gentlem an.

H is agony w as well borne. HiB first b i t te r w ords, checked at once, alo n e be­trayed w hat he suffered.

He was as p it ile s s for his own sorrows as he so u g h t to be fo r those of o thers. H e indu lged in none of th e com m on in ­justice h a c itu a l to d iscarded lovers.

H e recognized th e d e o iB io n o f M rB . D en­ton as tru e and final, and was not tem p t­ed fo r a m om ent to m istake i t fo r one of those equivocal arrangem ents by which wom en som etim es deceive them selves, and o f w hich m en always take ad v an ­tage.

H e saw th a t tb e sacred refuge h e had so u g h t was inviolable.

H e n e ith e r argued nor p ro tes ted against her reso lve . H e su b m itted to i t , and nohly k issed the h an d w hich sm ote him .

As to th e m irac le of courage, chastity , and fa ith by w hich C lara D en ton had tran sfo rm ed and purified h e r love, he cared n o t to dw ell upon it.

T h is exam ple, which opened to h is view a divine sou l naked, so to speak, destroy­ed h is theo ries.

One w ord w hich escaped him , w hile pass in g to h is own house, p roved the judgm en t w hich he passed npou i t from h is ow n p o in t o f view.

"Very ch ild ish , ” he m uttored, " b u t su b ­lim e!”

On re tu rn in g hom e, L eland fo u n d a le tte r from his fa th e r n o tify in g h im o f h is siBter’s m arriage with E ugene C leve­land , w hich was to take place in a few dav b, an d req u estin g h im to come to New York w ithout delay.

T he m arriage waa to be strictly private , w ith on ly the fa m ily to a s s is t a t it.

L ela n d d id n o t regret th is hasty sum ­mons, a s it gave him the excuse fo r som e d iversion in h is though ts, o f w hich he fe lt th e need. .

H e was greatly tem pted to leave a t once to d im in ish h is sufferings, bu t conquered th is weakness.

T he next evening he passed a t N a than M etca lfs , and, though h is h ea rt was bleeding, p iqued him self on p resen ting an unclouded brow an d an in scru ta b le sm ile to C lara.

H e announced h is dpeedy departu re , an d expla ined th e reason.

“Y ou w ill p re sen t my best w ishes to your fam ily ," said Mr. M etcalf, “and e s ­pecially to your s is te r; I hope she may be happy. ”

T hanks, s ir; I shall bear your good w ishes w ith p leasure."

As fo r Clara, to te l l o f all the d elioate a t te n tio n s anil exwuimte delicacies th a t th e te n d e r f e m a U 's p lr i t knows so well how to apply to heal th e wound* it has inflicted , how gracefully she g lided in to h e r m atern al an d s isterly re la tions w ith L elan d —to te ll a ll th is w ould requ ire a pen w ielded by h e r own soft hands.

At parting , an d while fo r a m om ent they w ere alone together in the h a ll, she rem inded him th a t be was to secure quarte rs fo r h e rse lf and M ildred in New York.

H e assu red h e r th a t he would n o t for­get, and th a , w ith a gentle p ressu re of tb e hand , departed.

C H A P T E R X X V I.TH E REPTILE MOVES.

T h e H on. Sherw ood E llis to n rem ained in New York fo r som e days. A t th e fo rm al request o f his nephew , h e ca lled upon his o ld friend B ldney L eland , and dem anded fo r E ugene h is d augh te r's hand , a t th e same tim e assuring th e banker th a t he charged h im se lf w ith th e fu tu re o f th e young couple.

In secret. F lo ra l L eland h ad lo n g ad­m ired , an d o f la te had lea rned to love, E ugene C leveland. H er hap p in ess , then , when Bhe heard her fa th e r’! ann o u n ce­m ent a f te r d in n er th a t day, m ay b e im ­agined, b u t can hard ly be described.

