William Stewart had It an understood fact that his son was lo marry his partner's daughter, and now just from fancy for a pretty face to have his plane so completely blown to pieces was anything but agreeable. The bride's father had also objected, but for a different reason, he feared that bis gentle little daughter would not t„» happy with such swell city folks, till she assured him that her visits to her cousin in the <iiy had prepared her for Just as she was going to. Besides she fell assured that Mrs. Stewart would welcome ber wilb open arms. Mrs. Stewart did receive ber and with many kind and tactful suggestions regarding dress and manner enabled tier lo become very popular in their This, together with her youth and beauty, bad Bomewbal mollified the elder Stewart's resentment lis son's wile, so Wesley Stewart smiled triumphantly as with proud and happy eyes bt beheld her many little victories.

She had nol even answered his letter written as 6 i after the accident as he was able, imploring her forgiveness and return. The reason he had received no reply he was 1111 able to guess, for he did not know that bis fathel upon receiving it to post bud carefully opened il and believing he was acting for the best, had cut Hie letter in two and had sent only that portion I hat told Kose that her husband intended leaving the country. Finally recovering sufficient Strength to travel, he determined to see his wife and prevailed upon his father to accompany him, though much against his will, where they found Kose slowly recovering from a severe sickness.
