AN OLD FLAME.
BY CHARLES GORDON ROGERS, IN THE CAN-
ADIAN MAGAZINE.
When Harry Proteus' wife went down
into the country with little Ethel and the
baby, for the purpoee of recruiting her fag-
ged energies, and putting fresher roses into
the cheeks of little Ethel -there was noth-
ing the matter with the boy's health, bless
him -Harry was left in a peculiar position.
He found his occupation gone -that is, the
occupation of his leisure hours and evenings.
The piano seemed to cast reproachful glances
at his unskilled hands, as if mourning the
absenoe of the touch of Min. P's white fin-
gers. The ivories appeared to have become
imbued with the nature of the ebonies, for
the whole key board, to Proteus' eyes, seem-
ed to have gone into black. There was no
jolly Ethel to romp with ; and no baby -
the baby had got past its howling period -
to demonstrate to an indulgent parent a
growing intelligence, the like df which was
not recorded in the annals of infantile phe-
nomena. Altogether there was an utter air
of loneliness about the house which the
complete bachelor freedom he now enjoyed,
coupled with the aroma of unlimited cigars,
could not dissipate.
At odd periode of his domestic life, after
a tiff, or when something had gone wrong,
or when his wife had been irritable, Proteus
had sighed momentarily for hie bachelor
life ; and had wondered what it would be
like to taste the old freedom °nee more.
Now that he practically had it, he felt out
of his element, He was not addicted , to
any of the vices, except ernoking, which in
men of his kind should be regarded as a vir-
tue, and encouraged accordingly. He had'
fallen into that common error made by
young married men, a disinclination for the
athletics of hie earlier days; and an for read-
ing, one cannot be content, unless he is A
grub, to devote himself to books in the hot
weather. A little desultory turning over
of the pages of something light is as much
ne the average man cares for. What was
he, then,,to do?
When a man unexpectedly meets an old
flame, whom he has not seen for years, a
host of xnemoriee will crowd upon him; and
these are fashioned according to the circum-
stances under which the flame was kindled,
kept alive and died -if it did die, When
our friend, Harry, met Mrs. Macintyre, the
Bella Eversly of former days, he experienc-
ed a sensation which was a blend of pleasure
bitterness and wonder. He had loved her
five years before; but something had come
between, and inside of a year.he had recove
ered-and married. Thinking of his wife,
and his tenderness for her, he asked him-
self, as he looked at his former sweetheart,
if anything of the old weakness lingered in
him? Bella did not seem very much
changed; ceetainly not at all for the worse.
A little etouter, perhaps, but the symnietry
of her graceful figure had not suffered, and
the damask of her cheek had been tempered
favorably by time. Was the old love quite
dead, after all? Or was it growing to life
gain, juet because the springlike influences
f opportunity smiled?
Opportunity to renew old tendernesses,
pita of marital oaths and devotion, present -

orin. Mrs. Proteus was one hundred miles
way, which was as effective as a thousand.
he vast majority of the gossipa of Proteue'
wn set were at the seaside or in the coun-
ry-it is the same thing -where its mem-
era were concocting fresh scandals for the
lull autumn days when they should be at

hat is, her husband was elsewhere -on
usiness.
"Come and see Me %hilly hotel, Harry,"
id Mrs. Macintyre.

have a peep at the old place."
"1 meant the ol place, not the letters,"
said Harry, somew et irascibly.

"Not quite thet,arry. But I can tell

"I thought yjou lhad done with them,"
said Harry, a lit le cynboally.
"Are you-wi h ours ?"
" That is anot er inatter. I suppose we

