NEARLY A DIVORCE.
"Good morning, Mr. Soldonel" said the
golioitor, advancing with a profosslounl

dear Mr. Soldeno, you look 1111" he ex
claimed.
"I am 111, Beresford," assonted Mr. Sol

in a dry, nam voice.
"You want a doctor more than a solic

posture In which lie had sunk into the
chair, un unoasy attitude of listless dejec

"No; it's my soul that's ill. You're tho

no good, it b past noallng,
Mr. Soldene was spenklug quietly and
slowly, with long pauses betwoon each
sentence. Ho was obviously in a state of
absolute despair, tie wanted tho energy
to proceed with his communication to the
solicitor until Mr. Bcrostord soothingly
encourngou mm and drow mm out ot mm
self by means of a fow leading quostions.
Mr. Borosford did not, in his sympathetic
catechism, alight upon tho cutiso of his
cliont's visit, but aroused Mr. Soldone to
a realization of theinconvonioncotowhlch
be was putting tho gentleman be had come
to cunsult by dolnying bis statoinont.
. "No; caro nothing about uny of those
inattors," said Mr. Soldono, pulling him
self togothor with an effort and setting his
features In a stern look of angered deter
mination. ' I want you to Me a divorce
petition against my wife. Tho sooner tho
better," ho ndded, working himself into a
fury as he proceeded.
The solicitor dissembled any toolings the
request nmy buvo occasioned and inquirod
In a matter of fact tone, as ho took up a
quill and spread a sheet of foolscap In
front of him, for particulars of tho nature
of tbe caso and tho character of tho proofs.

This was not tho lungungo of a business
communication at ail. But It might re
lieve bis oliont's feelings a little to gtvo

"Don't distress yourself, Mr. Soldono,'
he said. "Just give mo nn outline of tho
facts In your own way, and we'll see what
Is to be done."
" Yosj I wont to bed, as I said, trusting
imnlloitlv In my wife's lldollty. 1 lning

"A confession or something of that

"Yes; aoonfession, but an involuntary

"And how did you tllssovor itf"
"I woko up in tho miildlo of tho night
with a strango foreboding of Impending

such Intensity that I oould almost havo

'I got up and dressod, wont down stairs
and doted for the rest of tho night on the

word to hor about her treachery. In tho
light of tho knowledge I gained by her
revelations I bave pondered over various

ago, and his nauio isn't Ernest."
"till, I must havo Mrs. Soldone

"Yes, I have the address. Goodbv nnd
don't let this trouble utluct you too much.
I seo but little cuueo at present, Mr. Sol
dene." "But this lncideut of last night makes
other incidents look black which hitherto
were white. I fear my wife Is no excep
tion to tho rule which Pope has laid down.
Sly uod, to nave to think so of Gertrude!"
Three days later Mr. Soldeno drove up
and dashed Into Mr. Beresford's office in
feverish haste. Tho solicitor mot him
with a smile and a oordlul hand shake,
which was so prolonged thnt it maddoned
the expectant client, panting for news.
Mr. Beresford, however, declined to bo
hurried.
"You got my wire, then?" ho ooiu-
nionoed.
Ot course I did. I should Dot bave
boen hero otherwise."
' Quito so. Now I understood from you
in your previous lutorvlow, Mr. Soldene,
that oould that miduight communication
of Mrs. Soldene's be cleared up and ex
plained away theru would be noroason for
you to entertain any unfortunate doubts
concerning her fidelity; that it was only
iu tho light of that Incident thatany other
matters appeared to compromlso her? '
Yes, that is so," assented Mr. Soldone,
looking very bewildered.
Mr. Soldeno s fentures formod a curious
study. Gratification at the solicitor's
news, mortification at tho timotho lawyer
was occupying before imparting tho spe-
olllo Information nnd surpriso at tho sud
den turn tiio matter hud taken all strug
gled fur supromuoy.
Mr. Beresford proceeded: "I hnd a tils-
croot aud reliable person olmrgod to keep

