Paul Forrest, who sae looking at her so

ICI tures thin almost to sharpness. He look-

only man, with a slight tendency to think
o well of himself.

far• as elle knew, infiueeced Hester to the
slii'allest extent in her whole life.
Thetwo girls lived with their grarid'-
mother and aunt, who allowed them perfect
liberty, and never thought of interfering•in
their affairs,
Theirs was an odd household, of which;no;
member sought.the .confidence, consulted nor
tools the advice of any other.
On this evening the grandmother had gone
to led, and `Ther datighter had z had
of
youths in the school -room. ,
There was no one tp rilotide the agitation
of the girls, or to' comment when Hester
went upstairs, 'and Christine sat down, sad
and thoughtful, in the drawing -room.
How cold and ealm she is ! amused
Chrissie, but she did not understand her
sister.
Hester was far from calm as she sank on
her bed, and leaned her hot brow on the
cold 'iron of the foot. ,
"How unconcerned he was 1" she said,
aloud. " He did not even care whether I
said 'yes' or 'no'. I am a piece of furniture
that pleases hili, and he has• made a bid."
A burning tear or two came to her eyelids,
and then retreated.
" Why did I yield so easily?" she asked
herself. " Because I know he would never
have asked me again, I suppose. And
what then? Anyone who could read my
thoughts would think I wanted to be his
wife. Well, he will be easily conteuted. I
have only to look well, to dress well, and
receive his guests in a way that will do him
credit. Ard I must never be ill, or tired,
or dull, or he will repent that he married
me. If I were ill, what would be do ? Send
for a doctor, I suppose, and go away until I
was well again."
A bitter smile crossed leer fitee, and then
came another thought:
" And if he wore ill, what then ? Why, I
should nurse him, wait on him, smooth his
pillow, read to hien, poor fellow, until he
could not do without me. I almost hope
that when we are married he will bo ill.'
She went to the glass to straighten her
hair, which she usually wore•brushed per-
fectly smooth. It was loose now, and the
rough, light hocks about her forehead almost
transformed icor. The rellootion was of a
really beautiful woman.
" He shall not be so indifferent. I will
make him—I--"

a laugh and a sob, covered her flushed face

CHAPTER II.
It was 011 an August evening in the fol.
lowing year that Paul Forrest, wearing a
rather depressed and gloomy air, sat on the
window -seat in a prettily -furnished room
reading a letter, at..' looking from it to his
young wife, who was' eeennied with some
needlework.
" Chrissie writes in very good spirit.;?' he
said, as though that fact were rather err
injury than otherwise.
Yes, I envy her," Hester answered,
coldly. " Those two aro perfectly suited to

and dark and dead.
When three struck, she was standing at
her front door, listening with strained
sepses, while before leer loomed like some
dread spectre, the vision of a future without
Paul. Oh ! for some kind soul to speak to,

Paul's brisk tread. Would it pass the
house? She pressed her hands to herbreast
as it drew nearer. No 1 There was the
click of the gate -latch. It was he, for he
shut the gate after him. Then came the
sound of the key in the door.
Hester stood by the table steadying her-
self with one hand, her face like white
marble, when Paul came in.
" Hester 1" he cried out, and then sprang
forward for he saw that sled swayed, and
could scarcely stand. She tried to speak,
but vainly, and her head fell forward on his
shoulder.
When she came round, she was lying on
the sofa, with her husband bathing her face
with cold water, She sat up,'andlooked at
him anxiously..
" 011 ! Pant," she amid with a sob, " T was
beginning to think something terrible had
happened to you. What kept you so late?"
I(ept me I 1 have been walking ; that
is all. Why did you sit up ?"
tiester'e eyes were still intent on his
features.
" Something is the matter. Aro yonwell,
Paul ?"
He shook his head. He was still on one
knee beside her, and she laid her hand, that
trembled, on his shoulder.
" I am your wife, dear," she said, with a
strange timidity. "If you have any trouble,
I ought to know."
" Never tided me," he returned, "Were
you really so anxious, Hester ? Iam glad."
" Tell me," slie entreated, more earnestly,
without heeding his interruption, " what
dons it mean, Paul? Why did you go and
walk about all these hours, until you are
quite worn out 1"
" I was worried," he said, abruptly, and
tried to rise, but his wife held him by his
arm.
' • I must know," she persisted, an excit-
e1 flush tinging her cheek. "" Aro you un-

A light gleamed into Paul's mind. Was
it possible that he • a:l been again mistaken?
He looked eagerly into his wife's face which
was full of loving anxiety.

They were very young and very happy,
consequently they said many things that, if
Hester could have heard them would have
made her shudder with disgust and curl her
lip in contempt.

