As the words passed her lips, she saw his face change,—the first break which there had been in its fearful rigidity. She knew she had touched the truth at last.

"Ought I not to have minded it?" he asked in a stern tone. Susan was reflecting. How distinctly before her eyes at that moment, stood out the fatal sentence, "Be careful what you write." . "Tom," she said, "I will write this very night to Bell, and ask her to send back the letter, that you may read every word of it." "I have no wisli to read it," he said, coldly. Susan was in despair. "Torn, what else can I do ?" she said. "Ob, let me send. for it? I never dreamed that you would mind not see- ing it. Why, you don't see half my let- ters to Belt." He made no reply. Susan sat silent foe a moment. She seemed no nearer her husband than before. The same in- ' tangible icy barrier which had filled her with such anguish - all day, was there still. Suddenly, with one of those lightning impulses, by which men in desperate need have often been saved as by a miracle, Susan exclaimed: "Tom, I can tell you all there was in the letter. I mean all there *was which I did not want you to see." She paused. Her husband fixed his eyes on her with as piercing a gaze as if she had been a witness in a case of life and death. "This was it," continued Susan. " It was abut Professor Balloure. You know, what you said to me tbe other morning, that at any rate he couldn't have me.' Tom nodded.

Oh, Tom, Tom! how could you ever help knowing that with all the love of my whole nature I have loved you! Well, you see, Bell had always talked to me about the professor's caring for me. She always thought he wished he could marry me, and in this letter telling about his wife's death she said several things that I didn't like; I didn't read them to you ; and in my letter to her I told her how much safer and happier I was with you than I ever could have been with any other man in the world, and• Out at Sea. BY J 8. FLETCHER IN CHAMBERS' IOURNIL. I know that I am dying, rnate ; so fetch the Bible here, What's laid unopened in the chest for five -and - twenty year; And bring a light along of you, and read a bit to me, Who haven't heard a word of it since first I came to sea. It's five -and -twenty year, lad, since she went to •her rest Who put that there old Bible at the bottom 9f my chest; And I can well remember -the Words she says to me: r "Now, don't forget to read it, Torn, when you get out to sea." And I never thought about it, mate, for it clean slipped from my head; But when I come from that first voyage, the dear old girl was dead. And the neighbors told me, while I stood as still as still can be, That she prayed for me and blessed me as was just gone out to sea. And then I shipped again, mate, and forgot the Bible there, For I never give a thought to it a -sailing every- where; But new that I am dying, you can read a bit to me, As seems to think about it, now I'm ill and down at sea. 13' Susan hesitated. How hard it was to quote that unfortunate sentence just as it stood! "and—there really was only one sentence in the letter I was unwil- ling you should see. I thought you „ wouldn't understand. I told Bell to be careful what she wrote to me about it, because I hadn't any secrets from you, and you might look over my shoulder and read the letter." While Susan was speaking these last words Tom's eyes seemed to grow darker arid darker with the fixity of their gaze. As she finished he put his arms around her, held her tight and kissed her. She felt that the ice was broken. Weeping, she kissed his cheek and nestled closer. And find a little prayer lad, and say it up right loud, So that the Lord can hear it if it finds Him in a crowd.

"1 came in and saw it lying there open, saw it was to Bell, and glanced down the pages till I came to that sentence which you have just re- peated, and which, you will admit, I had cause to resent." She was hardly listening to what he said. Her face was full of awe, almost of terror. Oh, Tom, Tom !" she cried, "wasn't it like an inspiration, the impulse which made me tell you that sentence? Sup- posing I had not told you you would never have believed in me again— aerar !" "No," said Torn. "Don't you see, dear love," continued Susan, "just how I said that? simply to save you pain ?—not in the least because there were any secrets in the past I was afraid of Bell's letting out, but because by your speech to me about the profes- sor, I knew that you had had some feel- ing about him, and I thought if Bell said any more of her light, jesting, thoughtless things in regard to him they would only strengthen your feeling and give yon annoyance.

He ope the gate and held it back for the le to pass. "Thank you, my boy," said the fa er, one of the wealthy Middlesex g iers who own large tracts of the Ilar and Pinner rich meadow lands. "W may your name be ?" "My name's Green," returned the boy, with an ill-timed burst of the gi- nation. "And what is your father ?"
