"L can't go, Ilaidee," she s;iid ex citedly. "Perry lias the croup very bad, "and 1 couldn't think of leaving him." " Very well, Esther,' she said, pleased that her design was frustrated; "but it is not dangerous and you can come anvhow."' " It is dangerous,' said Mrs. Hal-' ton, "and I wouldn't leave my baby for fifty receptions. You are going against my will to this ball, liaidee. anil if any harm comes from it, it will lie upon your own head ; and Hay, I don't want you to be out late to-night, or to come home with Oliver, so I will send Harvey for you at twelve o'clock." " I don't want Harvey to come for , me," liaidee pouted. ! The reception was not only the finest, but the grandest of the season, aud liaidee Cony enjoyed it immens ly, but In the midst of "her enjoyment, her sisterls warning haunted her, anil somehow Oliver Levine lost that charm he had hitherto linu iu her eyes. Tired at last of constant dancing, she requested 31 r. Eevine to convey her to a seat, anil while passing down the the long crowded room, people in voluntarily turned to take a second look at the elegant couple, he so toll, dark and stately looking, while she.was no tit fair and graceful. " What kind of ice will you have. Hay?" Oliver Levine asked, in his soft, insinuating voice, as he bent over the white shoulder of Miss Cony, as she was seated in the embrasure of a window -with the drooping lace cur tains held back by golden (loves. : "Vanilla, please, Oliver," she an swered wearily ; " but don't hurry, 1 am very comfortable here.". He bent forward anil kissed her white, gleaming shoulder. . "Oliver!" she' cried, starting up, " Mr. Xevine, how dare you ?" I meant nothing, liaidee," he said depreciatingly, I forgot myself and stole a kiss, not from Miss Cony, but of liaidee, my old school-friend." Never attempt that again, Oliver, V she said quietly. 4 I forgive this Oli ver, but another time I will not.". lie bowed, but the red flush that dyed his swarthy cheek, told of his dis comfiture, ami lifting the fluttered curtains, walked away to get Miss Cq ny the ice. .:..,-V.

" You are liaidee Co ny ?" - "Yes," answered Miss Cony, not without a heart tremble. " I am liai dee Cony. -And 3"ou, what is your name, madaine ?" "Caroline Levine," she said slowly. "I am Oliver Levine'.s wife, and have come, Miss Cony, to beg back my husband." Site raised her thin hands to her shrunken face and wailed. "You are young and handsome. Miss Cony, while I am plain looking and delicate, lam almost dying, and yet I have not had my husband.- love or care for mouths, and they say it is you who have won him from me. I do not think you bad and evil hearted, Miss Cony your innocent - lace speaks different, but oh ! it" you could onR'know my heartache as I have laid luiny bed for weeks, seeing anil feel ing that, my husband's love was grad ually leaving me. I cried, I grieved, and gave up entirely to despair, when I iirst learned that I was loveless; but it onlv agravated my sickness, and . I resolved that if Oliver did not love me, it was useless to battle against fate, lint to-day a friend called and told me that Olivi r was making love to you, and would he' here, to-night. So I roused myself out of my - a path', and dressed, and cam' here." 1 " 1 lI.ougbt.no harm of coming with my old school-friend," said Ilaidee, with a tremulous quivering of her ripe lips; "but my sister, Mrs. Halton, sioke with me this oveniugv and an t hour since t saw the folly ot accepting t he escort ot my married iriend. lar don ine, Mrs. Levine, I never meant to wrong you or win your husband's a flections, for Oliver is to me only as a brother." "God bless you, Miss Cony,'' sob bed the unhappy wife ; " I know you did not wrong me intentionally, ami I hope now to win back Oliver's love. I will try and pray O oil to bless j'ou, my de;u friend." "Oh! Mrs. Levine, believe me, when I tell you I never, never meant to wroiig you." " I iK Miss Cony, "she began ; "for of ail" Jinti man's form entered the lace drapery, and arrested the words on her lips, and Oliver Levine stood lieside them. ; " I have been