So the next morning I started out, and, to tny inexpressible delight, 1 found my desire fcariblr. and reecived-the artist's perniiaaiofi to use hi* studio for four hours each day—the hours 1 knew Hugh would be away from home. It was not long ere 1 saw that Mrs. , I’hillipa w atched my coming-and going w ith suspicious eyes, but I. picturing her shamed look of surprise w hen she found my mission, went silently on my way and I had received the artist's rougratu-b-lion u|K>n my sueceaa, when, entering the house flushed and happy. I overheard Iter voice in the library addressing my husband: " • Four hour* evert day. Hugh, she is absent. Win ' ' told you wh giddy thing into this house you would regret it. It is your duty toaee where ahe goes and what ahe docs." But I could hear no more, os. with ■ flashing eyes and head erect. 1 entered

“Since I entered this houaeaix months ago a happy bride, a joyous girl. 1 have ■mils and worn, w hich 1 have suffered in silence.

She patience yet a iittle longer, and you will flnd your way into her heart, and once there, you will know how rcally w arm it is. which ahe conceals beneath a cold exterior." “He has chosen between ua. He will not give her up." With this thought hugged to my heart for comfort. 1 saw him leave me next morning with an anaioua frown u|xiu hia brow, and 1. quickly gathering together a few things, called a carriage and was driven rapidly to the depot from which 1 ha.1 determined to tnkc'TRfvfirst outgoing who would care for me in ray eomlngj trouble, and if 1 died there would lxnone to regret me. since even Hugh had

given me up.

“My babe, my bonny child!" Oh. how the words of motherly greeting fell on my heart as ahe clasped me in her arms when I alighted at her door, and I told her In broken words as roueh of my ■lory as I thought neceasarj . Hut aa the weeks grew into month*, and 1 spent long, busy hours in fashioning the tiny garments the little stranger coming was to fill, softer memories began t.. creep into my heart, and a dim wonder aa to whether 1 had let my pride gain too much ascendancy, aud if Hugh really had given up hia mother for my sake, could I atil! have loved him ao well? Bo. drop by drop, the gentle dew of repentance fell on my heart, and tear after tear upon my work, until there came a day when all waa done—a day when a child's cry broke for an instant upon my ear aa if a sound from Heaven Ead reached me. aud then darkneas closed round, and I knew no more. In the anxious time which followed I waa aware of some one near me with Hugh's eye*, some one with Hugh s voice, and i wonld try to catch and bid If atny. but in vain, until one morning the inista cleared up. and I opened my eye* to are hia dear face bending over ■y lipa with kisses. darling!
