" Yes, I suppose it's all very fine and rrand, but I b'lieve I'd rather Eddie had jaken a fancy to some one who wouldn't have felt himself too fine and grand for hernia and pa.'' " I can't see but that the young man is perfectly civil and respectful. And certainly his mother has acted the lady bv you. Called on you tirst, and asked Eddie there to tea right off. We should bear in mind that she never expected to make the acquaintance of plain folks like as."

Rut 111 tell you what, pa—l mean to have my own way about the wedding, for all Mrs. I,c Roy's wheedling soft Speeches." Mr. Clark wa* always more or less absent-minded when he came home at night from the store. It was a minute or two liefore he asked, as was expected ofliiin. "What do you mean. Eliza?" "As it's to be an Episcopalian wed ding, it ha to lie in church, and of course there'll be a crowd, her friends as well as ours. And she is ashamed of us.

Just you say that you nave left it to the women-fiks to settle the wedding." Mr. Clark received his orders meekly. He hoped he would not 1m? called upon to combat the eloquence of Mrs. Is> Hoy. lie doubted that he could hold out again-l it unless his wife were by to hack him. He sighed. He hated to see Eliza fretted. It wa- hi- nature to take thing# as they came, but it was certainly sot hers. Rut he bad never seen her so completely upset as she was now. Some mothers would have lieen elated at the prospect of a daughter's marryini above her, as the phrase gi *. but of these was not Mrs. Clark. She was satisfied with her own station in iife. She preferred to keep to f.cr own ways and that other people should keep to theirs. She felt that she was as good as anybody else, and she did not desire to be thrown with people who held a contrary opinion. The next morning came a pleasant, sordial not-- from Mrs. !>• Roy, asking the Clark-—father, mother, daughter— to tea with Ifer that evening. Eddie wished to accept the invitation, and Mrs. Clark eouid never heir to crow Eddie * wishes. She therefore sonu'wliat unwillingly dressed herself in her best and brushed up her old man. "Now, pa. don't give in to her." were her last words as they were admitted for the irt time into the beautiful !*• Roy mansion—really a mansion, built in Port ltoyal in the old colonial times. Mis. 1/p Hoy received them with a manner that was gracious ties# itself. If she cnad>' up her mind to do a thing at all. ■hedid it thoroughly. She had combated her son's engagement to beautiful Eddie Clark as long as there remained a grain of virtue in opposition. Now she d< t'r ilined that there should IK* no vulgar femily jar*. She showed a proper gen tility in thai at least. Alas! Mrs. Clark was powerless to in terrupt a long, amicable tctc-a-Ute be twein their hostess and her liusiaind. •luring which George Hoy showed her the various curiosities with which the drawing-rooms were filled, and Eddie played soft air- on the piano, Kildic had been beautifully taught at the academy; her tact in music, as in other matters, w.ien she chose to exercise it. was great; she played in that charming pensive, twilight style which serves so admirably to fill up odd corners and crannies. George walked home with Eddie; the husband and wife were together. " I've done it," Mr. Clark said, desper ately, as soon as they were fairly started. "Hiie wa too much for mc; I couldn't help ft." " You didn't agree that a perfect stranger should give away Eddie?" "Yes, I did. After all, what matter does it make? Anyway, it can't be helped now; and it's notfiing but a form anyway." "Our only chiid!"groaned Mrs. Clark, with tears. Her heart was very soro. At that moment she would far rather Eddie had been going to marry Joe Thompson, a clerk in her father's store, who had been in love with her for years, and who would have iieen honored by the connection, rariierthan hluc-h)oodcd George !/• Roy, to whom Eddie's parents were a thorn In the flesh, to lie endured as best might he Mrs. Is- Roy carried the day; Mr. Clark, having given Ids word, held hy I. like an honest man. The wedding took place in fit. Mary's, and Mr. and Mrs. Clark were ushered to their seats like aii the nut of the congregation, to see their darling married. Mrs Ho Roy swept in on her son's arm. calm, cool, collected; the bride followed, supported by the white-headed governor of the State. Ln bitterness of heart her mother heard Iter take the vows which made her Edna I-c Hoy. It was a large, digni fied assemblage, in which good Mr. and Mrs. Clark felt lost. They felt equally .oft afterward at the wedding reception at Mrs. He Roy's. It was a very melan choly satisfaction to tbam to hear on all ■idea praises of the bride's exquisite love liness.

