the man who ever darcs to trihe
with your true heart. Farewell!
and God bless you. | will try and
bear my great anguish as q man
should who has had the greatest
10Y of life snatched away when
lust about TO drink Of its sweet
ness Then he was gone.
In the twilight Lillian sat and
watched him as he rode slowly
down the avenue, and a yearnlng
pity rose in her heart that she
had caused so true heart TO bleed
and suffer. Thon she thought of
her own past life, aud the sore
heart trial she had borne. She
lay awake long hours that night,
and wished she had mover come TO
her uncle's home.
Shortly after, her uncle an
nounced the fact that Jesse had
gone to Pennsylvania, on business
for an uncle. Then noting the
g!ances bestowed on Lillian he
for the first time saw that tho
ring was missing, and he exclaim-
ed:
'Eh, child Been having low
er's quarrel. Tut, tut =
Lillian muttered something
about a mistake and then Julia
explained TO her father.
Not love, indeed!' be exclaimed
in impatience. when you have
lived a while longer you will learn
that is all bosh and nonsense.
You arc silly child, Lillian
After this very complimentary
speech, he left them and then
Aunt Nina had = word, all think
ing she had behaved in very fool
ish manner.
The next letter from home con-
tanned the announcement Of her
mothers return and also that
she could come whenever she
liked and closed with this news ::
Charley Elerton came home on
last Wednesday and took tea with
us on that afternoon
Her heart seemed to stand
still as she finished. Charley
home! But, ah be had not come
for her. No, she must fight on
against her heart, and bury her
grief as best she could; and meet
him as the Charley Of old times.
And, though it might break her
heart, he must never know how
she had loved and waited.

Her mother looked anXiously
at the pale face as she entered her
home, and questioned her closely.
Lillian told her Of the broken en-.
gagement, but did not mention
the cause. Somehow her mother
seemed to guess at it and strove
to speak cheeringly to her. With
all ber motherly scheming she
wanted to secure her daughters
happiness, and she had quickly
noted the shade on Charley's
brow when he learned that Lii,
lian was absent.
About q week after coming
homo, Lillian was walking in the
grove and involuntarily took the
path she had last walked with
Charley at her side. The sun wa:
casting red glow lines above tree
tops when she reached the bank
whereon she had sat that even
ing. She threw herself on thf
grass, and a grsh Of pent up emo
, tions bust forth in hot tears.
On this very evening Charley
had started to visit her, and from
, some similar emotion had takel
the same path.
With his head bowed low b.
came suddenly upon the kneelinE
: figure Of the weeping girl. b.
stopped short, and after looking
3 some moments at her, stepped
quietly to her side and called he
] name.

? quickly wiped her eyes, and strov
