society, and Cecil wondered what he could
have to tell. She erecalled his meaning glances
and the bouquet presented so cavalierly,
and the pressure of the hand But neither
circumstance necessarily implied love- .L.
The thought that they might thrilled her
with indefnable pleasure, and yet as she
sat down pang shot through her heart.
II am listening, Mr.. Eversleigh." 0s
He placed himself near her, and began,
rather nervously:
''When I made your acquaintance, Miss
Clayton, had no thought that we should
ever be such good friends, because there is
80 vast difference in our inclinations.
eHow solemn said Cecil, drawing
long face. "You are quite sedate, MIR.
Eversleigh, frankly confess. At first, l
thought you student of theology.
"You made no mistake in that Miss
Clayton. am studying for the ministry"
"Why, MIR. Eversleigh" ...
"Youseem surprisedf" Yetyou must have
noticed how averse am to the so-called HARM
less amusements of the day, such as dane
ing, wine-bibbing and card-playing. The
dislike Of them rises from scruples as to
their innocency Many do not look at such
matters in their true light However, fear
of ridicule has not kept me silent. The
high calling of the ministry is ever assailed
by the goddess and ignorant, and 1 must
have my share. My profession I have never
mentioned before, as desired, at a proper
time, to ask your opinion on certain
subject connected with it. Do you think
the clergy ought to marry
Cecil's respect for the cultured MIR. Ever
sleigh had increased ten-fold in the last few
minutes, and she desired to be serious, yet
she could not refrain from hearty laugh.
'Well, that is the oldest question, MIR.
Eversleigh! There is no law against the
marriage of ministers, that know OF, and
minister's wife is desirable article in a
country village suppose you'll be des-
tined for some such place at first; they all
are"
Philip made no comment on this fact.
"Supposing young student, possessed Of
moderate fortune, who had about finished
his course, were to" He hesitated a mo-
ment, then plunged boldly on. 'Were such
q man to ask you, for instance, to marry
him, what would the answer beP'
"That would depend upon how much
thought of him. Still am unprepared to
seriously weigh anything Of the kind. We
had better return to the house"
She rose to her feet as she spoke, her
voice changed and hard.
Quickly Philip Eversleigh caught her
hand in his. -,
"Cecil, can you not see that love your
he cried d-"that you are all the world to
me?"
The rapidly uttered words burned their
way to the girls very soul, causing feeling
she dared not analyze. Again that sharp
sharp pang shot through her hutterlng
heart
Her head sunk upon her breast-she did
not answer.
Philip placed his arm about her and drew
her 1.-the form to him.
"You love me in return-you will marry
mer' he murmured, striving to look into the
blushing face. s..
Then her heart acknowledged to itself the
truth, warning her that she did indeed re-
ciprocate his affection. But before her rose
the closeted skeleton. Philip Eversleigh
must not have a wife upon whose nome
rested either taint or shadow Of taint The
Clayton secret, blackjack as Hades-
would not down!
without lifting her face, she gently disen-
gagged her lovers hold.
Fl would not pain your good, kind heart,
SIR" she said, in faltering tones, "but am
obliged to decline the honor.
Philip drew back.
"why, Cecil-why9" he groaned. ,
