head drooped with bashful pain. Shock.
ed, grieved startled, she stood thus for q
moment, like frightened bird, uncertain
whether to weep or Hy, and then rose mp
and went toward her. With single
rapid glance into my face--a glance which
was strange mixture Of tenderness, re-
proach, alright, and maiden modesty, she
darted away. Her foot caught, she
stumbled, and would have fallen, but with
bound had her in my arms, and held
her down, struggling, weeping, painting,
upon my breast.
Her sobs smote me like So many swords.
The frightened throbing of her heart
punished me as no angry reproaches
could have done. Ashamed and repentant,
1 poured torrent of wild words into her
cara mingling of passionate love and
vows, bitter self-upbraidings, caressing
epithets, tender soothings, and vehement
pleadings for forgiveness. She made no
answer, but lay in my close embrace,
passive and unresisting. lifted her face
from my shoulder, to see ii / might read
an answer there. She hid it quickly in
her hands. With a gentle force, un-
clasped the trembling fingers. What an
April face was revealed to me Grief,
girlish shame and mirth contended for the
mastery. Smiles dimpled the mouth,
bushes suffused the cheeks, tears, glitter
ed on the dropping lashes--a beautiful
trinity Of Notwithstanding sunlight,
rosy clouds, starry rain.
"Look, up Mamie, darling. Am for
giyen?"
The lids were lifted from the radiant
eyes moment, and then suddenly lower
ed again. l was answered. Two pearly
drops, started from her lasbes by the
motion, trembled and fell upon her cheek.
With true lover-like gallantry, I stopped
to kiss them of. Shades Of Cupid NY
moustache caught the tears, and my ears
such boxing.
Mamie wears her gold locket yet, but
my face is inside it now. Whether have
ever caught her kissing it since that i'm
portant addition, is a secret between her
and me. She retains to this day ell her
old spirit of coquetry, though I speak
from some halfa-dozen years experience,
when l say that she makes just the dear
est little wife in all Christendom.
