turned nonchalantly towards the window aad bent overardiwerof white

Mr. Ronayne sauntered into the

BMt crossed bis face ae he shumed

them about like a peek of earde, and be tittered aa impatient exclamation.

What M the matter, dear?" said his

wife, sweetly. Has any thing gone

wrong?"

A letter which I expected an t

la a tone of vexation.

Perhaps it will eome by the aext

-Oh U that all?" answered Mrs. Ro

nayne. with one of her qukdc suspieious giances. She had passed the afternoon hut up there in her room alone, and bad worked herself into a perfect fever of doubt aad surmise, and finally of jealousy, for jealousy was charming Mrs. Konayne's besetting weakness. It Is no doubt very flattering to a man's vanity that hkt wife should think so hia-hly of his personal attractions that

nh is ia constant dread leal some other woman ahould fall a victim to them. But, on the other hand, it is a dreadful nuisance when one can't address half-

a-dozen wordH to a iretty girl, or remark that Mrs. So-and-So is a very agreeable woman, without enduring a atriKequent peine forte ef dure of reproaches and sneers and tears. Mrs. Ronayne pored peweveringly over that, to ber, nonsensical and unintelligible letter, and at length arrived at the conclusion that it was a oryptogramie love-letter. The handwriting was undoubtedly feminine, aad I whv. areued Mrs. Ronayne, should a

woman write a letter in cipher to her busband unless she desired to hide something disgraceful. Mm Unnavne made up her mind to

solve that wicked cryptogram or perish in the attempt. She resolved also to watch her husband carefully during the next few days. Now, Julia Ronayne, though quite clever enough to hold her own in the conventional small-talky conversation usual in her set, had never guessed a conundrum or solved aa acrostic in her life. To puaale out a cryptogram of the simplest nature was quite beyond her power. Baffled and angry, she was at mat compelled to owa herself nonplussed by the ingenuity of the woman who had writtoe that horrid letter. She, however.

resolved to carry out the other part of kr ntaa ttt aaraiaie"n namely, to

watch her husband.
