"Nurse will rise at 4 and brinpr yon a
nice cap of tea. Arc yon sure yon will
not weary, being alone for two hours?" j
And Mm. Marsden, in charming out- j
door dress, blew ean do cologne about
the room. "Don't yon love scent?"
"Where are yon going?" asked Mars-
den, following her with fond eyes.
"Yon told mo yesterday, but I forget
This illness hits made me stupider than
ever, I think. Wasn't it some charity?"
"It's the new society every one is so
interested in, the Working Wives' Cul-
ture union. What is wanted is happy
jomes for the workingmen," quoting
freely from an elegant woman orator,
"iinii the women must Ixi elevated, so
the Hast End is to be divided into dis-
tricts, and two young women will be
allotted to each. Are you listening?"
"Yes, dear, but it rests me to lie with
my eyes closed. Tell me all about your
six-iety. What aro the young ladies to
do?"
"Oh, they're to visit the wives in the
afternoon and read books to them, solid
books, you know, about wages—all
dying as he had been With Bis' living.
Very shortly afterward Thomas Mars-
den had done with statistics forever.

from the city with tidings on his face,
and he told them to his wife when they

kinds of things workingmen lika Then
in the evening thewivt.s will bo able to
talk with their hti.sbiinds on equal
tcrnia and tho men will not want to go
to tho public houses. Isn't it a capital
idea?"
A sad little smile touched Marsden's
lips for an instant. "And where do you
meet today? It's a long way for you to
go to Whitecliapel. "
'Didn't I tell you? The Marchioness
of Gloucester is giving a drawing room
at her town house, and Lady Helen
wrote an urgent note, insisting that I
should come even though it were only
for an hour, as her mother depended
upon my advice so much.
"Of course I know that's just a way
of putting it, but I have taken lots of
trouble about founding the union, so I
think it would hardly do for me to be
absent. You're feeling much better,
too, aren't you, today, Thomas?"
"Yes, much better. The pain has al-
most ceased. Perhaps it will be quite
gono when yon return. Can you spare
just ten minutes to sit beside me? There
is something I have been wanting to
say, and perhaps this is my only chance.
When I am well again, I may—be
afraid.''
Mrs. Marsden sat down, wondoring,
and her husband waited a minute.
"One understands many things that
puzzled him before when he lies in
quietness for weeks and takes an after
look. Yos, I suspected it at times, but
I was a coward and put the thought
away. It seemed curious that no one
came to spend an hour with me, as men
do with friends, and I noticed that they
appeared to avoid me. I thought it was
fancy, and that I had grown self con-
scious.
"Everything is quito plain now, and
I—am not hurt, dear, and I don't blame
any person. That would be very wrong.
Peoplo might have been far more impa-
tient with me and might have made my
life miserable.
"God gave me a dull mind and a
plow tongue, it took me a long time to
grasp anything, and no one cared about
the subject that interested me. Beatrice,
I wish now you had told me how I
bored our friends. It would have been a
kindness. I?ut never mind that now.
You did not like to give me pain.
"What troubles me most is that all
these years you should hav9 been tied
to a very tiresome fellow. " And Mars-
den made some poor attempt to smile.
"Had I thought of what was before you
I would never have asked you to marry
me.
"Don't cry, dear! I did not wish to
hurt you. I wanted to ask your pardon
for all that martyrdom, and—to thank
you for—being my wife, and there's
something else.
"You see, when I get well and am
not lying in bed maybe I could not tell
you, so let me explain everything now,
and then we need not speak about such
things again.
"Perhaps you thought me too eco-
nomical, but I was saving for a pur-
pose. Your portion has not brought
quite so much as it did, and I wished
to make it up to you, and now you can
have £600 a year, as before. If this ill-
ness had gone against me, you would
have been quite comfortable—in money,
I mean, dear.
"No. I insist on your going to Lady
Gloucester's—the change will do you
good—and I'll lie here digesting tho Ref-
ormat ion, yon know." And he smiled,
better this time, quite creditably, in
fact. "Will you give me a kiss just to
keep till we meet again?"
When the nurse came down at 4 to
