with this little maiden, whose indiffer-

take this most excellent opportunity
of making LEV acquainted with. his
great love for her, and offer her his
hea. t and hand.
LEV. taken by surprise. replies in
the usual way, that she is sorry, but
does not care enough for him to marry
him, etc. Only one consolation does
she give him, and that's that she loves
no one else. So Phil is comforted in q
degree, thinking that some day he may
be able to win her love.
He leaves her there and wanders
down the bank OF the river, for in his
great disappointment he can hardly
bear to see her.
Suddenly he hears q sharp cry and
his heart almost stands still, for it is
| Llew's voice. Can she have fallen in
to the water? Blaming himself for
| leaving her there alone and so near
| the water, he rushes back and sees
| LEV standing on the bank wringing
| her hands, while in the water he dis
covers Teddy.
Without hesitation he throws of
| his coat and leaps into the river.
| He is a good swimmer, but Teddy has
| become unconscious and is very heavy,
and it is not without difficulty he gets
| him to the bank.
LEV is standing perfectly motion
less, but this moment has brought
| her to the knowledge that she loves
Phil Delmarre with all her heart,
and that without him her future life
would be a dreary blank.
When Phil reaches the bank with
| the unconscious boy in his arms he
carries him to his uncle's house, which
| IS not far away.
| Llew follows, silent and unremon-
strating, and they soon reach the spot
where Mr.. Delmarre is enjoying his
morning cigar on the porch, and as
! the procession neared the steps he
called out to Phil in a gruff voice:
Hello! What's up now? Looks as
ifyou'd been near the river."

piled Phil, still holding the boy in his
arms.
Here the old housekeeper made her
| appearance, much to the relief of Phil,
| who began to give orders for her to
| prepare bed for his little charge, and
for once she did not wait for her mas
| ter's bidding, because the DISTRESSED
look on LEV face, who was standing
| by, touched the heart of the Old wom-
| an.
| When LEV was left alone with the
| old gentleman she summoned all her
courage and walked up to his chair
and stood before him, much to his
surprise, for all the neighbors had
looked upon HIM as all ogre, and no
| one had ever before been known to
speak to him unless it was absolutely
necessary.
"Mr Delmarre, I am very sorry we
have been obliged to intrude upon
your quiet household, but it was

She stood waiting for an answer, but
received none save a deep grunt, which
very nearly made her jump.

dark suit that was very becoming to
him.
"You had best 60 to your brother, y

thank you for the great service you

by Phil.
'Let us not discuss that. Iamnow
going for a physician. There is the
room," and he hurried away Llew
and Mrs. Smith made Teddy as com
Portable as possible, but when he re-
covered from his sleep hewas delirious.
When Phil and the doctor came he
was in arestless sleep.
The good old doctor pronounced
him too i'll to be moved for 6 week or
two, to Llew's great horror. To stay
a week with that horrid old man!
None knew what the old man thought
for he kept his thoughts to himself, and

Llew, so her aunt packed a few things
in a valise and sent them to her.
It was not long until the whole town
had heard Of the accident, and one
and all declared that sit was the
strangest thing that they had ever
heard OF that old John Delmarre
would allow them folks at his home. 2
Mr., Chesleigh, Aunt Mary and the
doctor paid regular visits at the farm,
and Teddy improved slowly under

his bedside, and her newly discovered
love grew strongeras she learned more