Indeed , it w ould be p ain fu l to dw ell on th e joy she fe lt , and her on ly re g re t was th a t Eugene h ad n o t com e to h er in p er­son to press h is Buit.

B ut E ugene h ad not th e h ea rt to d o so. H e rem ained a t hia. coun tin g -ro o m all

Once having resolved on th is m onstrous actions, th e w orst p a rt o f whioh h e d id n o t h im se lf know , he w as determ ined to carry i t th ro u g h in th e m o st correc t m an­ner, and by th is tim e he w as m aster o f all those arts.

A fter h e h ad withdraw n, F lo ra flew to h e r m other, w ee, believing in C leveland , shared h e r happiness, an d th ey sa t to­gether a lo n g tim e, h an d c lasped in hand , looking ou t upon th e garden , dim ly seen by tl)p soft l ig h t of the Btars, the d augh te r bleBsing her m other, h e r friends, every­body, and th e m other th a n k in g G od; both m ingling th e ir hearts, th e ir dream s, th e ir kisses, an d th e ir tea rs—happier, poor women, th an is perm itted long to hum an beings u n d er th e heavens.

T he m arriage to o k plaoe th e ensu ing m on th . Senato r E llis to n was presen t, and when he re tu rn ed to W a sh in g to n th is tim e he was accom panied by h is wife.

At the ea rn est request o f h is b rid e ’s p a r e n tB , E u g en e took u p h is residenoe w ith them , and W arren L eland s t il l had a su ite of ap artm en ts in th e sam e s ta te ly an d oommodious m anion.

H is political cam paign h a d now opened, and he was very busy, v is itin g B oxbury or som e o th e r tow n in th e C ongressional d is tr ic t every day; bu t in order to be n e a r Mrs. D enton, and p a rticu la rly Mil­dred Lester, in w hom —m u st we confess it? —he was beginning to feel a ra p id ly grow­ing in terest, he sp en t m ost of h is n ig h ts in New Y ork.

F in d in g presently th a t h e could n o t a t ­ten d to a ll h is correspondence alone , be began to look about him fo r a private sec­re tary , and soon one p resen ted b im se lf aud was p rom ptly engaged.

I t w as—Oscur Slyme!T he ex traord inary session o f C ongress

Cota endured i t fo r som e t i m e , a n d then , in form ing h er h u B b a u d th a t it was necessary fo r her to v isit New York, prom ptly re tu rned to t h a t city.

A few days la te r Oscar S lym e threw up h is situ a tio n and follow ed her.

T h e next day a f te r his a rriv a l he was in sta lled as W arren L eland 's p riva te sec­re ta ry .

H e lived in the sam e house w ith them . H e cam e early in th e m o rn ing , afte r b reak fast, passed the day in W arren’s private room , and often d in ed 'w ith them , i f he had work to fin ish in the evening.

Instino tive ly , Flora d isliked him from th e first.

“H is nam e Is a bad one to begin w ith ,” she said.

“ Y es,” rejoined her m other; “b u t the m an h im se lf is a good enough c re a tu re , exoept th a t I som ew hat dislike h is c a t­like sty le of looking at one. ”

“1 don’t like h im ,” re ite ra te d F lora. “H e has such a p ecu lia r pride, o r perhaps I should say insufferable vanity , B u t h is great fau lt, in my eyes, is th e scoffing tone he adopts when th e sub ject is re lig ­ion o r m o ra ls .”

E ugene en tered the room in tim e to ca tch h is w ife 's la s t rem ark . H e said n o th in g a t tb e time; b u t th a t day, while th ey were dining, Slym e allow ed him self to indulge in a ra th e r v io len t tirad e of th is descrip tion . I t w as doubtless con­tra ry to all good taste .

“ My de ir Slym e,” said Eugene, qn ietly an d yet ironcally , “to me, an d perh ap s Mr. Leland , these p le a sa n tr ie s o f yours are in d iffe re n t; b u t pray rem em ber th a t, whilo you are a strong-m indod m an, my w ife is a w eak-m inded woman; and s tre n g th , you know, sh o u ld respect w eak­ness.

