III.
The spring and early summer wore
away. One letter came from Darrell.
A letter such as he might have sent
to any chance acquaintance, full Of
hints of gay doings here and there
nothing more. One little note Vesey
wrote his mother, to say she could not
make the promised visit. Darrell had
said nothing in his letter of coming
for her. "And tell Darrel"-at the
close of her note-'..that am saving
any amount of gossip against writing
him some day." But the "some day
never came. Absence, like strong
light, brings out hidden defects, and
Vesey knew now that he was q man
selfish and vain, who had played
with her heart. He had held it in
his hand, weighed and measured it
and her, and had cast both aside as
worthless. She thought of it with
burning cheeks.
Among the mountains, in the sum-
mer, she gathered strength and life
again; for both had seemed to fail.
Perhaps it was the heat. The sum-
mer had opened like the tropics.
With another winter came the Wins
lows. If she had dreaded it, if she
had feared for herself, would it have
been strange? But the spell was
broken. Looking back, she wonder
ed.
Outwardly, the old intimacy was
resumed. Darrell came and went as
he had come and gone the year be-
fore. But to Vesey it was only a
shell-a hollow, heartless thing that
never had been friendship, and could
never now be love. Paul, plodding
along day after day in the round of
his duties, saw-as though great
way off-Vesey and Dorrel flying up
and down the icy streets to the tinklo
of silver bells.
One night, Vesey, glowing in GRIM
son with white chrysanthemums in
her hair, PASSING through the hall.
The outer door was open wide. Paul
stood outside. The wind, raw and
wet with the breath OF the sea, caught
at her hair-at the silken ruffies OF
| her dress.
"Oh, is it you? But you are COM
ing in?"
She little knew how her words
tempted him-how the vision temp
ted him, as shapaused with clasped
hands under the gas-light, and with
the warm. bright room, beyond.
II cannot, am waiting for your
father. There is family at the low
er end of the town starv--
The words choked him. "Thank
you, not tonight" he said. He had
longed to meet her again, like this
alone and tace TO face. But her
light manner. her dainty dress, an
gered him to4Uight. He had come

she breathed to herself. His back
was turned to the others. Only
Paul,s saw the saddening Of the face,
the fall OF the wet eyelids.
"Such wonderful spirits!" exclaim-
ed Mrs. Winslow. "Solight-hearted
Vesey always isl"
"Ah" responded Paul. But he
fell into reyerie.
Darrell leaned over her. "What
has come to you?"
"How? Why? She did not pause
in her playing.
You're simply glorious now
You hardly need crown"
Her hands went wrong. A quick
clash--a discord-then she went Oh.
She was growing strong, equal to
the strife. There is nothing so
deathless as woman's pride. 1t had
risen ut last. Her hands flashed
over the keys. throwing off sparks of
the widest, gAyest music.
mot that!' Darrell whispered. -
"Play something soft aud low. Do
you forget it il our last EVENING"
You re not sorry after all, then? for
the face never changed. She laugh
ed-a low, quiet ripple in her throat
"Sorry? "Oh, yes" lingering
over the last word. And still her
hands toyed with the keys. "But
one cant cry at bidding, you know;
/ dare say l may tomorrow" And
again the low laugh welled up in her
throat. She looked up fearlessly.--
1t had been all husks she knew now.
But at least he should not triumph in
her shame. She had worn her heart
upon her sleeve; but though it Lied
he should not know it. She might,
indeed, cry tomorrow, but not now.
AS for the man. he experienced a
new sensation-of doubt, mingled
with amazement. He had read her,
as he thought, like an open book
He even fancied he had cut the
leaves. Poor little mousel' he had
said TO himself, Il really must 60

tempted to fall in love with her on
the spot. IF she is acting, she's by
far more clever than / thought; and
if she is really indifferent, I've been
a conceited fool.
Goodnight, and good-by it must
be-" he said, OBTAINING her hand
when they separated. 1--WE shall
take the early train"
The flush had died out Of her face.
She looked worn and tired. Upon
the whole he was not sorry be had
decided to go.
Goodbye" she said. quietly.

gan Mrs. Winslow, fussily.
Il don't know. Perhaps so.
"Of course you will"
ITO be sure" added Darrell. "I
shall come for you myself"
They were gone at last, She turn
ed away.
"But Mr.. Hayesl Yesey?"
She had forgotten his existence.

she put out her hand. Goodnight;

speech on the occasion of serenade.
He declared he was not candidate for
the presidency, and could not be drag
ged out, and that his ambition was to
retire to the shades Of private life. But
if his fellow citizens insist on dragging
him out, he will come, and do the best
he can. Good Geary. But the in

reach the goal Of his ambition, at least
so far as the presidency is concerned.

