answer. 81 must have mistaken the bour
AS the two walked away together. M.
Gibson said, III tone which, though n.
intended for his ears, Guy could Lot avo;z
overhesring, Miss Deane, never = ..
astonished III my life Such boldn

sketch indeed :"
The reply was inaudible. Guy Hush.
to his finger tips with anger, but rehs.
ing that Miss Deane's modification wo,H+
doubtless be increased by the knOWlea.
that he had heard the cruel words. b.
pressed back the indignant sentences d
rose to his lips.
From that moment his resolutions W..
taken. "She shall not long be subject
that woman's petty tyranny-not il Can
win her for myself" he said, closing b.
lips tightly as he walked up the gar3aa
path.
Early on the following day he saw Il
Gibsons drive away with party OF guest.
followed by light wagon packed Wit
all the equipments of rustic picnic
Miss Deane was not of the number; H.
deed he had noticed that she very rarelr
shared any of their frequent pleasure e.
cursions.
"She is alone; viii speak to her I'll.
very day." he thought.
As he passed up the avenue that aftss
noon, he started to hear her voice again
on the first day when he had met be-
He stood still moment, and the wOfd.
came floating to his ear on the wings Of 3.
melody sadder than anything he had eya
heard:
90 Late, late, so late and dark the night and CHI
Late, late, SO late but We can enter stln
Too late Too late we cannot enter now"
Following with his eyes the direction Of
the sound, he saw her sitting on the gras
half hidden by trellis which supported
some clambering vine. The last note h2i
died away in a tremulous sob, and bury
| ing her face in her hands she burst into
spasm of weeping.
Guy stood ir1esolute, feared to s,4stle
her by sudden approach, but as dry
twig broke beneath his foot she turns
quickly and recognized him. She To-
hastily, .dashing away her tears, and be-
face glowing with painful embarrassment
Guy was at her side in an instant.
81 beg thousand pardons," he said
hurriedly: indeed, l did net mean {,
come upon you so suddenly J"
"The family are absent for the DAY
Mr.. Britton."
AZ know it don't wish to see then
Miss Deane, they are miserably unkin3
to you here" said Guy, impulsiyely.
"No, no, it lie not that they do no
mean it," she answered, striving to regain
composuro " it is because / am not Of
ten so weak as this !"
"Oh, Miss Deane if you would only
take a place in my heart and home. Tel
me that you will give the right TO guard
and comfort you. Be my wife !"
Her face lit up for moment viii
strange radience, then the light passed
and left her calm and pale.
d" Mr.. Britten," said she, % need uy
tell you how totally unprepared 1 am t.
this You do me great honor than
you, but this cannot be. You are not u
man to be content in a marriage that Ia
its origin in a mere sympathy, howeye
noble; and forgive me that say If, lone
" and poor as [ am, should want Nor.
than that in my husband"
i Guy would have interrupted her VII
passionate protestations, but she silence
him with quiet firmness.
i 81 am almost a stranger to you, weT
her parting words Z" some time you vi
thank me for what may seem now hE
rank ingratitude." She held out b.
hand with a sorrowful smile. Guy press
il to his lips.
? s.Miss Deane," be said, al don't won5e
that my wretched abruptness has ruin5'
my cause. Forgive it---snd me, I am goin
away 10 morrow, on urgent business
! shall be at home in fortnight, then

The end of fortnight brought Gu
Britton back but Laura Deane had b.
gone a week.
81 don't know where she went" a.

One Sabbath evening, two years late

Laura Deane, coming down the sta
