A will was in the hands of his lawyers, made soon after his second marriage, leaving his wife amply provided for in the event of his death. People say she will soon marry again, for Mr, Bristowe has been dead a good many years now, and time has blunted the shock of her rst grief.

And the love was coming too; Ma-I bel was beginning to feel her heart 1beat quicker and her fair cheeks `ush with joy at the sound of her husband's footsteps, and there was no lip service in the happy words which she was wont_to greet him. .There were many things she would gladly have reformed had she known ho.w--and the carriage was one of them. It was a sore trial to her `sense of taste to drive out in state in the wonderful chariotw w,ith its lstaring linings and prancing horses, -so gorgeous in their plated harness; lbut her husband liked to have her do it, and she submitted to her state without a murmur. She would have liked-a pony carriage, but Mr. Bris- ltowe could not see the need of such l a thing. The carriage is handsomer and better looking, my darling, he said, pwhen she gently hinted_her wish, `and she could not nd it in her heart to say that it was because the carri- lage was too splendid that she did not like to use_it. It was rather a trial to be carried about the neigh- bourhood in such tremendous style whenever she wished to go out, and to hear the boys shout their opinion of Bristowe s Coach as she went iby; but it was almost the only crumpled leaf in her bed of roses, and she could well be content. She had another beter noir, but one which did not trouble her much. She did not like. her husband s old servant and factotum, John `Snell. He was a emorose, surly man, and had openly expressed` his disapproval of ' his master s' second marriage. His man- ner to Mabel had come to be so disagreeable that, after many attempts to bring him to reason, he had at last received notice to quit. was per- He was very wrath,_but fectly respectful in his manner. nev-I ertheless. I am sorry to go, sir, he said, when Mr. Bristowe spoke to him, but if I must, I must. It is your own fault, J0l1n',i"th_C gentleman replied, and John said no more, but submitted to his fate. "I ll make that ne young madam remember it, he said to the cook, and his words came to have a ter- rible meaning in the time to come. ing; it is not pleasant to h respectful servants, _but the did not` trouble hermuch.
