ELME ARNOLD'S HUSBAND.
L
Tw \ o \ lovers :were walking Slowly
one moonlight night along a solitary
stretch olbaach upon the shores of
Lake Michigan.
They were married lovers; but those
contrasts that\we instinctively call
" Made fo,each other " were display
ed in their, figures and in their young
faces turned to each other, dark and
blonde. Even iheit \ voices shared
this contrast, the one \firm, deep
toned and measured, the Other capri
cious in accent and tremulously sweet.
• " The only trouble is," said\Elsie,
every one says this *cannot, lastlt
seems that after awhile the most ro
mantic love—fo be sure, no love could
be quite so romantic as ours—either
fades away, or settles down in a
calm friendship. I should die of
calm friendship.' Even Aunt Maraiii
na told me upon my wedding-day,
Yol 4 cannot expect the hush - gird;
and the lover to be just the same.'
But: I do expect it;- do I not, dear
Fred?"
" You do expect it," answered her
husband. "And you are right; that
change will not come to us."
"And mast any change," asked
Elsie, Musingly, " come to us? I
suppose it must; sorrow and old age,
perhaps. Very soon, no doubt, I
shall have to' tie up these curls that
yon like so mach.' She glanced rue
fully at the long ringlets from which'
the straw hat was tossed 'carelessly
back. " Fred," she said, reproach
fully, "you might not love me- so
well if I should change."
"Do you, suppose I would not
know you through all change," 'he
asked, " certainl as I knewyon
in that blac - c omino the A—
mask ? Love identifies to the soul's
core;' it would n't'be worth living for,
if it did not. Besides, darling, you
have something that time does not
steal so easily as it steals - the mere
charm of youth, and that fascinates
me more deeply: you have grace."
" Grace? " repeated Elsie. She
lifted her eyebrows slightly, extend
ed her arm thoughtfully to the length
of the loosened hat-strings her dim
pled hand held; and-thrust one fairy
foot daintly forward and back.
• " Not for you own appreciation,"
said Fred, gravely, " but none the,
less for mine. Some one has re
marked—l forget- the precise lau
guage;but"the idea I recollect—' If
you love a woman for: her beauty,
you may love her for five years; if
you love'er for intellectual qualities,
you will love ten years; but' if you
love her fur her ways, you will love
'her forever.' NOW, Elsie, these waya
have nothing toile with complexion
or curls, my dear."
"And you?" said the little wife.
"-For lam not sure that my adora
tion for my husband,' is founded
strictly on•his ways. Some of those
ways are dark. How would it, be if
you should 'change ? Let me see
—if you should turn bald,. just here,"
smoothing up from his forehead the
dark locks she liked • "or 'if you
should lose an aye, and could only
look at me ha'f—oh, don t !—or if
you shonla grow stout—woefully
stout—could you blame me it ro
mance stopped? _ -Hopeless incom
patibility of square, inches between
affection and 'its object! for how
vuld I put a wing or a bax z window
on my heart? ft
"Do not talk so even in jest," said
Fred, really pained. "We may be
thankful that we have the power -to
look deep." -
"I do not wish to look deeP,"'said
Elie, willfully; I prefer shallows. I
neVAr looked deep in my life but I
saw something at the bottom of the
depth lying dead, or something un
speakably sad, as pale as death. But
there ! 'we are talking nonsense, and
it is growing late. I feel a chill of
night air from head to foot, and we
.have almo4 quarreled, I think. Dear
Fred, let us go home at once."'
They followed the white curve of
the inlet' toward the glimmering
lights of the town, and crossing a
narrow field-path in the outskirts,
entered the rudely-built and solitary
.cabiti that they called home.
The moonlight shown broadly into
a seantily-furmshed dwelling room,
under whose outer doorway a letter
had been thrusW'

