He had invested every penny that, he could spare, leaving the smallest balance at he banker's compatible with respecta- bility. He had to sell some railway shares in order to pay Madame Theo- dore. Happily the shares had gone up since his purchase of them, and he lost nothing by the transaction; but it gelled trim sorely to part with the mom-y. it was as it an edifice that. he had been toiltully raising. stone by stone. had begun to crumble under his hands. He knew not. when or whence the next call might. come. The time in which he had to save money was so short.

Mrs. Carmichael was slow to recover from the shock of her husband's strong language about T heodore's bill. She was sensitive about. all things that touched her own personality. and she was pcculiarly sensitive about the dif- rvx-ence betwren her husband's age and Mr own. She had married a man who was her junior; but she had married him with the Conviction that in his eyes at least she had all the bloom and beauty of youth, and that he admired and loved her altove all other women.

Anon dim feelings of jealousy to-' gun to gnaw Pamela‘s heart. She grew watchful of her husband‘s attentions to other women. suspicious (-1 looks and words that meant no more than a man’s desire to please. So- cmty no longer made her happy. Her Tuesday afternoons lost their charm. There was poison in everything. Lady Ellangowan's flirting ways, which had once only amused her, now tortured her. Captain Carmichael‘s devotion to this livety matron, which had hereto- !ore seemed only the commoner's tri- bute of respect to the peeress, now .struck his wife as a too obvious intntu- ation for the woman. She began to feel wretched in the society of certain Womenâ€"nay, of all women who wére younger. or possibly more attractive "than herself. She felt that the only security for her peace would be to live on a desert island with the husband sh“ had chosen. She was of too weak a mind to hide those growing doubts and ever-augmenting: suspicions. The miserable truth oozed out of her in too- lish little speeches; those continual droppings that. wear the hardest stone. and which wore own the adamantine sur- ‘tacc of the captain‘s tranquil tcnipcr. The-re was. a homeopathic admixture of this jealous poison in all the food he alr. He could rarely get through a ttVte-a-tete breakfast or dinner undis- (til‘bt‘d by some invidious remark. One day the captain rose up in his shenflth. and gtappicd “1th this jea- lous demon.

The sweet delusion that. it had been a love-match on Cupluin Carmich- ad's side. as well as on her own, aban- doned her all at once: and she found herself face to face with sleru‘oommon 801150. 'l‘hut scene about. Theodor-0‘s bill had exercised a curious effect upon her mind. To an intellect so narrow lrilles were important, and that the husband who had so much admired and praised the elegance of her appearance could grudge the cost of her toilet. gelled her sorely. It was posilive-ly for her the ‘ttrst revelation of her husband‘s char- ‘acter. llis retrenchment in household expenses she had been ready to all- plnud us prni5w0rlhy economies; but when he assailed her own extravagance She could.not take the captain's com- mon sense view of a subject so import- ant to herself. Love in her mind meant a blind indulgence like the squire's. Love that. could count the cost of ils idcl’s capriecs, and calculate the chan- Ct'S of the future, was not love. That tot-ling of poverty, too, was a new scu- sation lo the mistress of the Abbey House. and a very unpleasant one. Married very young. to a man of ample means. who adored her, and never set the slightest restriction upon her ex- penditure, extravagance had become her second nature. To have to study over every outlay, to ask herself whe- ther she could not do without a thing, was a hard trial; but it had become so painful to her to ask the captain for money that she preferred the novel pain of self-denial to that humiliation. And then there was the cheerless prospect of the future always staring her in the face, that dreary time after \‘iolet’s majority, when it would be a question \vhethcr she and her husband could at- ford to go on living at the Abbey ‘ House. ‘ “Everybody will know that my in- come is diminished," she thought. “However well we manage, people will t know that we are pinching." nu - “If he cam] for me, if he valued my god looks, he could nevu‘ object to ‘my spending a few pounds upon a dress." she told herself. "she saw in him a husband who loved far too wisely to Iowa well. This was a vexatious reflection. The sting of poverty itself could not be so sharp as the pain of being known to be poor. Captain Carmichael pursued the oven tenor of his way all this time, and troubled himself but little about his wife‘s petty sorrows. He did his duty "ac her according to his own lights, and ‘considered that she had no ground for ‘complaint. He even took pains to be ‘less subdued in his manner to Lady 'Ellangowan, and to give no shadow of reason for the foolish jealousy he so ‘much despised. His mind was busy about his own affairs“ He had ,saved money sinze his marriage, and he cm- ‘L‘ :. played himself a pod deal in the in- Vestment of his savings. So far he had been lucky in all he touched, and had contrived to increase his capital by one 02- two speculative ventures in foreign railways. If things went on as well [or liv- next six years, he and his wife might live at the Abbey House and main- tuin [heir station in the county, till the end of the chapter. » ”Ant..- Mn N (“U U]. uu.

And i have all the chances of tho hunting-field, and. vicious horses, and other men‘s blundcring with load- ed guns, against me. What can han- pen to a woman who sits at home and works crewel antimacassars and reads novels all day, and never drinks any- thing strong-er than ten, and never eats enough to disturb her digestion? She ought to be a female Methuselah." Secure in this idea of his wife‘s longe- vity, and happy in his speculations, Cap- tain Carmichael looked forward cheer- fully to the future; and the evil sha- dcw of the day when the hand of fate should thrust him from the good old house where he was master had never fallen across his dreams. Spring had returned, primmscs and violets were being sold at lhe street cor- ners, Purlimnent was a§emb1€d, and London had re-awakened from its win- iery hibernation to new life and vigor.