T h e m om ent he was gone, F lo ra sa id to h e r b ro ther.

"You m ay th in k me indisc reet, bu t pray le t me aBk you a question . How oan you confide all y o u r affairs and a ll your secrets to a m an who professes to have no principles?”

W arren laughed.‘ O h, he ta lk s thus out o f b rav ad o ,* he

answered. “ He tiiin k s to m ake h im self more in tere stin g in your eyes by these M eph istophelean airs. A t bo ttom he is a good fellow.

"B u t,” objeoted F lora, “ he h a s f a ith in n o th in g .’

“Not in muoh, I believe. Yet he w ould not deceive me. H e is an honorable m a n ” ,

F lo ra opened h e r eyes wide a t th is “W ell," said her bro ther, with an am used

look, “w hat is th e m atter. F lo ?”“ W hat is th is honor you speak of?“L et me ask you, s is ," he replied.“ G reat heavens!" she oried, b lush ing

deeply, “I kuow but l i tt le of it, bu t it seem s to me th a t ho n o r separated from m orality is no grea t th in g ; and m orality w ithou t re lig ion is no th ing .

H er h n sb an d , who here to fo re h a d re­m ained s ile n t, looked a t her w ith stran g e eyes, as though he were n o t on ly con­founded but disquie ted by h er p h ilo so ­phy. T hen he gave a deep sigh , and r is ­ing, said :

“ Very nea t, th a t defin ition—very n e a t* “ Yes, by Jove!" e io latm ed h e r brother,

‘ I didn’t know F lo bad so m uch In her!"T hat n igh t, a t the opera, E ugene was

O n th e ir re tu rn home E ugene rem ained silent, oontrary to his custom .

Suddenly be said , b rusque ly :“F lora, are you going ou t shopping

w ith Mr*. E llis to n to -m orrow ?”“ Yes."“B ut yon see her often , it seem s to me

—m orning and evening. Yon are always w ith her.

“ H eavensl I do It to be agreeable to you. Is no t M rs. E llis to n a good associate?"

“E xcellen t; only in general I d o not

adm ire fem ale friendship^. B u t I did w rong to speak to you on th is subject. You have wit a n d d iscre tio n enough to preserve th e p roper lim its. ”

F o r som e tim e a f te r h e r m arriage F lo ra was quite happy , bu t gradually she becam e less so; fo r the first en thusiasm an d first illu s io n s o f m arriage could no t fo r long deceive a sp irit as qu ick and acute as hers, . 1

A young g irl w ho m arries is easily de­ceived by th e show o f an affection of w hioh she is th e objeot.

I t is ra re th a t she does n o t adore h e r husband , and believe Bhe is adored by h im , sim ply because he has m arried her.

T he young h ea rt opeus spontaneously an d diffuses its delioa te perfum e of love an d i ts so ft songs of tenderness; and enveloped in th is heavenly c loud all around i t is love.

B ut l ittle by l i t t le it frees itse lf, and, to o often , recognizes th a t th is delicious harm ony and in tox ica ting atm osphere w h ich oharm ed it cam e only from itse lf.

T hus was i t here; as fa r as the pen can render th e shadow s o f a fem ale soul. Such were th e im pressions w hich, day af te r day, p e n e tra te d the very soul of poor l i tt le Flo.

I t was n o th in g m ore th an th is , b u t th is was every th ing to her.

T h e idea of being betrayed by her h u s­band, an d th a t, too, with cruel prem edi­ta tio n , h a d never risen to to rtu re her soul.

B ut, beyond certain delicate atten tions, she fe lt h e rse lf diBdained an d sliirhted.

M arriage had n o t changed E u g en e 's h ab its ; h e dined a t home, in stead of a t a re s ta u ra n t or hotel, th a t was all.