without going too minutoly Into his re
port, wo come to the part of it whloh con

"Nothing npropos of this matter."
"Well, it did to molinmodlately. I sent

Anna, a young lady who thought it wrong
that gentlemen should bo disappointed
somo latai u.sHppointinent.'
"Not at nil," said her iiuilden aunt,
"not at all Nobody over thought that Mr.
Rhodes had courage enough to offer him
self to a lady. Hois ho modest that I
should like to seo him mako a propos;vl."
"No doubt of it, mint; no doubt of It.
And to hear him, too," paid Anna,
our father und I," Bald Anna's
mother, "oneo thought that Mr. Rhodes
would certainly marry Miss Susan Mor
gan, who then lived in tho neighborhood. "
"Was bo accepted by Miss Morgan?
asked Anna.
'I don't believo she ever lmd an offer,"
said Aunt Arabella,
Perhaps not, " said Mrs. Wilton, "but
sho certainly deserved ono from Mr.
Rhodes, nnd I havo frequently thought
thnt during Ferviees in church ho was
about to mako proposals beforo tho con
gregation, ns ho kept bis eyes continually
on her."
"Do you think," nsked Anna, "that
Miss Morgan was ns fond of him us ho ap
peared to lw of her?"
"bho certainly did not tnko tho samo
means of showing her feelings," said Mrs.
Wilton, "for sho never looked at him In
church and seemed to blush when, by any
means, sho discovered that others had no
ticed his gazing upon her."
"I should think," said Anna partly
asldo, "that a man liko Mr. Rhodes would
not lack conlldenco to address a lady, es
pecial ly if sho was conscious of her own
feelings and of his infirmity. "
Mrs. W. smiled, nnd Aunt Arabella was
about to say that no lady should over
ovlnco her feelings under such circum
stances, when Mrs. Wilton remarked that
onco when sho had joked Miss Morgan
upon hor conquest sho rather pettishly re
plied "that sho may havo Buhriucd him,
but ho had never acknowledged ner pow
er." "Conquest and possession did not go to
gether, then," said Anna.
"Well, Is this attachment tho cause of
Mr. Rhodes' slnnlo condition? Was thero
no ono el so at whom he could look in
church who would bo likely to look at him
also?" said Anna, nodding toward her
aunt.
"No," said Aunt A., with a hearty
smile, "nono in tho pew to which you al
lurio. I at least was too strongly impressed
with thoforcoof tho tenth commandment,
Thou shnlt not covot thy neighbor's ox,
nor his ass,' over to bo looking ovor Miss
Morgan ut Mr. Rhodes."
Ono morning Sir. Rhodes was silting In
his ollico when ono of tho deputies read off
alistof oxecutions and attachments, which
ho hnd In linnd to servo, and nmong them
was ojio against a lady ct a short distance.
Tho amount was not great, but enough to
bring distress upon a family.
" IjOt mo tako thnt," said tho sheriff,
with somo fooling. "It is out of your walk,
audi will drivo to the residence of tho per
son tomorrow morning."
Tho modest voliiclo of thoolTlcor stopped
at tho door of a neat dwelllug houso in a
retired, delightful situation, whero all
things told of tasto and oconomy. Tho
sheriff opened tho gnto, ascended tho steps
of tho houso and asked If Miss .Morgan
was at homo.
Tho servant answered In tho ufTlrmatlvo.
As Mr. Miotics passed along tho hull ho
thought ovor tho part liO had to perform
how ho should Introduce tho subject; now
If tho dobt should provo to lx onerous, ho
should contrivo to lighten tho burden by

door ho had conned his salutation to tho

ThoscrvantopeiietHb.dprr. Sir. Rhodes
ontcrcd with a bow. "Ha blushed, hesitated
and at length took a scat, to which Miss
Morgan directed him by a gracoful turn of
her hand.
Aftor a few moments' hosltancy Mr.
Rhodes felt that ltwas his business to ojien
a conversation that would explain tho sub
ject of his visit, so ho ofTorcd, by way of
prefneo, a few remarks upon tho coldnoss
of tho spring.
"Yes," said Miss Morgnn, "but yet, cold
as tho woather has boon, and oven notwith
standing a few frosts, you sen tho trees
havo their richest foliage, and tho llowcrs
aro luxuriant."
"True," said Mr. Uhdocs, "It scorns that,
though thoro may bo a great deal of cold
ness, nature will havo her own way and
la tlmo assert her prerogative lat, per
haps, Miss Morgan, but still tho samo."
.Mr. Rhodes felt rather startled at hi
own speech, and, lookingtip, wastnflnttcly
astonished to mv thnt Miss Morgan was
blushing liko ona of tho rose, thnt were
hanirlng against the window.
"Wo aro always pleased," said Miss Mor
gan, "to sco what wo adtt.lro bronkln
through the chilling influences by which
tlicy havo been restrained and satisfying
our hopes of their ultimate disclosure. "
Miss Morgan was looking dlroctly to
ward tho bush on which thn roses wore
clustering In most gorgeous richness.
Mr. Rhode put his hand Into his pocket
and felt of tho ofllclal pam, to gather a
little courago from their contact
"I have," auld Mr. Rhodes, "an attach

