he grew to think that there was less
of reproach in it: than anything else:
\weenie's eyes might have sorrow in

iAnd her heart—well, surely her heart
could not have been set bitterly ag-
ainst him, or she wmid not have sent
hint this unite little token of remem-
brance, as if to recall the olden days.
'yes, I will." said 'he—mainly to
get rid of her: for. indeed, he could
scarcely hear what she was saying to
hint for thinking of this strange and
mysterious message that had- conte
to him from Meenie.
And then, when she had gone, he
rapidly washed and dressed, and went
away out from the house—,net by the
Cowcaddens, and Shamrock Street,
and West Prince's Street, and over
the ,Kelvin, and up to if illhead, to
certain solitary thoroughfares he had
discovered in his •detious wanderings;
and all the time he was busy with
various interpretations of this mes-
sage front Meenie and of her reasons
for sending it, At itirt, as has been
said, there was nothing for him -but
shame and self-abasement; this was a
reproach; she had heard of the condi-
tion into which he had fallen; this was
to remind hint of what had been, ,And
indeed, it was now for the first time
that he began to he conscious of
what that condition was. +H -Ie had fled
to those 'boon -companions as a kind
of refuge from the hopelessness of the
weary hours, from the, despair with
regard to the future that had settled
down over his life. He had laughed,
drank, :smoked, and sang the time
away, glad to forget. When haunting
memories carte to rebuke, then there
was a call for another glass, s, another
song. Nay, he could even snake apo!o-
gies to ifimself when the immediate
excitement was ,h•er, \Vhy :atouid he
do otherwise? The dreams conjured
up by the Americans had no more
charms for hint, Why should he work
towards some future that had no in-
terest for hint?

the, horror:: of the aching head, the
trot pulse. the trenthling 'rands.
But if Meenie had heard of all this,
how would it appear to iter? and he
made no don'bt that :he had heard. 11
was some powerfni motive that had
prompted her to du this thing. He
knew that her sirs ter had hccn staking
inquiries whom him; Ids brother's con-
gregation gas a hot-hed of gossip: if
any news of hint had been sent by
that agency, no doubt it 'yas the
worst. And still \leenie did not tarn

took oat the envelope again. What
could she mean? Might he dare to
think it was thi,--tlittt, no matter
what had happened, or what .she had

in him, that the recollection of their
old friends .was not alt gone away?
