"You bare been a good wife to me,
Nellie dear," wild the squire, aa he rose,
and pressed bi Up to Mrs. Denlsoa'a
fair cheek. "You don't nee thl In the
right light, but you will when you think
It over. Meanwhile, you will do what I
want eh?"
"I will tell Maude when you deem It

wife; "but. Harold. I can't think It right;
tfcongh you know be!."
"You hare not thought It over aa I
have. Do m), and you will change your
mind," aM DenUon, a he left his wife'
boudoir.
Sadly mused the wife orer her hus
band's communication. Quiet, undemon
strative woman as she was, jet Kleanor
Denison had been brought up from her
cradle thorough bellerer In the dogma of
caste, and eren her geutle nature rebelled
at the Idea that a daughter of hers should
wed the son of a low-born attorney. We
know ber passionate Idolatry of Maude,
surpassing eren a mother' lore. It Is
easy to picture the bitter tears she shed
after that morning's interview. She was
a woman naturally given to weeping.
No passionate storm of lamentation,
but a gentle shower of mourning. As
Harold Denton's wife k! had had mini
fold opportunities of practicing her voca
tion, yet I doubt whether he erer left
Salter tears running down ber cheeks
than he did that bright spring afternoon.
CHAPTER VIII.
Seldom did eye rest on a prettier pic
ture than was made by honnle Maude
Utnlson this early April morning. Tbe
cfase-Gttlng French grey merino drew,
with the plain linen collar and cuffs, set
off her beautifully molded figure to lr
fectlon, while the cerise neck-ribbon Just
relieves and elves warmth to her some
what neutral-tiuted rot. Moreorer, that
she had just returned from a successful
raid on tbe ronterratory, a snow-white
camellia and Its blood-red sUter coqutt
'tlshly twisted In her glossy brown hair,
saffldently attested those crown Jewels
of tbe floral world looking more In pUtre
now thau when adorning their parent
terns.
"tJoodmornlng, sweet mother mine,"
cried Maude, as Mrs. Dentson entered
the breakfast room. "Only look at the
plunder I've broilght you! I found old
Judkins Hosiers unguarded this morning,
and I gathered and plucked. Isn't that a
bouquet, mamma, to greet you In April?"
"Ye, love glorious. No need to tell
me Judkln was away, or nerer would
his pots bale been despoiled In this wise,"
"So, ctun old thing! lie thinks flow
ers were made only to look at on their
stems, and not to wear or decorate
rooms."-
The entrance of Harold DenUon here
checked conversation, lie nodded a care
less "(lowl morning' to hU daughter, and
then plunged moodily Into his correspond
ence. He found nothing there, uppar
ently. to raise his spirits. At length,
thrusting his letters into bis iiockets, he
rone.
"Well," he said, "things look blacker
and blacker. It'a no use struggling; the
sooner my scheme U triel. the I iter. Do
what you promised yesterday. Delay Is
Useless."
"Hut, Harold " pleaded his wife
aa the ever-ready tears rose to her eyes.
"Don't I foolish. It's our only chanee.
Understand," lis said, cruising orer to his
wife's chair, and lowering his voice so
that his daughter xould not catch bis
words "Jutt (Hit It before her In a com
tnou seime way this morning. How can
you tell she will object, rilie can do as
she likes about It. I have no wish to
coerce ber III any way ; but, mind, tell her
the whole truth. It is only fair the pro
posal should be laid before her. I'll come
up to your room after luncheon, and you
can tell me how she takes It;" and, turn
ing on bl heel, Harold Dentson left the
room.
"What'a tbe matter, ray mother," said
Maude, as she stole to Mr. Denlson's
side, and, passing her arms round her
neck, laid her fair, fresh young cheek
against the pale, worn, troubled face.
"More of these dreadful money miseries,
I suppose ; but don't look so tearful over
it. Papa looks so gloomy, and you so
sad, Jt's enough to frighten poor me. Eren
If he ban lost some more money, I sup

