He took her haml, and looked at her;
No sound did Hint doep stillness stir :
Even thj weary, wandering ruin
Had ceased to bent upon the pane ;
Only about the perfect mouth
A sigh, more faint than the faint south,
Hovered a moment's space, nnd tbon
Died into nothingness nguin.

wife, and to feel there might butt possi

To those who hujro studded tbe face

In Daisy's fuce there was that which
did not coincide with the first received
idea of fragility and softness. The small
Iiimly closed mouth, drooping eyelids,
the decided, contralto voice, and white,
Inn: hands, showed plainly that she
would And a way .to assert and maintain
her dignity.
Frank's friend departed with the
peculiar feeling of satisfaction wo always
? have when wo know our friends are go
ing to meet with just retribution for
sins past and fat tire, especially when wo
have always felt they needed just Buch
Icbsoub to perfect their characters.
For a lew months matters wcut on
well. Horton made a model husbiud,
whilo 11.e uovclty lasted, but bef >re tlio
sensuu whs over, bis old habits bogau to
assert themselves,
All this time he bad never undertaken
to uir hid flirting propensities till one
day a brilliant widow from New Orlcms
appeared in society Frank gut himself
introduced at Mrs. Starr's grand party
and she vrus soon spitmiug around iu bis
arms to the music the bail was making,
enough tu make one dizzy to see.
Frank leaned over the window nod
talked and she listened to his pr . tty
speeches and looked into his faee with
her dusky eyes, till sho fairly turned
hip head. Daisy took it very quietly,
talking pleasantly to every one, but nev
er losing sight of the pair the whole
evening. When they went home, Frank
expected a lecture and was prepared to
be as firm as a rock, iu defense of hi?
rights; but to his surprise, Daisy ueiilicr
pouted, nor FColt)ud| but chatted pleas
antly on all the events of thu evening,
including the pretty widow, whose name
vile neither avoided no forced into no
tice.
Frank ndvaneed rapidly in the good
graces of the widow ami they nluogod
into a flirtation which tu.ide the boldest
tremble fur Daisy, who, if she cared.
never showed it iu her manner, til) ;jt
length the widow began to think Iicf
mere child, but she was soun to feel
that she had been phiyjng with cd^c
tools, for whojVtdic hud begun as u flirta
tion hud become rurtl to lur?shu was
r.. mi iv Wetrarstcv m x nun. srvtll
sho intended.
W.tiu they were f-ti:ig b-it woe l
daU008, at ?>ne of the parties, I V ink
nsked her if she would be at Mrs.
()>l.iirne's reception, thu next week.
'1 rather think no*, though I may
change my mind,' seid she.
?1 will call and see to morrow, an l if
\mi do it it go, I will nut,' said Frank.
'Oh, n'i ; I am engaged t>? morrow t<>
go sight-seeing with s one relitiyes, n/h ?
will ulisorb the whole day ; but if 1 g"
1 will send you a bouquet of tea roses.'
Nejt day Tom, the colored waitsr,
was allowed a h liday, and when the
roses game, Daisy herself receive 1 th<vu.
Frank was absent and she did not tell
him. That evening ho asked his chum (
to escort Da lay to the reception, as he
wanted to go Ul a meeting uf some socie
ty to which he belonged, (roilly to call
upon the widow).
Daisy was- dressed charmingly, and
never looked like a dove than n >w when
she contemplated such a venom >tts sting
to the widow. Her gl"s.-y hair contain
ed only one decor.ition, a beautiful ten
rns>-, another tit her throat, au 1 a cluster j
ut her belt, completed l?er adornments j
?at which the wi low stared in blink
nmnr.eiucnt and ra^e while Daisy greeted
her more cordially ii...n usual.
'*Ff.iiik said your beautiful rose
were too bwcel to be Wasted uo a married
man like himself, mid as he preferred a
stupid evening at his club, he insisted I
should wear au 1 th ink you tor t [t -tu. as
my share of the pleasure you hive; con
ferred upon us your preference ,'
Daisy said this iu her sweet, chl lidl
way, in a low voice, but it w is hotrd
distinctly by the whole group, who stood
apart to sec the effect of Daisy's polite
words on the widow. Her blick rye?
biased wkh lory, an 1 ?he tried tj stum
nur out a sentence, but givi' up in dss*
pair. Daisy smile I sweetly oil the
people aboil' her, and pissed <m. siietii
ingly unconscious of tho st?rte she hid
raised in thu widow's breast.
Thu widow avoided Krank ever after
wards, and would allow no explanation
and soon departed for other scones. '
Frank found a panacea for hit
wounded bride in renewing hiaae.iuain
i a hoc with nu old flimc, Miss Mabel
?iliflbrd, who had just returned from,
Europe. This time lie threw himself
into the nfi'uir with a perfect rueklcss.iCs
ot consequences- Everybody W?udored

wcut so fur as t> sen 1 Miss <!litf?rl u
proposal to ulop ?; Daisy managed to
intercept the letter, in the hands of tho
unsuspecting Tom and answered it as
from Mabel, agreeing to .the elopomcnt,
and naming no early day for the start.
This was more than Ftank bad anticipa
ted, and he would faif have druw.u back
but this Mabel prevented by taunting
him with a four of his wife till sho bad
worked him into one of those f^ronsles,
in which a man docs not stop to th|ak
at all.
Iri the meantime, she urged the nec
essity of contion and chargod him ito
communicate with bor only by let
ter.
Tt was settled they should tn?ot lat
the depot and take a train for Chicago;
she would he closely veiled but would
find moans to make herself known.
Frank told Daisy that ho was compelled,
to make a trip west, at which Dai. ,
showed a sufficient decree of regret, but
submitted like au augcl, without 'a
murmur. She oiado ready his clothes,
asked tin prying questions ns tohis route.
Frank bought tickets for Chicago. At
tho depot a veiled lady silently look his
arm. Ho escorted her uboard tho cars,
seated himself beside her. By mute
gcsturo she made him tuH ai < t and that
there were people near she foared would

