"UBERALL DU."

music still pulsed In her ear, until her
very heart kept the beat. Young,
beautiful, beloved, and wealthy, this
little Jennie of ours had the cream of
this world at her feet, and as she took
off her jewelry and flowers, and pre-
pared herself for sleep, it was with a
smile on her lips and happy light in
her dreamy eyes.
One piece of jewelry she held in her
clasped hands lingeringly, as if it we're
too dear to lay aside. 1t was a pretty
trinket, gold clasp or bar, and swing,
ing from it by two tiny golden chains
polished Florida sea bean, dark as
ebony, mounted like locket A le.
gend was engraved on the bar in for
eiAp tongue, "Uberall Du."
Jehnie's eyes scanned the words in
tently. Glow stupid [ am not to be
able to translate this German" thought
she. "It is something dear, know, and
just the thing, or Royal would not
have had it. wish l could sacrifice
my pride enough to ask him the m can
ing of it; but he thinks I can read it
and / am ashamed 10 let him know I'm
such Ounce after four years at board
ing-school. Never mind, l shall dis
cover the meaning sometime ;" and
with blush and smile, she kissed
the trinket and put it tenderly in her
casket. 1t was a triAing thing, but
even that is precious from the man you
love. Royal Hamlin had been at her
feet all winter.
People said they were engaged, and
considered the match certain, as peo-
pie will when the principals in the
game are not at all sure. 1t was SO in
this case. He had not proposed to
Jennie, though he was all devotion,
and, to tell the truth, Jennie felt a
growing uneasiness lest she was becom-
ing fond of him too soon but she
could not bear to distress herself with
the thought. So, when this eve at the
ball he had pinned tho clasp upon her
shoulder amid her snowy laces, and
murmured in her ear in their quiet
nook in the window that he would
have something to say to her when he
returned to town next week, Jennie
heart had given quiet leap that had
dyed her sweet little face scarlet; and
he, noting it, had gone off with eyes
tull Of triumph. No wonder her locket
seemed precious to her.
Tie next afternoon after the ball, as
Jennie was walking with Ella Stuart
on the avenue, she asked her, as if il
were sudden thought, if she "remem

"Not well, Jenny - pretty rusty
What did you ask for?"

"What were the words p
"As near as | can remember tn,

She looked round at Jennie, tri
umphantly, just in time to catch per
feet expression of dismay on a poo
blanched face enough to make you
heart ache. ~.
"Why, Jenniel what is the matter ?
she exclaimed, catching her by tn,
arm. Jennie just had strength left t,
totter into a shop near, and sink int,
a seat, whispering she "was faint" diC

the same time a sign for her compan

would she have thought had she see
our poor Jennie an hour later, sobhine

Poor child! She had her battle
