new baubles, she was growing daily
cold, proud, and unwomanly.
Once indeed in the months drifting
rapidly by, cha nge had come over
herlife. The touch ofp master hand,
the glance OF dark eye, the pcrsua-
slye accent of loved voice, had
awakened new aims and ambitions in
her worldly heart, had given her a
faint glimpse Of apostolic Eden.
But Gordon Gray, for some reason
unknown TO herself, and at the very
time when he had appeared most de-

forgotten her, and in the effort to
shake off the memories whose tunerul
vibrations maddcned her, Lena
plunged still deeper into the en-

lightly up the steps Lena soon found
herself in the pleasant parlor, en-
deared to her by 50 many happy
memories Of thepast.
A new painting hung upon the wall,
and 70 this Mrs. Alton directed her
friends attention. IL was a simple
forest scene. In the foreground
dead deer lay upon tho greensward,
with tired hound resting by his side;
overhead a scarlet maple tossed It's
gorgeous banner on the air; and a
little beyond q monarch OAK, just
touched with gold by the fairy, frost,
reared its legal head. on the right
