I told him firmly tha‘t I would never consent to an elopementâ€"that K« I was ever marricd it must be in my _ father‘s house, and everything conducted in a respectable and legal manner. ‘This made him angry at first, at what he termed my jlack of faith in him, but finally, _ upon being told of my parents‘ proposed visit to New _ York, he planned the . wedding you have _ described, and 1 consented that the marâ€" rlage should be kept secret, until afâ€" ter i; graduation and accession to the fortune he exspecited, when, he promâ€" ised, he would own me before his famâ€" lly ard the world. ‘"He played his game wellâ€"so well that it is not strarge that I never suspected but that that ceremony was legalâ€"or that I was not his lawâ€" ful wife.

Then, of course, I was obl.iged to resign my position, and poverty began to pinch us with its gaunt and crue> fingers. I had saved something, for I had deceived a fair sa_ary, but this was soon swalâ€" lowed up by doctors‘ bills and mediâ€" cines; then I tried to do dressmakâ€" ing, but, never having learned to fit after any approved method, I cou‘d not get work enough to support us, so I had to come down to shopâ€"work, that device of greedy capitalists which saps the life and courage of so many thousands of he‘pless and unfortunâ€" ate women every yearâ€"and finaly drifted to Boston, where I had heard that the pittance paid for such work was not quite so meagre. But poor living and bhard work, together with an ever present anxiety regarding my boy‘s future, were fast wearing me out, when Heaven sent me a kind friend, who brought us both hera to the seashore, where I have been rapâ€" idby _ regaining my â€" bealith and strength.

" Now let me go," she said, rising, "I do not know why I have told you all this, unless the sight of one who participated in the ruin of my happlness has served to unlock the secret chambers of my heart tolet you read the sequel to your night of * frolie.‘ Ah!" she cried in d vo‘ce that stung her listener to the soul, " why is the world so crue! and unjust? Why are men allowed to go scot free when they sin so boldly _ and are #®o indifferent to consequences ? Why does the world tolerate the wrecking of the lives of pure, innocent girls, and then receive their betrayers, with smiles and favor, upon the topmost wave of society, while thelr victims are spurned as too vile to cumber the earth ?

But I was even more swhocked _ and _ dismayed when _ a few _ weeks later _ Mathews conâ€" fided _ to me the bolid _ thing which he had dared to do at that time. If you remember he was the gayest of us allâ€"the life of the party that night; but his gayety was al assumed to cover up a nervousness which he found it almost impossible to contro.. He was a wild, harumâ€" scarum fellow, but he had the kindest heart in the world and never willfully caused any one a pang. Heatherton deceived us all, regarding his real inâ€" tentions," for he represented to us that he was simp‘y going out to your home for a fro.ic and that it was so understood by you and your {riend.

He did not dure to charge hm with his suspicions, for he fect that if he was determined _ to L he was determined t0 ruin _ you hbe wou‘ d accompish eventually his purpose, if he did not that night. He could not bring himâ€" solf to, reveal his suspicions to you, for he could not prove them, and he knew you had the utmost faith in your lover; o> he resoived upon a bold stroke, and, instead of curses and reproaches, Mirlam Wallingford, you owe Albert Muthews your deepâ€" est gratitude, for it was through his innate honor and manliness and his reverence for womanhood that you were that night made a legal wife, instead of being the dupeo of an unprincipled man, and the ruined woâ€" man you afterwards believed yourâ€" selt to be." The astonished woman seemed sudâ€" denly turned to stone, by this wonâ€" derful declaration, â€" while she stood staring at her companion, a dazed, incredulous expression on her cojorâ€" less face. * What can you mean? Oh! do not make a miserable jest of my shame and wretchedness," she at length cried, in a hollow, almost unrecognizable voice. % "I am not jestingâ€"heaven knows that I am too much appalied by what you have tola me, to speak lightly or frivolously now. _ I _ deâ€" clare only the s‘imple truth when I say that you were legally married to Richard Heatherton on that neverâ€"toâ€"beâ€"forgotten â€" night ; that you have every right in the world Joy never kills, but it often parâ€" alyzes for the time being. Miriam _ Wallingford _ swayed dizâ€" zily for a moment where _ she stood, then fell back into the chair, from which she had risen a few moâ€" ments previous, where she . fainted away for the second time that day.

What fools and knaves both Mathâ€" ews and I were to be drawn into parâ€" ticipating in any scheme so wicked. We both should have utterly re fuse1 to have anything to do with it; and if Mathews had good reason for suspecting the truth, as it seems he had, he should have openly _ deâ€" nounced Heathorton, or at least have warned Mr. Wallingford of his . inâ€" tentions." But the fainting woman quickly reâ€" covered; the loss of â€" consciousness had only been momentary, and she soon sat up, eager to learn . moreâ€" regarding the wonderfol revelation which ‘Mr. Langmaid had just _ dis closed, a new hope lighting her wan face and animating her heavy heart.

The sixth division was in the field and a cavalry brigade was engaging the main body of General Cronje‘s army. The Canadians _ adâ€" vanced to the banks, and jamped into the Modder River, which was four feet deep. Cronje‘s men held a strong position on the north bank of the river.
