She flushed faintly, as if reading an implied reproach In his qulet words, and sald, almost defiantly: “But I fail as a wife [Is that what you meant, Mordaunt?” “Your perfect fulfillment of one duty, dear, need surely cast no blame upon the other,” sald her husband, meeting her deflant look with steadfast tenderness “Yet you are not satisfied with me?” “] admire her daughter,” be said, with a shade of bitterness, “but | long for my wife” : “She is my mother!” she Interrupt «4, haughtily, then almost in a whis per added: “And you knew. | made no pretense” Again the invalid's voice was heard: “Felicity! Where are youn?” {z an instant she was gone, and her husband, with a smothered sigh, went into the garden “God grant it was not a hopeless mistake'” be murmured, as he stood eying with dissatisfaction a small rose bush near the porch “I did it with full knowledge of her Indifference I knew, as she said just now. She was perfectly frank, as she always is. Her mother was her one thought; her com- fort the one object of Felicily's exist epce And I tempted her with the luxuries and alleviations my wealth would procure for that beloved parent till she consented to myrry me. That's just about how the matter stood a year ago—and now? We are as much strangers as we were then, She or ders my house and servants, plays an enchanting hostess to my guests, is a devoted nurse as well as qaughter to her mother (who is fading away not withstanding all her care, and In spite #f her sacrifice) and neglects not ope jota of her dutles, save that trouble some and superfluous belng—her hus band.” He laughed half scornfully as he carefullyremoved some green fly from the sickly rose bush and examined its leafless branches. Getting up from his close inspection of the plant, he brought a can of water and gave it to the almost lifeless looking rosebush “ ‘Never say die’ must be my motto,” be mused. “What do you find »o absorbing in that dead rose tree, Mordaunt?” His wife's politely frigid tones sud denly startled bim from bis soliloquiz: ing “It's not dead yet, dear.” Then after 8 moment's pause “Do you know what rose it 18?” “Not in the least Tell me?” “] planted it soon after we were engaged,” he sald, slowly “I hoped it would have taken root here and flour shed. 1 pictured it a wealth of fra grant flowers showering thelr sweet ness upon me In answer to my love and care. Look at it!

But thea she had never wanted him to kiss her! She would, in fact, have been seriously against such a proceeding had he suggested it. Perbaps its suddenness had robbed ft of its unpleasantness for she could not honestly say that she had dis Hked It But there was more than that It had altered her altitude towards Mcrgaune She found it harder than she tould have believed possible 0 keep up the cool friendliness and in different politeness which had hither to marked her intercourse with him She could no longer meet his eyes ered in spite of her and her cheeks grew rosy. It was most vexatious! And sometimes—but this thought she was ashamed to meet even in the strictest privacy—she had an insane wish that he would do It again! Clearly a kiss was a very dangerous thing to trifie with. It had affected Mordaunt, too, she was sure His face was not BOW really half so sad as she had thought ft that day, and there was a little demon of mischief in his eyes, whose smile was so dreadfully infectious that she was afrald of meeting it for fear of disgracing herself forever, by join- ing In. Now life felt fuller and grander, and pature seemed to encourage her to rejoice and be merry, with its ten- der green leaflets and spring flowers. She paid surreptitious visits to the rosebush: she watered It regularly; she turned faint with anxiety over the mystery of that tiny swelling. Would it turn out indeed to be a bud, or was it the last flicker of life and would the tree die? She had a super stitious feeling that her whole future bappiness depended on that swelling's ultimate development One day when Felicity was presiding at the breakfast table, a picture of dainty freshmess and cool composure, her husband remarked that the rose bush he had been so anxious about— did sbe remember?—the one just out side the porch—had unfolded (wo leaves, and he feit confident that It would mow do well. And there is no shadow of doubt that he appreciated to the full every shade of feeling that chased across his wife's tell-tale face as he spoke, the sudden alarm, the over- whelming relief, the hot shame at that relief: none were lost or misunderstood, and when he quietly and confidently laid Bis hand over hers as it lay on the table NEVER SAY DIE It was not till an appreciable interval of time bad elapsed that she withdrew it gently and asked him whether he would take a second cup And after breakfast was over he wickedly retiied to a [favorite posi tion of his In the garden, from which he distinctly saw Felicity go down on her knees beside the rosebush, and after patting the earth remove every sign of blight or other marauder from the two pale green leaves it pow boasted It was a glorious September that year | merely mention this In passing, be cause it really would not have mat tered to them, I believe, if the weather bad been absent altogether Her mother had passed away early {n June, and soon afler they went abroad.
