She was an orphan and an heiress. She had been educated on rather a severe plan, and her education instead of softening her angularities of face and disposition, had intensified them. All tlie latent nobility' of her nature Avas smothered in the oppressive moral atmosphere in Ahich she had been reared. An relative had impressed upon her mind from her earliest youth that nomaiiAAould caut marry' a person of her facial and mental obliquities except for her money, and she was exhorted to be thankful that providence had not altogether forgotten n up to our room. I am glad Ave are out of that scrape, I gasped. Ellen smiled a peculiar smile. And I, too, she said. We Avent to bed again, and to sleep this time. The next morning the sun rose as usual; the cold gray of the morning toned down the high coloring of the midnight adventure, and the ordinary routine of Avoik began again Avith nothing out of the1 usual wa,v except that Ellen and both answered unprepared in German. The professor looked at us searchingly over his glasses. Whether or not our faces betrayed any unusual emotion. I cannot say, but I know my heart was throbbing in u Aery erratic manner. It was our secret, that cseapa.de. Sometimes Ave met Mr. Kimball and his wife, for they seam'd to bo inseparable, and Ellen Avould flash me a glance of mock tragedy from her black eyes.

Ellen contemplated her last sentence with the complete understanding of a woman aa hose married life had been much more than the fulfillment of tlie hopes of her betrothal. Yps, she forgot it, and herself. She forgot that she avus plain angular and unlovely'. She knew only that she was loved and beloved. One man had penetration enough to see through the reserves with which she had hedged herself about, and to discover a sensitive, loving, noble nature behind this environment. They were married. Unfortunately, her husband was poor and handsome, but they lived a- whole year in Paradise, and then the serpent introduced to ob.-wurit- A dozen years later Ellen Fay, now Ellen Thompson, came to make me a visit. The slender, girl had developed into a handsome matron Much of what Ave used to call spirituality lmd vanished from her fern, but it had gained in strength and repose, and she Avas the same genial, delightful friend as of old. One evening we denied ourselves tc all our little world, and safely hidden behind the portiere of the study, Ave thought Ave could devote ourselves to reminiscences. Both our lives full and busy and the had been present had so fully' occupied us that Ave had not spared an hour to those dear days of our early friendship until this evoniug, Avhen avo deliberately-barrebig-eye- d himself. One day she overheard a pretty little woman exclaim, Heavens, hoAV could so handsome a man marry so ugly a Avonian? Her husband heard it, too, anil turned to her Avith some laughing remark upon his lips, but lie did not utter it. No doubt I looked ugly enough at that moment to have justified any comparison, she said. She insisted upon their home and seeking new assoleaving ciations. Then they came to C . Her husband cared lor her Avith the most tender affection, thinking this sudden change must he due to some derangement of the nervous system. He consulted physicians. Those who Avere shrewd enough to discover the truth, dared not tell him their conclusions. The demon of jealously was aroused and all the peace offerings made but added fuel to the angry flames. She hail given all. It Avas one daring venture of her lifeand she deemed that it had failed.

Is there a sequel? I asked incredulously. Yes, there is a sequel, and a very' remarkable one. You may call it a coincidence, if you like, but I must confess to have felt a sort of creeping sensation when I heard it. About two years ago I met a lady at a dinner party' whose fare seemed strangely familiar but whose identity was completely lost.

Tlie life of the French galley slaves of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been thus described by Admiral dela Graviere: They place seven men on each bench, that is to say', in a space ten feet long byr four feet wide. They are so packed away that you can see nothing from' stern to Iioav but the heads of the sailors. The captain and the officers are not much better off. When the seas overtake the galleys, Avhen the north Avind Loan Is along the coast, 01 Avhen the sirocco dampens the passengers with its deadly moisture, all these make the galley unendurable.
