He left his office whistling merrily and thinking of Grace, an hour later ho was car ried slowly into his bright home, a helpless, iiaiwiean creature. unly tin accident, no body to blame, a nnssplaccd switch." An two or three souls hurled into etcrnity,whilo a score more, Dexter among them, hovered on the borders of tho Silent Land for week: beforo they were thoroughly secured to this troublous sphere. Dexter's partner, Rylance, mot with no casuality on his way homo; fortunately ho was dependent on nothing mora danceroi or tricky than the spirited steeds which draw tho horso cars. His wife, Gertrude, met him with a kiss; an apetizmg odor greeted ins nostrils when ho opened tho dining room door, which was not belied by tho reality, and when ho sat down by tho drop-light after dinner to read tho evening paper ho was at peaco with liim self and nil tho world. u, ucny, mere a a letter Irom your sister in my pocket, I almost forgot it; Rylance suddenly exclaimed, feeling in one pocket after another. "I must liavo left it in my overcoat 111 get it." " No, you aro tired, I shall get it. " Nonsense I Sit still," persisted Rylancc; starting quickly towards tho door. But Gertrudo was too quick for him and ran into tho hall beforo ho had got to tho door. Sho was absent somo minutes, and when sho returned her fico was palo and stern; her husband hardly recognized her voice, it was so cold and harsh, as sho said, holding out a rose-colored note: "Adrian Rylance, what docs this mean?" " I don't kuow why Gerty, what's tho matter? Any of your family ill?" "No. I refer to this," pointing to tho nolo. " What is it?" Donieiiiing wuicn accounts for your anxiety to prevent my going to your over coat pocKot. "what do you mean? Do plainly 1" speak " I mean that I demand an explanation ol tliis noto Irom Maggio Caldcr.' " I have no noto from her." "How can you say so ? Hero it is, with tho cnvelojw plainly addressed to you, and torn open." As Gertrudo in her righteous wrath, laid tho offending sheet of pink note-paper under ner husband's eyes ho started and turned crimson as ho read it. " Tliis is outrageous. I" ho exclaimed. " I ngreo with you. I know that you had walked and talked a goal ileal with tho girl. Only last Monday Grace Dexter Baid that she wondered that I permitted it ouo of your shop girls but I did not think mat ters had gone so far." "Good Heaven.! Gerlv I You don't bo- ., ' v 1IUVU ' Am I a fool 1 T.et tnn iwiil It ntnn.l Perhaps I havo omitted an explanatory phrase," said Gertrude. Tho cpistlo was as follows : " Dear Adrus: I did not See vnii lii.t evening as I exjwetod. I'ray whero were you? How could you neglect tis 6o? Lit tle Maggie is jialoj and seems (It. You mutt come and sco her to-morrow. Make tho usual excuso to your wife. What n lucky thing women know 60 little about Masomo meetings! Don't forget that wo aro to go out of town on Sunday.

Don't pcrjuro yourself I I would not believo you with a thousand oaths!" " Hut, Gerty, do listen" " I won't listen to another word I Brother Charlie shall listen for me! Can you deny that you havo had a vast deal of 'business' away from homo lately ? Didn't you plead an engagement when I asked you to go out with mo on Snnday ?

