John Grant's Ward.
Horse Blankets which are strong
and have a reputation are always
imitated in poor qualities wliich
look like them, but having fewe-
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
imitations for a few cents less and
fcrjr saying they are "just as goody*
sul them at the same price as tiie
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are^strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
ate you to know?
In order that you can tell a strong
blanket from a weak one,the manufacturer of 5/i. Horse Blankets
sews the above 5 __ Trade Mark
inside of each blanket. This is a
guarantee that it is the strongest
blanket made for the money and
will wear well.
Many poor imitations have been
sold as 5/A blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the
& Trade Mark is sewed inside.
John Grant was in love with his ward.
He regarded bis condition as a hopeless
one. He had been led to think su because
of the difference in their tastes, temperaments and pursuits.
He was selfish, reserved, reticent, wrapped up in hia book*. She was confiding,
commuDicative, vivacious, fond of oat-
door life, rebellions under restraint and
restless under mental discipline. He was
tall, spare, care-worn, misanthropic, hie
face homely ia its sedateness, bis step
■low, his gestures tardy, his utterances
heavy. She waa lithe, agile, graceful,
bright-faced, charming in her oat-bursts
of girlishness, serene in ber consciousness
of womanhood, her voice s*n eet, low, emotional.
He had been selected as her guardian
when sbe was five years old, and for the
remaining fifteen years save when at
boarding school, she bad been almost constantly under bis eyes. He had directed
ber associations, molded her opinions, corrected ber faults, anticipated hn needs.
He had noted ber development from a xhy,
awkward,' impulsive child into a lovely,
self-possessed graceful woman.
Ea was not over susceptible—in fact, be
was not sufficiently so; yet, thrown so
much into tbe society of his ward, and enjoying bo much of ter esteem and confidence, it was not strange tbat he bad imbibed an affection for her which grew iato
a passion—a passion which was consuming him because he so seduonsly concealed
it.
He had never been made so aware of the
extent of hia love for her and the consciousness that she could never be his, as
the bright spring mornin.*; wben be stood
watching her from the library window.
She was strolling u ,■ and dam tbe wide
walks, ia the cheerful sunlight and under
the blossoming trees, listening to Vincent
Delisle's pretty speeches, or answering
them with saucy, incredulous retoits.
Her rich dress glanced in the sunshine,
and settled itself into fiesh folds with
every movement of her lithe, graceful
figure.
The yonng couple seemed made for each
other. He was rich, intelligent, attractive in face, handsome in figure, genial in
manner, faultless in attiie, kind in heart,
appreciative in spirit
Jobn Grant turned away from the window with a sigh, the troubled look upon
his face slowly giving place to a look of
resignation. He was soon absorbed in
his writing and researches, for he was
preparing tbe second volume of a text
book, the first volume of which had been
received witb great favor.
Ia a little wbile he detected a sweet,
snbtile odor; next ho'heard the noise of a
dress; then he knew that bis pretty ward
was beside his deek.
*"€__, for goodness sake stop pouring
over these books 1" she cried, more earnestly than flippantly. "They are sapping
tha life oat of yoa. I am beginning to
hate them simply because you love them."
Sbe leaned over bis shoulder, her carls
touching hia cheek, the contact of her
dresB making his pulses beat faster.
"Astrology became tbe stepping stone
to astronomy," sbe said, reading aloud
from bis manuscript. ''Alchemy led to
chemistry. Thus the dreams ef one century became the science of the next. All
that sounds very—very stilted, aud It is a
question whether it is true. Pray, eome
down from tbe stars, and out of yonr
laboratory and yoar aimless dreams."
He made no reply to ber rapid comment. He was accustomed to sucb intrusions and criticisms, and rather liked them.
"Has Mr. Delis'.e gone?" he asked,
looking np, no traces of hia previous
struggle perceptible in his lace ox tone.
"Ses," sbe said.
"Why ao soon?" her guardian asked.
"ffcU, I sort of dismissed him_i**hareplied, with a little laugh. "Be tired me.
He is altogether too—too—worshipful."
"Ah !" ejaculated Joha Graut, tryiug
to catch her meaning. "I did'nt think a
lover could be too worshipful, though I
can understand how he might be too impetuous. You are in a queer mood this
morning, Valeria."
