But the morrow yet born, and the night was only new What he had suffered no one but himself could ever know. The blow had a double effect, it struck at his | heart and at his pride. Love, that levels all things, had erased from his generous mind al! question of inequality between him self and Nancy. It was nothing to him that she had passed years of her childhood in a common home, that her surroundings had been vulgar, her conrections plebeian. He had leved her, that was enough; against all the world he would have upheld her; she was pure, good, a true gentlewoman; it was sufficient for him, her. It seemed to him, looking back now, that he had loved her from the very first--from the mo- ment when she had clung to his arm fhat bygone January night, and he had struck her cowardly tormentor to the mud. Had not her sweet eyes haunted him, and could he ever forget thes quick rush of plea- sure that filled him when she had put her small hand in his that ce- lebrated evening in umph- rey's '"dea," and whispered = she would be his friend. Friend! ah! how could her lips have been so alse--so crue ground his nails into his clinched palms. What act of friend- ship, was it that broke his loyal heart, and cast aside his tenderness and love! He could not believe it at first. He recalled every are the girl's character, he had watched so- -elorely he thought he kes it well; how 'pure, how gentle, how full of womanly swmpathy; yet what a treasure of human passion had seemed to him there! And now she was giving herself willingly, nay, eagerly, to the wife of such a man as Thomas Craw- aw! His wife! Derrick Darnley bit his lips to keep back the groan that would have. escaped them.
