Everard Dale's Lesson.
"Everard, do not po nnd leavo mo
liero alone,1' sulil Agnes Dale, clasping
her small lintirts piteously; "It seems so
gloomy, am! trouhlo Is near, I know."
'.'.Nonsenso, Agnes. There la no
trpiiblo coming. Tour foolish fancy
has Invested ray golnc to Mew York
with terrors having no foundation,"
and Everard Dale laughed merrily.
"Hut there 13 no particular need of
your going now, nud you khovv how I
feel."
"I could go next week or next month
as vicll, hut I must go some lime, and
choose to go now, ju9t to. show how
foolish your fancies are,"
"Well, if that is tho case, I will say
110 mom ah nut It," and having pleaded
as long as her womanly dignity would
allow, Agnes turned and lclt tho room.
"What fooli-h creatures woolen arel"
said her husoand. "They think wo
must how to every whim and fancy
tliey havo. I will not do so, that's cer
tain." Ah I It husbands would sometimes
humor their wives' fancies, much mis
ery and many heart tragedies might ho
avoided,
Agnes Arnand and Everard Dale had
been married one year. Agnes was tho
mot beautiful nnd wealthy young lady
in Provost, and, whllo spending tho
summer there, Everard Dalo had be
come acquainted with her, and won her
for his wife. She was proud, intelli
gent, accomplished and womanly; nnd,
having been brought up lu a homo
where overy wish had been gratified,
had never known tho sting of disappoint
ment, Everard Dale was arhltary and
thoughtless In his own way, and care
e.is in ids method of obtaining It.
When she married Everard, Agnes
had loved nnd honored him, but she
had been bitterly pained when she camo
to know him thoroughly. Not that he
was wicked; he was simply selfish. He
loved his wife, but ills was one of tho
natures that think their manhood re
lujres an assumption of authority, es
pecially In their own households.
Everard and his wife had been grow
ing away from each other all tho year
of their married life, and now he waa
doing an unnecessary act that would
help to sever tho almost frail cord bind
ing ner to Mm.
She had beenmo possessed with tho
Ide-x that If ho went to Now York
troublu would enmu to her, nnd this Idea
ho had laughed at. She had tried en
treaty, almost prayer, but ho remained
obdurate. A poor hero, seemingly, yet
there was feeling In him, If the weak
selfishness that covered it could bo
pei.etrated, and something waken it to
ncllnn.
"Ho does not lovo 1110 at all, or ho
Would, do as I wish," and tho proud
woman bowed her head nnd wept bit"
ter tears.
Iiut she was mistaken. ITo did lovo
her, and would havosuffered much be
cause of this lovo, but having lived for
self alone, lie did not know what con
sideration tor others was.
"I will leavo him," sho CoutlnUcd,
'I will not be treated llko this; since lid
cares but for my money he can have it,
and I have loved him so much."
Agnes was lilizli tnirited. and with
her action followed quickly after
thought. At the time her husband
reached New York die left Provost,
.bound for the great metropolis.
alio left a letter for her husband on
tho table ih her dresslntr-ioom. It was
short and pointed, baying:
Evcuarii Dale I have learned thai when
yon and you luvcd mo n was iny money to
which von letoi'ied; lceeo It, autt may 11 do you
much Rood. 1 tuvu j 011, but I do not care to
loe iiul have no leiuru; therefore I leave you.
Where 1 nm iruinir no one kiiiiwa. but I sdall
not come baik. My trouole has cuuie to me.
Uoouoiol AO.Nl'A
Then, with hot tears burnlnc her
eyes, i,ho went away.
Three days after this Everard camo
home and iuquiied of tho servant who
admitted lilm where, his wifo was.
Mrs Dalo left homo tho samo day
you did, ami has not yet returned,"
"DM tlto tay where sue was golug?"
"No, sir."
"Nor leave any word for mo?"
"Not that I know of, sir.""
Ilo stopped to hear no more, but hur
ried up tho broad stairway to her
rooms. They were -chill and lonely.
showing that no ouu had lately used
mem. a terror crept over mm, out lie
went on to the dreaslnii-rooui. which
opened beyond her boudoir. There ho
saw the letter, aud, breaklne the seal.
toon kjiow tho extent of his loss.
nail lils life met 110 shock, he would
always have remained a selUsb aud ar
hltary man; but tearing away of the
cloak that hid his true nature from
himself was what ho uceded to waken
his better manhood.
"1 liavu wronced her aud sho hates
rail." ho moaned, "and yell love her,"
and the proud man wept llko a child,
llut he roused himself, for, us 1 havo
nud, his iiianhond'uas strong. "I will
seek her," ho taid, "and Unit her If sho
be alive, and never shall in y feet pass
tho door of this house utiioss sho Is
with ino, or I know that she Is dead."
By lunuirlni! at tho station he found
that shu bad inkenthoNew York traiu.
So he placed tho houso in charge of a
servant and lollowed her. And now
began a weary search. He sought her
among her old frleudi, tho fashionable
people with whom slie bad been wont
to mingle, but they know nothing about
her.
Employers of sewing-women were
surprised to have n sad-eyed, line-look-
nig man solicit tlio privilege 01 warning
tliiuuyli their work-loom-) but though
bo vUlted all ot these places that he
Could find, nnd repeated tho Inspection
so often that tho superintendent and