"It is breaking away, then," she said,
laughing soltly agaia. "__lr. Delisle, too,
charged me with tbe moodiness. I am
certain I did aot yawn. Bat I am not
moody wben I am with you, gardy. At
least, I don't want to be. Can't you leave
this work for a little while? There is
«.till time for you to become famous. Get
oat the ponies and drive me over to the
deserted fort. I want to gather some
mosses, and the change will do you good."
"I saw Mr. Delisle's team among the
the trees," remarked Joha Grant.
"Yes," assented sbe.
"Didn't ho ask you to take a drive?"
'*Oh, yes.    He is very thoughtful 1"
"And you declined ?"
"Yes, gardy."
"Batr-why ?"
■'Out of pure coutrariness, maybe. Perhaps, because I preferred to go witb yoa.
Please dou't question me so persistently."
The color came and went ia her face,
and a girlish pout hung to her red lips for
a moment.
"All right,'*' John Grant said, as he pat
aside his books.    •_ L appreciate tbe pre-
- feretfcer^"   ^~ '—	
Tbe reply would have delighted her had
his tone been less even and his air been
less serene.
The drive was a pleasant one, and the
ramble about tbe old fort aod its environs
more pleasant still.
She charmed him with her smiles, her
gargling laughter, her sallies of wit, her
oonlessions of ignorance, her thorough
abandonment to the enjoyment of the hoor.
He said to himself, as he sat alone in his
room that evening:
"I live in two atmospheres. One is
evolved from my books, musty, abstruse,
circumscribing yet satisfactory and restful. Tbe other comes from the companionship-of my ward, is bright, healthful,
sympathetic, yet leaves me dissatisfied,
miseiable, Wretched. Ah—it is because
the books are mine, while she is not."
A year went by. Valeria grew more
lovely, Mr. Delisle grew more persistent,
and John Grant grew more morose.
"Valeria yoa are of age to day," the latter said.
He had asked for a business interview
and she was seated opposite.his desk. She
abhorred business details, but sbe knew
that the occasion demanded her attention.
The afternoon was dying away. The
red sunset shown against the windows.
Some of the rays fell upon Valeria, lightening the sheeu of her dress, revealing the
transparency of her complexion and adding a shade of burnt gold to her beautiful
hair.
"My stewardship is closed," Jobn
Grant continued, a faint regretfulness in
his tone. "Tbe court has approved my
accounts. Yoa are in sole possession of
this vast estate.    Wildermar is yours."
She watched him covertly, her hands
folded ia her lap, ber face strangely sober.
*'I bied my best to discharge my duty
faithfully," he added.
"Yes," answered she with a little gasp.
'•You found me selfish and wilful."
"No, Valeria," promptly protested he.
"Rarely willful, and never selfish.*1
A painfnl silence ensued. Her eyes
were bjiut to the floor in intense, half
painful thought, ilness. Sbe was reviewing the past—sho was thinking of the
future.
"You will leave Wildemar?" she asked
faintly.
"Why, yes," be said, passing his hand
over hia mouth to bide its twitching muscles. "My work here is done. I must
seek new fields, a new bome. I am not
apprehensive.''
"It seems not," she said, a little distractedly. ''Neither abont yourself nor
aboat me. But I am not competent to
manage the estate, nor have I the inclination. Tbe responsibility is too great.
Care is irksome to me. Mr. Grant, why
can yoa not stay ? Wby can you uot continue to manage? Whatever compensation—"
"•Ho, Valeria," he interrupted, almost
with sternness.
"(Mi, since it isn't agreeable to yoa I
will net insist," ahe said in a strident
tone, a look of vexation on her face.
"Valeria, tbat wasn't kind in you," ha
reproachfully said. "It bas been agreeable to me, and it still would be.   But, for
reasons best known to myself, I must decline to oblige yoa."
"Always remember/' she rejoined, her
tears very near, "that I have been grateful
for all yoa ever did for me."
"Why, to be sure, child," he said.
The word "child" brought ao angry
sparkle to her eyes. He saw it, bat failed
to divine the cause.
"1 merely did ray duty," John Grant
resumed. "The court fixed the compensation and I thought it sufficient. Mr.
Delisle will h. !;i yoa manage the farm,
for ao doubt yoa will shortly be married
to him. Yoa are pretty, intelligent,
wealthy——"
"Mr. Delisle has no designs upon my
w< alt.h," sbe interrupted.
"Wby, <rf course not," John Grant replied, the oolor monnting to his cheeks.
