Fresh as a rose looked Harry Morn)
as she came.in from the.woods, on thal
clear autumn afternoon, with hor aprdi
full of wild grapes and her hat garland
ed around with scarlet-veined autumi
leaves.
Her husband, sitting In his study
glanced up at-her bright, flushed face
with sombre eyes full of -past memories
"Is the .world coming to an end?'
satlcily-demanded Iarry, as she -luni

He tried to smile.
You have. been in the woods' al
day, Harry,'' ho said.
"Where else should 1 be?" retorte(
the young wife, whom he had marriec
because sh-, was such an emnbcil!ed sun
beam. "You don't catch mu pokini
myself up in the house when all. th1
-world is so full of brightness!" -
But she looked half doubtfully a
him as she spoke.
"Now you-.re going to scold me!'
she said, with a pretty Iuplifting of hei
hands, as if to ward off some verba
onslauhght. "I can see the stern word:
rlsing ill) to your lips."
"Am I, then, so stern with you?" h+
uttered. "If so, it is quite uninl:en
tiolal. No, Harry, 1 am not going t<
scold you."
For lie remnembered that Harry wa.
cny eighteen, and that lie was eight
aud-thirty.
Harry caine and perched-'hetwelf or
his knee.
"Julian," she said, with a sudder
)rflitence, "I am sorry!"

And she,glanced ruefully around a
the drifts of paper and open folios of
the desk, and her radiant face gloomec
over buddenly, as she caught sight of s
tiny photograph lying close by the ink
.stand<.
*Julian!" she exclaimed,. abruptly
" ~ why did you marry me?"
"Is that so hard to guess, little~one?'
"Yes, but why?" she persisted.

''"Have I ever said so, Harry?"
"A score of times!" cried IIarry
getting more and more excited, whlili
the deep roses burned vividly on hei
cheeks. "Not in actual words, per~
haps, but-Oh, Julian, why did I evei

"Harry! Harry!"
"Give me that picture!" cried t.h<(

from thte desk, and retreating a pace ot

"It shall not lie beside you at youm

She paused, as if expecting a volles
of remonstrances-perhaps a stern re

treatingly, "may I have it-the photo

"Yes," hie answered. "T can re.

Anda Harry vanished out of the room,
half-dlelghted, half-terrified, at what
~~ she had done. Swift as aniy arrow se
darted down to a cool, shady nook, at
the foot of the garden, where'a crystal
trout stream gurgled under the shalow
of a canopy of elm leaves, and a twisted
- toot formed a sort of rustic seat.
-"Shall I fling it into the stretim?"

she was qtisiter and mdre silent than h1
usual, but ste id not offer to give back
the photograph to her husband. I
Was she jealous of it still?
And Julian Morny went quietly,01
with his lttudent labors--tho labors In
which his i.rs4 wife had shared so intel
ligently and helpfully.
He had-loved his beautiful Evange
line so truly and passionately, she had 8
been so entirely a part of his existence,
that whon she died it seemed Impossible5
that he could ever place another woman
in the empty niche of her ben., .
But' as time dulle.l the first sharp i
edges of his sorrow, and pretty Ilarry s
Tinton's winning graces stole into his t
heart, he began to realize that lie was e
not yet an old man nor a hermit. 4
iIe looked at Evangellne's liicture.- t
She would have bid me bo happy,-"'
he sid. "She would have told me that
It was no disloyalty to chei' the' dark- I,

So lie married the smilling young V

expression upon his face, "if you loved

"It is because I do love you that 1

cannot help talking in this way,'' she
remonstrated, and then her tender,

coaxing little artiflces would be re
doubled.
"If you would only forget her,".
pleaded Hlarry---"if you would only tell
ie that I am pasL and plreseni; both ico

But he smiled and shook his head. t
"Sweetheart," he would say, "you c