Mrs. Macint ae was getting little senti-

"It will bel a dangerous -thing to leave

about as dull -it's normal condition -as

ray correctly. But it is pretty putside."
"-Very well, Harry, And yo 4 will come

good -night. "I shall be delighted, and
shall lie abed till noon to dream of it."
This was very well for a beginning. To
Bella, the events of th ii days that followed
were like a suocession a delightful dreams.
As for Proteue, he lived in an atmosphere
of delightful dreame, too; but it °cuffed
t� him frequentlythatthis thing oould not
last. He even played this second part la)
merrily, that he wrote his wife, telling her
not to hurry home if the country air was do-
ing her good; and when he had pested the
letter he wondered if the dountry air was
really doing her good, , '
These drives, however, down dusky lanes
on still evenings, with the stars, or perhaps
the moon, for an audience -and sometimes
even she grew shy -were dangerous, One
night Harry had askedBella to kiss him.
His arm -it would have been a customary
When five years before -had slipped round
her waist; and the horse, a well-trained
animal with wonderful instinot, had slipped
into a walk. Bella hesitated, thinking,
perhaps, of his wife. But abe loved him,
and one woman is liable to forget the rights
of another when the same man is the object
of their affections, and when the man will
not remember. So the kiss was given.
Protein went home deliriously happy.
Fresh lips are wonderful stirrers of the
pulse; but when they are lips you kissed
once upon a time, and when the kiss is ace
oompanied by a look from a pair of eyes
that smiled indulgently on all you did or
said, then there is a deeper charm and
sweetness.
Proteus went to bed, but be could not
sleep. Neither a rosy mouth, nor the mem-
ory of it, is a good narcotic, The moral
aide of the thing would present itself with
dieagreeable force and persistency. It al-
ways does-inthe dark., He was a man
who said his prayers every night, partly be-
cause the youthful habit had clung to him,
and partly because he felt timid about
breaking off from it. It was the same pray-
er, perhaps, with very few grown-up alter-
ations, that he had been saying ever since
he learned the art of repetition -"God bless
So -and -So," omitted from time to time, as
God saw fit to bless So -and -So, or his rela-
tions, according to the idea that death is a
blessing. But this night Proteue did not
kneel down. He was not, in the strict
sense of the word, a hypocrite; he could
not, at least, dissemble himself against him -
He got up, lit the gas, and sat on the edge
of the bed; regarding his reflection in the
mirror with a gravity and touch of irritation
that was comical.
"What -is the use of a man praying for
tIo welfare of his soul, when he knows in
that soul he is playing a double part, and
will play it again to -morrow ?" he muttered
aloud. "But, after all, -there has been no
reat wrong done. I have kissed her, and
old her I love her as much as ever; which
s not true perhaps. Bella is a weak wo-
man, and I /suppose I should be atronger.
I don't suppose Carrie would like it.
And Carrie mustn't know. ellen& loves me
-that is where the tronble /lies. And yet,
hy should I put the blame on Bella. I am
miserable coward ; that is the plain truth
f it. Why can't I make up my mind now -
o write Carrie, asking her to come home,
elling her I em lonely? It would be an
onorable lie, at any rate'out of dishonor.
fter all, I can't love Carrie as much as I
bought I did. And yet, if death were to
oine in at that door now, and ay:sI must
ake one; which shall it be? I would say
Bella. Do I really love Bella still? Or
it only because the thing is new, and has
flavor of wrong in it, and because it le
weet ? Heaven knows it is sweet! And
et the thought of Bella's going away makes
e feel wretched. At all events I can pray
r Carrie and Ethel, and the boy, thank
• ; and feel myself the miserable, weak
ol that I am."
Matters unfortunately progressed, as
arry cynically termed it toi himself. Peo•
le, it is scarcely worth mentioning, had
ng since remarked the affair. Some scowl-
, and, doubtless, Mrs. Bargo, or one of
er confreres, would have written Mrs. Pro,
us an anonymous letter, because you can
y so much more untruth i,n , an anonymous
tter than you can over your own signa-
re, but that, as I have said, the gosaips
ere out of the town for the main part;
d those who were not did not know Mrs.
's address, which in this instance was to
regretted. Not a few -of the men -said
hat a lucky dog Proteue was; but they nev-

The affair had become one of daily ' insep-
ableness now. One evening during the
nrepeeted drive, the talk turned on that
evitable climax, Bella's going away. It

• He woke the lad up. He was from the
telegraph office, the boy said, and he had
been waiting a long time for Mr. Protein.
" Why didn't you stick the mesiage in
the door ?" said Proteus, as he unfastened
the latter, and lit the gas in the hall.
The message was paid for, the bo' said,
but he wanted Mr. Proteus to sign :for it.
" They was very particular at the office," he
maid, confidentially, "about signing.'I Pro-
teus signed, and the boy still lingered. So
Proteus, being in high good humor, gave the
boy a coin, and the coin and the boy quick•
ly disappeared.
Protein opened the yellow paper, inildly
wondering What it could be about. It was
from his wife, and ran:
"Expect us to -night. You might have
oome. Ethel not well."
Proteus crumpled the paper slowly in his
hand, and stared at the pattern of the wall-
paper, with hie lids half closed. Then he
turned into the silent drawing -room, drew
the curtains apart, and stared out into the
street through the half -open slats of1 the
blinds.
Confusion! His plans spoiled, and by
that little minx ! But soft I not spoiled.