Bridget was tlevoted to her mistress nnd hastened to her aid. bestowing somo very uncomplimentary epithets on Rylanco a3 sho did so. It was nothing new to Bridget to sco a -voman lolled by a husband: aim supplied nil men treated their wives thus, Gertrudo was stunned, and Adrian rushed for physician; Bridget sont her "cousin,1 who happened to bo in tho kitchen (whero ho was to bo found seven nights in tho week), to summon Mr. and Mrs. Charlio Woolcroft, and when thoy arrived, tho lat ter, Gcrty'd only brother, had a conversa tion with Rylanco which was moro nolcd for its clcaruosscandor, and emphasis than lor sauvity cr compliment. llio next morning Gertrudo went to her parents, who lived in Lowell, refusing to see or speak with her husband, and Rylance was iniormcd by Mr. Woolcroft and his son that unless ho could explain the matter satis f.ictorily in thrco months proceeding; would bo instituted for a divorce. Maggio Caldcr ticnipij ftoutly that sho wroto tin letter: bii,t every oiio) oven her lover, declared that llio writing was un doubtedly her's. No "littlo Maggio" was to bo found, but tho suspicion was so injurious that her lover broke his engagement to her, almost breaking his heart at llio samo time, ancNo quiet all goisip Mr. Caldcr sent her away to somo relatives in Albany, bidding 11.- -.-!. 1 'l''. , mem waicuiicr cioscjy. , Rylanco was so angry will, his wifo for leaving hliri so suddenly giving him no opportunity to smooth over or explain away the causo of offense, or to make any 'apologics for tho past and promiso for llio luturb that ho sent ono or two very intcmpcr'ato Sum monses for her to return to him', Tills sho refused emphatically to ilo. AVhercunon he, ralher to tho surpriso b'f llio Woolcrofts, sued for a divorce and got it without much trouble; for) woilian-likc, when Gertrudo fouud that her husband desired to bo freo from her, sho not only refused to say any thing against him, but toro up Maggie's noto so that her father had not eventhat'to bring waiiis. i.iii-j.-. As soon as tho divorco was granted him Rylanco wrote to Maggio Calder and offered to marry her as tho only means ho had of repairing Iho injury ho had dono her. This, however, Maggio rciused to demand Rylanco found himself alono in tho world; moro alono than ho had ever been beforo and moro miserablo than ho had conceived it Iio'ssiblo for n eaiio, busy man to be! And busy enough ho was, fortunately for lilm. His partner! Dexter, was so seriously injured in tho head that lio was ill for weeks, and it was several months beforo his phv sicians wero sure that Ills brain was not permanently affected. Ho was ordered to travel all tho autumn, and nt last, about Christmas, ho was allowed to return to Ills homo nnd business! Ashd had .been carefully guarded from all unpleasant news or excitement, ho know nothing of hi3 friends domestic troubles, an'd thought Rylance acted very strangely when he said, in resiwnso to Dcxtcr's inquiry as to Mrs. Rylance's health. " I really cannot tell you anything about it.' Something occurred to Interrupt Dexter just then, but about an hour afterward ho said: "How dreadfully slow nil vou fellows must havo been whilo I was away, with no one to joke or tease you!" ' 1 os, Joe, wo havo missed your nonsenso amazingly. V.'o did not even celebrate your favorito holiday. April fool's day." How could you when tho fool of the establishment- was absent? Talking of jokos reminds mo to ask you how you and Ger trudo enjoyed that littlo hoax of initio? I meant to havo been round that evening to 6eo tho fun." " What do you mean ?" Why that noto signed 'Maftiio' which I tucked into your overcoat pocket just beforo i went nomo the day I was smashed up? You didn't lose it I hopo ?" Dexter, was that one of your pranks?" " Yes" answorod Dexter, with alaush t then catching sight of Rylance's face, ha said earnestly, "I hope you and your wifo did not havo any Jittlo iiiiplaajautneas about it? ButofOourso-" " It was tho oaiiso of our dlvproe," " Divorce I O, Rylance, what liavo I done ?" And Rylanco told tho mischief that tho noto had wrought. Dexter replied : " I ncyer thought of that Caldcr girl I Why did I stumblo on her namo ? It was mere accident, but, O 1 so stupid of me. Whero ft Gertrudo ? I will go and explain; it is tlio, least I can do. 0, Adrian, I am so griorcdj so shocked at my awful blun der I" i'arrant advised mo not to do it too. I will never piny another practical joko ns long as I live," Dexter wroto n long letter to Mrs. Rylanco cxplaininghis conduct and exculpating his friend, and mailed it that afternoon. Both lib nhd Rylance though tho latter would not own it wailed impatiently for a reply but nono ever came. Gertrudo had mourned over her broken idol and grieved so deeply for her fond hus band that by autumn she was quite ill, and her mother took her abroad to try what ef fect a winter in Italy would have. Whilo in Florence, early in December, Gertrudo and her mother met Mr. Farrant. Mrs. Woolcroft, finding that ho knew nono of tho particulars pf tho trouble between Gertrudo and 'drian! gavo him a brief out lino of tlio matter, and he, of course, nt onco explained tho mystery. When con vinced of tho truth of Mr.Farrant's state ment, Gertrudo was very much distressed to tliink that sho had left Adrian so hastily, even though appearances wero so much against him. Sho insisted ujion returning homo at once, although they had been on tho continent but thrco weeks, and poor Mrs. Woolcroft was obliged to start on another sea voyago beforo recovering from tho effects of tho first. Learning on their arrival at home, that Adrian was living in their former homo quite alone, savo for an old cook, Gertrudo went immediately there. It was lato in tho afternoon, and sho sat town in her accustomed chair by tho win dow to watch; as of old, for Adrian's return. Her heart was beating rapidly her cheeks wero flushed with anxiety; how, sho said to herself a tliousand times in tho half Jinnr of solitary wali'liirig) will ho reeflivo me?
