garden walk. ''She cares no more
for me than she does for the rest of
the foolish moths that firt around
the fame of her sweet smiles and
pretty ways. Girls are cruel crea-
lures they play fast and loose with
a mans heart, like a cat trifiing with
a mouse! Yes, it is best that | should
60 away now-go where | shall new

! A soft strain of music floats out on
the summer breeze; ard stealing
closer To the vine covered window,
Harry Rand stops and listens to an.
other verse of the song he characteri-
zed short time since as every ap-
propriate." The voice is low and
iremuloIs, and the words half sob
bed:
'S!leuf was young Clochetfe,
Grieved In he. heart was she

None WIS 20 dear rs he.
! Clncaeite, Clochetfe,
60 for love OF lOu,
ClOchetie. Clochette -
Sle only sail adieu :"
O.-oh oh and sob after
sob follow the last words, with the
sweet head again fallen low.
Swifter than arrow from hunters
bow there rushes through the dark
ness, into the moonlighted room. a
tall dark figure and kneeling beside
the golden-feece hid, tear-stained
face, a voice whispers passionately /;
"Will you forgive my hasiy tenn
per and harsh words. Nelly darling /?
And will YOU believe me when ! say
that I love you with all my heart.
and ask YOU to he my wife? Let me
kiss these tears away, Look at me,
darling, and answer me truly: You
do care for me a little, DO you .ot?"
Tie tears are all wiped away -one
by one the blue eyes are lifted up
to meet the brown ones: and Nelly
answered after a little while, saucy
as ever

"What dear little Sabine you
would have been. Nell, says Hqfry--

That will do, think, let's change
'hc subject, Nelly" answers Harry.
There, III let You 90 if YOU will

interrupted.
! While the blue eyes look up, now,
INTO the brown GneS, answering back
all the devotion they see there, the
sweet young voice takes up the strain
again and >;ngs;