Yes, Solomon. is right; that's what
the good housekeeper everywhere
does, but particularly in Can-
ada.
. But her ways are not _always
old ways.In fact she has dis-
carded many unsatisfactory old
ways. For instance, to -day she
is using
the New ,Shortening, instead of
lard. And this is in itself a rea-
son why i` she looketh well" in

lard to cause poor digestion and

He smoothed out the message with a half -
triumphant, half -pitying expression, and
read it again very slowly, dwelling on each
word. He found himself suddenly trying
to picture Carrie arriving at the depot, and
her surprise at not finding him there ; and
her still further bewilderment at reaching
the house and discovering it in darkness and
no Harry, For the servants were taking
their much-needed vacation also. And then

- It was not a pleasant thing to picture.
Proteus started, and confronted a rather
pale face in the ball mirror,- the reflection of

He grew fascinated with this not flattering.
likeness, and fell into a sort of reverie.
He returned to consciousness by hearing
someone at the door. It was the telegraph
boy.
"Another message ?" demanded Harry.
"No, sir, but Ithought you might have
an answer," said the boy, yawning.
" Have you been waiting outside all this
time ?" said Proteue, aghast.
The boy nodded. "It ain't very long,"
he maid, with a comforting smile. "Only
three minutes."
Proteus shook himself together. He felt
confused, and hot altogether master of his
there is no answer," -he said, slow-
tag," he added. "Would you take
a letter for me to the Allan House, at once,
if I gave you a guider? Well, sit down
there and wait. '
"What shall I' say to her ?"he said to
himself, as he paused before hie secretary,
biting a pen -handle:
"Ah, I will send, her the telegram, with
a line, and she will ,understand. It is for
the best,"
"Take this to the Allan House," he said,
handing the envelope to the boy. "It is for
Mrs. Macintyre. See that she gets it, your-
self, at once. Oh, here'e your quarter. And
look here! Send a cab to me here right
away, and tell the driver to hurry."
The boy disappeared, and Proteue hurri-
edly got his top coat and umbrella together.
A flourish of wheels'on the pavement up to
his gate told him his cab bad arrived.'
"Look here," he said to the cabby, as he
turned out the gas and looked the hall door,
"that looal train from the west gets in
about eleven, doesnit it, and a train leaven
here in about a 9.uerter of an hour, that
meets it somewhere ?"
The cabby asseeted. "All right," said
Proteue, plunging into the cab, "Drive me
to " the station, quick !
i.
C' As the cabman mounted to his seat, a boy
ame down the street, whistling, and stop -
.ed at Proteus' gate, Harry stuck hie
ead out of the cabland aeked what was the
Fratter,
"Here I am," dried Proteus. " Drive
n ! " he called out, as he took the envelope
om the boy; and iaway the cab flew.
He thrust the missive into his side pocket
urriedly, thiliking', if he thought at all,
that it was an epistle on some matter of bus•
ness or the day's trensaotion. He did not
ant to think at all. He had one desire;
o get on that train, feel the train in motion,
and then know tha5 he was safe. -
It was a long driye to the depot, although
he horse worked hard.
Harry smoked vieiously, and shouted to
hecabman, and done a hundred things to
forget what he was doing. He arrived at
histrain not a inement too soon, and got
board, paying the cabby double fare, and
dropping his umbrella twice, as the oars
ved out. . '
He sat down ' viciously, and almost
athleaely, and stared out of the window.

The hotel -was gone, and Proteus sighed)
and stretched his lege upon the seat, oppo-
site, plunging his hands deep into his coat
pockets. His fingers came in contact with
the letter he had fbrgotten, and he drew
the envelope out half -curiously, and opened
it. The letter had peen rapidly scrawled,
and some of the words were blurred, as if
the writer had beenI crying.
"Dear Harry,":1-said the letter-" do
not think of our going to -night! Oh, I have
thought of it all, and cried since you kissed
me, and I will not let you do this wrong.
We must be brave, Harry, and you must
think of Carrie, and little Ethel and the

I love you, Harry. ' You must -not think I