He was arieh man, but be bad a profession to which lie proposed to devote bimseif. For the next two years he attended medieal lectures in Paris as assiduously as though he had bivn a needy student anxious to go to work to earn a living. He and Edna were very happy during those two years; it was the life that suited Edna— art and inusie and congenial society. The world was even gayer and brighter tlian lier day dreams had pictured it. Then a year of travel. Then home. Eddie' had never known how she had missed her dear father and mother until she found herself once more clasped In their loving arms. How had she done without, nil litis while, the ir extraordin ary devotion, their blind infatuation? bite had never half enjoyed her own two babb - until site had shown them to her father and mother. Tears of joy and pride i lined down Mrs. ('lark's cheeks. Kddic's little girls! There never were such beauties, such darlings. Eddie's eyes, clear, brown, eager, with their father's heailtiful golden hair. Fortun ately they were sufficiently like their father's family to win favor with their grandmother He Roy on that score. On the whole, she was -atfstb'd with tic appear ance presented bv Iter son's family. Ed die's French toilettes were stylish and becoming: the elder baby pratthsl in French in a distinguished way; the baby proper was a study for a picture as she lay in the arms of her tonne, whose pie. turesoue cap and apron were the Itrst that had ever appeared in Port Koyal. Edna really did not do (jeorge discredit; she would be well enough, if only it were not for her vulgar father arid mother. Still there were no jars. Hut, all the same, Feins grew gradually h.ir.iAscd and unhappy. It became patent to her that Mrs. I/" Hov looked down upon hcrante eedents, and that it was perpetually upon her mind to instruct her in the different articles of her own social et —d. Eddie's gentle soul rebelled. She !• <1 her own pride of birth. She hated Mi s. I*> Hoy's arrogance and assumption. She almost hated Mrs. Ie- Hoy. llay after day she was made to appear to disadvantage bo fore (jeorge. ltay after day sin- felt that sh>" was stiffening and hardening liefore the icy breath of her mother-in-law's constant surveillanee. A word here and a word there will prejudice almost un aware#. (Jeorge, for the tirst time, noticed that his wife had defects; she kicked self-control, self-possi s-ion. These things would eonie in time hut they were an indispensable part of the equipment of a finished woman of the world. Gradually (jeorge began to olyect to her frequent visits to her parents, al though never in so many words. The argument he Used was that she was so much away from home; he saw so little of her. Gradually Eddie abandoned tit's point; hut in return she resolved that site would he equally chary of her visits to otle r places. Hhcestablished a character for un#*' lability and indiffer ence among all the Is' ltoys' friends in Port Royal, people whom Mrs. Is' Hoy had urged ie rto cultivate—" for your husband's sake, my dear; a physician's wife cannot exercise too much discretion in the choice of a tuaintnnces." Gradually she did not seem to herself to be the same girl. Oh. if only she and (Jisirge could live in a little house of their own! This great, grand house vs a prison. But it had always been on the cards that George with his mother An unusual devotion ex isted between the mother and son. Eddie was not a wise woman. She made no effort to conceal the bitterness In her soul from her own parents. They knew that she was not happy; they never dreamed of blaming her when day after day went by without their seeing her. Rut they dill blame Mr- [s Hoy. and none the lens as they saw Eddie grow quiet and dull and changed. (jeorge and she drifted farther and farther apart. His was an impression able nature, which speedily fell aivay from the magnetism of any influence which was not vigorously exerted. And lie iikisl life and gayety; Eddie's mood chilled and rtjirowsl him. He had no sympathy for people with the blues. So he sought amusement elsewhere. If Ed d to return visits, the more rea son that he should visit vigorously. He was always warmly welcomed at the houses of his old intimates. The Sto reys. lor instants", made as much ot him as though he still were unmarried, lie believed those girls would do anything for him. He showed Eddie with some what ol schoolboy triumph a pair of slippers Minna Storey had worked for him in shaded flosses. Port Koyal—at least its exclusive circles—always left home in August and September. The I/- Hoys from time im memorial had gone to the Sweet brier springs during those months. It was decided to carry out Ids usual pro gramme, almost without consulting Mrs. George I/" Roy. She, for her part, detested the idea of going, as indeed she had ended by detesting all the He Roys' doings. Nevertheless, Swei thrier springs was a pleasant place enough, in the heart of the peaceful, sereti" mountains. It was not so lar from Port Royal but that (Jeorge could join his family once a week, for which fact Eddie would have been more than thankful had she had the full benefit of his society when he did come. Rut there were not many men at the sp ! ,gs, and llr. Is" Roy was handsome and popular. His wcekiv arrival was the signal among the idle girls at Sweetbrier to monopolize his attentions. And George was nothing loath. He came up here to recuperate and to have a good time, and when tie applied to having a good time, it was with the same zeal which lie hail brought to bear upon the study of Ids profession. The Storey girls were his warmest ad mirers. Minns Storey was as liewitch ingly beautiful as the typical Eastern Iwuri—all rounded curves and dimples, soft, tendrilly brown hair, and laughing, mischievous hazel eyes. She was a girl who never hesitated to follow the bent of her pleasures, although these at times led her into somewhat devious ways. She genirally h id a love affair on hand, although this was apt to lie not so much a flirtation aa a romp. At least this was the distinguishing characteristic of her present encounter with Dr. I* Roy. It was great ftin, no doubt, hut it could hardly he said to be dignified. As the weeks slipped by, the feet grev. to he an I established one among the other girl* 1 that I >l*. !*• Hoy was Minna Btorey's ex ! elusive property. | Eddie was wretched. Those women ! are perhaps to lie envied who, in Himilar situations, cultivate a gnyety which, if forced, nt least serve* as itn escape-valve. Eddie not only was wretched but looked so. And George became irritated, lie actually was at lost in the condition of believing himself to tie the aggrieved ' party. One evening, when Eddie hung over : the children until they were asleep, crooning soil air* to thein which always lulled them to rest soonest, she Wandered down stairs with the vague intention of linillng George and trying to dispel the ! miserable cloud which had hung between them now for so long. A wish to do *0 had come into her heart as she kissed her babies good-night. She. driftisl- down the great soundingstairwav, looking like a pale ghost with her sail eyes and her flowing white dress. She glanced out on the different piazzas on her way; the ; 1 martlets were apt to walk and sit about |on these during the long evenings. But ; she did not see her husband. She drilled through the parlors, where there were card-playing, dancing, music. "Ixiok at Mrs. Is-Hoy. How beauti ful she is!" one person remarked. "And how intensely unhappy! J'oor thing! What a pity that any one with a heart should have married George Is ; Hoy!' tslie stood in the open doorway and looked tip and down the piazza on whh h opened the parlors. Ah. at last! George ; was seated with his hack toward In-r. In a lounging, negligent attitude. Facing 1 him, in an attitude equally negligent, was Minna Storey, lor dfimdi'd llae j ehante fare Upturned to his; tier white awns gleaming out of the falling rose colored sleeve* of lor dress, and wreathed with Human iwarls.

