clasp of kart , ag }made, when one re
membered that Ethel Romer wits
Wife 410/11f was neglected , but Ralph
did not complain.
So the long year rolled around, and
Valentine's Day came again, Ethel
had washed 111111 waited for its com
ing - not quite the 81111113 pure hearted
Ethel. Thoughts she dared nut utter
had crept into her soul. The soldier
with the great black eyes and soft
voice, who made his empty sleevemily
another charm to win heartwv—who had
told her all he dared with huts tongue,
and more with glance and
she had long ago decided, be the wri
ter of those valentines, so full of love
and ',adios, so terider,so different front
anything that Ralph Romer ever felt
or uttered.
She had given him a kint, and if it
were he, she would sorely know it this
day.. And if it were he, then Ethel
Romer knew that it had been better
for her ',ever to have been horn ; for,
the sake of him who wrote those love
poems,she wits willing to forsake home
and husband, and wifely name and
fame, and he the scorn and flout of the
whole village. To be so loved for a
little while, and then die, was all she
asked..
"If it comes to that," she said, isn•
lowering her own thoughim, "how illy
name will ritiz„, It will• be blanker
than Satan. Do you know—those
pi.iper, Irtven village women, who tv‘ll
scorn me 140—what it is for a loving
woman to lead a loveless life ? It
withers one as Ileeleet 'and eitlif have
iLliere.l those poor flowers there."
Fin—Ethel had — act iorth no flower
pots in thy, stn to day, nor f o r unsay
morning she had watched
her husband ride away on Ilia great
blown horse, thinking how grave and
seasons he was,how old in all his ways,
how Old-mannish silts liis gray over
evil and broad rimmed hat ; saving to
herself, "If I were to leave him, and

in with all your views, without making
a single suggestion or correction of his
