There was invitation in tbe word oaly, none in tbe voice of Mrs. L. Andrew aroae and went to tbe table. He was tempted to speak an angry word, but controlled himself, and kept eilenee. He eould find no fault with the ehop, nor the sweet home made bread, nor tbe fra grant tea. They would have cheered bis inward man, if there had only been a gleam of sunshine on tbo face of his wife. He notieed that she did Bot eat. "Are you not well, Mary !" The words were on his lips', b".t be did net utter them, for tbe face of hid wife looked ao repellant, that he feared an irrilatiag reply. And so, in moody eilenee, the twain eat together until Andrew bad finished bis supper.
