"Tibial: I woman 1. drink any more
flip if I were you,” and we were out on
the snow again. “I’ll spell you at the
_ reins a bit, ” he added, with another
queer look at me. "Your arms must be
tired, and I’m fresh as a lark again.
' Are you sure you’re all right there,
Bet?
There was a tender intonation in the
question that made me feel vicious, but
‘the softened gurgle of her “Yes, dear
cousin Tom,” set my very soul on fire.
Miss Blythe tucked the bufialo away,
. and made room for me on the back seat.
Looking straight across country, and
utterly ignoring h‘er gesture, I clambered
up beside my rival and tugged stolidly
at the bufifalo. ~
“All right, boys! Let go their heads
4—nowl”
With a lurch and a swing we were off
again. Once more we Mined over
hill and meadow; once more the wind
whistled merrily past us, and our bells
4 chased it in a musical peal. But the
sunlight on the snow looked blackto me
new; the bells only tolled a requiem for
my dead hopes, and the wind, in its
backward rush, only hissed,“‘She loves
him! She loves him!"
_Thongh the horses were freshened by
their rest and pulled like steam tugs,
Tom still found a way to turn and keep
up a running talk with his cousin. But
as he turned on the-side away from me,
and the words were swept back on the
wind, only a confused murmur and none
of their sense reached me.
I don’t imagine any tumbrll passen-
ger, ticketed through for the guillotine,
everjolted along more miserably than I
did those six miles. That morning I had
loved Tom Jones as an brother. 1 had
worshiped the very ground on which his
cousin’s No.13 Slipper trod; I would
have crawled on my knees to have her
accept the heart that was horn in its
"every pulse! Now I hated that brevet
' 'second lieutenant with a mortal hate. I
would sooner have mixed my heart" in a
hot dip and proffered it to the bearded
lip of the overturned than have yielded
it to the tenderest beseechings of the
false, the perfidious, the shameless Bettie
Blythe.
All things, however, even tortures,
have an end, and in course of time we
reached “Shadynook.” The unmated
mistress of the mansion was on the
porch, in the primmest of caps and most
' 'blankety of shawls, as soon as our sleigh
whirled into the circular drive. Miss
Anna flew down the steps and tWined
herself around Miss Blythe, still impli-
cated-in the furs. They were wrapped
in each other’ 5 arms I should calculate
some twenty seconds—they seemed to
me as many minutes—and, as they un-
coiled, I got the damaged remnant of a
confidence. I distinctly caught the
whispered words, “the dearest of fel-
lows!” and “all fixed and ready,” from
the perfidious lips of Miss Blythe. To
me at that moment the argue eyed spin-
ster, panoplied in immaculate cap and
, ditto virtue, seemed a pitiful fagot of
Weak precautions. I felt bitterly supe-
rior to her unworldliness, and thrilled
with unholy satisfaction that under her
so guarded roof was introduced a clandes-
t'me passion none dreamed of save myself.
As for Miss Anna, she seemed blender
and weaker and more white mousey than
ever in the reflection of the snOw. I ah-
solutely despised her as the symbol of
4 fragility in her sex—as a phantom flower
without even the fiber of womanhood.
' Tom seemed to share my feelings in this
respect at least. He barelytouched the
tips of her fingers, and passed on to
salute ancient Prudence in the porch.
Who could wonder? The girl looked
like-bleached celery after the spice plant
he had just left!
Dinner that day was a cheerful meal.
The old lady sat grimly at the head of
the table, with me on her right. Tom
and his cousin opposite and the White
Mouse at my side. Bettie, from Wild
exuberance of spirits, suddenly relapsed
into deep quiet that was almost sadness.
Tom, seeming frantically hungry and
eating doggedly, said no word. Anna
Bolton never talked before her aunt, so
_the burden of conversation devolved on
me. As I have said, the ancient un-
wedde'd ,was (very deaf, and, like many
deaf people, she had the special gift of
* yelling especially loud' when she desired
to be most confidential. Less for her
convenience than to feed my new born
grudge, I enunciated most emphatically
- all I said to her, but at the guilty couple
opposite. -
I spoke most feelingly on the sin of
deceiving doting parents—philosophic-
ally of the folly of inipecunious mar-
riages. This Was a stirrup, and using it
at once, the old lady mounted her hobby
with agility surprising for 'her years,
and jogged along till dessert. In common
with every very crahbed spinster I over
, met, she believed herself especially an
fait in the delicate intricacies of the
married state. Had her three score
‘ years and ten been passed with a succes-
sion of inhuman but rapidly removed
5" husbands she could not haw reposed
more ii'nplicit confidence 1n her perfect
knowledge .of double infelicity. And
however she might Wander from it, she
invariably came book to money as the
sole pivot around Which all happiness' in
married life revolved. '
“Frightful indeed would it be, " Was
the peroration of her long lectnre, "if
young girls were permitted to choose for
themselves without consulting the wis-
; 1dam of their. elders. What is the use of
=Oursxpe’rience‘, our sniferingsmn
'tyrdo'm; if we may. not point out to our
children tligo trn‘e pashito happiness?

