Eyes, yes, l know; but not in the sense
I mean. What loss she will be to us
all! Now, tell me, do you think MIR. Fos-
ter will let her 20 out with him, or will
they have to waltz
This was going too far, Magdalen
thought
"The question has not been discussed
yet" she replied distantly; and, awed
by her manner. the young lady subsidized
into silence.
Magdalcn went up to her room, when
the party was over, in very miserable
frame of mind As she cast retrospect
over her life OF late, it seemed to her
that her success Mt Cambridge had cost
her every thing she most cared about
She did not know how much her three
years at Girton had done for her. She
was not in position to realize the all
important difference between her habit
of mind and that of Noras, between her
unworldliness and Morals worldliness
1t is worthy of note that these so-called
Girton and Newman "blues" are, for
the most part, especially simple girls.
The twilight deepened, and at last
win could delay the inevitable leave
taking no longer Magdalen kept out
of the room, Wills going was the most
terrible thing that had ever happened
to her, and she would rather not say
good-by to him at ALL than have to do
Il carelcssly before them all
where is Magdalen9' asked win,
presently
"She was looking out something in
Herodotus for me just now" said Mr..
Foster. EVA, go and call her; tell her
viii is waiting to say good-by."
Poor Win! 1t was bitter thought
that she could not leave her Greek Of
her own accord, even to bid him fare
well.
"Magdalen is not in the study, papa"
said the child, returning, Jane says
she saw her go down the garden and in
to the copse"
81 will go to her there" said win,
hastily.
The copse referred to was small pre-
serve Just outside Mr.. Fosters garden,
and it was not many minutes before Will
found Magdalen. She was lying on the
ground in the dusk, her face buried in
her hands, and her whole frame shaken
by violent sobs. In moment he was
kneeling beside her.
"Magdalen," he exclaimed, anxiously,
"what is itP"
AT the sound of his voice Magdalen
rose, and checked her tears. Nothing,
Will" she said, with quivering lips.
Don't say nothing when you mean
something" said Will Maggie, tell
me, what is the matter"
He was the only person who ever call
ed her Maggie, and now the old pet
name, used for the first time this visit,
renewed the confidence that had existed
between them as children.
"rm so unhappy" said Magdalen.
"Tm so dull and blue and stupid I'm
no good to any one, and nobody cares
for me-"
"Now, Maggie" said viii, 'youhave
told at least half-a-dozen tibs. You are
not dull, you are not stupid, you are not
BIZ at least, if you are blue, blueness is
particularly charming; you are good for
great deal, aud every body cares for
you"
Magdalen shook her head
Don't be unreasonable" remonstra-
ted VIII. What about meP Don't
care for youP" :,
His voice was full Of tenderp 1ss
which Magdalen shyly ignored.
iitHeSs al over "; With WIN; no power
on earth could have held hiW back now
from pouring out his confession to her.
"Magdalen,' he sa,jv,H'if tell you
love you, worship wa, think of nothing
out you n ,1ns h anu day, could you an
swer any thihS osW that you don't care
a straw whether do or notpn
1t was OUT now Magdalen stood and
gazed, as II She could not believe her
ears, at the, hand that had grasped her.
AT last a Smile of wonderful happiness
stole aoSut her lips.
,'W4y, VIII, she said, raising her eyes
10 ms, lit was just you minded most
OF al about but you don't, you can't
really mean"
VIII did not find it very difficult TO
satisfy her that he could and did mean
all and more than he had said. Great
was the amazement of the Fosters when
presently they re-entered the sitting
room together, and viii announced that
be never meant to say good-by to Mag
dalen at all.
Mr.. Fosters consent given, he changed
all his plans, invested his capitalin Eng
land, after all and eventually settled
down on large farm near the Fosters,
as happy husband, with as happy o
wife, as was to be found in the United
Kingdom.
Is that possible? Could they live for
long together without the difference be-
tween them becoming discordP
Yes; for, as the wise professor at the.
breakfast-table points out to us, ut
takes very true man to be fitting
companion for a woman OF genius, but
not very great one, "
