once quite alone. The young people have
gone to the theatre, Line was a llttle over-
tired, and preferred to remain with her
mother. The trio had not been talking
many minutee before a servant called away
the taietreeo, and they were alone.
She was knitting a stocking and a little
ball of ootton lay. in her lap. • He etooped
forward from his chair Inside her, end pos.
oesoing hiinself ofthe little ball, began olowly
unwinding and re.winding the cotton. He
had not imagined -the words would be so hard
to speak, but now, with thooe clear eyee and
that unconcerned exprerion before him, he
found ifdifficalt to begin, "Line, I came
here to•night tcs ask you tobe my wife."
Better not to beat about the bath; now it was
done and be eat rip streight and looked at her.
" Will you marry me ? "
A feinfblush spread over the pale cheek
and a Might start aceompanied it that sent
the little .ball Upon its travele. After 'stoop-
ing for a moment to recover, it, she tamed
upon him a face white as if the moon shone
upon it. "No r I catinotmarry yon." Then
rising, she continued very quietly, but with a
tremulous voice "1 am very . eorry, but I
cannot marry you," and would have left the
rooni.

"I have nothing more to say. I cao only

" Why not ? -do you not care for me ?"
Then came the. answer that froze the very
blood in hit nine, it was spoken so (Willy
and madly. "No, Edwin, not now. But,"
she added with a deep sigb, "11 I must spear, '
I bad better tell you the truth."
• Here she looked at him with a faint smile
and clasped her hands tightly together. "11

wife before you became rioh, we might have
been happy. God knowe, I loved you then.
But the years.that have followed have altered

• She held out to him her little, cold, white
hand; he meohanically took it, dropped it,
and ehe was gone.
Whenmamma returned from her visit to
the kitchen, she found poor 'Edwin "alt
abroad." At first, being ohort.eighted, 'she
noticed nothing, but after some vague con-
vereation he rose, and, complaining of not
• feeling quite" up to the mark,"took his leave.
Mamma afterwards described hit appearanoe
as being that of one walking in bit sleep.
She had refused him 1 His firot feeliug was
one of surpriee ; intense, blank surprise. He
had so often pietured this meeting, but to
differently, that, now it was over, the Robing
[surprise seemeti more than he 'could, bear.
Next came sorrow, then anger; then he
thought of all kbe-said, which -came evidently -
from her heart of hearts. He felt how selfish
his bondwit had been; why bed he net been
by heir side all those years and shielded' her
•from this hard life? She had called heroolt
no longer young, and he had notioeklines
that brow whioh had used to be so emooth
and fair. In his despair' he groaned aloud.
•His kens for her vvas greaterthan ever; he
could not bear thief punishment. No!•he
would Write to her and, beg forgiveness; he
used to be s� loving years] ago; be would
.write a letter that no woman could withstand.
And with this grain ef comfort in his imea'n'
of trouble, he went home thoroughly tired'
out by the•long walk he had taken,' •
The beat Part of -the next day he spent in
composing the letter that was to do so Much,
and before it was finally folded and placed in
ite envelops the floor of his chamber looked
ash a snowstorm hadpassed over 'it, The.

-However,there was ifaint ray of hope,

- In a rebent work on "Sleep," Dr. Morti-
mer Granville objects, without reserve, to the
use of narcotics in order to produce it: They
produce not sleep, but a counterpart of it.
When a man mye--I will take a eldeping
draught in order to get es quiet night, he
speaks in parables.. What he really says is,
I will poison 'myeelf a little, just enough to
make me unconbeious, ex slightly paralyze
niy nerve °entree, not enough to kill. He
deolares that if people troubled with sleep -
leeriness Would resolutely set themselvee to
forming the habit of going to eleerrat a pertion;
lartime, in a particular way, they will do more
to procure regular sleet than by any other
artifioe. • Itit not so -much matter what a
person does to produce sleep, but he should
do precisely the same thing,, in the same way,
at the same time,' and under, nearly as poll-
oible, the same conditions, night after night, •
for a coneiderable period, say three or four
weeks at least. •

the deputy sheriff stopped at the More of a
