“A very pretty sight or spectacle, either,” I said, gathering my wits to- gether. :

“Don’t let Aunt Hepzibah prejudice you against me at the start,” whispered Ethel.

Karly the next morning Ethel and I were

quietly married at the village church, and started at once {or the little town on the Connecticut River which was to be our future home. Our route lay through some of thks finest nery of the region, and I had enjoyed the prospect of showing it to Ethel; bu‘ took scarcely any notice of it.

“Oh, Mark, don’t bother me about scenery,” she said when I tried to attract her attention toit. ‘‘Aunt Hepzibah was always bothering me about it, and saying that I oucht to .

“Ought to what?” I asked, as she stopped abruptly.

“Ought te-appreciate it, I suppose,” said Ethel. ‘And I couldn’t; and I was ashamed that I could’nt; and don’t, please don’t you begin with it too.”

I was a little disappointed, I must con- fess. One of the few points which Aunt Hapzibah and I had in common was a deep and genuiue love of nature, and [had hoped that Ethel, too, would share it. But the pleading pathos in her tones and the suspi- cion of tears in her eyes would have soften- ed a harder heart than mine.

Whatever Aunt Hepzibah’s failings may have been, she had certainly succeeded in making Ethel an excellent housekeeper.

So far as I could see, Ethel was a perfect hostess. Her greeting to my old friend was hearty, without being gushing, and her bearing was a pretty mixture of ea friendliness, and dignity. So I thought, and so at first did my friends seem to think, and Kthel bade fair to be the most popular in the town. But gradually a change came. Certainly Ethel sometimes showed an obtuseness which surprised me. It was natural, perhaps, that she should, apropos of some case reported in the daily papers, begin to discuss the alarming fre- quency of trauds and embezzlements. As

[am awfully sorry, but really I don’t think it was my fault, after all. You should have warned me. People with brothers in such a predicament ought not to go about the world to get other people into trouble.”

[ might have been shocked by her levity had I not seen that it was really a veil for her mortification. But I saw that there was no use in prolonging the conversation while she was in her present mood.

George Herndon ceased to be numbered among our visitors after that, at which I did not greatly wonder. But what did sur- prise me was that so many of my old friends followed his example. It seemed hardly possible that they could resent his wrongs to such an extent, yet that was the only solution of which I could think. When I met them on the street, or elsewhere, they were as friendly as ever, but when I asked why they had not been to see us late- ly, 1 met only evasive answers. It was a complete puzzle. If I asked Ethel, she only turned upon me eyes of limpid inno- cence, and professed herself ignorant of any cause for such defection.

My bewilderment ceased on the day when, coming hastily from the house to which I had unexpectedly returned during business hours, I met Ethel coming towards it. Iad- mired her light step, her graceful carriage, the easy and dignified poise of her head. But as we met, face to face, my admiration suddenly gave place to blank amazement. For, instead of the bright surprised look

and quick eager smiles which I had confi- dently expected, [ met only a _ va- cant Stare from eyes gazing apparently straight into mine. For an instant I stood transfixed, then I wheeled suddenly and followed her.

“Ethel ! I said, as we reached our door.

She looked up with the bright quick glance I knew so well, but, for once, I met it coldly.

‘May I ask,” I said, formally, ‘‘in what I have had the misfortune to offend

ou 2”

: Ethel’s smile faded suddenly, and she looked at me with a gasp of consternation and amazement.

‘Offend me? You? can you mean ?”

“Only that you cut me dead in the street just now, and it.is fair to suppose that there is some reason for it. If you have been treating all my friends in this way, I don’t wonder that they cease to visit us. Ethel, if you are near sighted, why on earth don’t you get glasses, and not go blundering about the world in this fashion ?”

But instead of euswering, Ethel burst into a flood of tears.

“Oh, Mark ! Oh, Mark !” she sobbed. “That is just it. I was always so afraid

ou’d find it out, and I’ve tried so hard o hide it, And now you'll be like Aunt Hepzibah, and want me to wear—Oh !— spéctacles.”

“But, my dear child,” I cried, half laugh- ing, ‘‘you need not wear spectacles. Eye- glasses are all you need, and they are not at all unbecoming.”

“Oh, Mark, you don’t know !” wailed Ethel, despairingly. ‘‘How could I ever wear glasses with such a nose ? Just look at it !’ And a little white nose, sadly pink- tipped now, was raised from the damp handkerchief and held np for my inspec- tion. Well, it certainly was a very ridicu- lous little nose. It was not at all aggres- sive, and lookeg well enough between the dark long-lashed eyes and aboye the little red-lipped mouth, but I saw at a4 guanes that it was not at all adapted for the com- fortable wearing of glasses, being child- ishly deficient in bridge, as well as ‘‘tip- tilted.” ;

“But, my dear child,” I said, as sternly as I could, “this despair is ridiédlois Of course glasses to fit you can feund, and if not—”

"But they can’t<thay can’t, Mark!” wailed Ethel. ‘4 ve tried all kinds. They pinch dreadfully, and they always slip off at critical motnents, and they make my life @ fect misery. And Aunt- Hepzibah ‘ways said spectacles, and tow yok My it too, and, oh, spectacles make ie look a regular guy !” ,

“New, Ethel, stop all this,” I said, in ‘earttest this time. ‘I can’t have you spoil- ‘ie your eyes and your beauty like this. Besides, Iam hungry, quite exhausted in fact. How can you have the heart to see

After the meal was over, seeing that Ethel had regained her composure, I re-

eee

the reluctant promise that she would try to bring her mind to the wearing of spectacles at least occasionally.

*‘But remember, Mark,” she said, in con- clusion, “if ever you, for a single minute, are brought to acknowledge that near- sightedness is a good thing, that minute I discard my spectacles, at once and forever.”

**And, conversely,” I said, ‘if you are ever brought to acknowledge that near- sightedness is a bad thing, you promise to wear them constantly?”

“Not at all,” said Ethel. “I never denied that it was a misfortune. I only said that it is not an unmitigated evil, and that it might be better to endure its incon- veniences than to make a guy of one’s self.”

I was well enough satisfied to say no more, being quite sure that Ethel’s own common-sense would triumph in the end.

The spectacles had been duly bought, but Ethel had not yet been able to bring her mind to the wearing of them. I suppose it does require some moral courage for a pretty young girl to disfigure herself, even for her own good, It struck me that it would be easier for her to begin where no- body could see her, which was one of my reasons for taking her out driving on that bright, breezy autumn day. Our road lay along a ridge, from which we looked down over acres of billowing greenery to where the Connecticut River flashed like a sap- phire far below. Above us arched a sky washed clear of every film, over which the
