How much will it cost?” inquired
Mr. Whitman. There was another effort
to look cheerful and acquiescent.
“About forty dollars,” was answered,
with just a little faltering in the lady’s
voice, for she knew the sum would
sound extravagant.

“If I only knew what that letter con
tained,” she said, half an hour after it
had come in, her mind still feeling the
men pressure which had come down upon it
80 strangely as it seemed to her.
She went to the mantel piece, took
np the letter, and examined the super
scription. It gave her no light Steadily
it kept growing upon her that its con
tents were of a nature to trouble her
husband.
“He’s been a little mysterious of late,”
she said to herself, This idea affected
her very unpleasantly. “He grows more
silent and reserved,” she added, as
thought, under a kind of feverish ex
citement, became active in a new direc
tion. “More indrawn, as it were, and
less interested in what goes on around
Kim. His coldness chills me at times,
and his irration hurts me.”
She drew a long, deep sigh. Then,
with an almost startling vividness,
came before her mind, in contrast, her
tender, loving, cheerful husband of
three years before, and her quiet, sober
faced. husband of to-day.
“Something has gone wrong with
him, she said alond, as feeling grew
stronger. “What can it be ?”
The letter was in her hand.
“This may give me light.” And with
careful fingers she opened the envelope,
not breaking the paper, so that she

Mrs. Whitman, with feeling trembling

Mrs. Whitman drew her veil over her
face, and went, with light steps and a

watch was not to be compared with that
