VENTS astutely would not stand it! Tunstall was a manly, straightforward, single hearted follow, and at lirst he did not comprehend hia wife’s attitude. He had homely ideas of married life, and tho routine of social dissipation was without attractions for hint. When at last ho learnt how matters stood, he thought it over, and camo to tho conclu sion that his wife had much reason on her side. Sho was young, good looking 1 | and full of tho wino of life, and it was only natural and proper in her to wish to I see and to bo scon. So ho began by at tempting to "go out" with hor; but ho presently discovered that going to bet] at 2 o’clock in the morning was not com patible with 1 laving breakfast at half- paat 7. He then tried giving dinners | twico a week and a reception once a month; but Sylvia pointed out to him that tho customs of good society de manded that they should accept invita- tjoos as well as give them; so that his second state bade fair to be oven worse than his first What was to be done? I Ho would not consent to give up his busi ness; on that point he was firm. Sylvia was equally convinced that it was im possible m give up society. For a time there threatened to be a deadlock. Finally a compromise was effected. Sylvia had relations and particular friends who were in society, and of whose escort and countenance she could avail herself. Her husband could take her to places and hor relatives or friends could bring her home again. By i degrees it was found unnecessary to have : him take her, and she both went and re turned without him. His anticipations of dcr.'.esl ic felicity were disappointed; but Sylvia was enjoying herself, and he smoothly enough. Percy N o 1 o □ maintained his brilliant career, and attained a certain distinc tion among the persons with whom he associ ated. lie was a big, handsome youth, with broad shoul ders and sturdy limbs, a clever boxer, a good whip, a fair billiard player; his spirits were exuberant, and he had iqpre mental resources and ideas than are voiiclisafcd to the generality of young gentlemen of his kind. Thus he assumed, to some extent, the position of a leader among them: and, as he was uniformly good natured and yet not to be imposed upon, he was liked and not laughed at. But his favorite companion and friend was Valentino Martin. The two men were nearly tho same ago, Martin being a littlo the older, and were a good deal alike in size and pen onal apix-arance. Martin, being English, wore side whisk ers, and Percy, being American, wore a mustache. Martin wis inclined to I* fair and Percy to bo dark; but they might have been taken to bo brothers. Tho Englishman, however, was of a somewhat gloomier temperament than the American; more reticent and more given to moods and inequalities of tem per. He had brought with him several good letters of introduction and had duly delivered them, but he had availed him self but sparingly of the social courtesies extended to him, seeming to prefer a less formal and regular life. He made no pretense of large wealth, but, on the other hand, ho never seemed to be cramped for means, and no one could be found from wham be had tmrrowed money. If he were a trifle mysterious, nobody was concerned to i&thont his mystery, for it was no one’s interest to do so Valentine Martin had not come to America to speculate, to organize a company, to raise capital, or to do any of those tilings that are apt to render en gaging foreigners suspicious in our eyes Ho had apparently come to amuse him self and mind his own affairs, and after a time ho was permitted to follow this innocent inclination The upper ten whom he neglected, ceased to take an active interest In him, and those with whom he associated relinquished the vain effort to persuade him to reveal his secret, and camo to the sensible conclu sion that there was probably no secret to reveal The acquaintance and subsequent friendship between Martin and Percy Nolen had sprung up spontaneously without any formal introduction. They had tastes and ideas in common, and they mutually pleased one another. Martin's was perhaps the stronger character, bu: Percy's was the more enterprising and lively; so that they were upon fairlj even terms. One day the Englishman accepted an invitation to come and lake afternoon tea at the Nolens'; he mei Pauline on that occasion, and it was not afterwards necessary to urge him to re peat his visit. Pauline was interested in him os an Englishman, and after discuss ing his native country with him ad milted him to a certain degree of friend ship. partly on her brother's recommen dation, partly on his own account. He seemed gloomy at times, and she was sorry for him, without knowing or even caring to inquire what made her so. At other times he conversed in a manner that interested her and stimulated her to talk in return; and, though Pauline was but a girl, sho had a mind that was worth coming In contact with. Tho English man never made any direct demand upon her sympathies or emotions, and probably he gained rather than lost by this forbearance. When a woman lias insight she would rather exercise her in tuitions than have things explained to her. Matters went on In this manner for several montlis, and the year’s vocation which Percy had allowed himseli was more than up. Ho had as yet shown no sign of being bankrupt, unless a certain abstraction of manner at times, accom panied by a biting of his nails, and a drumming with his foot, might be con- w e r e sliaping t li o m * selves for disas ter; but, for the time being, they smoothlvononrl : a . lwa ^ |?