It k s story of blighted ley# which on the part of the broken hearted clergy man at least, closely parallels that other story of love and saorlfloe in which John Ruskln, discovering that bk young and beautiful wife lov)d and was beloved of Sir John Millais, out of the ooblenes of bk nature freely gave bar up to hk bowtn friend Tne R v. William J.

Unlike Baskin, however, he still yearned for her affection, and by all the artifioss^lof t e ardent wooer, sc ught to awaken in hk wife the af fection which she had avowed belong cd to another. To thk extent he sue needed, that the wife once more re turned to hk home, and on her part •ought to kindle tbe flame which would weld her heart to bk.

But It waa a terrible awakening My only hope now Is that I may for get and tbat she may be happy.” The r mtcee dates back several yaars, at the beginning k tbe old story of parental Influence guiding tha ohoioe of a husband. “Even old folks may sometimes be wrong,” said the mother of the young wife as she ebook bar head In raoouotlng the story of bar daughtar's marriage. The oonple were united on April 4, 1900, at Newbu*g. Cady, the eon of a waalthy C id ad lan planter, oame to New York several yaars prior and In her heart, was wasting tbe nun* life away.

I love another. All this while, all thk time that you have known me, I've loved an thar. > The kneellog man fell back; pros trated by tbe blow. Then, aa the bought of the solemn hour occurred to him, he steeled his heart and .1k- caned silently until the full confession had bean msde, Ha then, called hk religion to hk support, and In # voice strained weak and passionless, he •aid: “I forgive you. If Indeed a wrong has beau done, It k I who have dona it." That night the patient's condition took a tarn for the better and within a weak she .was on the road to rec iv ory. But not yet did ha epead to bar of the blight which had bean, cut over bk life.

She had eeen him In adversity, under the greatest blow tiat can be struck at a man, and hk strength and., fortitude, hk gentle forbearance srdnoble self-sac rlfice, sounded a new note, and for a pear ,be remained at hk aide, striv ing to awaken In her heart tbe love for him that ha still craved by look and sot. But the old affection would not dis. At the end of th year th * left aim. SttU he sought her by letter, be- seeoning her to return once more and strive to find In him the qualities wbioh would orown his devotion with the love he sought. But it was in vain, sad, bowed in hi* g r gave her up. He took a naw charge In Stamford, Conn., and began life anew and alone. - He made tbe mktake of not In- formlng hlsnew congregation of tbe peculiar state ot his domestic ties. By and by mothers with marriageable daughters began to make blm the ohjt-ot of their attentions, and at last in desperation, tha harried minister made an announcement from bk pul pit which spread emsternatlon among bk congregation and caused a rupture which ended, a faw days sgo, in him resigning from his ministry abd ao- pting s charge in the Far West. It was but a short time sgo tbst the newspapers prime the announce meat. Riv.
