and forward and asked herself what she
should.do. What, indeed. Fifteen years
had she been married, and all this while
she had been so happy. And now troub
le worse than death had come. There waa
no explaining this way. Her husband
had' no sister, no mothers, no female
friend or relative who could write such a
thing.
The note could not have come from
Captain Crawford, even had he ever writ
ten notes to his sun. Ills way was to
telegraph when he wanted him.
No, there was no explanation but this
dreadful one—lie had been making love
to some one. Perhaps he even had two
wives. When men begin to be bad no
one could tell where they
. would stop—
Nothing could alter the fact that herhap
piness was over forever.

Still he was in a hurry to take her
away. He promised to return for all pos. 1

oh, the wretched journey ; and oh, the
woeful night that settled down upon the
farm house its she stepped across its
threshold.
Her mother took herin her arms at the
door; that was something; but after all
she could not forget her long, long wife

when her mother had brought her a cup

The same cpieer look that she had seen
in all their faces startled Emma. Crawford
again ; but it passed from her mind us
she took up the thick letter that had been
laid upon her pillosv, and, breaking tine
seal found witlnn two small pink
notes.—one numbered Gone," the other
"two," in blackflead pencil ; and another
in her linslian4 band writing.
"MY DiAlt it/ISIA," it begun : "I think