° ked *>™*rd to a time when she would weary of gayety and return to him. He loved her us much as ever, and was proud of her social popularity; be had perfect faith in her truth and honor, lie ate his dinner and went to bed alone, anu when he rose in the morning he was careful not to awaken Ids wife. That was the stylo of the j menage. ButCuthbert Tunstall was not a fool— a fact which his wife perhaps failed to fully appreciate. As long as ncr conduct was above reproach, according to the somewhat vaguo standards of society, ho would not interfere with her pleasures; but he was not the man to permit the least step beyond this. And though he was naturally unsuspicious, and slow to wrath, any one who understood men would have known that it would bo un comfortable to arouse him. But Sylvia got the idea that she could do exactly as she pleased, and she did it. One day Tunstall got a hint from some precious friend of hia—a very distant, indirect, ambiguous and innocent hint, but a hint all tho same. He appeared not to understand it, and passed it over without comment; but the repressed emotion which it aroused was so strong that he camo near fainting where he ! stood. He attended to his business the same as usual, returned home at his customary hour and sat down to his solitary dinner. His wife was upstairs dressing. By and by sho camo down to say good-by to him for tho evening. Sho was beautifully dressed and was lovely to look upon. Cuthbert looked at her in silence. “Good night, dear,” sho said, drawing on her gloves. “I suppose you won’t bo up when I como homo.” “Not if you come at your usual time.” ‘I wish you’d drop your horrid busi ness and come with me.” "I am more useful as I am. Do you know a gentleman by the name of Percy Nolen?” “Percy Nolen? No—yes—I believe I do.” These were her words, but her face and the tone of her voice betrayed her, and they both knew it “He is an agreeable fellow, isn’t he?” pursued the husband, quietly. “I suppose he is like the rest; all men are alike to me—except you, of course, dear! But why do you ask?” “Some one who knows him happened to mention him today. Well, and what is going on to-night?” "Dine at Mrs. Murray’s, and then tho theatre.” “Won’t you want something to eat when you get home?" “Oh, no. Doni* bother. I shan’t be hungry.” “It might be better to order something to bo ready for you hero than to take supper at Delmonico’s,” he said slowly, looking her in the eyes. She turned away her eyes after a mo ment, ostensibly to pull up her cloak. "I had no idea of going to Dclmonico’s,” she said, in a slightly strained voice. “Of course not!” ho repeated; and then he turned to his evening paper, and sho went out, with a smile on her lips a: d fear in her heart. Her husband had given her warning, and he hoped against hoped that it v ould be sufficient. Ho would not taki the next step unless she compelled him to it; but ho was resolved (and sho partly felt it) that tho next step would bo final How much ho actually knew of her flir tation with Percy sho could of course only conjecture. She had taken supper with him in a private room of a fash ionable restaurant tho night before. They had not been alone; there had also been present another young married woman, and a young man not married. But tho two couples had not been in each other's way; they had rather helped each other out It was certainly not an affair which Sylvia would have wished to have gen erally known—least of all to bo suspected by lift husband. Did ho know about it? or had his questions been only the result of chance? She wished to believe the latter, but sho could not After all, she did not seriously caro for Percy Nolen. It had been a mere flirta tion for pastime. She had not supposed that her husband would caro much, even CHAPTER IV. NEEDS MUST. EDGE KETEL- LE’S prophecy was delayed; but it come true at last; and Mrs. Nolen did not keep her promise to him. One morning Percy came to the house, and came np to his mother's boudoir, where she was sitting reading Mr. Shorthousc's ro- mancj of “John Inglesant” Mrs. Nolen was not given to reading fiction as a rule; but Mr. Shorthoute was under stood to be a religious writer, and she enjeyed Ms book very much without en tirely understanding it Percy kissed her, and sat down in a chair opposite. After a littlo desultory conversation he said. “Mother. I’m in a scrape!” Her heart sank; she closed her book, and folded her hands upon it “Oh. my son!” she said, falteringly. "Well, it’s nothing so very dreadful,” he returned, forcing a smile. “I was up at Monmouth Park the other day, and lost a little money—well, it was a pretty good sum, for me. Pm not a Croesus, you know, and a few thousand dollars makes a difference.” “Monmouth Park? What is that?” “It’s a track; they race horses there, you know.” “Percy, have you been betting on horso races?" “Mercy, mother, it’s no crime! All tho fellows do it I should look queer if .. I didn’t chip in with tho rest! Only this 8 ' mat sue woum n-ui ncrscu cast upon tno world with a damaged reputation, ouch a thing was not to be thought of. But the very peril of her position was an al lurement to linger in it: and then there j was the excitement of knowing that a man was in love with her who had no business to be so, and who was willing to go all lengths for hor. Moreover, she was angry us well as dismayed because her husband had spoken to her os he did (like all women, she interpreted what was said by what was meant), and found a pleasure in defying him in thought if not in deed So, although she did not openly and explicitly encourage Percy, she allowed him to believe that he was not indifferent to her.

