"You were old friends, then ?" in some
surprise, for he had never said as much to

" Yes," he returned, reluctantly, for he

"But quarrels can be made up,ilugh;

" Oh no, Hugh" -very much asthma
t this-" I am quite sure you are always
right ; only" -hesitating a little as though
he feared to offend him-" I should like you,
o tell me what the quarrel was about."
For a moment • Sir Hugh remained
bsolutely dumb with surprise; it was as
hough a dove had flown in his face; he
ad never known Fay persistent before.
f only she had migrated herself from the
beginning of their married life, she would
ave gamed more influence over her hug -
and; if she had entrenched herself in her
wifely dignity, and refused to be treate&
ike a child, kept itt the dark about every-
hing, and petted, or civilly snubbed accord -
ng to her huaband's moods, she would have
on his confidence by this time.
Sir Ha& was quite conscious that he
ad beet guilty of a grievous error in not
citing Fay about Margaret before she
ecame his wife; he wished he had done so
rom the bottom of his heart; but pro-
rastination made the duty a far more
Moult one ; he felt it would be so awkward.
ro tell her now, he could not tell how she
night take it ; it might make her iinhap_pys
oor little thing; it would be a pity to dint

He was sheltering his moral weakness
oder thee plausible excuses, but somehow
hey'fidled to satisfy his conscience. He
new he had done a mean thing to Marry
ay when his heart was solely and entirely
argazet's ; what sort of blessing could
ttach to such a, union?
But When Fay begged him to tell her
