" I will not go, Puley I I have said it, and I mean it," said she, spitefully. " Very well. T am going at seven o'clock," I replied, sadly enough. I began to pack my trunk, while she sobbed iti her chair.. CHAPTER IX. A LONELY HOUSE. " Do you meiun to desert mo, Paley ?" asked Lilian, sobbing bit terly. ! " Does it look as though I meant to desert you when I have nearly ruined myself to provide a house that would please you?" I replied, as gently as I could speak, for I was not angry. "But you say you will go to thitt.,house without rao 1" she ad ded, looking up as if she bad a gleam of hope that I did not mean what I said. "I did say-SQ, Lilian.

".- "No, Lilian; it will not be that I desert you, but you desert me." _" Hvt I never will go. into.that hoiisQ,". said she, sharply, as she dashed away-the tears that filled her eyes.

If the'time is too Bhort, you may fix a Jay yourself to' move. Name the time you will go, three days, a week, a month hence, and I will not object," " I shall name no time. I will not live in that house 1" " Then we may as well settle the I matter now as at any other time," I replied, with Spartan firmness. " You will leave me, Paley 1" "I will." , ' " O, Paley !

I knew'very well thatshe liked the house herself. Her mother intend ed to keep us in our present quar ters, for the sake of the income to be derived from us. She could board us for ten dollars a week, and make something even at that, for salt fish and round steak form a cheap diet. I estimated that it cost five hundred dollars a year apiece to clothe the two younger daughters, and -the.- profits on mjr board more than paid the bills. This was the whole-matter in a nut shell. I do not think that Lilian was a party directly to the conspir acy, but she knew that it rwould upset all her mother's plana if we Unfortunately for me, I had given the impression that I jvas made of money ; that I not only had a large salary, but'that I was Thave provided a pleasant hbiiie ',lneak youreI.jahd.,furniahed! it .in . .... . ,....,.---------- ---------- _d-a Style former years. I knew that Mrs.)mupb,;batter tha'^ I oan afford.)'.I. Oliphiint pinched herself in evet^y\lhaye_told, her tha*, after oocupVina' thoughts were then the new house. ' I was tempted to recede from my bard and trying bituation, and I probabiy ehould have done so if I had not been endowed [with a ccr tain obstinacy, sometimes called firmness. ', It seemed to me that my wife was not 'my [wife while she remainied iri the home of " dear ma." Her mother had more in fluence over her than Ijliad, and I could not be happy till I bad re deemed her from this bondage. My mother-in-law was swindling .me for the benefit ofher unmarried daughters. I icould not endure it any longer, and come what would coaie, I would not. I lentered the house the saddest and most miser able man in the whole city. The hour ' for final action .had come, I had informed Lilian, that I should move into the English basement-house that day. I had ordered an express waggon to come for my luggiige at seven o'clock We had nothing to move but our trunks, in which, for the want of suitable closets, our clothing was still kept. I had secjn Biddy in Lleft the morning, and told her to have supper for me at half-pist seven. 1 went up to our room'. Lilian was there. I saw that she had ! the beir of Aunt Rachel, whose been crying, but whether from I wealth was supposed to equal the grief or from anger I could. . not | capital of^the bank of England. telL t put my arm | around her possible way, that the prospects-of' her two unmarried daughters;might: not be injured. But I felt that; I; had done enongh for the familyj when I relieved'them of one "mouth to feed, and one form to clothe.' It certainly was not fair that I should pay the extravagant expenses of making the world oelieye that tny wife's two sisters were fine ladies. I was fighting the battle for my own independence, and not lesa for that of my wife. I know that molhers-in-taw are shamefully tra duced, but only because! such a one as Mrs. Gliplmnt is taken"as a type of the whole;clasi. I regard her jaa the exception, not the rule. Hjer plan required that she should hold my wife as a slave within the ma- rtornal home. In Jittto things, I found that Lilian consulted the wiH of her strong'minded mother, rather than my feelings. For ex ample, I once heard Mrsi Olipbaht tell my wife to. induce me to go to a certain concert, simply becatiBe Bliss Bertha desired to go. Lilian did induce me to go, and I went. The came up to the point by regus lur approaches. Not a word was said about Miss Bertha till I was closing tho door behind me, as I went to the bank, when it was - "By the way, Paley, don't you think we had better ask Bertha to go with us !" Of course I thought so, and she went with us. Lilian did pot care a straw for the conceit, neither did I.. : \< This is only| a specimen of the manner in which I was victimized. I not .only dressed the two ruar- riageablH sisters, but I whs to intro duce them into society, by payihg their bills at concerts, theatres, part ties and balls. But this was not the most objectionable part of the arrangement. T could not endure the thought of having my w^fe made the.cat's paw; for the monkey, to pull the chesntits put of^the fire,; She was not my wife in the just and proper sense of the word. She did not think so much of my irirjjr-/ esta arid my happiuessas she did-of, her mothers will and Wish. Neither of us was to [live for each other, but both of us for the Oliphants'^mbi- tious schemes.

' " Good-bye, then, Lilian," I rv- plied; kisaing her, while the tears gushed from my eyes. I rushed from tha house without stopping to close the door behind me.
