There is nothing an God's earth that I can mil my own!' She did not answer by a word; but stood motionless, with the same pen etrating, doubtful look fixed on him. Now, Mary was not naturally a reti cent woman ; all her emotions bub bled straight to the surface. She had been a,gay giddy girl,and now,when she was a mother, she kept the house alive with what her husband censured as &most unmatronly light hearted nging, Jesting, laughing mod of the time, and washing away any trouble in a shower of tears. Her immobility now proved how deep his thrust had wounded her. 'You've nobody in the world! No body! Not even me,' shesaid,slowly, at last. She turned to the window, putting her hand, for support, on an old chair that stood there. It was a worn mid shabby chair; but she had nursed botitof the children in it,Jack ey and littleJenny—Jenny, who was dead, who would never lie on her breast again. Did she remember? She looked at it, and then at him for a moment; and then,without a wonl,. turned away and left the room. He knew that she would never en ter it again. It was strange how nin ny of these intuitions amounting to certainties, came to him to night.— He thought that pain, in this great crisis of his life, had given him a spir itual clearness of insight. Another person might havesuggmted that the devil helped him. It was only seven o'clock ; there 4:) were two hours et to pass before the , looking end. Ho sat by he tire, pushing the barsand him. re was nothing in °cheaply furnished, pretty chambe that had not to night a terrible rnea ing for him. He re membered w nhe had brought that very chair home, two or three weeks after Jack was bttro; and, lifting Mary out of bed, hAd placed her in it. and laid her baby in her arms. That was only xis years ago, yet he thought of himself then as but a boy. What a perpetual frolic they made of life then ! Hard at work and miserably poor; but joking away all weariness or want—full of joy and content the world was ;. how many friends they had then ! He had learned since to see things .differently. \Vheu he set his heart on paying off that mortgage, it seemd to suddenly open his eyes to the se riousnees of life. It affected his re ligion. Ho began to see hiults.ln the old friends who were in the hab it of dropping In every day, finding Mary's houses° pleasant; - he began to fear his own and his wife's splikit ual character - would suffer from con tact with them. One by one he had driven them off. As ho stinted and saved more and more to gather this money, his ideas of duty hardened. He had grown old and grave, while Mary remained the same cheerad, happy tempered girl.

HO sat' down again Searching again for miserable s ecrets In the lire. He had bocome a wiser- man since he bad bedb 111. Sitting staring dayalter day Into the embers, he had learned how utterly hollow the world was, how treaeh'erons were men, and ßow fidthless were women. Nothing was true but God; and as Clod, to Sans Sender, meant his own narrow notions of duty. there was' nothing to lift him out of the slough In the 'thought; there was nothing In. it either-to cheek him hr the slow, sub; tie madness that nerved him to his present purpose.

When Jockey's bed time came, he heard his mother-bring the child to the door, and opened U. for him to enter.

Passing the, door of the child's room he lahl his hand on the wood, with a sudden, passionate tenderness, as though it had been the boy himself. "Jockey! Jockey !" he cried. To-morrow the child would be ahMe—without father or mother! It might have been dif ferent. • But it was too late now. He went down the stairs, and entered a small unlighted room adjoining the parlor. In another moment there was a foil of wheels on the street, a carriage stopped nt'the door, and then there was a low ring at, the bell. "They carry the matter boldly," be muttered. Whatever agony pain the old love that would not stifled had cxst, him to-night, was over now; an implacable madness seized him— the fury with which the bound pants the moment before it falls upon Its prey. They. were in his power. He crept nearer to the door•, held It ajar, his hand upon the lock. He heard Crompton enter, and the next moment the soft rustle of , Mary's dress. He could not distinguish her words, but the tones of her voice made htm shudder. Not for years had they thrilled with such nervous, trembling Joy as now. She laughed once, a low, hystercial laugh not far from tears. Crompton spoke in a whisper. Once she raised her ,voice a little. 'You do not know what to-day is to me! I have waited for it for years!' Bender raised his hand—his finger was on the trigger. He pushed the door; but before it cpened,Mary left the parlor, going lightly up stairs. Mho apparontly forgotten some thing Mr her flight. • Ho stood waiting, her steps sound ed above him. When she should re open the door would be his time. • She was on the stairs. One ma meat more—then—she broke into the verse of an old silly habit of hers to sing when her heart was full : “Site true bhp bean, sae smooth his speech, Ills breath like caller air, Ills very step has musk hit As be comes op the stair. For there'd no luck about the house, There's nee lack at e, u There's Mtn pleas= In thehouw when my god. mates awe.” It was his song. Ho had liked it best in their old courting duys ; he hail made her sing the children to sleep with It always. The pistol dropped from his hand. 'She is true! My tics'! She is true!' He stood there, for how long he never knew: He heard the low mur mur of their voices. Tne devil, bu sure, did not leave him altogether. Ho fancied her hand in crompton's -their tips meeting. But the weap on lay at his feet untouched., Why should ho not at least opeli the door? He had a right to their secret, whether guilty or not.' The man trembled. • Brest drops of sweat wrung out on his forehead. 'She is my wife. She is a true wo man. Though , she kill me, yet will trust in her.' Yet there was nothing to fight back the devil of suspicion but that cheery old song! Thu hall door opened and shut at last. There were hurried.voic out side, and then the carriage rolled away.

Mary stood there, her fare flushed tears in her oyes, folding up a strip of paper.— When she mw him, she sprang for ward, and hugged him close. 'The money ! the money !' she sob bed.
