[By Speoial Arrangement, Copyright] HER AfONEMENT, By FLORA MACDONALD. Author of A Guilty Conscience." Ladi-i IRna,' "A Woman's Love," lie., Ac. At last it was finished. Grace Armstrong1 Suns the ball dress upon the bed with a weary sigh. She had sat up all night work- ing, so that her young miistregs should be the belle of the ball. It was quite a select affair, got up amongst those who considered themselves the elite of the town. It had been the talk of the place for the last month, and now that it was really coming off. every one outside the charmed circle was on the alert to have a good view of the favoured few. Lady Green- wood had sent. out the invitations, and, although her yearly income was only a few hundreds, she never for one moment forgot that she possessed a title, that blue blood ran in her veins, tuid that ehe was as far removed from the ordinary run of humanity as the stare from the earth. Lady Greenwood was no favourite with the good citizens of R-. for she had shown, by her actions, that she was not above talking. and even being very friendly with one of the common run if he possessed gold enough. There had just arrived in the neighbour- hood a retired manufacturer, reputed to be actually rolling in wealth. He was aocompa-nied by his only son. They had rented one of the finest houses in the whole Lpiace, and the first to call on them was Lady Greenwood. She it was who suggested this ball, and whenever she took an idea into her head she generally carried it out. Her daughter was eighteen, and this young man was twenty-three, so why should not birth be allied to riches? Raaie Greenwood was in every respect quite different from her member, in whose plans she had taken no interest. She had looked forward to this ball as a. night of pleasure, f and did not trouble her dainty little bead with laying traps of any kind. No thoughts of love or marriage had yet troubled her, and it was with a keen childish delight that she arranged herself in the finery prepared for her. Rocie was of medium height, with a little supple figure. and an abundance of light wavy hair. Her blue-grey eyes seemed to plead with you to be friends, and the general ex- pression of her sweet face betokened inno- cence and purity. She was her father's child, and this was what troubled poor Lady Green- wood. Rosie, in her opinion, was so common, had such strange ideas. and could never com- port herself with dignity. She was accused of allowing her inferiors in birth to taJk too familiarly with her. They did not accord her the deference due to her high station. Roeie was sorely troubled by her mother's lectures?. Xo one prized their good name and honour more than she did, and had anyone ventured to overstep the bounds of good breeding, she would have been the first to resent it. Rosie was but a girl, with all a girl's fail- ings and fondnees of gaiety and fun. She was dull enough when confined to the school- room, and, now that she was out," she determined to make the most of her time, and get as much enjoyment ae possible. It was the evening of November 23th, and carriage after carriage rolled up to the town- hall. deposited its fair burden, and then made way for others. Two gentlemen arrived late, for the ball was J in full swing when Mr. Grierson and his son Edward entered. After exchanging greetings with a few acquaintances, Edward turned to watch the dancers. There passed just close to him the daintiest, sweetest little lady he ever saw. She raised a pair of laughing. mischievous eyes to her admirer's face, and was then lost to view. She had no idea who this gentleman was, for Lady Greenwood had been wise enough to keep her counsel to her- self. She did not wish to spoil things by being too precipitate. "Well, there's a charming girl," he re- i marked, eotto voce, as he made his way to, the otiifcr end of the ballroom. lIe managed to secure an introduction, and a few dances followed. I did not know you were M?ss ROBie, abont t whom I have heard so much. I trust we I Khall be good friends," and Edward Grierson Pressed the hand of his partner a little tightly when he said good-night. Edward Grierson felt the power of wealth. In his native county he was considered a lucky young man. He had made his own name in literature, and his father had made thousands for him in business. He loved his profession, and gave himself wholly up to it. He was not what men call a. genius, but he had rare talents and the happy knack of put- ting them to the best use. Ms writings pleased the popular taste- His father had made money in the manufacture of sewing- cotton, and as he had never married again after his wife's death, Edward was his only heir. and, the old man hoped, his successor. But this rising young man had a horror of business and everything connected with it. It wu impossible, he told his father, for him to become overseer over the works, for he hated the very sound of machinery. He loved the profession he had adopted, and 36 he was successful in what he tried, and found it congenial to his tastes, he meant to stick to it. No one guessed that this quiet young man was to prove the leading novelist ?