Frank eujoyed the little trip they
concluded to take WeBt, much more
than he did his honeymoon. People
wondered a little but ceased when they
could find out nothing as Frank settled
down after their return and made a
model husband while Daisy, fragile and
delicate as ever, more gentle and ?flec
tionatc, governed him completely where
ho was to have been absolute monarch.
He looked bo happy aud satisfied in be
ing thus governed that it took away
half the malicious pleasure his friend
expected to feel wheu he paid bin a
sccmid visit, last autumn, and witnessed
Franks meekly pushing a perambulator
along the garden walk which contained
his youngest baby, ths ownership of the
?aid baby being an honor to which his
most brilliant conquest in his flirting
days was as nothing in comparison.
An Awkward Predicament.

At last 1 came out and p i* "ii i shir:
? well, an undcr-garmcnt, leaving the
reel of my clothing in the b'iat, and
went back in the shade to hav a smoke.
Dan Btaycd behind for a moment, and
then came up and joined me.
The day was delightful, and I had
forgotten all ab .ut the b >at, when I was
ron.-ed by a wild shout from D.in, and
jutnpiug up, with my drapery floating
out gracefully in the summer breeze, I
followed the direction of his pointing
finger, and saw our boat, two or three
hundred yards from the shore, floating
away In-fore the breeze, um} ? dt, horror
of horrors !?my clothing v.u ju it,
?Hold on!' 1 oried. 'I'll swim out
and get it.'
'I wonldu'f. do that, Dach,' said Dan.
There is a boat coming up, and, unless
1 inn very much mistaken, there are
I?dies iu it. Yuu are not exactly in bill
costume, und, if 1 were )ou, I'd .-Hay ou
shore.'
'^ing out to them, then, ami fell them
to br?ng back that eu.-sed b'>at. I never
went anywhere with you yet but I got
into trouble, Dau!'
'"faint my fault it the boat floats
away, is it V leared Dau, lull ufiudigna
lion. 'You'd better charge out ou the
bay, and sing out yourself j you'd loo*
well doing it.'
The boat was now rapidly approach
ing the island, and Dan intimated thai
I had better climb a tree, because the
boat contained a couple of lady friends
I s iw the danger, and went up a tree
like a squirrel, perching myself utQoeg
the branches, und Dau Went down and
yoiled to them to bring the boat. One
of the beys got hold of the painter, an I
towed her back to the beach, looking
suspiciously at the clothing -?hieb lay
upon the thwarts.
My horror knew no hounds when I
recognized in one of the ladies Julia
Dean, my pie.-cnt inamorata, aud a cold
perspiration started from every pore as
1 realized my situation.
Dan welcomed thom gleefully, atjd, to
my horror and dismay, after the ladies
hud stopped out of the bout, .he boys
lifted out a large hamper, drew the
boats high and dry on tho beach, nnd
aud showed every iutcntiou of camping
out.
Did I fell mean? 'No, gentleineo. I
reckon not?I s'pose not??I ouloulatc
not.' For a chew of tobaooo l wodld
have sold out uiy chauccs for a quiet
life forever, when this became known.
Uufortuualely fur me, the award un
der my tree was green and smooth, aud
the girls picked it out at once for their
picnic, and the hamper was unpacked,
and the merry party, inviting that
villainous Pun to partake, sat down un
der my pereh, and began to enjoy them
selves.
Of course, it was pleasant fur me to
hear them laughing, and to see the cold
ham, chickens, jellies and 'sich' dis
appearing like magic ! And then Dan
could not let mo atone. He persisted
iu recalling my name to their recollec
tion, and iu telling all sorts of insulting
stories about me, enough to drive a raau
crazy. And there I was, utterly unahl6
to hit back, breathing out thrcatcoings
and slaughter, below my breath, for I
? hired not cqr?e aloud.
How fervently 1 prayed that some
evil might fall upon him ! How I
agonized with the hope that he would
get a chicken bone in his throat, or have
a spasm of some kind 5 And at last,
when a bottle of champagne was opened,
aud the d Sjtnrdly wrctoh arose, with a
full gl. ss in his hand, to pr< p >so a toast,
1 knew wh.it was coming.

They drank my health with all the
honors. I don't know that I ever appro^
elated au honor so little in my lifo. I am
j tint very rich?not too r'.ch, you know?
worldly dross to have boen transported^
' to the other side of the bay.
When tho picnic was over, the biso
?vr tch managed to ke. p them under
that tree for more than an hour, while 1
sat shivering on a branch between eirth
md sky. Not to pit I to Quo a point
up n the matter, my inward profanity
iUS intense.
At last the rar*J rose and strolled
iw?y among the trees, aid I e.nuc down
with a rush, and mad,' u dive for my
clothing, and just got i ito my nether
garments, when I heard thorn coming
back. I grabbed our ho it, shoved her
uff, and wheu the party came back they
had a vision of a frantic individual,
bareheaded and in light attire, pulling
as if for a prize, and a roar of laughter
from the men, and silvery eaaliinuitiins
from life girls, t'.ld mo that I was re-,
cognized. It was a put up job of Din's !
1 have not seen Dan since, and I hare
ceased to call at Mr. Dean's. Under
the circumstances, I prefer nit to meet
?Julia j but when I do find Dan, blood
will bo shed !

laid out, the choicest aud by no means,
a small pieco of ground has up to ab?

received $907*000. He holds six shares

presidency of which he resigned, bathe
owns about ?000,000 worth of its
