It rarely bappens that so powerful a sermon is preached on the ‘Wages of ain as by the story of her life told by this Might, sallow, homely woman. _ ‘The intimacy with Pennell was entered into by the Geey but sure stages which hurry a love drama of this + Mind to its culmination. How that stolen kiss in the Yele doorway stands out in relief in the story—that @oorway which became ‘‘a shrine” to the lover! The néighboriy association in Buffalo and the development of a tender attachment had made it a logical and natu- rel further step. The moment of temptation found the wife's self-control weakened, her power of re- sistance lessened and her inclination inviting her to the commission of an act of fatal folly. A tew months More brought the stolen meetings in Buffalo. During this time Pennell appears to have been ar- Gently in love with Mrs. Burdick. It was then that he ‘was “smoothing out the fingers of her gloves and kiss- ing them” because they had held her dear hands. She was “the only woman in the world” for him.
