A TAli OF PASSION BY M. L. S. f CHAPTER III. f THE CHEATED HUSBAND. I Some weeks had passed since the arrival of pr. Boyd at the delightful residence of Mr .nd Mrs. Ellerton. The slight feeliDg of new. sesa and awkwardness which apparently oppres. ed him at first, had worn off and be was to all t welcome, companion, , .Each one sympathized frith him and were ready to render ail possible issistance in becoming established in the city, ind while many little blunders which were attributable to his misfortune afforded them sniuseiuent, he regained a true position so quick Ind gracefully, that he excited the admiration Mall: . : ..' ; I To the timid Maleen, he ever addrscd him self with devotion and tenderness, yet so skillful ly were his attention managed, that in that free. social circle they passed unnoticed. The even Jngshe usually spent at the boarding house, and geuerallj managed to sit . beside Maleen, cut Jicr pencils and arrange her patterns when draw, ng, select beads when she was working tbenr r arrange the colors for her embroidery;" Oc casionally, too, he would present her a beautiful flower to copy, which were all found some months afterwards neatly pressed between the leaves of a splendid album. . . i mic naa never Deer, so entirely nappy, and jet, when she (questioned horself she could as - 1 . m i ' "V . . i Bign no particular reason. j.ne iaea oi attnDu ting it to the graceful attentions Of the Doctor, never occurred to her and if it had, would have ieeu quickly banished She was apparently the same as when she came; it was' only in' the lilent depths of "her heart that his presence brought any change, and , a knowledge of- it, though at pn sent bidden from her, was revealed jail too soon for her peace j Mrs. Gastone was as usujw occupied with 4 book, though the same- one had so many even ing' been open before her, that tfcr husband jtUiy fully suggested that she "was committing it memory.' She turew it down, declaring hut she had "just finished tit," and devoted the Having drant it, they continued their con versation, during which it was stated by Mrs. Gastone that aware of the absolute engagement of her husband, during the afternoon,' she had purposely sent away her woman, who would remain till neatly dark. "You are indeed my angel," exclaimed, the Doctor in a subdued tone. "A month is an eternity to wait, when one's love is so neat, for an interview, a kiss and an embrace. But . - i how do I succeed in playing the mute?" "Quite to perfection," replied Bella, nestling in his arms as if it were her true resting place instead of guilty love which they only labored to, conceal "but I have often trembled lest you should expose the deception when suddenly addressed." v I " ! "It is often a great effort, but I have practic ed occasionly ever Eince we parted. But- for the future J dearest Bella, will you not visit me in my office ? You can go to the opposite street, and a narrow entry leads directly to my apart ment; will you not meet me there?" . The lady hesitated. An uncontrolled passiou had hitherto led her on, and whether or not she was conseious of the fact, it was impossible for her either to retrace her steps, or to cease to advance in the course she had chosen; in the presence of her lover particularly, she was a wake that her will, at other times powerful, was wholly subjected to his. "Whenever his dark, penetrating eye rested upon her, a thrill ran through every vein, producing a sweet, languid submissiveness. At. the moment of 1 . .1 receiving this proposal it created a slight feel ing of indelicaey and degradation; but impel led by the most engrossing passion, she consent ed, j "When?" he asked. ; After a slight hesitation, she replied, "When I present a rose from that, beautiful bush to Maleen- at breakfast, you may know that in the course of my morning's shopping I will look : .,1 The lover turned and looking steadily into her deep, liquid eyes, now deeper aad more li quid than ever, till an electric thrill ran from head to foot, asked in an earnest, decided tone, "Are we the same to each other that we were ? Have we met bn the same terms as those on which we parted ?" "The same,! whispered Bella, now wholly un der his influence, and yielding without further resistance to her overwhelming passion. ! am yours in heart and soul, beyond the power of crushed and desolate heart eve regain itt power and elasticity ? Will the bruised flower again rear its head to the smiling sunbeam V "Oh, Bella ! mean you this ?" said her lover in a slightly reproachful voice,, appearing for the first time to comprehend her. "y "Do you shrink?" she asked in "a firm tcne "If so, we can yet part." "Ilavel ever hesitated to obey your wishes? -The future will be as the past." "It is well. I trust you," she replied, and indulging in a parting cmbiace he left her. Half an hour afterwards, Mr. Gastone enter ed the room where his lady lay very quietly up on the sofa apparently in a sound sleep. The oafeless attitnde, the regular breathing, the slightly parted lips- all conveyed the idea of a gentle repose. "She is recovering I ice; well, I must confess I have a good deal of faith in the silent Doctor. I will patronize him," and stooping over, he kissed her tenderly. He could never exactly satisfy himself how it was, but a his lips came in contact with hers, be fancied a cold shudder ran through her ftame. She open ed her eyes slowly and feebly. "When did the physician leave ?" he in quit- "An hour since," she replied. "He had en gagements from which I fear be allowed his benevolence to detain him too long." her ta enjoy as long as she pleased, the fuhicm. able watcriog place. Few would have dreamed that this vis a re sort far the tick and weary, from the splendid dresses and gay equipages that constantly prom enade the streets, and from the sounds of mirth and revelry which proceeded from the cotly salooos. Bat beneath this gay exterior and amid the music and merimcct were concealed many a pain racked body, as well as desolate and aching heart. Mrs. Gastone mingled very little with the Saratoga world, for her proud and paioato natnre demanded exclusive homage, and by it she stas unfitted for a social every day life. There had been for a long time in her mind a growing dislike to her husband. She was ex tra.Ai.it, knew nothing of the common labor of life, and had no idea of the uie of money but to spend it freclj. He was on the contrary aa "At this ahrine only, will I worship.

