engagement ring on Miriam's and to thank her for his promised happiness Looking at this man as he held tho hand so soon to he his no ono could doubt his love for the fair woman who stood before him They lind spoken of many when ho said Palmer has told me your gen crotis with regard to money I cannot consent to this It is true wo must have waited long be ofter you a but will win my way to fortune He lifted his young noble head ns he tossing tho dark curls from such a manly full ol bright resolution that Miriam wondered in her henit how any one could look into his nnd suspect him of mercenary desires She said nothing in answer to his impetuous only and nestled her in his She was not a caressing coy in her sweet maiden but where she gave love and she gave them fully and The days of betrothal sped rapidly During the day Wilton stood at his fingering over massive ledgers and dreamed of future and Miriam selected her furnished and kept seamstresses nnd milliners busy She hnd no ob- to her step father's wish to have house and furniture settled upon but wni resolute about the residue of her large fortune being left subject to tho control of her future husband But tbn days of the betrothal were short A gay a happy and the young people came borne to the handsome new married folks Two years ot happiness followed Wilton was rapidly in the esteem uf business chased as junior partner in the firm of Myers A at Miriam's earnest request although at- to his be was no mere seeking money as the only eud and aim of life Miriam found him ever a willing cort to ball or and the home evenings were given to or such bright intellectual in- as had its power of mutual attraction before marriage There were sage people who shook their heads over the wife's ex- but Wilton seemed most happy when she was gratifying some new whim or and she had never known the need ot economy Money had always been at her com- and there was now no restraint upon her expenditures For fine dress she cared but though she was and her costumes were always rich and appropriate but she was generous and loved to collect trifles of exquisite art around patronized rising and found no in exhausting her liberal income each year It was during the third year of her married life Miriam to find a cloud upon the former bright happi- ness of her life Wilton was changed In these three the loving heart of the young wife summed tip all her forebodings He had been the sunlight hour of her tender and but it became dent to her that some absorbing in- terest winning him more and more irom her side Evening after evening he left her on one pretext or oftentimes being away until long after midnight His sleep became restless and broken and some absorbing caro kept his face eyes and manners grave There was no unkindness to complain of Miriam met ever a a loving word the pleasant home and a dull fear crept into her heart Wilton was becoming miserly He denied her but would sigh heavily if she challenged his admiration of some new dress or nnd it was evident be was curtailing his personal expenses to tho merest necessities Too proud to Miriam suffered praying she might not lenrn to despise her husband as a mere money machine At first she endeavored to gain his but he kindly evaded her nnd she made no further But her home grew missing the companionship that had made the hours there fly so swiftly She had never felt household trusting everything to an experienced housekeeper She had no children to awaken a mother's love and so she plunged into fashionable follies and tried to forget her loneliness Never had her toilets been chosen with more faultless never had icr beauty been more marked than it now and she sought for ex- as she had never done in the first happy yenrs of her married life And while Mrs Seymour thus sought happiness abroad that could not bo found at her husband's grew paler and and he more absorbed in business ares One year more and he hearts that had been firmly bound together seemed drifting opart Miriam was sitting sadly in her drawing one waiting Tor the carriage was to convey her to a large social gathering at n fashionable friend's She was dressed costly over and every detail of her costume was faultless as to and the choicest quantity Her face was and her eyes sad She looked up as the door to see though it was long since he had spent an evening in her society Instead of his full the portly form of her step- father entered the room Miriam sprang forward with a glad smile am so to see she ex- warmly you were going to get rid of my and myself I be happier here with you will not treat me as father to-night I have come on a painful delicate and I want She was silent a and then shall have love your Miriam Great tears answered him you love dress and excitement better than Wilton A thousand no you give up all these for his sake have some motive for asking have indeed I love your band Miriam I have learned to respect him and was wrong when yon decided to trust your happiness in his father some great change has come over Wilton He seems ed in year ago your husband asked me to keep a secret from you Be- lieving he was increasing your happi- ness by I consented but I nm convinced now the deceit is wrong He hns assumed a burden that is too heavy for him to and you are not happier yon were a year cried Miriam ly am wretched Wretched in losing my husband's society and shall not complain of that again I am breaking my but yon will never understand ray tive A year ago the bank in which every guinea of private fortune was and everything was lost This and the money Wilton had paid to secure his ness were all that was left of your father's wealth Convinced that and extravagance were necessary for your Wilton implored me to keep the fact a secret from and braced himself lor a tussle with resolved to regain by his own exertions what was swept away by the failure before you could discover the loss But he is his and you are becoming a butt of severe ex- My secret has burdened me too and you must HOW be the judge ot the right course to Miriam was but the tears were not all bitter She gave its full meed of gratitude to love that would have shielded her from the knowledge of poverty and and yet she could scarcely forgive the want of confidence in her own ability to bear the sacrifice that the deceit implied It was long before she but when she her eyes were and her voice clear and firm house is mine she asked But it needs a large income to sustain such an what style of house does Wilton's income I the income he had two years A small dear no no two but no footman in no I understand you You will if I am made un- happy by your kind frankness t ton is in the library absorbed in ness Will you wait here while I speak to will come ho said kindly Miriam en grant I have judged you Miriam did not seek her husband at once It seemed a mockery to go to him with diamonds flashing from her rich so she sought her own and putting aside her evening dressed herself plainly and and then kneeling she prayed with earnest fervor before she left the apartment The harassed man looked wearily up you should have ed me Give me your heart and con- my dear He bowed his head upon his out- stretched hands you bear Miriam can if you are be- side you love me ard trust me What I cannot bear is to believe that my husband laves money than his understand that now But there must be confidence between us I must be true bearing your sorrows and your own brave He was standing beside her and for first time in that long weary year tho old bright look was on his weary face and the old clear ring in his voice His arms was around and she leaned upon his breast he said for doubting your your She a bright laugh as she playfully closed his desk and sketched a burlesque picture of their future home It is four years since Mr Palmer broke his promise A happy a more thrifty housekeeper or prouder husband cannot be than in the
