was to come next.
"Not a word, for your life, mind, to
Dinah Ann.
"No fear," replied a voice, which she
recognized as tat of her brother, Harry
Leete. •'I .know what tegmen are..
She'd be for—for revolutionizing the
house, and herself too, once let her get
an inkling of this. No fear, James.
Take care, on your side, that youdon't
lose that—or let Dinah Ann find it."
"I'll take care. - When are you cone -

shall want your advice as to--"
"One of these evenings," interrupted
the lawyer, as he drove on }gip the lane.
"Good night:"
James Harbury, subst. tial farmer
and agriculturist, came t{ rough the
gate and turned to fasten 't. Had he
turned the other way, to he left in-
stead of to jthe right, he would have
seen his wife standing against the hedge
as close as she could stand, almost - into
it. He dic- not see her,' and went
straight up the path to 'tine house.
When his footsteps had died away,Mrs.
Harbury wound her light summer
gown over her black silk apron, caught
hold of her lilac cap strings, lest the
cap should fly off, and ran swiftly up
the narrow sidewalk, got round_'to the
back, went through the house, let drop
her gown andehtered the sitting
room, all calmly, as soon a - her bus
band..
"Got back?" she excl med, with
quite .a look of surprise.
"Just come," repliedthe farmer
"Harry drove me in his gig."
"What brings Harry up here in hi
gig at this time ? and why did you no
come back with Hall?" inquired Mrs
Harbury, who liked to be at► the begin
ning and the end of everything.
"Harry had to come," said the far-
mer, who seemed to be walking • about
rather lestlessly—and vaho never
thought of such .a thing as refusing to
satisfy his wife's questions. "He got a
message from the .Down Farm to go
over there without loss df time. I
thought I might as well come with
him, Dinah Ann. As to Hall, I left
him stuck in the taproom of the Tawny
Lion; he didn't order his gig to be
ready before ten o'clock."

them I should revolutionize, not my-

"It may be that old love affair cropped
up again—that woman who threatened
to bring an action for breach of promise
whenJames married me. Perhaps she
has been writing letters to him. 'Mind
you don't let Dinah Ann find it,' says
Harry. Or perhaps -perhaps James
has been foolish enough to let her meet
him.- Harry,; not a married man him-
self, and a lawyer, would lend himself •
to any earthly thing without scruple.
All lawyers do.
This rural district, remote from the
haunts of wily men of the world, was
givon over entirely to farmers and farm-
ingiuterests, simple minded and simple
mannered people, w?io lived out their
uneventful lives in the routine of daily
duties. The small market town of 4
Northam, four miles distant, was
sleepy and primitive, never awakening
frons its slumbers save on the weekly
market day.. It had its parson, its
doctor, and its. lawyer—Harry Leete— I
all three of them being nearly as slur-
pie as the farmers. Not simple in
point of intellect, it must be under-
stood, but as to life and manners.
This' (Thursday) was market day.

gig of a brother farmer, Peter Hall, his

And laughing good naturedly, Jaiues
I.rbury turned from the supper tray to
reach hi°s pipe. Dinah Ann rang the
bell, resumed her knitting, and fell into
an unpleasant reverie.
A few idays passed away, thiiiigs= going
on smoothly at the farm. Dinah Ann
had recovered her temper—at least, she
displayed no signs of its beings ruffled.
James H!arbury was as usual, save at
times he seemed a little absent and
thoughtful. One afternoon he went up
stairs to change his everyday coat for a
better one.
"Wheiie are you going ?" cried Mrs.
Harbury} quickly, as he cane down
again.
"Only into Northam. I stall be