For three days be came not and many went the inquiries made for bim. His office was closed and it was supposed that he bad sudden ly left town. Upon the evening of the fourth day, Maleen sat in solitude in her own room. The dress of the usually fastidious girl was negligent ; ber ringlets were brushed back in a plain band and tears dimmed and saddened her eyes. She held in her hand a delicate note, the writing of which was evidently disguised. Its contents were these. "My dear .Vi7een," "Suffer me, though nearly a stranger, to address you with all the familiarity of the affection I really feel for you. There is on near you a being of higher, no bler order than the common mould, whose life is wasting under the pressure cf ardent love for you. He has never before loved, and his soul's whole power is merged in this passion. He lived together the greater were the barriers which existed between them.

These symptoms of agitation passed unnoticed, and Returning the slate, she quietly withdrew to her own room. I The next day at dinner, Mr. Gastone observed that his wife suddenly grew pale, and catching ier in his arms to prevent her from falling, scut, immediately after her salts ; she revived little but stilt continuing very ill, he conveyed ,her to her own apartment and hastily adminis tered every ordinary restorative- . Fcarins that Jher illnoss would prove serious, he went down and begged the doctor, who was just preparing jto go out, to go up and ascertain if all was right Laying aside his hat and cloak, he quickly followed Mr. G. - Aftei an apparently minute investigation, he .wrote that there was "some serious internal dicarrngement, which could be remedied by a medicine he had with him, hut that it must be administered by an experi enced hand, in quantities exactly varying with the changing symptoms, otherwise it would be attended with danger." ; Mr. Gastone was puzzled by this unfortun ate attack. He looked atbis watch, and then at I his wife who . lay ill' and suffering upon the sofa. I He hastily- wrote ;that "in five minutes he must meet a positive engagement, that Cather ine had gone out with the children to remain two or three hours, and with ' many apologies begged the physician to remain and administer the medicine, as he dared not under , auch " cir cumstances, commit her to the care of one of the servants." Dr. Boyd politely assented, and getting the necessary articles, gave her two drops from a tinv vial, meanwhile watching iatensely the deathly features and feeble pulse of his patient. . - Pressing his lips to the unoccupied hand of bis wife, and commending her to the Doctor's kindest care, he left the room and aoon. after the house. As soon as the door closed upon Mr. Gastone, D,r. Boyd unfastened the loose dress in which the lady had been hastily robed, and drew forth a small muslin bag containing a powder. Then pouring out a gla$a of wine, he whispered raising her in his arms. "Bella, my own sweet Bella, take this." She swallowed it, an languidly -opening her eyes, threw herself into his arms. "Has not our ruso succeeded finely!", he asked in a gay and confiding tone still 1 holding her closely and kissing her forehead. : V "Hk i .t . i- ,i - j uujcs sue repiiea.

Why, Bella, do yoa urge this upon me? It is a difficult task for me to deceive."

I wish it were ended," be continued, as if ia a mournful reverie, "life without those smiles were worse than death." She drew her haad painfully across bcr brow and asked in a subdued tone, "Seek you a heart which has been shackelod by the forms and cercmoaic of the world V "Xever, I would have oae who bright fountain of lore ha never been sullied by the reflection of another's imsge, whom; sympathies are yet fresh and undeveloped withia it, aad whose power and intensity of loving is sach that it will subdoe ever) obstacle between it self and the loved one."
