QUEENIE.
“It’s a poor time to croak, darling, on
the very eve of your wedding,” said
.Mrs. Mint urn, looking down at the
..... im, i.agic uii uci
chestnut lK , ’i le ^ liair t .°^.. ; “but, Wlt oh, iL Queeuie, do
you realize how serious is the responsi
bility which rests with you ?”
“Does not my name answer for roe,
auntie?” laughingly replied the girl.
“Did you not all give it to me, declaring
this was my little kingdom ? Have j I
not ruled you all perfectly ? And now, .
because I am to have one more loyal,
more devoted subject, must you doubt ?”
“H is because, darling, it all seems so
light a thing to you, that this foreboding
weighs on me. Greatly as I admire
Vance Mitchell, proud as 1 shall be of
my nephew, with his splendid talents
and his handsome face, I can but re
member the time (forgive me pet 1) when
he came so near throwing them and
himself away, and squandering the
Your upon him.
love saved and redeemed him then,
I do not doubt its power now, or ever.
I only wonder whether, if the dark hours
should arise again, you would have
strength darling, to be still patient, and
remember it is a wife’sduty to bear all.”
“As if Vance enuid do wrong again !
Oh, auntie, it is unkind in you to shadow
this hour with that remembrance !”
Tears stood in tlie bright blue eyes,
but the older woman stooped and kissed
them » wa y> blinking what lleeting,
perishable things they were, how near
the surface, how different from the
heart-tears which sear and burn, and
^ave their indellible impress. And,
moment after, all sorrow was forgotten,
as the eyes, flashing now, dwelt on the
case of jewels she had received as her
wedding gift.
Worthy they were the white neck and
arms of the next day’s bride. Queenie
Clayton had said truly. She lmd reigned
in her own kingdom her life long—
rcigr)e< | wilfully always, imperiously at
. tj mer, but with subjects that loved her

she was so proud so fond of Her
handsome husband, as she stood by his
side, a seeming snow-drop in her white
satin robes, receiving the congratula
tions of their many friends; and after
ward it was like some wonderful dream,
»nd«verj»tere.
Then there was the home-coming,
That was sweet, too; and the beautiful
new home, her father’s gift was furn
ishecl throughout by his most generous
hand.
“Vance dear,” she said one returned] morning,
a few weeks after they had
“can’t I have my own carriage ? I hate
to be always sending for father’s, and
I’m tired of walking.”

“Whv Vance we are rich ar« we
not , And I want it so much 1”
“W e are certainly not poor, dear
only it does not do for a young man to
branch out too much. And you know,
darling, there was a wild time in my
life, people have not quite forgotten.”
“But I do not care for people, Vance.
This is for me, not you.”
The young husband answered noth
ing; but the next day Mrs. Mitchell’s
ponies stood before the door.
She had said truly she was to have
only one more loyal, more devoted sub
ject. Vance Mitchell’s love for his
wife grew with each passing hour. lie
remembered hers always as the hand
that had checked him in his downward
path, and yet she seemed so fragile, so
slight a thing, beside his manly
strength, that it was as though some
precious plaything had been intrusted to
his care.
So the years passed on, and one by one
two baby subjects were added* to the
kingdom-two lovely baby boys, with
their father’s eyes, their mother’s sunny
hair—only the queen bent now before
her subjects. She was the adorer—they J
the adored *
The home circle was radiant with
happiness, and Vance Mitchell’s past,

were forgotten. But is there ever a
cloudless sky ?
“You loook tiYed Vance” “Shall’ said
Queenie, one evening. I send
the children away ?”
“No, dear !” drawing them closer as
he spoke. “They rest rather than tire
me; but business has been more trouble
some latelv. There are so many failures
that we freely know whom to trust.”
“Oh, don’t talk business to me,
Vance! You know I never could

Thus he reasoned, laying all blame, In