She was combing at the long hair presently, when George knocked at the •hsir. i 1 i that rigid look on her fare, j that hurt look in her eyes.

Then the horses, having done their worst, tood still. Tlie driver picked himself up and surveyed the scene of the di*ater.

"Hurry! hurry!"' he cried. "Tlie stage ha* gone over the side of tin moun tain. Mrs. I,e Hoy is dead."

The rest of tlie party escaped unhurt, except for trifling cuts and bruises; hut wlnn they laid heron Iter bed they thought thai life was extinct. I might quote page* in support of the assertion that the worth of a treasure 1* emphasized hv the dicqfl of losing it. Harshness, indifference, neglect, dogged George Hoy'* steps like stern accusers, now that Eddie lay speechless, tineon- I scions, for hopeless hours. It seemed to him that he had killed her. If lie had been with her this might not have hap- , pencd. Surely he might have shielded tier. Shielded her? Ah! had lie shielded . her from other dangers, other Ills? Tin hitter reproach haunted him that he had 1 betrayed his trust. How utterly little and contemptible their dissensions now seemed! Only Iho one truth remained, that she *.u Ids, tlie woman he lovirl, the only woman who could fill his heart. He sent for her father and mother. They came, wntng by the cruelist an guish ; but they came just as she began to revive. Youth Is stubborn; life Is olwtinatc; and love wrestled with prayer. George U Roy had never known before what it was to face a mysterious Providence, omnipotent, and yet heark ening to supplication. Eddie was given hack to him again given back to him, so it seemed, from death. It was a second marriage. We often wonder if we could live our lives better If we could live them over again. Certainly Eddie and her hus band profited by their former mistakes. For one thing, they spent their second honeymoon In • home of their own. When Eddie went down from Sweet brier spring*, in the full, to Port Koyal, she found n lovely house made ready for her, of which she wan the unconditional iniMlr*HM. George explained, to nil whom It might concern, that the situation of the house suited the requirements of lilm practice better than that of the IA- Hoy homestead. It win astonishing how easy it was to get on with Mrs. Is- Hoy mere oiler this. .Sometimes, indeed, Eddie wondered whether her former trouble* had not be"n chimeras of her brain. As for Mr. and Mrs. Clark, they were at last entirely reeoneiled to their daughter's marring!.

It is not frr nothing that the adage, as easy as an old shoe, has passed mto the proverbial litera ture of the world.

Thin flannel from head to foot will equalize the temperature of th laxly, and prevent many an attack of cramp and sudden cold. Some mothers think that a woolen texture next the "kin must of necessity make a child too warm in the hot July and August weather. 'litis is a mistake. Linen arid cotton are apt to become clammy and ' hill, especially when saturated with perspiration, and flannel is therefore I safer, a* well as more agreeable in every way.

So he does not feel the need of change as she ikes, and he is too se.fUh to exert himself to please Iter; the time be would do that is past. As it is too far for her to go alone, she stay* at home.
