Kate could not help loving Mr. Frank, and lie knew it. He was certain sho pre ferred his society even to that of Mr. Well ington, whom alone lie saw fit to honor with the appellation of rival. This Mr. Wellington (his companions tailed him 1 Duke') was no idiot or hump back, as I could have wished him to he in order to make a good story. On the con trary, he was man of sense, good looks, nd fine naanera, and there was nothing of the knave about him, as I could ever ascer tain. IMIes this, his income was suMulent to enable him to live superbly. Also, ho was considered two or three degrees handsomer than Mr. Frank Minot. Therefore, the only thing on which Frank had to depend was the power be possessed over Kate's sympathies and af fections. The ' Duke,' although just the JMn for her in every sense, being blessed ilh a fortune, good looks, and common Jense, had never lxen able to draw these out, sad' the amiable, conceited Mr. Frank m ot willing to believe that she would Buffer mere worldly considerations to con trol the aspirations of the heart.

There was a magnificent wedding. fepleniliUly attired, dazzling the eye with her beauty thus adorned, with everything around swimming in the atmosphere of a fairy laud, Kate gave her heart to the man her ambition not her love had chosen. I) ut certainly ambition could not have made a better choice. Already she saw herself surrounded by a inagu.hceut court. of which she was the acknowledged and admired queen. The favors ol fortune were showered upon her: she flouted luxu riously upon the smooth and glassy wave or a charmed lire. Nothing was wanted iu the whole circle of her existence to adorn it, and make it bright with happiness. Hut she was not long In discovering that there was some thing wanting in her briust. Her friends were I'line rous, her husband tender and kind aud loving; but all the at tention and nffivtiou could not Gil lu-r heart. She hud once felt its chords of sympathy moved by a skillful touch she had known tho heavenly charm of thu deep, delirious harmony, and now they were silent, mo t oiiless, muffl' d so us to speak in silks and satins. Those chords were still and sound less. Her heart was dead; none thu less so because k lied by u gulden shot, having known and felt the bfu or sympathy in it uiieousoled by the life of luxury In short, Kate in time been me nin''ii,fictiitly misera ble, splendidly unhappy. llieu a change became apparent in her husband. He could not long remain blind to tho fart that h a love was not returned. In sought the company of those whose gayt'ty might lead him to forget the sor row and uuspair ol Ins soul. This shallow course, howev. r, was unsatisfactory, and, impelled by n powerful longing for love, he went astray to warm his heart by u strange fire. Kate saw herself now in tlio midst of a gorgeous desolation, burning with a thirst uiicoiKpicrable by gold streams that flowed around her, panting with a hunger which not all the food of flattery and admiration eo lid nppensp. She reproached her husband for desert ing her thus, and he answered her with anzry nnd desperate taunts of deception, and a total luck of love, which smote her conscience heavily. ' You do not care fur me,' he said ; ' then why do yon complain that I bestow elsewhere the afiVctiou you have met with coldness?' ' But it is wrong sinful,' Kate remon strated. ' Yes, I know it,' said her husband, fiercely. . ' It is the evil fruit of an evil seed. And who sowed that seed? Who gave me a hand withont a heart? Who became a sharer of my fortune, but gave mc no share in her sympathy? Who de voted nie to the fate ol a loving, unloved husband? Nay, do not weep, und clasp your hands, and sigh and sob with such desperation, for I say nothing you do not deservo to hear.' ' Very well,' said Kate,' ' I do not say your reproaches ore undeserved. But, granting I am the cold, deceitful thing you call me, yon know this state of things can not continue.' ' Yes, I know it.' ' Well? Mr. Wellington's brow gathered dnrkly; his eyes flashed with determination; Ilia lips curled with scorn.' ' I have made up my mind,' said he, 1 that we should not live together any lon ger. I am tired of being called the hus band of the splendid Mrs. Wellington. I will move in my circle; yon shall shine in ydlirs. I will place no restraint on your actions, nor shall you on mine. We will be free.' But the world!' shrieked poor Kate, trembling. Tho world will admire yon the same; and what more do you desire?' asked her hushand, bitterly. 'This marriage of hands and not of hearts is mockery. We have played the farce long enough. Few understand the true meaning of the terms husband and wife; hut do yon know what they should mean? Do yon feel that the only true union is love and sympathy? ! Then enouirh of this mnmuiery. Fan-well. I go to consult friends about the terms or separation. Nay, do not tremble and cry, T, ,. .