'Ire upon; and It yon and I, mother, can't
late new dresse for everso long, that's
aothtng to be very sad about."
I am afraid Maude Denlson Is display
ing an Ignorance of the world, and a ills
"egard to the vanities and gewgaws there
f, that may seem a little hlgh-atralned;
but recollect that she Is but eighteen,
that the Xmbtnster was her first Ml, and
that, owing to her father's pride and
straitened circumstances, she has lived a
very secluded life.
Few were the strangers that came with
in th gates of Clllnu of late year. Har
old Denlson scorned to entertain unless
he could do so with all the old lavish
profusion that prodigal hospitality of
former times which had entailed such bit-terne-M
In his present dally bread. llts
wife, naturally an extremely sensitive
woman, shrunk also from mixing In so
ciety In a much more humble and modest
way than she had been wont to do. She
was not of the temperament to face the
half-whispered comment and upraised
eyebrows of her country neighbors; Toor
thing! I hear he haa run through every
thing; eren the carriage home, have to
be put down. Hemarks of this kind
were past her endurance, and so It was
that since she left school, some two years
agn. Maude had led a very secluded life.
True, many an old friend of the Dent
sons had offered to take rare of the girl
to various gaieties in the county, even If
they could not induce Mrs. Denlson to
come to their house and chapcrone her
own dtughter; but all such Invitations
bad been met with a brief though cour
teous refusal. I'oor lady, she had more
than once pleaded In her darling' behalf ;
but, wrapped In bis own selfish pride,
Harold IVnlson saM fiercely, he would
be patroniied by no otie.
And so Maude grew up like some wild
flower, though not "born to bloom and
blush unseen." For are there not already
two who would fain pluck the wild flower
and gather It to their bosoms If they may?
Did Maude know she was handsome?
Of course she did. &h wanted no Xrnln
ster ball to tell her that. What girl
over fifteen, in tbe most primitive of
nations, having beauty, Is unaware of
It? if there are no looking glasses, are
there not deep pelucld waters that will
sene as such? Nature's mirrors where
by to wreath wild flowers In the hair?
Maidens of our advanced civilization may
be. haunted with misgivings, (liren tbe
face of an angel, can we tell how It may
stand the "make-up" that fashion seems
to have decreed In these days? How dark
eyes and eyelashes will go with golden
hair Is of course, an o;n question. I
can fancy the nervousness of those dinky
Indian belles till they have ascertained
the effect of paint and pigments, and what
anxious moments our remote ancestresses
must have bad when they first put on
their wood !
Thus it came about that Maude Dentson
bad been out but on very few occasions,
and bad It not been that her godmother,
who having gold to bejueat)i, was too Im
portant a ieron to be triflni with, bad
Insisted on bearing her off, she had never
seen that memorable Xmlnstrr ball.
Twrlte o'clock, and the suit shine
brightly Into Mrs. DnIon' boudoir,
throwing rich tiuts through Maude's
brown tresres. and lighting up the le
face of her mother; that Joyous, tearful,
capricious, womanish April sun so like
a woman in It glowing strength, so like
her, again, in Its orerclouded weakness!
I'oor Mrs. Denlson I still pondering on
how to begin the dread task her lord has
set lu-r. Kbe knows that gloxlog phrae
of "not wishing to coerce the girl's de
cision." is but the meanest mockeries;
she can look back uii that airy preface
of "not tlrnt I wlh to sway you, my
dearest Kleanor," In so many case, and
remembers too well that whatever may
have leen her misgivings or dislikes, the
program has genrrally been carried out
In It original Integrity. She has borne
these things meekly. They concerned but
herself; now they threaten her daughter.
Weak woman as she Is. she would fain
stand at bay here. Kill), though Intui
tively knowing that It was false, there is
the six-clous reasoning of her husband's,
that the thing might to be submitted to
Maude herself. Again the tendrils of her
affections are twined round dear old
(lllnu: she feels what a bitter wreneh it
would be to say farewell to the old place.
Abote all, there is the strong will of that
selfish, hixdintid, whom hhe still loves so
dearly, under wIhjm- thrall her life ha
pasted.
filAlTKIt IX.
What slaves these weak women are to
those miserable elay Idol they have set
up only to fall down before and worship!
Adoration Is tbe main part of a woman's
lore. How they still revere these worth
less Images, despite the dally proof they
hare a to what miserable potter's ware
they are composed of. Hut they go on,
even when bruised mid beaten, still firmly
believing In their old romantic Ideal, Oh,
ye, women will hut their eyes to many

of their girlhood. They would sooner re
main blind than awake to find themselves
utterly bankrupt, and their account far
overdrawn at Cupid and Company'. A
woman will forglvo the man she lore ev

cling tb closer to blm through crime or

Dentson, "whom did you like best of all

"Never mind Tell me."
"Welt, I don't know; I never thought

girl, meditatively, "unless It was my danc

that matter to him?"
"And did you and fircn part on bad
terms?"
"No: I came down and gave htm his
coffee before he went away, and he
kissed me anil so we vrted friends,"
1 think, had I len (Irenvllle ltoe. I
should hare preferred Maude being a lit
tle more reticent about the kiss. .Still,
the slight hesitation In her speech, the
slight flush that crossed her eheek a she
alluded to it, were favorable sign to an
astute observer. He hail kissed her a

I'd rather not. If It was so. Hut you

laughed merrily.
"Hut suppose I was, whom would you

"Oh, dear, none of them. If It came
to the worst, I should say I was engaged

"My dear Slaude!"