thjnise.
"Thoattaohmaot, Mlsa Morgan, Uoll

"Mr. Rlunles, you seem to bo rather

"1 nevertheless," said Mr. R., "moan

"1 was afraid that was tho case," hp id
Mv. Rhodes, "and therefore I thought It
nuinulelteate to make tho offer in person,"
"Yon an very eonsUlerato, Mr. Rhodes."
"Am 1, then, to understand, Miss Mor
gan, that my proposition is agnvablo to
you In other words, that It is accepted?"
"Mr. Rhodes," dd tho lady, with much
Itntion, "1 must claim a little tlmo to

'I will call, then, ou my return from

'IjcX mo ask a little moro time," said
she. "Sav nest wtvk. "
Miss .Morgan," said Mr. Rhodes, "tho
tatter requires Immediate answer. The

now Is everything. My feelings aro deeply

you nro us!u;t so short a tlmo to consider a
object which you aro pleased to view as
f such great delicacy with regard Li your-
,'lf, you will allow my feelings to weigh
Ith you In deciding in favor of my prop

delllH'rutitm upon my ability to per
form my itai t of the contract. "
Mr. ltiUKlcs then took his leave, astonish
ed nt his own volubility, which, Indeed,
nothing could have Induced but ills doslro
relievo one so much esteemed its Miss
Morgan from present oniltarrnssmonfc.
Air. Rhodes drove to a neighboring placo
deeply occupied with his gtKKl purposes to
ward Miss Morg-tn, satisfying himself that
the iecuninry sacrlllco ho had proposed was
due to his untold and unknown affection
r licr and not licyond ills means.
Miss Morgan felt a renewal of all thoso
'ivlings which lnul rather boon dormant
than titeiH'liiHl lu her bosom and desired
the ativii-e of her married sister, who was
utifttt'ttiuuti'ly aSeut. That Mr. Rhodes
had once felt a Mrong attachment to her
she could not doubt That he had continued
to cherish, as she had done, tho reciprocal
ftvlinT she hail not ventured to hoiio. Rut
ns It wat evident that tho proitosltlon of
Mr. Rhodes was not from any sudden im-
ulso, Miss Morgan resolved to signify her
assent to a iiiMposltlon so worthy of con
sideration ou nil arcouulH.
In less tlicn two hours Mr. Rhodes ilrovo
up to tho door again, fastened his horso
and wns readmitted to the llttlo luiek par-

Jlh-s Morgan, said Sir. Rhodes, "bo-
foro receiving your answer, which I trust
you are pretwuvd to gio iu favor of accept

that 1 havo considered all tho clrcnm

mvsclf better nlile, htini somo previously
unconsidered matters, to keep my part of
the iiiTangcmcnt than I thought myself
when 1 ventured to mako tho otter; ho that
the kindness, if you will liavo that won!
used lu this mutter, Is all on your sido."
Under present circumstances I moan

Consider, .Miss Morgan, consider favor
ably! May 1 not hope you mean that you

Miss Morgan mvvo no nnswor.
"Nov. then, It Is accepted," said Mr.
Rhodes wllli a vlviicilytliat Miss Morgan
thought would havo brought him to her

Mr. Rhodis. "Having now disposed of

"It Is tho attacliment, aud not I, that Is
Imperative. "
"You spcuk rather abstractedly, Mr.
Rhodes."
"Hut truly, very truly, Miss Morgan."
" Hut why limit us to ton days?"
"Tho attachment requires it."
"I thought," said she, smiling, "tho at

Mr. Rlicsies looked exceedingly con

"My dear Miss Morgan, Is It possible

"If tliero is any mistako," said Miss
Morgan, "I hope It will lio cleared up Im
innliatjly. 1 can scarcely think that Mr.
Rhode would intentionally offend nn un

Mr. Rhodes hastily pulled from his
pocket Ills writ of nttnoliiuont antl Bhowcd