self a miserable future by an inconsider-'
ate choice and a hasty plunge into theI
dark gulf of married lifel”.
I looked fullat Miss Blythe, whonever'
colored at my Words, 1101' even raised her
eyes from the pudding on her plate. As
for Tom. he ate his in ginat, absent
and seemed to have joined
Jellyby ybyin one of her ramblesto
It scattered, and one slug hit the spin-
ster. “Dark gulf” was good, and she
bridled up in unmated pride as 8118 an-
swered:
“How many, indeed! But I rejbice to
believe that some husbands are so well
ted as to have the will of their
head both for their law and their de-
light.” Here the old party raised her
voice to the confidential pitch, some-
where at A above the line. “My own
experience is a proof of my belief, for
next month my niece Will”—
Miss Bolton turned scarlet, only to
grow more white and limp than ever. I
understood then that her engagement
must have been arranged and alfairs
hastened since her return; but the al-
lusion Seemed peculiarly painful to her.
“Auntyl auntyl" she cried, rising,
“shall we not order coffee in the parlor?”
As we rose from the table the old lady
took my arm andled mate the post of.
honor, the corner of her special sofa be-
side the great fireplace. The others
grouped about the room, with the defiant
purpose to be agreeable, but it was not
written that the talk that night was to
be pleasant to them. The aunt would
give me, at her highest confidence pitch,
the details of her strategy to surround
Goldwiu, the enemy, and of her cam-
paign to crush incipient mutiny in the
White Mouse contingent. That (asti-
gated branch would wince at each fresh
sentence, while the conscious couple
from Piketon quietly stole glances at
each other and weakly strove to turn
the right of our position. ‘yBut I had
taken a lesson from the team Ihad driven
into the snow bank that day. When the
old lady’s slackening pace gave symp-
toms of flagging, not the gray himself
could have pulled more furiously for-
ward than I; when she gave faint evi-
deuce of a bolt from the road, not sorrel
Jalap could have pulled more sullenly
backward. I felt vicious inthat atmos-
photo of deception, as the beasts had in
the cold air, and reveling' in a rhapsody
of spite I felt it delicious to launch out
stinging little sar'cusms as they had their
heels.
.ColIee over, I became what would
have been unendurable, only Tom and
his lady love seemed strangely uncon-
scious'of the force of what I said. When
I was rather more spiteful than usual,
my tone rather than the words made
them look wonderingly at me with what .
I could not but feel a most criminal as-
sumption of innocence. Finally the
hypocritical couple strolled to a port
folio of rare engravings; the White
Mouse retreated behind the piano top
and played—very well, too-esome of
Mendelssohn’s dreamy, moonlight-on-
the-snow music. Still the grandaunt
droned her monotone about marriages,
gave me minute narratives of all her
family’s in the past, and, when my jeal4
ous spite was rapidly yielding to sleepi-
ness, came back to her pet theme of the
White Mouse. I had gone through all
the variations of the fact that she, yield-
ing to the ancient‘s will, had become
contracted in formal engagement to
the man of twenty thousand a year,
but now I heard for the first time
that the marriage was to take place the
week after Christmas!
“And there is a serious reason, my
dear sir, to outweigh all sentimental
nonsense in Anna‘s case. As you say,
sir, so justly, there can be no happiness
without an income—none, sir!” The old
one laid her hand upon my arm; she was
becoming so confidential she absolutely
yelled, “What becomes of love and son-
timent and all that trash, I should like'
to know, when bakers’ and butchers' bills
begin to come in?”
“You are right, madam—a thousand
times rightl?’ I grew forvid; Iglanced-
at Jones. The engravings had ceased to
turn over now; his eyes were fixed full
upon his cousin's, and his lips moved,
but inaudibly to me. His gesture,
though, was strong and impassioned,
and even as I looked those faces came
At the moment his
was turned from me, but here aesumed
deep earnestness, the eyes filled and
gazed beseechingly into his; then his
hand pressed a moment the rose tipped
one that rested on the pictures.
God forgive me the bitterness that
crept into my heart then; but it were
hard to snfier more than I did at that
glance. When I spoke my voice sound-
ed, through the dead silence of the room,
harsh and grating even to my own cars.
"Yes, it is more than madness, it is
crime for any man to drag a woman
down to divide less than one could
starve upon with decency. ”
Tom had not one penny beyond his
pay, and that stipend from the fostering
government he was permitted to fight,
bleed and die for amounted to nearly
seventy dollars per month. I did not
stop at the moment to consider that my
income from legal pursuits at the bar of
Piketon was an average of some sixty.
five dollars less than his; But why should

dictment as to any. old 'man’s daughter,
