the first glance at her plain, white Cham
berry gauze dress.
John had seen nothing but the bright
face of the girl he loved and the love-hghs
in her eyes. Before she could speak he
had taken both her hands and whispered,

Then she put her hand into Johns, and
they wandered of into the conservatory
to finish their explanation.
Cevs Sullivan found hisselt at that
moment in the most trying circumstance
of his life. The real Cementine Msrat
stood looking down at flower on the
carpet, and evidently expecting him TO
resume the tende- attitude no had been
accustomed to bear toward her. He was

Clementine stood pei fectly still, with
her eyes fixed on the carpet, and her
cheeks gradually flushing, as Oleve made
his awkward accusations. She gave him
no help, and she made no defense, and il
soon becomes embarrassing for . man to

and she could we'll afford to let q selfish

eonsummated ; and then Glove saw her
name among the list of passengers sailing
on one particular day for Europe. Az
John and his bride lett on the same
steamer, Ceve supposed, OF course, she
had gone in their company.
