tality of the farm, and she returned
home delighted with her visit. Mrs.
Alner was so kind, aud the girls,
Ella and Ruth, so charming and
friendly. Jeanie talked enthusiastic
c.lly for some time abou: her new
friends, and DR.. Lowell listened to
all she said eagerly.
After few weeks invitations
came to the farm for a party to be
held at the 'Hali.'
Shall you go, little one 2 qnee-
toned her father.
Jeanie looked up at DR.. Lowell,
and was surprised again by the odd
pallor Of his face.
It was decided they should go.
and the eventful evening arrived.
The 'Hall' was ablaze with light,
| and fragrant with the aromatic per.
fume of flowers, and as Jeanie en-
tered the ball room on the doctors
arm, her girlish heart gave a great
bound. She had been to but few
parties, and youth loves lite and
g4i+ty.
But her pleasure that evening
was not what she had expected,
and as she lay in her own little bed
at home that nj ght, and thought
over her lovers bewildering cob
Duct, the pretty head buried itself
in the pillows, and amy one listen
ing might have heard srnothercG
sobs.
Shortly after their arrival her es-
cort had LETT her, and devoted him
self to Ella Aimcr. Now that Jea-
ME was ncglrcted-that her beauty
and popularity never allowed her
to be-but she had watched with a
keen pain her lovers manner to-
ward Miss Almcr.
From their first meeting the re-
serve. which be generally held to-
ward strangers had been wanting,
aud he seemed to become more and
more engrossed in her society.
The long walk home that even
ing had been taken almost IN 81
lence, aud Jeanie's heat, all un
used to trouble, sank very low, as
she thought she had been unmaid-
enly iu giving her love SO freely.
and pow ber punishment had come.
I 1T ii heart once out of ones keep
ing cannot be called back suddenly
without pain.
Aud this was orly the commence
ment of her sorrow. Day after
dav DIR. lowell was guest at
"Wahau Hall" :" aud Jtanie often
saw him and Ella Amer riding or
walking together. Farmer Moore
mover noticed how grave the weari
-omt, face was growing, for with the
piide Of womanhood Jenaie kept
her gtiet to herself. Size had made
mp mind bitterly, :hat while Nhe
mad been loving with all the fervor
of her warm, inpui>ive hear, he,
whom she had thought so NOBLE,
had beeu only tritfing with her
testing his powers of pleasing.
She avoided meeting him as
much as possible, and SO the time
pissed, uutil one mo, ming, as she
rose from the breakfast table, DIR.
Lowell, said:
'Can you speak with me little
while, Jeanie? Il is almost i'm. los.
sibe TO see you alone la'ely.
Never bad his voice pronounced
her name more tenderly. Was he
about to make her cnn6dant Of
lis new found love? jeanne raised
her eyes quickly to his face, then
answering, Certainly, he led the
way 70 the library.
She seated herself, and, and ht
standing before her, after "a slight
pause tegan
