STREET.
A STORY IN Tesa3 CyAPTEIIS.
Na once! And all tliose five years
her house had been the- one home -spot
in my toilsome life! Yet, after all; it
was only natural. What was there on
my side of the way! Ah ugly middle-
aged man and a dingy house. It was
she who made her side what it was to
me. e Por -Merest, I was content enough
at learning from her own lips that she
was as happy as she looked, and would
not change her lot for that which had

the opportunity.
" Poortiad ! But -I daresay te, too,
has coasoled himself," I said to nayselt
as I went away.
CHAPTER II.
It was early spring. There was a soft
balmy feelipg in the air. The bare
branehes of the almond trees were dot- , self. " One week more, and then, af7
thOughilie rallied from them, it was
only to pain too keen for his exhausteq.
frame to bear. BefOre midday on the
morrow he was dead, and illa,gdalen
Imelt weeping by the. bed, *here a few
minutes back he had tried to clasp our
two hands in his dying fing,ers,"and had
whispered in hoarse, gasping tones.:
"Take care of her, Elliott. I trust,
her to you. Magdalen, reme.mber-I--
leave-you-to his care."
Ah me ! audit was more than "care"
that I longed to give her then, my poor
darling, in the first hour of her desola-
tion, but no one save an utterly self -en,
grossed cowased would have spoken to
her of love and marriage at sitch a, time;
and it was enough that she did not. re-
pel the affectionate authority which for
her own good I felt bound to use to her;
and submitted to be ruled and tended
by me, with a meek, child -like passivity
which made her more than ever dear
and precious to me.
"1 will wait a week," I said to toy -

pink and creamy bells. . There were
bir• ds twittering in the square, and a
stir of new life and freshness all through
the world; but ;dr. Roberts was not so
well. He had been canfined to the house
for several clays ; and I went over to sit
with him one afternoon, so that Mag-
.' dalea might get out for a little fresh
air.
"You won't leave him till I come'
back," she said, lingering even after her
bonnet -was on. " Pronalse nae, Doctor.
,He is so disobedient to orders, that he is
not to be trusted by himself; but if

do not think she will send me away,"
end I did., not.
=There was something in the look of
her eyes when she thanked me, in the
clinging touch of her fingers evlien they
rested in mine, which, through all sense
of my un worthiness made me hope at
last.
Mr. Roberts had few relations, and
nea t t I

of his papers, hum all that were not of
importance, and arrange the funeral and
-legal matters: It would spate Ma.gdalen