delayed, liaidee," he said, "and only just got away from Wells Hilton. You reer-lleet him. don't yon Hay? He ued to be the Oh, Oliver! that you should prove so to your noble wife !" Twice, three, four times, Oliver Le vine called on Miss Cony, and entreat ed the favor of an Interview, but liai dee always bent down word that she was engaged. Finally, three weeks passed, and liai dee met him in the elegant drawing room of her sister's house, aud allowed the tips of her dainty fingers to rest in his hand, which trembled as he looked eagerly down to her sweet oval face. "Congratulate me, Oliver," she said " for I am engaged to Wells Hil ton." Oliver Levine's face was very white as be raised her hand to his lips, and said : " May you lie happy, liaidee." "Iwiif," Phi? said",, softly : " and Oliver. 1 want you to be so, too. For the sake of your childhood days, Oli ver, 1 want to give you advice. You have a noble, wife, Oliver ; and we have wronged her almost beyond rep aration though God knows that I was innocent of any intentional wrong when accepted j our escort aud .at tention, and I never thought that you could be so- witched ; you. a husband and a father ! Go back to your wife, Oliver ; and win back her love and be happy. "Three weeks ago, to night," she continued., noticing his quick gasp arid pale face, " I found your note in nry loquet. Oliver, 1 forgive those passionate words you wrote,. for I tru ly believe Vou were mad, bewitched, Avhen they entered your mind. Try to win" "back. Caroline's affection, Oliver for you were mad to think of loving me." She drew the scented piece of note- paper trom Iter pocket. "See, Oliver,' she said, "your past lolly shall never be brought to .light.' She held the paper over a wax ta per until it burned up, and nothing but a grey mound ot ashes remained She blew those away anil said : " Oliver, the past is only the past Let votir future make amends for it." 44 Ilaidee," he said, I not only love you tenfold more, but appreciate your delicacy. May you never discover, in after years, as I liave, the curse of 1111- reomtcd love." - He left her presence, and when. three months later, he. with his wife now a loved one attended liaidee Cony's wedding, the love-light in his delicate wite s eyes told ot her happi ness, and when Oliver kissed the bride, she asked him a question, and he aus- were!,j "God bless you, Ilaidee! we love." And Mrs. llilson knew that iov and happiness were at last the lot of Caro line Levine, aud liaidee was glad, verv giad, that she had broken the spell, she was no longer "'Bewitched."

Come liaidee ; you promised me this waltz. Oh I here comes Wells now. You see he is im patient, and can't wait to be intro duced." 'ilaidee!' sighed the soft voice of the neglected wife, who stood like a black column beside her liege lord. 44 Caroline! you heii; !" gasped Oli ver Ixivine,' 44 you do not know Miss Cony." " You are mistaken, Oliver," laugh ed Miss Cony, noticing the Mile's white, trembling face, and feeling that she must take her part. "Caroline and 1 are acquainted hi fact we are friends." " And, Oliver, T want' to be excused from this waltz ; for I'd rather speak with Wells and hear all about the girls." i Mrs. Levine - clasped Ilaidee hand gratefully, a3 she walked awaj", lam ing on Wells Hilton's arm. . "Don't neglect to put yourboquetln water, to-night. Ilaidee,-' said Oliver, with quiet excitement. : 44 Those camelias need water to keep any of their beauty." When a few hours after, Ilaidee, blushing anil excited from the recep tion, tossed her handsome boquet up on the littered dressing table, covered with bijouterie, Oliver's words return ed to her, anct she cut the string that held them together, and away down in the centre,-.-wedged - between two blood-red and white camelia, was a tiny, perfumed slip of paper, .with her name on the outside. ' With' scarlet cheeks, naidee hastily red these Words : ' ; "Mr Darling : Ever since the days that we studied together, I have loved you. ' Seperated, as we were, for years I lost sight of you, and, in a mad moment?. married the woman .who is now my wife.