But if l.o preferred his business to his wife, why could he not alloyr bis wife her pecuniosity. But another affair, not connected with finance, was going on at this period which, unless put an end to betimes, might result in trouble. There was a young married woman In New York society named Mrs. Cuthbert Tunstall. inherited business in coaL Cuthbert Tunstall was fond of activity, and he plunged into his coal with hearty good will, intent upon creating a fortune twice as largo ns that which his fattier had left him. As a matter of course, and of necessity, lie was absent all day at his oflice, and was often obliged to run down to tho mines to oversee things there in person. IBs wife was the daughter of an aris tocratic Knickerbocker family; sho had l>een a reigning belle in her coming out preferences? It was nicaL Nevertheless, If ho was be ugly about it, of course no scandal. Sho wt next tima sho saw and tyran- letermined to must be Percy, tho it the ac tio to go on with, A thousand dollars would cover the wholo thing. You can let me have it, can’t you?” . “A thousand dollars! But after that, Percy? You will be wanting money all tho time, and this cannot goon forever.” “It isn’t going on forever. This is the first time I havo ever asked you for a cent, mother, and it shall be tho last. Heaven knows it was hard enough to havo to come to you at any rate; but I didn’t expect you would mako it harder by arguing about it!" “My dearest boy, you might have all I possess, so far as 1 am concerned" “Who elso is concerned except you? a thousand dollars isn’t going to ruin you, mother, but it is ruin to me if I don’t get it And don’t fear I shall be coming to you again. I am going to stop the kind of a life I have been living the last year : and turn over a new leaf. I have several opportunities to get positions in the city, and I am going to set to work at once and find out what will be the best thing. As soon os I am in a place where I can turn around I shall put in my spare time studying up my mining, and before an other year is out I shall bo ready to ac cept an engagement I can support my self os well as the next man—and make | a fortune, tool But I don’t suppose you want to see me miss all that for the sake of a paltry thousand dollars?" The end of it was that Mrs. Nolen gave him a thousand dollars. She tried to mako him promise that he would come and live under her own roof, but he put her off with a temporizing reply, alleg ing, in no very logical vein, that he did not wish to make himself a burden to her, but when he got “fixed” so that he could pay her for his board and lodging ho would como with pleasure. The request indicated that getting fixed was on operation that required time The fact was that Percy paid sums on account to his most pressing creditors, including the proprietor of his lodgings, and went on living much as before; to salvo his conscience he did make some inquiries about work, but not in such a manner as to secure practicable answers. One subject possessed his mind, and that was Mrs. Tunstall. It was impossible for him to live with his mother while that affair was going on. His infatuation was intensified by Sylvia’s timidity and re luctance. A man's brains count for nothing in such a matter. Percy lived in the desire of the moment; he gave no severe statement of the repreliftisibility of his beliavior. The young man writhed in anticipation of this rebuke. He knew ho deserved it, but it would not bo easier to endure on that account Under ordi nary circumstances ho might rebel and answer back; but it would not do to fight with a man whom he was begging money of. He had always been proud of his pride; now that pride was going to suffer a fatal humiliation. Only one thing could be worse, and that was to inform his opponent of the night before that he could not pay him. Percy wished that he liad never been bom, and then he wished that he were dead. The first wish being impracticable, and the second one that he did not care to put into practice, he left his mother’s house in an unenviable frame of mind, and turned his steps in the direction of Judge Ketelle’s office. He felt gloomy and desperate. He could understand how men, heretofore respectable, were in duced to become thieves or robbers. Had he been a bank cashier, he felt that ho was in a mood to rob the safe and depart for Canada; or if ho had been alone on a dark road with a wealthy old gentle man, he could have taken him by tho throat and gone through his pockets. But he was on Fifth avenue, in broad daylight, and these short methods of re imbursing himself were not available. He struck into Broadway, and pres ently, about a block in advance, he caught sight of a graceful female figure that he knew, walking in the same di rection with himself. It was Sylvia TunifalL He hastened his steps; but just before he came up with her she turned into a large jeWel^shojfontha right. It was as good a place as another far an interview, and he felt a feverish de sire to speak to her. He followed her into the shop, and, as she came to a pause at one of the counters, he stood be tide her and uttered her name. No. 14.