Then ho trnversd tho vllo haunts of

brought him no iiearer tho end of his
search, and still ho did not grow hope
less. Onco he thought ho saw heir. It was
in the lntrlcato mazo of thoroughfares
between Uroadway and Chatham stiect.
As ho was hurrying on, a cart backed
violently on tho sidewalk, nnd had not

When ho could again proceed the form

fow seconds had Intervened, and he hur.
ried to tho next crossing, expecting to
seethe familiar figure lu this street, but
It was.uot thero.
Then ho patiently inquired at overy
door for blocks on either side of the
way he had been following, but to no
avail. This search through tho pover

Now York made Everard Dale a worthy

and bloomed and grew to noble frultago
"If I cannot find her I cau do some
good with her money," he thought,
and, whilst eeeklng her, his hand gave

his words of kindness, hope and lovo
called up bright smiles to many faces,
Leaving her home, Agnes had como
to tho great city, uncef tain what to do
or where to go. Whllo her money
lasted sho fared well enough, but when
it was all gone tho bitter trial camo,
She was beautiful, but beauty was a

and sold for gold. She was talented,

Agnes sought employmont, and at
last, when her plainest garments were
an tnat hunger nad left her, and star
vatlon stared her In tho face, her beau
ty obtained work ftora one who thought
to maico uer ins prey.
Thoao who have no knowledgo of

and groaning table prevent them from
thinking life is hard, or that somo eouls
are tempted and lured Into selling
themselves for bread, forget that they
are only a small part ot humanity, and
mat many cannot command oven the
mean things they spurn. Hut want Is

Clargham was deceived In Agnes. She
worked faithfully, but repelled all his
advances with a scorn and contempt
intr, was exasperating to one or his low
and base nature, so he discharged her.
Then camo another period of suffer
ing and Insult. The reader may won
der why Agnes did not co to her old
home, but after a woman has voluntarl-
ly abandoned her husband and friends
because sho thinks sho is unloved and
not wanted, it is impossible for her to
return unsought. Will a woman who
thinks her lovo Is slighted try to forco
it on a man?
Judge theso things by cveu a slight
knowledgo of human nature, and it will
bo easily seen why Agnos Dale pre
ferred insult and suffering to return to
Provost.
By strict economy she managed to
keep her squalid attic room for n
month after leaving Clargham's em
ploy.. Then winter and sickness came,
and she was thrust forth 0110 stormy
evening, to go she know not where.
She wandered aimlessly along the
streets, and was Jostled and stared at.
but bha heeded not; sho saw brilliant
llghts,but shunned these, and last camo
to the docks.
The tall masts of tho ships loomed up
tall end ghost-like against tho dark and
heavy clouds. Tho waves enmo moan
ing among tile wharves and vessels,
and tho sound seemed the death song
of a passionate, broken heart. Thero
was a sob nnd wail In the rising wind
that fitted well with the scene,
Alone, for tho gloom had made nil
other tnoitals seek tho glaro of tho
welhliiilited streets, she watched tlio
river (lowing on to tho ocean. She
coujd dimly see it through a space left
open at the end of the wharf whereon
she stood, and it looked very cold and
dark and still. Sho walked slowly to
wards it, and at.last stopped just abovo
IU shadowy flow.
"It Is ouly a step," she thought, and
then leaned against the large post that
stood at the corner of tho wharf ami
bighed wearily, and a sob ehook her
poor, weak form,
"Oh, if lie had only loved mel" sho
said, but there was no whisper of hopo
to comfort her, and hIio did not know
he had been seeking for her during all
the long mouths ot her sulleriug, that
even now he was near her, watching,
though bo did not kuow it was she.
"I will end It now," she cried bitter
ly, "and may Uod havo mercy on my
soull"
Then she attempted to sprinc Into
tho river's cold embrace, but a strong
hand held her back. She turned, and
from a paslng vessel came a gleam of
light that ran across tho dark waters,
up the face of the wharf aud last lit up
their faces.
"Agnes, darling I"
"Everard I" aud she sank lusenslble
at his feet.
Ho took her In his arm's and bofd her
brick Into tho lighted streets. People
stared at him, and wondering looks!
nnd questions followed htm, but ho
heeded nothing, nnd carried tho feint
form that was light as n babe's to hint
on to hlo hotel, whero ha laid her ort
his bed and chafed the cold hands and
feet, but sho gavO no sign of returning
consciousness.
Then the physician came and grave
ly shook his head. "I cannot say she)
will recover,'' ho said, "aud If she does
her reason will doubtless be clouded."
Everaid Dale's soul sent up a silent
prayer to God. "Save her, good Father!
give me time ami chance to show her
how 1 love her, and long for her for
giveness," and God heard aud answer
ed lils prayer.
It was after long weeks of watching1
aud cn.ro that Agnes Dalo opened her
t'yes to consciousness, and saw her hus
band bending over her, a great lovd
and tenderness In his oyes, and heard
his voice say softly. "Forgive mo, and
lovo mo again, my own darling 1"
Her weak hand sought his, and tho
wasted fingers closed around It, the)
light pressuro telling him that he' was
loved and forgiven. Experience bad
made him tender and loving, as well as
strong nnd true, and when Everard
Dalo bent down and kissed his wlfo'3,
thin' Hps, the kiss spoke to her soul and
told It what It most longed to hear.
As from darkness comes light, as
from the rough seed springs the beau
tiful llower, and from the coldness of
whiter Is borne tho glory of spting, so
from sotrow and pain came trust aud
love and Joy to these two souls.