"I believe him to be the soul of honor. I
never knew you to misinterpret my words
Witb such persistency,"
"Have yoa anything more to say to me,
Mr. Grant ?" sbe asked, after a pause.
The voice did not sound like hers. He
was used to her abrupt ways, and yet he
found himself keenly scanning her.
He bad thought, at times, that she lacked womanly dignity, hot he did not tbink
so then. In spite of ber young face and
innocent girlish ways tbere was an unmistakable atmosphere of high breeding about
her, said a certain royalty of look and
attitude.
"I Oolieve that I bave nothing more to
say at present," he slowly replied. "Tomorrow I ean explain the accounts,
especially tbose which refer to uncompleted operations."
She rose to her feet, and their eyes met.
There was a yearning, wistful look in
hers that he had never seen before.
"He cares little for Wildemar, and less
for me," she thought as she left the
library, ber lips quivering, a throb of pain
at ber heart.
Ah, she didn't know ! It was hard to
John Grant to' leave Wildemar, with its
extensive grounds, its lordly mansion, and
its luxuriantly famished rooms, and it
was harder still to leave the sweet, bright
young girl whom he loved with a fervor
that bad something of idolatry ia it.
"I offended ber in some way," he
thought, his brows knit, the lines around
his month growing stern. "She does not
seem very exuberant, now, that she is in
possession of Wildermar. The sense of
proprietorship does not overwhelm her.
I never saw such a dissatisfied look on her
face. I don't understand her, and I'm
alraid Mr. Delisle doesn't. She tempted
me fearfully, bat I canLot stay ! No, I
cannot stay 1 I must go where I can forget I"
That night he was awakened by the
sound of wheels upon the drive. He
looked out of bis bedroom window. It
It was moonlight and be saw, much to his
astonishment, the family can iagc standing
under the trees.
The horses were pawing restlessly, tho
stableman was talkiug to them now and
then in an undertone, while another male
servant staggered into sight with a large
trunk whiob Jobn Grant recognized as his
ward'.
"Why, wbat does tbis mean ?" he asked
himself puzzled and alarmed, and hurriedly dressing himself.
As he stepped into the wide hall he saw
the dim outline of a shrinking figure, and
heard repressed breathing.
"Is that yoa, Valeria ?" he demanded,
in an authoritative tone.
"Yes," she answered in dismay, her
voice scarcely loader than a whisper.
John Grant struck a match and lit the
chandelier. There stood bis ward equip-
ed for travel, flurried in her manner, ber
face expressing vexation and chagrin.
"This isa strange proceeding," said
John Grant, fixedly regarding her. "Goodness, you were not going to run away with
Mr. Delisle ?"
'"No," she simply said, a swift palor
crossing her face.
"Kor can you possibly be rnnning from
him.
"Ho." the said with au appealing ges-
ture, one nana presseu _gamno *•__. ____..
'•I am running away from you, John
Grant. That is truth, however muoh it
humiliates me to say it."
She shrank closer tothe wall. Her lips
were tightly drawn. JHer hands were
clenched in a spasm. There was a movement in her throat like the struggle of imprisoned words. A gleam ot intense
yearning shone in ber eyes, and then the
lids fell modestly over them.
John Grant was dazed. He rubbed his
temples, as if to aid himself to think with
clearness. Tbe light tbat broke across his
face was like the play of the light upon a
dusky cloud. He took her hand and led
her to one of the easy chairs hi the hall.
"Valeria," he chokingly said as he stood
over her, his gaunt frame trembling, "do
your words admic of more tban one interpretation?"
For reply she buried her face in her
hands and burst' into tears.
"Dou't, dear," be gently, said. "It distresses me very much. Can it be possible
that I bave been so blind? Valeria, I bave
loved yoa for years—devotedly, passionately, wildly. I was afraid to tell yoa—
afraid even to have you suspect it. I sup
posed the knowledge would have made
you miserable, yoa are so sympathetic in
your nature. The difference in oor years,
yoar wealth, and all that, sealed my lips.
And now that I know that my love is returned, my joy robe my speech of its
fluenoy. I blurt oat just what comes first
__-say mind. And are you not fond of
Mr. folistaS***-.
"Ms Delisle?" -Ua repeated between her
sobs, "Fond of h__r__r____ Grant, I love you
a thousand times more than 1 do him!
Yoa never would have known it only you
—you—drove me into admitting it " '
He oould not tell whether she was ciy-
ing or laughing. He smoothed her hair,
and impressed a kiss of betrothal on her
cheek.
