CONCLUDED. He rcinen-.bcroJ how often she had taken out her pencil and counted up there savings in a triumphant sum, drawing a little frame-work of vines about it, and presenting it to him with her joyous little chuckle. She- Fcarec'.y glanced at tho money now. But ho would try her further. " I can not use it for tho mortgage. Stoueh rcfusc3 to pay back salary." "Then the mortgage will be forech)3cl to-morrow? And you lose you.? home?" She came suddenly close to him, her face colorless, her dark eves wet and lull of pity. Not love, lie was not deceived. Not love. No wonder she had some little compassion for tho man on whose bosom she had lain for years, on this night when she meant to fly from him. "Poor old Sam." "Tho loss of the house matters little to us now." "Why, I thought your heart was bound up in it?"Sho paused suddenly, a keen suspicion flashing into her face. "What else havo you lost?" For a moment there was silence, the husband and wife lokcd steadily at each other, tho oil lamp burning with uncertain yellow flashes between them. " 1 do cot know," he said at last, in as quiet a tone as though replying to an ordinary question, " what there is left to me. There is nothiDg on (Jod's earth that I can call my own." She aid not answer by a word; but stood motionless, with the same penetrating, doubtful look fixed on him. Now Mary was not naturally a reticent woman; all her emotions bubbled straight to the surface. Sho had been a gay, giddy girl ; and now, when she was a mother, she kept the house alive with what her husband censured as most unmatronly light-hearted-ness; sinicg, jesting, laughing most of the time, and washing away any trouble in a shower of tears. ller immobility now proved how deep his thrust had wounded her. " You've nobody in the world! Nobody ! Not even me !"' Bhe said, slowlv. at last.

She turned to the window, putting

her hand, lor support, on an old chair that stood there. It was a worn and shabby chair; but she had nursed both the children in it Jackey and

little Jenny Jenoy who was dead,

who would never lio on her breast

again. Did she remcmberr oho looked at it, and then at him for a moment; and then, without a word, turned away and let t the room. lie kn- t that she would never enter it s.;ain. It was strange how many of these intuitions, amounting to certa ities, camo to him to-night. He thoucht that pain in this great crisis of his life, had given him a spiritual clearness of insight. Another person might havo suggested that tho devil helped him. It was only 7 o'clock; there were two hours yet to pass before the end. lie sat by the fire, pushing the poker between tho bars, looking around him. There wa3 nothing in the cheaply furnished, pretty chamber that had not to-night a terrible meaning for him. lie remembered when ho had

brought that very chair home, two

or three weeks alter Jack was born; and lifting Mary out of bed, had placed her in it, and laid her baby in her arms. That was only six years ago ; yet he

thought of himselt as but a boy

sudden, passionate tenderness, as

though it had been the boy lumselt,

"Jackey! Jackey!" he cried, -tomorrow the child would be alone without father or mother. It might have been different. But it was too late now. Ho went down the stairs, and entered a small unlightcd room adjoining tho parlor. In another moment there was a roll of wheels on tho street, a carnage stopped at tho door, and there was a low ring at the bell. "They carry tho matter boldly, he muttered. Whatever agony of mind tho old love that would not bo stifled had cost him to-night was over now; an implacable madness seized him the fury with which the hound pant3 before it falls upon its prey. They were in his power. lis crept nearer to the door; held it ajar, his hand upon the lock. He heard Crompton cater, and the next moment the soft rustle of Mary's dress. He could not distinguish her words, but the toae3 of her voice made him shudder. Not for years had they thrilled with such nervous, trembling joy as now. She laughed once a low, hysterical laugh, not far from tears. Crompton spoke in a whisper. Once she raised her voice a little. . ,

"You do not know what to-day is to me! 1 havo waited for it for years!" Bender raised his hand; his finger waB on tho trigger. He pushed the door, but before it opened, Mary left tho parlor, going lightly up the stairs. She had apparently forgotten something for her flight. He stood waiting; her steps 60unded

above him. When she should reopen would be his time. She wa3 on the 6tairs. One moment more then she broko into the n 1 111

verse ot an old song; an oia siny

habit of her's was to sing when her heart was full:

Bae true his heart, t-ae smooth his speechf

ills bream line caner air, His very foot has inuBlc ln't As It comes up trie stairs. For there's nae lack about the house. There's nae luck at a'.

When my gadentan's awa. It was his song. lie had liked it best in their old courting days; ho had made her sing tho children to sleep with it always. The pistol dropped from his hand. "She is true. My God! she is true!" He Btood there, for how long he never knew. He heard tho low mur

mur of their voices. The devil, bo

sure, did not leave him altogether.

He fancied her hand in Crompton's ; their lips meeting. But tho weapon

lay untouched at his feet.

Wby should ho not at least open the door? He had a right to their secret, whether guilty or not. The

man trembled; great drops of sweat

wrung out on his forehead.

bhe is my wife, bbe is a true wo-rv-i i . r

man. inoucn sne Kin me. vet l will

trust in her." Yet there was uothing

to fight back tho devil ot suspicion

but that cheery old song.

The hall door opened and shut at

last. There were hnrried voices out

side, and then the carriage rolled

away, was sna goner

He thrust the pistol into his btcast

and opened the door. Mary stood there, her faco flushed, tears in her eyes, folding up a strip of piper. When she saw him she sprang forward

and hugged him close.