She believed h e rse lf loved, however, b n t w ith a lig h tn e ss th a t was alm ost offensive.

Yet, th o u g h she was som etim es sad and n early in tears, you could see th a t she d id no t despair, and th a t th is v a lian t l i t ­t le hea rt a ttach ed i tse lf w ith in trep id confidence to a ll th e happy chances the fu tu re m igh t have in store to r it.

E u g en e con tin u ed very ind ifferen t, as one m ay readily com prehend, to th e a g i­ta tio n w hich torm ented th is young h eart, b u t w hich never ooourred to h im fo r a m om ent.

F or h im se lf, stran g e as i t may appear, he was hap p y enough.

T h is m arriage h ad been a p a in fu l step to take; b u t once confirm ed in his sin , he becam e reconciled to it.

B u t h is conscience, seared as it was, h ad som e living fibers in it; and he w ould n o t have fa ile d in th e d u ty he th o u g h t h e owed to his wife.

T hese sen tim en ts were com posed of a so rt of indifference blended with p ity .

H e w aa vaguely sorry fo r the poor g irl, whose ex istence was absorbed and de­s troyed betw een th o se of two beings of n a tu re Buperior to h e r own, and the la te to whioh she was oondemned.

He resolved never to neglect anything th a t m igh t ex tenuate its rigor; b u t he be­longed, nevertheless, more th an ever so le­ly to tbe p assio n w hich was the suprem e crim e o f h is life.

F or h ia in trig u e w ith C ora E llis to n , constan tly excited by m ystery and danger an d conducted w ith profound address Dy a woman whose cunning was equal to h e r beauty , con tinued as strong, af te r m on ths Of en joym ent, as a t first.

The gracious courtesy o f E ugene, on w hich he>piqned h im se lf, jas regarded his wife, had its lim its, as Flora perceived w henever she a ttem p ted to abuse it.

T hus, on several ocoaBions, she de­c lin ed receiv ing com pany, on th e ground o f indisposition, hop ing her husband w ould n o t abandon h er lo h e r solitude.

She w as in error.Eugene gave her, in reality , under these

c ircum stances, a te te-a-te te of a few mo­m en ts a f te r d inner; bu t lRter he would leave h e r w ith peffec t tranqu illity .

P erh a p s in an h o n r she w ould receive a packet o f b onbons, o r a pre tty basket o f choice fru it, th a t would perm it her to paBB the evening as best she m ight.

These l i tt le g ifts she som etim es shared w ith her m other, som etim es with Slym e, her b ro ther 's secretary.

Slym e, f o r w h o m she h a d a t f i r s t c o n ­c e iv e d a n a v e rs io n , waB g ra d u a l ly g e t t in g in to h e r g o o d u rao es.

In th e abBenoe o f Eugene, she always fo u n d him a t han d , and referred to him fo r m any l ittle details, such as addresses, in v ita tio n s , the seleetion o f books, and the pu rchase of p ictures.

From th is came a certain fam iliarity ; she began to call him S lym e, o r fr ie n d Slyme, w hile he zealously perform ed all h e r little com m issions.

H e m an ifested fo r her a great deal o f re sp ec tfu l atten tion , and even refra ined from indu lg ing in the skeptica l sneers w hich h e knew displeace 1 ber.

H appy to w itness th is reform and to te s tify h e r g ra titude, she in v ite d him to rem ain ou two or th ree evenings when he cam e to her room s to take bis leave, and ta lk ed w ith him of books and the th ea­ters. ■ ' 1

B eing indisposed for some little timo, E ugene p assed th e first two eveningB with her u n til n ine o'clock. B u t th is effort fa tig u ed h im , and the poor woman who h ad alre idy ereoted an edifice for the f u ­tu re on th is fra il basis had the m ortifica­tio n of observing th a t on the th ird even­in g he h ad resum ed his bachelo r habits.