"Ill tell Amos to bring in yoar trunk,"
he said.
"Yes, please."
"And I'll stay to manage Wildermar."
"And me," added Valeria, her face suffusing with blushes, ber eyes radiant.
**Yes, my precious," he said, "or bo, if
yoa like that better."
"GREAT BROWN EYES."
BY A. WESTON W.
"Yes, because I was so fortunate as to
find the kind of a woman I had dreamed
of."
"Well, go on. Where did you find
ber?" • '
_ "On a railway traia; and 1 had been
riding hi the same car with ber for two
bours withoat noticing her. Fact, and
she was sitting jnst two seats ahead of me.
Suddenly the train came to a halt without
any apparent cause, and then tbere followed tbe usual confusion that follows such
an occurrence, the running back and
forth of road officials and the rising and
exit of curious passengers, all ready with
questions. I confess for once I was perfectly indifterent. I was going nowhere
in particular, was in no haste, only bent
on killing time; for awhile my curiosity
was not sufficient to take me from my seat
and the paper I was reading. I looked
about me though and then saw—well, yon
have seen her now, bnt you havo no idea
of the impression she made on me at first.
Yoa have seen her as a woman. I saw
her then as a young girl with great brown
eyes that caused me involuntarily to give
a second look at the face and figure tbat
owned them. She seemed even younger
tban Bhe was, and as I saw the questioning
gaze she turned towards me, I leaned forward and asked if I eould do anything for
her. She looked relieved and said she
would be glad if I could tell ber how long
abe would be detained. I could not, but
rose immediately, investigated matters,
and came back to tell har that au accident
had happened to the bridge ahead of us,
and we would be kept where we were for
aboat two hours, when another train
would come to meet us on the otber side
of the bridge, and then I ventured to ask
if she was going much further.
" 'I am going to Harlem to my grandparents,' she said simply, and I too_ the
empty seat just behind ber and said no
more, bat wondered where Harlem was,
and if He will not be dark wben sbe reached
it. Then I took op my paper to read, bat
somehow I lost interest in it, and began
to look about me. Yoa wiB laugh when
I tell you that my eyes constantly fell on
my neighbor. Bo, it wasn't love at first
sight, for if I had been separated from her
then, I should have forgotten her ih 24
hours. But there was something in those
great brown eyea I had never seen in any
eyes before, and having nothing else to do,
I tried to get another look at them. Before long I saw her wipe a tear from one
of them, and then I noticed whatlsuppose
a woman would have noticed loug before,
that she was dressed in black.
"I began to wonder how I could manage to make her look around, without appearing rude and officious, for although I
judged from her appearance that she had
never been ia what is called society, I also
saw tbat she was to the fullest extent refined and lady like. But my wishes were
gratified without any effort ou my part.
One of our fellow passengers was a lady
whose temper was not improved by tbe
delay, and who vented her .feelings on tbe
child she bad with her, whose questions
were enough to drive almost anyone dis
tracted. At last her patience was entirely
exhausted, and the said sharply:
'"Clarence, if yoa don't keeep still, you
WiB drive me crazy !'
"'I wish,'aaid tie child} 'that Uncle
Joe was here.    He'd tell me things.'
"Just bow she did it I doat know, but
in a very few moments my little neighbor
had the child in the seat with ber.
'"Would yoa Uke to sit by the window?" she asked.
" 'I woald,' aaid the child, 'if there was
anything to see, bat it's an awful pokey
place.'
"'I don't think so,' said my neighbor.
'Just look at those tiny clouds running a
race across tbe mountains. Tbere, I do
believe tbe very tiniest is going to get
ahead,'
"That was the way she drew his at-'
tention, aad I assure yon I had never
myself seen so many beauties in our ordi-
aary landscape, and then the time came
when the child tired of tbat, aod began
questioning his companion about herself;
-___   .-IV. u !_■__& X >iw liua  ■.l-niu.ji     m*..
had lived ia the country all her life,
and she loved it very dearly. Ber fatber
had been a lawyer in a big city once, bat
it made bim sick so tbat he had to go to
the country to live, and she bad never
been to sehool, bat had learned all she
knew from her fatber, a fact tbat seemed
to surprise tbe child more thau anything
she said. Then 1 learned more of tha
charms of country life than I had aval
thought of before, and then—hot I will
only tire yoa."
"No, go on," said his companion, behind a cloud of smoke.