It was all my drawmg, you know,

the hand. I have boon waiting for it a long time." Sam took the hand and shook it heartily. " Mrs. Bender, this is Miss Stouch, who hopes sho will not bear that name a month longer." Tho fair, calm-looking beauty took Mary's hand, and then kissed her, after the manner of women. " I've heard all about the mortgatrn and the secret," she whispered. " Wasn't it delicious? But I havo a message for

your husband. Papa bade me say to you, Mr. Bender," turning, with a

business-like look to bam, that he has been ill for several weeks that horrid rheumatism it is; and has had to leave tho business almost entirely

in the hands of Mr. Morris, who will

make mistakes sometimes. He is

so sorry that there is one in yours, and that your rightful salary was detained, lie begged me to hand you this letter."

" The salary ia not due, said bam.

stifly. "Mr. Morri3 will tell you

that."

"Mr. Morris ha3 no authority to

speak for us," the young lady said haughtily. "It is not the custom of

our nouse to make deductions in caso of sickness." " It is the best policy," said Mary,

quietly. "A house loses nothing by

generous dealing. At least, not with men like my husband." Bender stood hesitating. "How did your father know?" "Oh! it was that little creature Joe Houston, who told mo. Where in tho world is tho man? IJe came with, us so ridiculous, Mr. Bender! But tho best fellow ia tho world! The tears were actually in his eyes when he told me how unjustly your husband had been treated. Oh! here he is 1" "Here I am!" Joe came in with a skip and a flourish. "Here we all are.Sam! God bless you, boy ! Just like a scene in a play! It's a jolly good world after all now, isntit! What devil of humor you were in with it to-day, though, to be sure! You look as if you were oured now" in an undertone, where Bender stood apart with his wife. "Are you cured?" she said, softly touching him. "By an old song," he said. "Some time I will tell you all, Mary. But let me hear your songs and your laugh every day. You do not know from what they have saved me." He stood looking at them talking together, a smile on his lips, but his eyes dim as a man's seldom are in this world; thinking of the song, and of how many messengers He had in this world, and how none of them ever failed in its errand.

lla had learned since to seo things

differently. Whcu he set his heart

on paying off that mortgage, it seemed

suddenly to open his eyes to tne serr onsncsa of life. It affected his relig

ion. lie began to seo faults in the old friends who wero in tho habit of drop

ping in cvo:y day, finding Mary's

honsfi ro nlca.ant: ho began to tear

that his own and his wife's spiritual character would suffer from contact with them: ono bv one ho had driven

thum off. As ho stinted and saved

more and moro to gather this money.

his ideas of duty hardened. He had

crown old and crave, while Mary re

mained the samo happy tempered

Tn-nieht. for the first .time, a dull

doubt camo to him, whether he had cot been to blame; her perpetual good humor, her eager interest in peo

ple about her, singing, her noisy

romns with Jack, all had seemed

piddv and trivial to him: ho had to

buked her incessantly for them. " It

was a solemn thing to live: who could co dancing over graves?" had becomo

a nroverb with him. Could he havo

driven her from him? Driven her to

a man whoso temperament suited her

own?

He was standing before a looking

glass, and he could not help comparing his own common-placo, gloomy face, with its stubbed black beard, to the pav. winnine countenance that had

won her from him.

He put his hand up to hido the face from himself. "I loved her," he said quietly; thinking that it' sho had known how

much. Bhe would havo forgiven him

He sat down again. Searching again

for miserable secrets in tho fire, he had become a wiser man sinco ho had

been ill. Sitting staring, day after

day into the embers, ho had learned

how utterly hollow tne world was, how treacherous wero men, acd faith

less were women. Nothing was true but God: and as Qod to Sam. Bender

meant hi3 own narrow notions of

duty, thero was nothing to lift him

out of tho slough in the thought;

there was nothing in it cither, to

check him in the slow, subtle mad

nes3 that nerved him to his present

purpose.

What maudening fancies thosa two

hours brought to that unhappy man,

it is needless ior us to know

Tho house remained very quiet.

When Jackey a bedtime camo he

h.ard his mother bring him the child

to the door, and opened it tor him to enter. He would not look at the little fellow in his white night-gown, who stood pulling at his coat. Besido him, on tho mantleshelf, lay the pisol, ready for use. He could not touch or look at the child, but motioned him away, turning his back to him.

"F.iirht o'clock came. lie heard hi3

wife come again to tho door, softly

listening. Ho remained quito still. She should think him asleep. ' By nine o'clock ali will bo safe," was part of her plan. The clock in the hall rang out halfhast eignt.

" Though Jackey understands a great many thiDgs that would surprise you. He's a very wise child. Who can that bo, so late?

"I asked leave, Mrs. Bender, you remember ODce, to make known my promised wife to you. I have brought her tonight. She has an errand to yourhusband, which, she fancies, will net

was sweet and friendly; he had 6een it before, in some pleasant time which he could not remember. But there was no woman who would not look

dark and dim beside Mary. Whero had she hidden that tender, flowing beauty all these years? The very familiar room had a look which it used to wear when the first glamor of their married life made every thing about tleia, v";r-?.z aud bright. Ws.3 that r,!d time cominj? aeain?
