saw for the first time that his face was
handsome His cheeks were bronzed and
weather beaten, but his features were
finely formed, and on hls head clustered
a mass of curling chestnut hair He was

Five minutes after, as stood wonder
ing at the strange behavior of the man,
my cars were greeted with shrek which
pierced to my heart Running in the
direction whence the sound proceeded, I
reached the top of neighboring sand
hill, and gazing into the valley below nae

his head was bare, his arms were out
stretched, and he held upon his breast
the half f-fainting form of the lovely girl
whom I last behcld in the moonlight
While stood hesitating as to the utility
of descending, saw the girl gently with
draw herself from his arms. then, clasp
ing her hands around his neck, fell sob

"Well, Shawn, what's the news?"
asked that night when Shawn rushed ex-
citedly into my room. For time he
could tell me nothing; but l,y dint of a
few well applied questions soon ex-
tracted from him the whole story. 1t
amounted to this: that after working for
two years like galley slave in the black
pits of Pennsylvania, with nothing but
the thought of Norah 10 help him on,
Miles Doughty found himself with enough
money to warrant his coming home; that
he was about to return to Storport, when,
unfortunately, the day before his intend
ed departure, shaft in the coal pit fell
upon him and he was left for dead; and
for many months he lay i'll, but as soon
as he was fit to travel he started for home
Arrived in Storport, he was astonished to
| find that no one knew him, and he was
about to pass himself off as friend. Of
his own, when the news of his reported
death and Norah's sorrow SO shocked him
that he determined to make himself
known at once.

he was married. concluded Shawn, ssFol

that she's in tonight"
just three months after that night
found myself sitting in the but where
Norah O'Connell dwelt The cabin wa

Norah, who, decorated with her brida
flowers, was dancing with one of tn

Her face flashed brightly upon mi

with tears.
"My DEAR" I added, ssI never meant t

to those songs to-night..''
She laughed lightly, then she spok
rapidly in Irish and merrily sang tt
well-known lines:
E 20, the marriage, the marriage,
With love and mo bouchal for me;
The ladies that ride in a carriage
Might envy my marriage to me.
