Her sense of duty was of the highest. So intent within herself was she that iter friends never got very near her. Among men the featherweights? I mean mentally?let her alone from choice, the neuvyweights because she was not of easy approach. She was twenty-five before she received a single offer of marriage; then 1 it cuute from a practical, common I sense man of business, lie was tempo- P r a illy thrown Into intimate association M with her und discerned a great deal in her. When he proposed she took time before giving him his answwr, then gave it in this wise: "Some years ago I received a letter from a man who was dying, lie told i me that he had loved me without In-lng J known by inc. Being ulllictod by a liu- r goring disease, lie had never sought V me with a view to declaring his love. Since It gave a dying man couifort to tell iiic of ills devotion, lie hoped 1 would not blame hiin for doing so. He carefully concealed his Identity, and I have never discovered it. 'i have since been unable to shako off a souse of being appropriated. I know this Is unwise, but I can't help It. I have analyzed tny feelings for you and cannot tell whether or no 1 should marry you. 1 am. however, willing to throw the responsibility on you aiul become your w ife if you say the word." He told her that lie fancied marriage to be practical sentiment. Her feeling for the dead was sentimental sentiment. The first pertained to the high est of all human institutions, the family; the latter was simply a cankerworm feeding on emotion, lie would have her marry him. trusting to the ? great unbreakable bond, family affec- I tion, to absorb all other sensations. H They were married. The w ife for a Kj inne appeared to oe couteutcu i>??i happy, but after awhile showed that she was brood in p. Her husband noticed the ehanpe, but did not refer t<> it. lie knew that her "sentiment" was with her and that it could not be ?V-' en away by open interference, lie did not consider his wife responsible for its presence, lie knew that it came from some mental condition the nature of which lie coukl understand, though !u? had not experienced it. lie concluded to wait for it to disappear. Doubtless the llrst child would drive it away, ts the sun will dissipate a cloud. Rut children did not come. Thenwas still this intangible, psychological freak between the two to keep them in a measure apart. I1 was never reI'orred to by either, bin' both knew of Its existence. It was endured by both, for the wife felt that it was wronging her husband, and the husband felt Hint it was sapping the happiness of his wife as well as Ins own. One day while searching in a desk of Ids wife for a paper lie came upon the note that hail been written lier I and had since prospered; that he knew j she was married, but in spirit she Im?longed to him. Did she reciprocate tills \ feeling? If so. Jet her defy the world j I and be would come to her. n When the wife opened this forged letter one morning at tlie breakfast table, tlie husband saw her turn pale. That evening when he came back from business his wife said to him that something had happened. She lmd * ' debated with herself whether she . should tell bim or not and bad decided ! that It was better tbat she should not. j 1le replied that lie had full confidence t in her judgment, and this was all lie i said abor* the matter. After this the wife showed plainly that she was under the inlluenee of some powerful emotion. Her husband I meanwhile wrote her another forced | letter from the same correspondent. She was Informed that her lover could , i no longer endure the strain of separa- i Hon. lie must see her. lie begged Iter to send her husband away for a certain evening, during which he would call and they would concoct a modus vlvendl. lie asked for this one Interview only, after which, if she i so wished, he would never see her again. Simultaneously with his sending this letter the husband informed his wife that he must he away on business on the evening lie had appointed. Ills wife clutched her lingers spasmodically. which ho pretended not to see, , and left her. ( At o'clock on the evening he went home and was packing a valise pre i punitory to his departure when his > wife came to him trembling and, i throwing her arms about him, begged him to take her with him. He had accomplished an object, but he did not yet feel sure that it was accomplished for all time. He told her 1 that it would be Inconvenient for liiin to take her, but she begged so hard . that he consented. They dined together and after dinner took a train. The husband kept Ids own counsel The wife during tlie Journey one even lug nnuouneed that she desired his as slstance on a matter that was distressing her. Then she confessed to the letters she had received from her | supposed to be dead lover and asked him to devise some plan to gi t rid of I 1 ?.