take charge, she was horrified to find
her patient alone and in the death ago-
ny, but conscious and able to speak.
"Don't ring—nor send for my wife.
I sent—her away, knowing the end was
near—made her go, in fact—against her
will."
The nurse gave him brandy, and he
became stronger for a minute.
"She has had a great deal to bear
with me, and I—did not wish her to
see death. My manner has always been
so wearisome—I hoped that—nobody
would be here. You are very kind,
uursa No more, if you please.
" Would it trouble you—to hold my
hand, nurse? It's a little lonely—I am
not afraid—a wayfaring man—though
a fool—not err therein"—
He was not near so tedious with his
den's settlement."
"I'm so glad! You must accept, for
it will be such a comfort to poor Bea-
trice But 1 thought Godfrey was her
sole trustee."
"So ho was," said Leslie grimly,
"more's tho pity, and he embezzled
every penny of the funds—gambled them
away in card playing and—other ways.''
"Godfrey Harrison, Beatrice's broth
cr?"
"Yes, her much admired, accomplish-
ed, ill used brother, the victim of her
husband's stinginess."
"If that bo true, then Godfrey is sim-
ply a"—
"You mean an unmitigated scoun-
drel Quite so, Florence, and a number
of other words we won't go over I tell
you," and Leslie sprang to his feet,
"there is some uso in swearing If it
had not been for one or two expressions
that camo to my memory suddenly to
day, 1 should have been ill Curious to
say, the lawyer seemed to enjuy then
as much as myself, so it must bo a bad
ease "
"But I don t understand—if Godfrey
spout Trixy s money, how is there any-
thing to manage? Did ho pay it back?"
"No, ho did not, and could not He
has not enough brains to earn 18 penc(
excei* by cheating, and if by chance h
camo into a fortune would grudge his
sister a pound."
"Then" —
"Don't you begin to catch a glimpso
of the facts? Why, Marsden toiled and
scraped and in the end, so the doctor.-
say, killed himself to replace the mnn
ey, and he had just succeeded before
j his death. "
"How good of him. But I don't see
tho necessity of all this secrecy on his
part and all those stories about low in
terest that ho told Trixy."
"There was no necessity. If it hart
been some of us, we would have let
Mrs. Marsden know what kind of broth
er she had aud ordered him out of th
country on threat of the jail. "
"It was Marsden's foolishness, let us
call it, to spare his wife the disgrace of
her idol and the loss of his company
So her husband was despised beside thn
precious rascal every day. "
"Trixy will get a terrible shock
when she is told. It would almost have
been kinder to let her know the truth
before he died."
'' Mra Marsden is never to know,'
said Leslie "That was his wish. She's
just to- be informed that new trustees
have been appointed, and we are to take
care that she does not waste her income
on the fellow."
"People will send letters of condo
lence to Mrs Marsden, but they will
say at afternoon teas that it must be a
great relief to her, and that it's quite
beautiful to see her sorrow. In tw<
years she will marry some well dressed
fool, and they will live on Marsden
money " And Ijoslio's voice had an un
nsual bitterness.
'' Did you ever hear of another cast
like this, .lohn?"
"Never When old Parchment de
scribed Marsden pivinghimthe iustruc
tions, he stopped suddenly.
"'Marsden,' he said, 'was the big
gest fool 1 ever came across in tht
course of 42 years' practice,' and bt
went over to the window. "
"And you?"
"1 went to tho fireplace. We wen
both so disgusted with tho man that wt
could not speak for five minutes."
After a short while Mrs. Leslie said
"It appears to me that this slow, unin
teresting man, whom every one counted
a bore, was—almost a hero. "
"Or altogether," replied .Tehn Leslie

There is comfort in the knowl-

Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the grei.t
kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid-
neys, liver, bladder aud every
part of the uricrry passages. It
corrects inability to holl urine
and scalding pain in panning it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times
doriug the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its won-
derful cures of the most distress-
ing cases. If you need a medi

These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste

The following extracts frcm the

of the protection which the statf