"Well, the fact is, by the time our train
arrived, I was thoroughly interested in my
traveling companion, aod wished there
was some way in which I could get better
acquainted with her. Fortune favored
me, for as sho was crossing the stream,
she slipped from one of the rooks and fell.
Although she had put herself in a certain
sense under the care of the lady with the
loquacious child, I had kept near, and now
sprang forward. Fortunately she bad not
fallen from tiie rocks into tbe water, bat
tbe instant she tried to rise, I saw that
something was the matter. Yes, she had
sprained her ankle, and there waa nothing
for roe to do but to pick ber np in my arms
and carry her into tbe traia. There was
no house iu sight anywhere, and there was
not a drawing room car, so I was obliged
to make tbe best of wbat I had for her.
I doat think I was ever so glad of having
studied medicine, for I only had to say I
was a doctor to make it all right. Poor
child, she suffered agony, I know, but she
was as brave and patient as possible,
wbile I bathed the ankle, and did what I
could to make her comfortable.
" 'Do yoa expect some one to meet
yoa?' 1 asked at last.
■KleiQh, yes,' she said, smiling, 'Grandfather wul be there. I'm sorry be bad to
wait ao long. Then, looking up a moment
after, she asked, 'flow Wili I get out of the
train?'
"Woo1- you let me cany you, as I did
before?' I asked.    'You doa't mind, do
"Weil, old fellow, where, wheu and
bow in all the world did you come azross
such a creature? Do I admire her t Why,
she'8 divine. I am, beartand soul, hers to
command, if she is your wife. Come now
unless yoa tell me where to find another
Uke her, there is no knowing what may
happen. I won't answer for the consequences."
"Tben you are willing to give me tbe
congratulations yoa denied me before yoa
saw her ?" asked Tom Shelton, as he
seated bimself before tbe open fire iu tbe
Ubrary.
"Can't say that I am," was tbe reply,
as Walter Weston took his cigar from bis
mouth, and leaned with bis elbow on the
mantle. "It's uot human nature to congratulate a fellow on what you'd Uke
yourself. But seriously, Tom, where did
yoa find her ? I thought I bad seen all
the different types of girls, bat I. never
saw o_e like this. She enjoys life there's
no mistake, abont that, and she's the
most, natural and unaffected woman I ever
saw. I've beard lots of girls talk of
Europe before, bat it was always the same
until I thought I knew exactly what yoar
wife would say. But I didn't. She told
me of things I had not seen, nor even
heard of, and her eyes sparkled, and ber
face lighted np—but pshaw 1 I believe
you are laughing at me, and thinking I
am raving over her as a woman does over
something that takes her fancy for the
moment."
"No I am not laughing, but if yoa wfll
ait down, I will tell you all about it, and
then you may go and do likewise. Yoa
see, I bad rather given np the idea of
marrying, for none of tbe women I met in
society quite came np to the ideal wife my
imagination bad pictured, and I fancied I
oould But be bappy without something
very nearly approaching it, I just tried to
content myself with a lifa of single blessedness. My mother—dear old lady—was
oue of the loveliest women I ever knew,
and I wanted a wife who would resemble
her in character, or none at all. As I
thought it impossible to find one I gave ap
the idea of marrying,"
"Bat you did marry,"
in  won't stop  long
take another.   I'm
'"No, but the  tra
enough, I am afraid.'
'"Never mind, I'll
not in a harry.'
"Daring the two hours the old grandfather had been kept waiting, he bad imagined a whole catalogue of accidents,
and when be saw his grandchild in my
arms, be trembled like a leaf, and although
he knew she was not dead, acted as lie
might have done if she had beea. I saw
I mnst take matters in my own bands, and
told bim I was a doctor, and asked if ha
had room for me in his carriage, as I
would like to see my patient attended to
for the night. That seemed to bring him
to his senses, and be was all right when
he found I was willing to take charge of
his grandchild. He had a drive of some
miles, and I only k_ew of the suffering Of

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
The makers ot the Ivory Soap have been engaged in the manufacture of Soaps for over fifty years, and the "Ivory" is the happy
result ot their long experience, and is unquestionably tbe soap to be
used by all wbo value the advice (quoted below) of Ellen H. Richards.
Instructor in Chemistry, Woman's Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who says, "In the purchase of soap, it is
"safest to choose the make of some well known and long established
"firm who have a reputation to lose if their product a not good."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be " just as good as the ' Ivwy';"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities, ef
the genuine.   Ask for "hwy" Soap and insist upon getting it.