WHO SHALL JUDOS
istellan‘
Is Faim• ARNOLD.-I find, for rea
sons you will appreciate, a (necessity
for getting off at once. We start to
morrow—whole family—at daybreak.
Expect you to join ns next week at
F—, , goods and chattels comp lete.
My respects to Mrs .- A. She is of
the same calibre as my wife. Such
women are a help. Hurrah for suc
cess, and Westward Ho !Doe."
This letter, meagre as it was, serv
ed to bestir the Arnolds at once.
More than a year had pu l sed since
Fred Arnold's imprudent marriage,
that diiipleaued not only his own
fiiends a blit those of the pretty school
girl, petted and portionless; who be
came his wife. Emigrating to the
West, mid waiting In c pa. ill-chosen
law office for .clients thu4biblier came,
he had nearly exhauitnd is small
patrimony. The doctor, his.com
panion's from the East, equally un
fortunate, failed to find in D—
the linked sickness long drawn out
upon which he had founded his pro
fessional, Lopes. Nothing remained
for them now but a removal to some .
more promising place.
Accordingly, the.first bright, morn. :
ing of the following week found El
sie and Fred perched upon a huge
baggage-wagon hiden with household
goods, 'erowly wending their way
along the high-road that, girt with
narrow 'prairies and charming oak
openings, stretches from the shores
of Lake Michigan farther west.
Winter had passed, and the wild
Spring Winds had swept across the
prairies after tide of fantastic
bloom. I in the town the Igardens
were at; their brightest. - Along the—
white-fenaed streets the
cottages were embowered in flower
ing vines: The air was fragrant
with the delicious of break' roses
'find honeysuckles, and more i than ev
er fragrant at the hour of the morn
ing, when the owners were' for the
most_part fast asleep, and the flow
' eies - themseltes were heavy with dew.
At that hour -a laboring man,
whose Clanking boots had sounded
harshly along the pavement in a
long approach, paused at the door Of.
lodging-house; built apart from the
gardened cottages, and.asked a slip
shod girl who was cleaning its door
step, " Does Miss Arnold, the school
ma'am, live in here ? "
" Shq lives here," answered the
maid, 'but you can 't see her afore
breakfast at this hathen hour."
" I must see her," the man
said, planting himself. upon the step ;
it 's bizness.'
"An' I'm either tellin' ye, bizness
or no bizness—but sure here 's the
teacher] herself."
"Is it for me ? " asked is sweet
voice; and into the doorway from a
room ,adjoining the passage came a
young , creature in white morning
`robe and golden carls—Elsie Arnold.
"Ilave Von a mes Sage for me?" she
ask \ eot.
Dorim to see, miss, if yel've any
thing direc' from the squeer."
"No 'news," said the wife, sadly e .
"No. I hoped, indeed, you had
some word for me. I am expecting,
tidings every hour. The list were
from The Pinery,' five weeks ago,
!when the rafts were ready to go
dowh :the river. They should have
been long before this at St. Louis."
" WaJ'all," said the man, " I've

The usual drawl in which this sen
tence Was uttered broke at 'the
last
prolonged syllable into something
like a whistle of dismay, for Elsie
had fallen senseless to, the floor.
"Ye 're killed her entirely," criect
the maid; and " What:aye you done

It was long before Elsie'recovered
from her death-like swoon, and then
only to lie silently with closed eyes,
while People of the house watched in
turn by her , bed. Two days had
passedlthus, when late in'the-,after
noon the doctor's wife entered, and
something in the tone of her voice
aroused Elsie. She looked up with
a faintl, smile.
" Are you strong ,enough," were
die words that greeted her, " to hear
good news? " I -
"If there can be good news," mtir-

The' doctor's wife was cautions lin

She proceeded to deliver Messages
from achool-girls, and to strew the
counterpane of Elsie's bed with the
bougets her little scholars had sent.
By-and-by, however, a package I of
lettere was produced, and 'at lash a

