But the girl by her side neither joined
her in her prayers nor looked at her.
Ever motionless as statue-her eyes
ever cast down-apparently wrapped in
deep thought, and, L fancied, sad
thought, she sat, showing us the while
no more of her face than that perfect
profile. Kenyon had certainly not over
praised her. Hers was a face which
had a peculiar attractiveness for me,
the utter repose of it not being the least
of that charm. / was growing very
anxious to see her full face. but as /
could not do so without positive rude
ness, was compelled to wait until she
might chance to turn her head.
Presently the old Italian woman APP
peared to think she had done her re-
ligious duty. Seeing she was preparing
to cross herself, rose and sauntered
down toward the door. In a few min
utes the girl and her companion passed
me, and was able to see her to better
advantage, as she waited whilst the
old woman dipped her fingers in the
holy water. She was undoubtedly
beautiful; but there was something
strange in her beauty. | made this dis
covery when, for moment, her eyes
met mine. Dark and glorious as those
ewes were, there was dreamy, far
away look III them-a look that seemed
to pass over one and see what was be-
hind the object gazed at. This look
gave me a curious impression, but as it
was only for a second that my eyes met
hers, / could scarcely say whether the
impression was pleasant or an I'M
pleasant one.
The girl and her attendant fingered
a few moments at the door, so that

BY common consent we paused out
side. The action may have been n rude
one, but we were both anxious to see
the departure of the girl whose appear
ance had so greatly interested us. AS
we came through the door of the
church, | noticed man standing near
the steps-a middle-aged man of gen.
tlemanly appearance. He was rather
round-shouldered, and wore spectacles.
Had / felt any interest in determining
his station in life, l should have adj
judged him to one of the learned pro-
fessions. There could be no mistake as
to his nationality; he was Italian to the
backbone. He was evidently waiting
for some one; and when the girl, fol-
lowed by the old woman, came cut OF
San Giovanni, he stepped forward and
accosted them.
The old woman gave little sharp
cry OF surprise. Sic took his hand and
kissed it. The girl stood apparently
apathetic. 1t was evident that the gen
tleman's business lay with the old

HIS LITTLE LOVE.

She loves me. She. the dearest, best,
Most perfect of created things.
Has said she loves me, and has pressed
Her lips TO mine. My whole heart sings
With joy, because am so blessed.
No more with doubts, with fears oppressed
My whole cart sings.
Would for her sake, my own, my sweet,
That riches, fame, all precious things,
Were cine to lavish at her feet.
But, save the love that takes not wings,
And flies away on plnionS fleet,
No wealth have to bring my sweet;
Naught else but love.
Dear love- the heavens are not so fair
AS is the light of her blue eyes:
One lock of that pure gold, her hair,
More than the wealth of worlds prize.
oh, strange that she for me should care,
Who has all beauty for her shared
Oh, sweet! oh, strange!
Yet that she loves me well know.
In her pure heart no guile could dwell,
And she declared some days ago

In lisping accents. soft and low