-, tL day. He wrote under an assumed name, and when in company nothing pleased him more than to listen to the various criticisms on his latest work. He began to feel that he was really a power for good or evil among his fellow-men, and he determined to make all his writings as pure and instructive as possible. But now, since he had met Rosie Green- wood, new life seemed too spring up in his breast. If he sought fame it should be for her sweet sake. He would pursue his work with double energy, he would diffuse more life into it; in short he determined to be more worthy of the praise he bad found showered upon him; he felt that he was capable of doing good work, but he wanted an impetus and now he had found it. He was deeply attached to this fair young girl-b9 cared not for her birth or wealth. He would have loved her quite as much had she been a street singer, or a poor dress- maker. He had not believed it possible for him to love so deeply until be had met this ideal of womanhood- If the public were pleased with his former works his latest work eclipsed all. It was a gigantic success, and edition alter edition had to he turned out to meet the demand. • *•»* Five years of married life had passed pleasantly. Edward loved his wife even more than he did on that fair June morning, when he vowed to her "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer." Rosie learnt from her husband's lips the tale of his successes. She was very proud of him, but never told him so. She began to feel a trifle disappointed with her married life; true, her husband was always tender and affectionate; she wanted for nothing. and they, perhaps, had fewer disputes during those years than most young married people could boast of. Yet Rosie was not satisfied. She felt that, notwithstanding the years they had spent together, they were "Strangers yet." Edward Grierson loved his wife, but he also 16ved his work; the creation of his brain. When the inspiration seized him he would suddenly leave his wife, retire to his study and lock the door. Rosie knew from expe- rience that that was the signal for peace. It was her duty to see that he was not dis- turbed. He could not work unless he were quite alone and away from all noise. Some- times he would do this for days in succession, and not appear until the dinner hour each evening. All this vexed the young wife, who felt her- self slighted. She could not understand that her husband was unable to write to order- that if he neglected to Eeize the supreme moment when thoughts shaped and clothed themselves in his brain he would be lost to his art. The fajue be had gained would vanish like a breath. He was nothing if not original, and in one way only could he keep up his reputation. Rosie's nature was one of activity. She hated the long, dreary hours she was obliged to spend alone. She felt she had put up with her husbands peculiarity quite long enough. What was the good of the wealth he showered upon her, of their lovely, almost magnificently-appointed home, if she had to pass her days in solitary grandeur. She had nothing to do—her servants did her bid- ding—her husband was engrossed in his work, and only she found iime ha-cg heavily on her hands. She wanted society—company of some sort way a necessity to her life. She knew her husband did not care for it, but she deter- mined to entert&in her friends royally and go out whenever the opportunity presented itself. It was n6 use asking her husband to, accompany her. He had repeatedly said he could find no time to waste in frivolity. 1 So, by degrees, did these two young lives begin to dritt apart. It was a little breach which stormy words gradually widened until at last busbaod and wife saw very little of each other. Rosie entered the whirl of fashionable life. and was once more the gay, light-hearted girl of yore. She had chosen a companion in the wife of a barrister, whose reputation was certainly not one of the best. At all social gatherings they were in prominent positions, and. of course, found a few friends and a good many enemies. And so time fled, and with it the love which. had linked two fond hearts together. They saw very little of each other now, and, since they had followed their separate desires, there seemed to be mutual contentment. Edward was deeply grieved. He knew his wife was fond of company, and that it was his duty to accompany her; but he could not tear himself away from his imaginary friends, with whom he spent the greater part of his time. At first, when they began to take different roads in life, they usually met at dinner; but now Rosie had engagements to dine out, and her husband was obliged to excuse her. In her quiet moments she sometimes won- dered if this state of affairs could last. She began to imagine that her husband never could have loved her, or he would have tried to ploase her. It never occurred to her that she might have made a few advances to him. showed some interest in his wort, and even helped him over many difficulties. She led him to believe ,ast?- -ful t(, lie,- -?nd that his work was distasteful to her. and although the papers rang with his praises, and his enemies and friends alike were loud in their commendation of his work, his wife alone gave scant encouragement. She looked upon herself as a martyr to her husband's preju- dices, and showed less and iess interest in anything he did. But the turn of the tide was at hand. News which had sent a thrill of horror through thousands of hearts had reached Edward Grierson. The city bank had stopped payment. It had closed its doors against those who had a right to demand admission. The news spread like wildfire. and soon a crowd had gathered in I front of the building; but of what avail? Curses loed and deep were uttered by strong men pale with agitation and fright. Trembling women were there, mute and wild-looking in their despair, who rung their hands and turned sadly away. An old gentleman had just arrived on the scene, and with difficulty elbowed his way to the window and read the notice posted thereon. lie uttered not a word, but hailed a cab and drove off. Edward Grierson was busy, as usual, in his sanctum, but a visit from his father was so unusual that he hastened to meet him. He took the news quietly, but the colour of his face betrayed him. "Eosie—what about Eosie; how will she feel it?" said the old man, in a voice now quiver- ing with