as they May , last, are brief. 'Fred
bad whispered to his wife, " Weimust
never •be parted again," and Elsie
had said in her tremulous delight,
"Life has come back." And. then
she lifted her head froM her hus
band's shoulder to take one look at
his loved face. And then-
There wmw--never to be recalled,
never to be forgotten—a start of hog
ior, a cry of pain. .
Elsie crept back info her husband's
arms, cold as an icicle, shivering like
a frost-bitten leaf.
" Speak to me, dear Fred,. that I
may know it is you; speak to me.
Let me hear your voice: l !
A sealed letter lay upon Elsie's
toilet-table the third day after her
husband's return. She found, it
when, drearily languid from the re
action of an intense excitement, she
had arisen too , late to be punctual a
school, too indifferent to care 'for tho
fault._ It was as follows :
‘2.EunE- 7 -I shall have left F— for
St. Lonis'before you awake and nod
these lines. I shall walk to
and, taking the cars there, journey
rapidly, so that by Monday I may
be in my place at the lair office of—,
"That I had planned differently;
I need'not tell , ' you. And-now one
word in justification far all the pain
I have occasione& I did not realize
how much I had changed. My pre
occupied thoughts kept me from
knowing thae my eyes were still . red
dened beyond recognition, and my
face so rough and-sunburned as to
. nitask me,to my wife. No friend had
mercy enough to tell me.
"Not until I saw your gaze of hor
ror, and felt, in spite of all your ef
forts to conceal your detestation,
that I was no longer lovable in your
eyes, did I become aware of the hid
eous fact.
"I.should have left the house that
night but for the ear of aroneing
unhappy, remark. By remaining here
these three days, I think I. have pre
vented the slightest suspicion of the
truth.
"I have said to people interested
that you felt iu honor bound to con
tinue teaching until the end of the
term. You will knot I did. not in
tend it to be so. I meant to stay until
a substitute could be found; and then
take you With .me.
"Bat now do riot come , to me, El
sie, until I- send for you. Do , not
write. Send me every othei day a
blank page by mail, the semblance
of a letter. I will send you the same,
so that no heartless eyes or, busy
tongues may Meddle, with our—"
Hero a word was erased, but Elsie
deciphered it "misery." "Affair" had
been substituted.
"Remember, if you are tempted to
write, I shall not, read a word ,so
written, and I make this resolve in
good faith, and for your protection
as for mine."
No name was signed.
How wouLl it have Veen possible
for -Fred to write "your husband,"
after a cold, hard, repellant address
like this? But for the erased word,
Elsie would:have torn it into frag
ments and scattered it to the winds.
For the sake of "our misery" she
kept tile scrawl; kept it through all
the miserable weeks that followed;
wheri every semblance of a letter,
"following close and following fast
er," more clearly defined those
wretched words.
The journey required twenty milei
by carriage to the railwayrstation at
" Fred has given special direc
tions," said Elsie, upon whose cheeks
burned in two hectic coals the fever
of excitement, " that I should stay at
R---- over night, and be rested for
to-morrow's journey. He is to meet
me at the train that reaches St. Lou
is at evening.
So far as R. she was attended by
friends, and early the nextmorning,
amidst a throng of affectionate
adieux, started onward alone. She
saw no face in the car that she knew.
Without, the landscape, dulled by
clouds that ere .long descended in
drizzling rain, had no interest. The
old lady with a hundred bundles,
that came in at thenext station and
pounced upon the unengaged seat by
Elsie's side, and Asked as many
questions as she had' hundles suc
cumbed to monosyllables. And Elsie
gave herself to reverie.
She began by taking a look at the
miniature which she, forever wore,
and by giving 'a mental thrust at the
bcle noire, which a contrast, born of
association of ideas, had 'attached to
this miniature of Fred, a thrust of
deaOly envy at the miracle -Deiide
mono, who saw , her lover's "visage in
his mind," she passed to thorny "ifs"
- of her young life. If we had never
been separated, the change would
have been gradnal, and have given
me no'shock! If I had only made
him know that night it was not him,
but that which was not him, that
forced me in such terror•to cry out
If I could by dying for' it take back
?that cry ! Ab, Fate's acoustics are
so hard, no cries are ever taken back.
If I could but knew whether, to hire,
lookin deeperlhan I looked, there
was n in my,.eartkliness of vision,
something, which masked my Bond
from his love more • effectually
_than
the"marring of his dear face -masked
him from me ! If I could but gather
from out the air, as now I rush to
him, one word to say, " You are for
given! If—" and so on, and so on.
,Day declined, the rain ceased; the
setting sun sent a glistening sheen
aerosa the meadow pools;•the cleared
atmosphere transmitted upon the in
finitesimal sparkles a sense • of hope ;
fulness and peace. Elsie's reverie
glided into sleep:
She was awakened by what seemed
to her a piercing shriek.
Darting a glen& along the car, she
saw' two, children who, entering a
few stations back" in gala dress, had
caught her notice; saw ono of these,
the girl decked in tinsel and-tarlatan,
wringing her hands with grief; the
other, the boy, lifted in men's arms,
wounded, and bleeding at the mouth.
She looked out from the car window,
and saw two men, savagely hurt,
staggering beside a ditch, and near
them' a sight too dreadful for the
'light. She hoard the piercing shriek
that had died away, return, shatter
ed into innumerable MOB= A end.

and the soldie and people whop i'e;

"This note is legal-tender at its '

declare the semi) thing, and there is '
no' disagreement in their testimony.
They were "prin Led strictly in aceord-

no more be rd'p aled than, that lean.
