"No, 1 don't want her to see mo. She mightn't like it," said Mrs. Knowle. v "Why not??when yonr husband is a partner in John Bowerbank'H lirro, nnd they bare always been such friends? I'm sure I fully expected yon would have been aBked to the* wedding!" "So I was, hut I declined to go. I couldn't somehow. I was certain it would ho very bad for her, poor thing,!" added Airs.

Bnt her little mystery, whatever it was. escaped Mrs. Smiles' penetration, for jn*t then (hat lady's whole attention waa engrossed by the primary object of this sight, gazed at by all assembled in church with the fervid eagerness of women over weddings?the bride. John Bowerbank's wife-or to bo made such in fifteen minutes--was a little lady, fragile and while, whom yon could hardly distingn'sh clearly under her mass of snowy silk, her clouds of lnce, and her tremulous wreaths of orange-blossoms. "Rhe is shaking a good deal, poor lamb?" said Mrs. Knowle, half in soliloquy. "And how liohtlv she liohls her fnther'ii arm!" "Mr. Kendnl has boon a good father. peo?le say; though ho won't stand thwarting? a always will have his own war. Perhaps she vraa sorry to leavo him, being tho oulv child." "Ham!" again soliloquized Mrs. Knowle, "Hash! the service is beginning." It was rood begun soon ended- -the nob wnn words which made Emily Kendal John Tloworbniik's wite. She rose up from her knees, and he roso up, too- that grave, Ear-hairod, commonplace, and yet not ill OKing bridegroom--thirty years at least her senior.

"And was sho in love, or engaged? Do hll ine. V.'Lo was it? Anybody I know?" said Mis. Smiles, eagerly. Mrs. Knowlo wished herself at tho bottom of the sea beforo sho had let licr feelings carry her away into making such a riuel mistake, such a fatal ndtnasion; hut' still tho only safe way lo remedy it was to tell the whole Iru li. and then trust to h r friend a sense of honor. After all, it was not a vi ty terrible truth. As she' had we'd said, the thing linppeos doz.ns of times to dozens of girls.

"And what did yon dor" "What could 1 do shut tho stible-dnor when the steed was stolen? Why, my dear woman, I told you the poor Ih'n'.'S loved one another."

"How could I prevent it?"exclaimed Mrs. Knowle, pathetically, as if tho troubles her warm nonrt nail undergone at I hoi Mmo were bitter even in remembrance.
