read it all, and know what it means what I have to do, auntie." And now the girl stood up.
 "Your father gave it to me for safe keeping. 1 never meant you to see it, Adelaide"
 "That would have been very wrong, Auntie."
 "No, no, dearie; you must marry and be happy"
 The girl did not speak. Ske stood looking around the familiar room, and her eyes grew dark with agony. Xvi dently her resolve was taken.
 "The dear old place-it seemed part of my very self It never before was beautiful and dear as now, when it was to be my home and his. It has seemed lonely and irksome-it never would any more. And must give it up."
 This was fixed as an unalterablelaw in her mind. The conditions being fulfilled which decree it to another, the Junipers must forthwith pass into other hands.
 There could be no doubt that Adelaide was heart broken. She looked as if some terrible illness had settled upon her. Aunt Resolve was utterly shattered by the girls state, but now Adelaide was the stronger of the two in maintaining 8 settled purpose.
 The latter had 8 guardian whom she saw annually. She wrote to him, acquainting him with the message from the deceased, and briefly relinquishing the property, as she wished him to take steps to discover the former owners of the Junipers-a process which Aunt Resolve thought would not be difficult, though she did not know them.
 "I would not have done it, dear," she said, sick in bed. CT would have you live and die upon the old place. fear -ah, fear you will miss everything now-for Captain Somers has no home, and he will rove from and forget you | It is human nature. These long-deferred marriages never turn out we'll. You know your marriage to him must be de- ferred, don't you?'
 "Yes."4
 The girl uttered the one sad monosyl- lable and said no more.
 And now the time was flying. Captain Somers she expected daily, for he said he would return to her in less than 8 month. She finally brought herself to write to him, and told him what had hap pened. He made no reply.
 This added pang. She saw plainly what it would be. He could not provide for her adequately. Such support as he could afford her-and which she would have gladly accepted, sweet, if shared with him-he would not offer. She must find home in Florida, wish some of her mothers unknown relatives, and they would drift apart finally forever. Aunt Resolve was right.
 A storm set in. Day by day the rain beat about the house and the signing of the wind filled the girls heart with dread.
 At last there came letter from her guardian. It ran as follows:
 "MY DEAR ADELAIDE I have been unusually fortunate in finding the right full owner of the Junipers. He will make his appearance there Thursday, after which will see you at an early day. LUTHER MESSENGER.
 Not word of sympathy or regret. It seemed to Adelaide as if all the world had suddenly turned her enemy.
 And still another day the storm held. The Junipers tossed in the rainy wind, and the wild air had voices of cruel sig, nifcance. Or was Adelaide's mind giving way under trouble? She had SC anticipated such a far-reaching result that she seemed already deep in years of suffering.
 Alone, on mournful evening, she was suddenly electrified by coarse voice demanding:
 "Where is this 'ere woman that's beer a-keepin' me out of my lawful rights just want to set my eyes on her,
 Was her home to go to such people Her heart sank but the heavy stel came on.
 Suddenly the door was flung open and, smilingly, there stood Captail Somers.
 I Dearest, have come" He caught her hands and drew her tt her feet. She uttered cry of delight then broke into sobbing sigh as she fei herself clasped to his breast. "Oh, only to part, my beloved l" sh cried.
 "Not at all, my dear one; for I an , the master of the Junipers. By you grandfather's decree, which bestows upon the poorest member of the de frauded family, it becomes mine, am next month sees our wedding" '. And it was even so. t Tho DnIiffoion nf fhn Dop.io1
