LOVE AND DUTY,

old Martin Frere. At ordinary times the
cottage would have possessed but little at
traction for bold, stirring youth like
Owen Glenn. But q visitor had Of late
frightened up its precincts-a young girl
named Annis named after the aged grand
mother who dozed by the hearth through
the long evenings, content to watch the
bright flames as they shot up from the
broad fireplace, and perhaps to see visions
OF the past with her dim eyes.
Dame Frere was sharp-voiccd, busting
woman, long past middle age, and not hay
ing the name of possessing very sweet
temper, but she had a soft place in her
heart for granny, and it was to please her
that She had invited her pretty name-child
to come and visit them for few months.
Annis was tall, slight girl, straight as
pine tree and rs graceful as tawn. Her
yellow hair hung in perfect name OF shll-
ing curls all about her shoulders and far
down below her waist Imagine a sweet
innocent face lighted with great lustrous
dark ewes. and a red mouth almost always
curying into smiles, and you have some
idea of hnnls.
Most of the young girls in the vicinity
we're h1IyOm, merry lasses, with hair and
ewes 10 rnatch-bOth of intense blacNnesS-
and with more or less ofthe hoyden in them
Their laughter was loud and hearty. and
their WAYS more frolicsOme than refined
Soft not strange that when this graceful,
quiet stranger came among them, with her
Shy wavs and blonde coloring, her swift
changes of expression and native ease Of
manner she was at once taken into the
hearts Of all the young people III the neigh
borhood.
1t is g great mistake to think that one
Girl is insensible to another maidens beau
ty. Sometimes, to be sure, she may havea
feeling Of jealousy with regard to it when
she is naturally of that disposition, but
ortencr she loves the object OF hcg admira-
ton all the more because she embOdies
that ideal which exists i'll every human
soul 10 a greater or less degree.
owen Glenn had fallen head over heels
in love at his first meeting with Annis, and
had not missed an opportunity of meeting
her at the various rustic gatherings TO
which she had been invited; and tonight
he was going TO test his fate by telling
Annis that he loved her, and ask if he could
hope for response to the ardent feeling
with which he had been inspired by her
Owen was not at all certain as to the sue
cess of his suit, for there was another who

Annis had received the pleasant little

calculated to wound neither; though, as to
that. it would have been IN impossibility
for her to be sother than so sweet and gra-
