There is alwai -i beginning to en end. What it was in the case rf Mr. and Mrs. Hicks -Brown I do not pretend to know. What I know mot about ia the end and the appendix. Of course all the dif. ferencra leading up to the last act were thoroughly sired in court and in the nesp.ipers. but it was the final act of brutality on Mr. Hkka Brown's part that was csjrinilj dilated upon, and for' week thi "fiend in human form' was, execrated by dame aid damsels all over this broad lend, and Mrs. Hicks Brown ara an obje t of heartMt commiseration rn all aide. 1' am inclined to think that if Mr. Hit ks-Brown had hen more like the men who re hebl up as model hus bands by the knowing membera of certain ladiea' societies, he' and Mrs. Hicks Brown she whom only two short year! ince he had promised to love and cheri ish would b living in reace and amity, to say nothing of conjugal happiness, even unto this day; and if Mrs. Hicks Brown had bf-en anything but the only rhild of a very x'uh and foolishly indul gent papa, thing might have been differ. nt. But Mr. Hick Brown was jut as much need to having hia own way as wat bia" pretty spoue; and the natural result was family rows, more or less insi)jnill cant in character. At flrt Mr. Hicks Brown was inclined to give in, just as all dutiful hubbies are ;but he saw the shoals ol trouble on to which this cum was caus ing htm to drift, and con; luded, aftet nature consideration, that it waa his will that should dominate in the Hicks-Brown family, .z he fixed his plan of pro 'ciure and v 4 hi; actions accord- ingly. Mra. Htrks-Brown, with femi-. nine insiyh. perceived, at an early stage af the game, what her lord's intentioni were ; nnd, ns he had always been ac rnefomrd to have her own way, she de rided that it was too late to begin knock ing uncr and there you have what wae presumably the beginning of the end. It wa a nog not only a dog, but a, foung lady dog--not only a femali ranine. but what Mr. Hicks-Browi termed a "mra-dy, doggasted pug" thaj causcj the climax. If there was any creature on earthr that Mr. Hicks-Brown loathed and despised it was a pug. anq po ially one of the gentler sex, and hil Dcttcr hnlf. aware of thia antipathy, had, with characteristic feminine perversity, ivailed herself of the first opportunity t4 possca herself of one of those interest ng animals, which speedily won, i( lei iru-d, firt place in her affections and made Mr Hicks-Brown'a life miserable. He stood it, however, as long as h rould . but the end had to come. Mr. Hicks Brown was an architect, ind it ame to pas that he hid. on on. jccfion. been invited to prepare tha plan for a public building.

When Mr. lit ka Brown entered his len bout A oVIx k he s at nncf that portiooa of his plans were missing, and, l'iptxing that his wife had taken them to Vios me s iitor, he hurried down stairs. " "Where are .thse plans?" he aked. "What plans, dear?' softly inquired Mrs. Hicks Brown, slidins her caramel Into one rheek and still keeping on eye on a particularly thritlwig page of the yellow back novel in her lap. "What what plans i IV you mean to siv xou di-ln't take those Cai'irnet build Ine plan from my table?" aked Mr. Hick Bron in some agitation. h b'." said his pou.e. mildly sur pi. t. "Wht. it must have been tho,e. thst Vi had " . That Vic .had" howM Mr Hicka Hroisn. And p-av where are they POH " f .n get ijr.t .lsr Were they the an'hing in parMiur?

Hicks Brown would have rushed to recue ber ret, he took her bv the shoulders and, forced her info a chair, noting with grim aatisf action aa he did so that a couple of street arabe were making off with Vic. That day Mr. Hicka-Brown went hxme to her mother, and two weeks later the waa a memler of the divorce colony la a western city, aeeking freedom from matrimonial bonda on the ground of 'cruel and inhuman treatment," which she expected the court, when her caae wm presented, to understand aa having bee applied to he- instead of to Vic. Ia the aaate where Mr. Hieke-Brown ought her slirwce. it ulrw omly t&rM "month to establlah a residence, tad th legal formalities consume vyy littlj time; but, strange to say, Mrs. flicka, Brosm did not find it easy to past th time. The first three or four weeks, is her flurried state of mind, she did noj notice- but, after that, time passed vevj slowly, indeed. Strange aa it may aeem life ajart from Mr. Hicks-Brown wJ verv, very dull and lonely. Yes, shi "had been huty too hasty but thcri was noTturning back now. She had burned her bridges, and betidee. had ,ver a Lovedale retraced a etep ones) taken? No! And she held her pretty noe a little higher and tried to look haughtily don't-care ib. all the time feelfng very miserable. Indeed. Kvervthlng seemed to conspire to add to her load of sorrow. fhe waa pointed out on the street as a "colonist;' and. although she met, through the paetor of the hurch she attended and at the home of her attorney, marjy of the nicest people in the city, she was almost en tirely ignored in a social way and il galled her immeasurably. 8he, a Ive: dale yes, and a Hicks-Brown; for eveq if the man who had ttentowed the last name on her did work for a living, it was a name to be proud of to be o traned by thase insignificant country people, half the men among whom at. tended balls in Prince Albert or rut-awiy roata! The id! As if she cared! And ut she did care, a gTeat deal. And Mr. Hicka-Brown? He was work ing away as though fighting time. He never gave himself a moment, if he could help it, for thought. Not a word had rasaed between him and the Lovedale, amily since the dav his wife had flung herself out of theJiouse end returned to her parent". He heard she had pone w est for a divorce. and it made him wince, but he shut his mouth more tightly and went at hia work still harder. There were times when he had to think and, they were not pleasant times. There was one in particular. A few months before he had begun to build, unknown ' to his wife, a handsome new house in her fav orite suburb and the time came for him to occupy it, and 6he waa not there to enjoy it. His younger sister, an orphan, who had just finished school and had come to live with him, was delighted with every thing. She ran all over the house, fairly gushing with pleasure, and did not know that her brother, sitting amid the confusion of furniture in the front hall, was thinking of how much some one else would have been pleased. And there were two big teara on hia cheeks when he remembered himself and arose to aupcriotend the work of arranging furniture. Kverylnwly who reads the era re members the Hicks-Brown divorce trial how the defendant paid no attention to the suit ; how the judge, in granting a decree without alimony, scored the fait plaintiff for seekiag a divorce on sue) trivial grounds, and assured her that ha allowea a decree only because it was plain to be seen that it was a case of incompatU bility ; and how two days after receiving her ue ree, the plaintiff left luddendly, and everybody said, "I told you so j knew she'd go as soon as she got it." But everybody doesn't know that the reason she left so suddenly was that she received a telegTam announcing hei father's death, or that when she reached, home she found that he had died a bank rupt. Hicks-Brown knew it, and hia heart ached with a longing to go to her aid- and then the Hicks-Brown pride came to the aurface and his heart hardened with a cold snap and he bent himself to hi work harder than ever. One morning, as he rode into town, Henry Hicka-Brown waa thinking how lonely his sister must be, sometimes, out there in that slow little suburb, and an idea truck him. "By Jove The thought. 4 it's the very thing. There are lota ol fine girl who would jump at the chanea to be companion to so jolly a girl aa Lot. tie." And he stopped at the M office, and left a "Want" advertisement, which stated that a young lady desired a com panion who waa ale to speak French and posesel sundry other accomplish ments; mut furnih beM references, would receive litreral alary. etc. "Ap ply in rnn at residence.
