lint the truth is
Our poor genius was not much of a pc

profession a teacher of music, and he could
livo very comfortably by the exercise there
of without the most distant hope, how
eier, of ever iittaiiiinjf; to wealth. More
ott, Francis Miaot possessed excellent,
qulitief, wliieli entitled liitn to be called
hj el.lerly people a ' fine character,' by his
eampiTiions a ' noble pood fellow,' and by
tlic lidica generally ' d irling.'
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.
However, one day, when he pressed her
to declare his fate, she said to him, with a
lijh:
J0, Frank! I am sorry we ever met!'
'Sorry?1
' Y,-for we must part now.'
'Kit? repeated Frank, turning pale.
it was evident he had not expected this.
' Yes yes,' said Kate, casting down her
dith another piteous look.

The struggle was over. Tlio agony was

rose cheerfully to meet him. His manners

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, if you gnre your hand it would
not be without your heart?'
' No, Fruiik.' said Kate, and her bright

And soon there was a real marriage
not a splendid, but a happy one followed
by a life of love, of contentment; and that
was the marriage of Frank Minot and