excitement Edward could not answer. H:, could not tell hi" father of the strained relatione between them. It would only hurt the old man. and d.) no good. Se, he passed the matter off. r.cooie returned late that night, and went quitily to her rcom. She had just returned from a ball, and felt very tired. Her maid had evidently gone to sleep, so she took off her dress and flung it on a chair She began to feel that all was vanity; that sae could not find satisfaction even in the gay life into which she had plunged. She tried to go to sleep that night, but in vain. Some powerful instinct seemed to warn her that something was wrong; aud yet it was too late to try and find out. Her husband, She -was sure, was asleep a.s usual. But she thought she would n-ake cure. J. lighting a candle, she went quietly vo hi., room. It was empty. A sadden fear shot through her heart. and a wave of cold perspiration passed over her. Where could he be? There was not a sound, in the house. and it was an eerie hour to wander about; yet, with boldness born of despair, she walked down to the study. She tried the door. It was locked. She knocked timidly, and then louder, but to no purpose. Then she called out if she might g,) in. She htard something which sounded like o But, in reality, it was only a groan. And with a fall heart, she went back to her room. For the first time she began to realise all she had lost. Her husband's love had gone from her. She had trampled upon it and cafrt. it aside in her vain pursuit after fleeting pleasures. Oh! that she could recall the years that were gone. She had found when too late that sha had made a mistake. She had proved the trutfe of the words, that Pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower, the bloom is shed." She went to bed. resolved to make her peace with her husband in the morning. She found tha-t she loved him better than ought else, and that. in doing her duty robly, fche would find happi- ness. But when the morrow came, the study door had to be forced open. There, with his head between his hands, and hi;; elbows on the table, sat the man whose praise was ringing through the land. He was (lead Beside him lay his unfinished work. Rosie gazed in spechleas horror. She did not scream or titter a word. She stood gazing before her like a marble statue. Then the doctors entered. They gently moved the still figure, and carried him to a. bedroom. At once they examined him, and the anxious wife, who sat in the dining-room below, waiting for their verdict, felt her strength gradually oozing away. When the doctor appeared he found her quite unoon- scicus. For days she lay in a high fever, and it was thought that she would soon follow her husband. But life came back to her slowly, and she was glad. Not that there was any bright pros- pect before her. Indeed, she hardly dared to think of the future. In the long, weary days of convalescence. her mind would continualtly dwell on the days that were gone. She reproached herself sadly for her utter want of thought in those days. And then her husband's sudden death-from heart disease—had chilled her very life. Three months after Edward Grierson's grave had closed over him, Rosie, very weak and fragile-looking, went over her house to take farewell of all her pretty things. Not a sound broke the silence of the lovely rooms, save her own soft footfall. She gathered together a. few things prized by her husband, and, with, tender, loving care, packed them away. They, at least, should not pass into the hands of curious strangers. When she came to the -tady ail her courage seemed to forsake her. She had given orders that nothing was to be touched in the room. and had forgotten about it. The shock seemed almost too much for her, an4d she had to clutch at a chair to steady herself. Every- thing lay just as he had left it on that fate- ful night; even his typewriter was uncovered, as if he had just left off work. She picked up the manuscript and began to read it. Before she had gone far she had made up her mind to complete her husband's un- finished work. It was the last he should ever give to the world, and it would comfort her to know that she had aided in its production. If her husband had only taken her in his confidence, and allowed her to share his work, all the troubles which assailed them might have been avoided. But he treated her as one quite unfit to stand the strain of work. She lost not time in engaging a typist, and for several weeks she worked harder than she had ever done in her life before. She dictated the whole story, supplied omissions, and made corrections where she found it neces- sary. She soon began to like the work, and was so engrossed in it that she hardly wished to leave off. Shs was genuinely sorry when it was finished, for it had kept her employed. Many of her old friends called, but she refused to see them all. The gay outside world should know her no more. The following days were filled up with making arrangements for her departure. The publishers had taken the book in hand, and she left the whole matter with them. She had finished her work of love, and felt better for it. It was a cold November morning when Roeie left the home she had learntd to love, never to return. Lady Greenwood begged of her to make her home with her. Bat she would not, neither would she listen to the pleading of old Mr. Grierson. She told him what she had done with the unfinished work. and how she had directed the publishers to send all profits to him. The old man. sorely shaken through his misfortunes, was grateful to his daughter-in-law. His son's sudden death in the height of his fame was ead, very sad, but it was consoling to know that many thou- sand hearts, in concert with his own, mourned the early death of one so gifted.