LOSS Of RELICS or THE PAST.

Loss Of RELICS or THE PAST.
Among the saddest losses that the
country has had to mourn for some time,
says the New York Herald, il the de-
struction Of the old Colonial and Rev
olutionary buildings by FIRE at Ale1an-
dria, Va, on the 18th inst. The
country is just getting old enough to
cherish warmly the memories and relics
Of its young days, and when it is known
that among the houses destroyed by
this FIRE were the Masonic lodge Of
which Washington was the Master, and
the old Colonial Court House in which
his provincial troops were quartered
in 1854, from the door Of which Brad
dock marched TO his defeat in 1858,
and in which ex-President Washing.
ton gave his last vote, in 1899, a feel
ing of genuine sorrow is likely to come
over hearts. We could better have
spared many richer and grander edi-
fees. These relics are things that GER
tify the truth of history, and in this
age OF iconoclasm, when it is argued that
William Tell and Shakespeare are myths,
there is no certainty that ere long some
irreverent enemy of the past may not
propose to prove there was no such per-
son as George Washington. The old
revolutionary aags in the Court House
were saved, however, the flag Of
Washington's body guard, the flag Of
Paul Jones and that of q company o.
Alexandria Continentals. These lesser
the misfortune in some degree, but it ii
greater loss than busy Yankeeland OF
to-day has time to brood over, this Loss
Of the grand old landmarks of the rev
olutionary days.

The Savannah Morning News vouchs

story: About ten miles south of Dublin,

men, but miserably lazy; so much SO II
| TO be q burden upon the industrious
community in which they live. They had
planted "leotle crap WEIGH had obeyed
the laws Of nature and shot up above the
surface; but the more strong and luxuri-
ant grass threatened obstruction TO the
growing corn. The neighbors witnessed
the conduct Of the old man and his sons
an easy Indifference to consequence and
perfect carelessness as to the result of
their crop prospects. In the "stilly
night when all nature slept, and no man
thought of crossing his peaceful threshold,
hirrid-lookng band Of bloody heads and
bare bones might have been creeping
cautiously TO that old mans door. Calling
the old gentleman out, the chief, in husky
tones, announced to him that his mission
on earth WAS to in struct him TO plow his
land. The old gentleman and his sons,
all trembling at the sight Of the unearthly
visitors and direful tones, asked with
what must the plow; would an OK do?
"Yes," answered the chief demon

would be complied WITH the unwelcome
Kuklux withdraw. The old man and
his sons gazed at each other in mute
astonshment, evidently determined to
earn their bread in future by the sweet
Of their brow. The schoolboys, in passing
by the grass eaten farm next day,
witnessed the singular sight of the old
man blowing with all his might, and
one of his sons driving the other who was
pulling the pillow through the matted grass
with the strength and facility ofa beast
Of burden.

pN- Anne Brewster writes that on the
18th of April ninety-two Roman Princessts
and other ladies presented the Pope with

Vatican, if he ever gives 1t again, which"
she says. "please heaven he may" She
adds "The Baldichino used on such oc-
casions is one hundred and six years old,
and like the former carpet, quite worn out;
SO another set Of ladies contributed money
enough to buy magnificent new one, and
that Saturday it was presented TO the Holy
Father in his private audiance chamber.
There were about one hundred ladies
present--those who had contributed to the
purchase. The Baldichino top is of red
velvet, with the Pepal arms embroidered
in gold the back OF the Bsldichino has o
white cloth of silver center, richly worked
with emblazonments; around it broad
red border and golden fringe. 1t IS a
splendid affair, and Ibope to see all mat