" Wrong ?" said nester, calmly. "Noth-

Her voice was already under command,
and when she had dried her eyes scarcely a
trace of her agitation remained.
" Chrissie, I have some news for you."
Christine turned pale.
" Bad news?" she asked with some appre-
hension.
" Neither bad nor good. haul has asked
me to be his wife, and I have promised."
" Oh, Hester ! 1 never guessed, never
dreamed, that you loved each other !
Hester rose suddenly.
"Don't be romantic, child ! We like

boy is that delightful and never to be re-
peated. age when a healthy boy can't hear
the dinner bell in the midst of "the xt'ilot,"
and forgets. when bedtime comes if he is
aboard' the Water Witch, orwaling with the
"Red Rover." So even thedull and muddy
mind of the landsman will understand, as
well as Cooper's self, what I mean when 1
say " she "was "standing"for us, when I
explain that " he"was driving a yoke of red
steers, which stand a great deal faster than
they go.
Thenwe hailed the ancient mariner of
the furrowed fields and asked for his longi
tude. He shifted the " ox gad" a little
further down to a thiner hand hold, and we
hastened to exchange the expression by in-
quiring the road to "Cobb's Corners."
"Why,' yes," he said, greatly reassured
to learn that we were rational enough to
to know what we wanted, "you're right
on your way now. Keep right on until ye
come to the first road north, and that'll
take ye straight to the Corners," When we
asked which side of our road the north road
would be when we got to it he leni.e*pity-
ingly at us and said :
" On ,nor right hand,"
We thankedhim and started on, when lie
called after us, " Lost, ain't ye?" We hesi-
tated a moment, and thenowned up like a
little man.
"Thoughtso," replied the Ancient Mari-
ner ; then he paused a moment and called
again :
" Town people, ain't ye ?"
We blushed paiufully,hung'our heads and
pleaded guilty.
Well, conversationl1se chilled for a mo-
ment, but we were so glad to be found again
that depression seemed passed away. In
about half a mile we calve to the first road
to the right and followed it. We' met
another man very soon—men when you are
lost are like matches ; if you have but one
it goes out, if you have two you are always
sure to find a pocketful, and every one of
them burns like a torch.
He told us, in answer to our enquiry—
for we had grown hardened with what
Sairey Gamp denominated " bragoon bold-
ness"now—that this road led due north.
When we asked hila how far it was to Cobb's
Corners, he said we wero on the wrong
road.
Aghast, we quoted the Ancient Mariner
to Trim.
"Yes," the new pilotsaid, " that's right.
but he didn't mean fur ye to take this road.
You go back to the main road and take the
next road to Carter's Ferry ; he thought he
knowed that."
So back we went and drove on once more
in search of the genuine road to the north
and right, all others being impostors. 13y
and by we found it, followed it a couple of
miles, and met a boy, to whom we pro-
pounded the usual questions.
"Good land," he said, "you're Clear out
o' the way, you're moron half way tc:
Stringtown. You go batik to the main road
and follow it past the first road to the
right that goes to the stone quarry, and
past the second road to the right, that's n
-nil' road, and then qou come to a little bride
schoolhouse on the right side of the road
from it; and take the road to the right
side of the richt there, and you'll get to
Cobb's Corners in a mile and a half."

self. "After all my straggles, after all I
have done, be is longing to get rid of inc. I
have striven so hard, tried every means,
every art I know. I have made myself as
fair as I could to please hint ; have been
gentle, loving, as I never was to anyone be-
fore. Then I have been distant and cold ;
and lastly, I have tried to rouse him to jeal-
ousy. And now he asks me if we lead not
butter part ! Oh, will nothing move him?
Will be always turn from me?"
She looked at her watch. It was ten
o'clock ; so she rang and told the servants to
go to bed. And, iu spite of Paul's words,
she determined to await his return.
She had nothing to divert her thoughts,
which revolved round the same point.
Chrissie and Ted, at whose foolish romance
she had laughed in her ignorance, were per-
fectly, blissfully happy, while she and Paul,
who had thought themselves wiser in their
generation, were obliged to own at last that
they bad made a great mistake.
Hester was not given to weeping, but in
those lonely hours she cried long and miser-
ably. Strive as she might to win his love,
Paul did but grow more weary of her—that
was the burden of her grief.
The clock striking twelve roused her.
Would she be fair in Pauls sight with her
eyelids swollen with shedding tears? She
ran upstairs and bathed them, then rear-
ranged her hair, concealing, as far as pos-
sible, the traces of her agitation.
Her husband hacl not returued whet she
went down again. She took up a, book and
tried to interest herself in its contents.
For a time she contrived to fix her atten-
tion on the page, but at last,she laid it aside
and began to walk to and fro.

Useful Things to Know.
There is a time for everything iu this
world, and so it is that the best time to get
fitted to shoes is in the latter part of the
day. The feet are then at their maximum
of size. Activity naturally enlarges them
Much standing tends also, to enlarge the
feet. New shoes should always be tried on
over moderately thick stockings. Then you
have a margin of room by putting on thin-
ner stockings if the shoes feel ill at ease.
Oil of wintergreen and olive oil mixed in
equal parts and applied externally will give
almost instant relief from rheumatic pain.
On account of its pleasant odor this lini-
ment is very agreeable to use.
Oilcloth should never be scrubbed, bat
washed with a soft woolen cloth and lake
warm water in which a little milk has been
dissolved. Soap and hot water destroy tile
pattern and color.
Woolen waists may be washed in cold
water without ripping, and chudahs may
become rivals to those done by the French
dry cleanser. Old woolens which have suf-
fere d much from different t,aths of varied
tem pen titre may be always partially, often
who lly, restored in this way, though such
need a little mole patience and sometimes
tha_e
one washing.
