She had- not laid out her money wis‘ely. and the garment she now put ‘on was not only badly cut andmade, ’but its color was precisely the one alovc all others she wculd never have worn: a strong shade of fawn was not intended for a complexion so sullow as hers; and the final glance she gave at hi‘l‘Sd‘lf before she left the room con- vincvd her that she had never looked worse in the whole course of her life. No pulling at lhe luckless gown would persuade it to set, properly; 'no frantic brushing at herhair would give it any other appearance than mm of Being very little more than a child, that. storm, like storms in Nature, cleared the atmosphere. When she had cried to her heart’s content. she fell I‘t‘lii‘V’Pd, and distinctly better. She unpinned her hat, washed her face, and, mindful of the disapproval Miles had bestowed upon her tcusled hair; she wrestled valiantly 'wit/h'hrush and comb. until she had reduced the tangle of curls into an appalling smoothness sadly unbecoming to her. The last words burst passioname from her lips, she sank down upon tfie sofa, and for a few moments let her- self go in.a storm of crying. ‘ "If only Mrs. Breaks was here,” she gasped out; “it’s soâ€"so lonely, and 1 hate that horrid housekeeperâ€"and ohl I want mummy.” - A sob rose in her throat; still look- ing at her own reflection in the long glase, a sharp pang of pity for the white robed girl with the sad tear-fill- oJ eyes shot lhrough her heart, the sob became an audible sound, and two teal-s fell over and rolled down her cheeks. Surely "to-da'y, their we’dVd-irhg day, he might have stayed at home ‘to have tea with her, a_nd to help her feel less in- tolerably alone. l With a dignity that terrified Hope, Mrs. Devon' conducted her upstairs, first. to the great. drawing-room, then to the big bedroom in which the girl’s boxes looked painfully small and shabby. after which she said-sortlyzâ€" “You would wish to change, no doubt, lmndam. Tea. will be ready at half- ‘past four,” and upon that, she shut the ‘door and left. Hope standing in the mid-i die or her bedroom. looking blankly at.‘ her own forlorn figure. in the glass! looking next with a shudder round the great unfamiliar room in which she felt 51‘ small and out of place. If this was what rbeing married meant, she was very doubt‘lul Whether she did prefer the lodging ,in Gower Street and Mrs. Brooks’ company, and a spark of resentment, against her hus- band leapt up in her heart. The doctor’s sudden marriage had been bitterly resented by his house- keeper, and Mrs. Devon was no‘v the kind of woman who would go out. cf her way to try and make another per- son happy or at ease; she was quite devoid of motherly instincts, otherwise Hcpe's small wistful lace must needs have appealed to her; but on the con- trary, the girl's appearance prejudiced the housekeeper against her from [the very moment :they met. . She was still upset and overwrought by tho ceremony Shfl" had just been thmugh; the big sombre house, with its: luxurious, unaccustomed furniture overuwed her, and Mrs. Devon the housekeeper, had neither the faculty for making her feel at home, nor the least desire to do so. Miles took his wife straight Iback to his big gloomy house .n Harley Street, whither her boxx haed‘preceded her, handed her over to his housekeeper, bade her make herself at home, am] promptly departed to visit some 0! his more. important patienls; and then the cup of Hope‘s misery filled to overflow- “Yes. we must hope and pray," was the soft answer. but Grace’s heart was full of misgivings as she wended her way back to the hospital, and for the rest of the day Hope’s wislful {ace and tour-filled eyes obtrudecl themselves and would not. be thrust aside. “And I’m sure I trust, it may,” the landlady eanswered lugubriously, “But it aln‘s what I call a very good start, ’in catching of ’er up that short over a bit of a blot, and lookin’ fit. to kiII ‘er Pare Miss ’Ope, which I didn’t oughter call ’0' that no more now, see- iu’ she’s a married lidy.

His eyes still looked dazed as they were lifted towards Hope. The strong light, from the electric lights fell upon the girl. Anderson was stirer to a strong sense of irritation when he saw how rod were her eyes, how snllow her face. and how terribly, glaringly tin-be- coming was the unshapely frock that hung loosely about her.

Ignorant as she was of love and mar- riage, and of all that the words imply, some instinct. hitherto asleep in harp rose up and protested against his be-l haviour. She remained silently watch- ing him {or a few more moments, then her wrath boiled over. She was not. in the least in love with her husband.

But she did not love him. and yet she instinctively felt his treatment of her was wanting in â€"\vnnting in what? He sat down in the armchair, holding his hands towards the fire. his brain still wholly occupied with the grave condition of the sick man he had left: and Hope stood on lhc hearthrug 1n front of him. dull resentment burning within her again.

In- deed, she then and there buried her- self in the contents of one of tliem, and when, two hours later, Anderson came home, he found his newly made wife curled up in a big arm-chair, reading absorbedly, and unaware of his en- trance until he spoke to her. Then she sprang to her feet. exclaimingzâ€" “Oh! Dr. Anderson. I never heard you.

But, poor child, she was hungry. ravenously hungry, ‘excitement and nervousness having deprived her of ‘any appetite for the sausage with lwhich Mrs. Brooks had presented her before she dressed for her wedding. ‘ And the parlor maid’s searching gaze being withdrawn, she sat up and enjoyed a very excellent meal, after which life looked less gloomy. and she even ventured to move about her and look at the books and magazines up- on the tables.
