But days passed by, and Kitty only
looked sadder and paler. She seemed
to take no interest in any one or any
thing. But every day she would steal
quietly into my room, as I sit at work,
sit down on cricket at my feet, and
lay her head in my lap, scarcely ever
speaking unless in reply to some ques
ton of mine. And so she would sit
by the hour. And there grew such
an expression of patient sorrow on the
little head, which had always been so
bright, that grew sadly troubled. /

tender heart, and now she was really
pining away from pity for John Muir

cried passionately.
A new light drawned upon me. Per-
haps the girl loved Jchn Murray. If
SO, / felt sure she did not know it. But
thought it was best that she should
make the discovery, otherwise, she
might possibly reject John again, if he
ever wooed q second time.
Kitty said I, what was the true
reason for your refusing Mr.. Murray's
offer Z
Reason ! Why, was not in love
with him.
| Not then!'
Never, Aunt Sally
Yet you would die for him.? l said,
quietly.
She started up.

a man who once loved earnestly, should
never love again. He had given all
his love to mere dream-a boys
vision--and it had all come back to
his heart; now he should spend 1t
upon a truer, worthior object. And
then he told me how he loved me.
O, Aunt Lizzie, such words as he spoke
then. He told me how, in the short
weeks we. had been together, this love
had come up in his heart, throwing
every day an hour, as he saw my
simple, guileless nature opening before
him. Simple, guileless! = when L had
been so artful and wicked. Then he
stopped minute, and bending forward
to look into my face, he took both
my hanis in his, and said
will you be my wife,
There was my offer. o, how L
wished in that minute that had never
met hila-that l had never gone to
East Hampton. : was trembling and
frightened the story of that other
love had made me cry with pity; and
now, how could l be tho one to make

he held them tightly, and said again
Will you be my wife,
Then | tried to remember what L
meant to say, and / stammered out
something about feeling sorry | could
not love him, and hoping he had never

tions, and-O, I don't know what [ said;
it was all trihing nonsense. Shall L
ever forget his grieved look when L
had done? He looked into my eyes

voice,

with. In mercy say it quickly, if at

Then I said us firmly as I could:
L do not love you, Mr.. Murray. l

He turned away then, bowed his face
in his hands, and sat so long time,
still and silent. / thought my heart

I cIaspcd my hands and said:

around me, and drew me close to his
breast, held me there one little minute,

our parting. We walked together tc

is the story. Now, you may talk, Aun'

Aunt Lizzie 2"
I turned, and seeing her crimsoned
face half frightened, half reproachful
look, l knew she had seen John Murray
coming in. She started towards the
door, But laid my hand on her arm.
'.You shall not go, Kitty" l said,
decidedly. "You shall not trihe with
him again--Stay -
She stood timid, irresolute, and he
entered the room. AS his eyes fell
upon her he started, and u faint color
tinged his cheek, but he bowed court
eously, ard held out his hand to her
(that was for my benefit, who was sup
posed to be ignorant of the affair."
Kitty took his offered hand without
looking at him. But now the bushes
had left her face, and it was very white.
As John glanced at her, he exclaimed
involuntarily:
you have been i'll, Miss Dean
She looked at him, met his anxious
case, and covering her face with her
hands, burst into tears. Poor child, sAe

Murray looked annoyed. His pride
would not let him submitto be pittied
by the woman who had refused his hand.
His face flushed, and holding his hoad
high, looked so proud and handsome,
he said:
II am sorry my presence distrosses
you, Miss Dean. Lot me assure you,
if those tears are shed from compassion
for me, / do hot need them. / need no
ones pity I" and he turned to leave the
room.
Here was n situation! What should

desperate as ho opened the door, / whis-

foolish boy--she loves you -
He hesitated, looked incrcdulously
at me, then glanced at Kitty, whose
face was still covered with the little
hands which had grown so thin since
he held them in his own on East Hamp-
ton Beach. His expression softened,
and ] rushed from tho room, leaving
the two shut up together. SO suro was