I kept tbe grandfather talking and telling
me of anything I fonnd interesting to him.
It was moonlight when we reached onr
destination, aud I never dreamed that a
simple, unpretending boat house could
look like snch a lovely place as that. The
grandmother took things more qnietly
than ber worthy spouse, and though ber
anxiety showed itself in her face, it did
not in ber manner nor actions. I soon
found that I wonld wound tbe feelings of
the old couple if I refused to accept their
hospitality for tbe night and so nothing
loath, I staid. That night—Walter, 1
shall never forget ber words and look as
she bade me good-night.
" 'I dou't kuow bow to thank yoa,' she
said, looking full into my faoe with her
great brown eyes. 'I am sure no one
could ever have carried mo as carefully as
you did. Indeed,' she said, as simply as a
child, and I saw a tSSK glistening in her
eye, 'I am sure your patients must all
love you very dearly.'
"Mortal man oould not bave stood tbat
unmoved, and before I retired I made up
my mind that it should sot be my fault if
my patients did not all love me, bnt yoa

ging the old lady to let me board with ber
for tbe summer, assuring her I wa* anxious to be where I oould get pure conntry
air, and that I would feel a little more at
home there than among strangers. Tbe
dear old soul would have kept me as a
guest ont of gratitude for my care of her
grandchild, but wben I assured her ttat
that could not be, told me tbat ill waa
willing to put ap with their plain way of
living I was welcome to stay iu any way
that suited me.
"Tben it was that I began to see life ia
a new light. Ia tbe mornings I was
obliged to amuse myself as best as I eould,
for my little country giri, as I called her
in my thoughts, was busy helping ber
grandmother, with house, dairy, and chickens. Ia tbe afternoon, however, she was
free, and suoh walks, drives and talks as
we had i She knew books, and I people
and places. She had read and I bad seen.
I wish you could have seeu the brown eyes
at times, when I told ber of the great
world they bad never seen.    I had never
she was comfortable.   Tne re.* t of the time, thought myself there was so much of ia-
terest in it.
"By the middle of the summer, the old
lady sought me out when I was alone one
day, aud looking me in the face, said,
withont any preface:
" 'My Iriend, wa are glad to have you
here, and thank you truly for what you
have done te aa, but we haye a grandchild whose happiness is more to us than
anything else in the world.'
" 'Aud you think my presence here may
destroy ber happiness? Perhaps yon
think I may try to win her love, and then
go way and forget her ?'
" 'I do uot think you would willingly
hurt ber, but she is only a country girl
and—'
" Mother,' I said—no other name seemed
to suit her, and I had called her by it for
some time—'I want your granddaughter
for my wife.    May I have her if I can win
**__
'Tor  a moment sho said nothing and
the tears were iu her eyes when she looked
up and said:
*• IJbe is only a conntry girl, yoa know,
and ber ways are not like the ways of city
folks.   You might be ashamed—'
14 'Ashamed of her ! Never mother,' I
said. *It is> because she is a oountry girl,
aad ber ways are not like those of city
folks that I want her,1 and before we separated i had won tbo old lady over to my
side; and before tte leaves began to fall,
I had won my bride. It was a simple
oountry wedding, witb no pretensions to
style or elegance. My bride was an orphan, and had been living since her father's
death, witb an aunt wbo had recently died,
so quietly we were married. I had come
ofi""li__.'i flrst for a couple of weeks, and
made my arrangements for a lengthy absence, telling only mj sUtcr of what was
about to oecur. But I did i__t even invite
her to tbe wedding, for I wanted my wife
to become accustomed gradually fa her
new life. Not that I was in any sense of
the word ashamed of her. No, I would,
at any time, have been willing to put her
anywhere 'in society,' feeling that in a little wbile she would adapt herself to the
situation; bat I did not want her rudely
shocked and bewildered, as I knew she
must be, by too sudden a feeling of the
newness and change in ber life, so we went
first amoug the mountains she loved, seeing them in their autumnal glory, aad
then we crossed the ocean. I thought I
had been to Europe before, but I soon
began to think I was mistaken.
"And now—bnt you bave seen her yourself. Do you think I have made a mistake in taking ber from her former life,
and placing her where I have?
"Mistake I Well, if you have, I'd liko
to make the same; and if it was uot too
late, you may rest assured I'd begin thu
