They sit quietly talking for while,
till finally the sinking OF the sun in the
west reminds Nettie that she has
household duties to attend to; and sc
Harry rows her back to the land, and
they return to the house,
In the evening, after the farmer and
his wife have retired, the lovers have a
long talk, and Harry explains to Net
tie that it is best not to tell her par.
ents of their engagement till he has ar
ranged everything with his mother.
"She has already selected great
belle for me to marry. darling, and il
may be rather difficult to convince her
that l shall be far happier with my
dear little Nettie."
Are you sure you will be. Harry ?"
asks Nettie, looking at him rather visit
fully.
MY dear little girl, when l am not
contented d moment away from you
am sure would never be happy with
Rena White" answers Harry, kissing
the sweet lips so near his own.
Two more weeks pass, which they
enjoy to the utmost, when at the end
of that time a telegram arrives, telling
Harry of the dangerous illness of his
mother, and asking him to return at
once.
81 can't bear to have you go, Harry.

keep vou from me-" And tears dim
the brightness of her eyes as Nettie
says this.
"What fanciful little girl you are p
he answers, as he kisses them away.
"Don't you know, my darling little
girl, that 70 hing could do that?"
FINALLY the go0d-bys are said and he
is gone. Arriv ng in Chicago he goes
directly to the house at which his
mother is staying, to find her indoed
very ill. The doctors say trip to TIE
seashore is ell that can save her, ahd
50 he goes without seeing his litt,t
fiancee. To be sure, he writes her
loving gocd-by. Still she is sorely
| disappointed.
At the time of Harry Shores first
coming to the farmhouse, there were
| several of the neighboring farmers
sons who paid Nettie a great deal of
attention. of course she received
them graclousIy enough; still she hac
never cared particularly for them
There was one, an exceedingly wcll-to
do young farmer, who had loved Nettit
| all his life. He worked very fine
farm, and Mr.. Leach and his wifi,
wanted Nettie to marry him; still
when he proposed and was refused
they thought too much of their daugh
ter's happiness to urge the matter. He
felt bitter about it, and Harry Shores
coming only added fuel to the flame
especially when he saw how much the
latter and Nettie were together.
He always brings the letters from

LITTLE BOY BLUE

The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands,
And the little toy soldier is red with rust
And his muskst molds in his hands
Time was when the lite toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put than there.
Now don't you go till come " he said;
And don't you make any noisel"
So toddling OFF to his trundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened oar little Boy Blue
Oh the years are many, the years are long,
But the tile toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the Same Old place,
Awaiting the touch of q little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long years
through
In the dust OF that little chair
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there

the postof1ice to Mir. Leach, so when
letters come from Harry Shores it is a
very easy matter to keep them. At
first Nettie thinks Mrs. Shores illness
prevents Harry writing; but, as the
weeks wear on, she begins to grow
heartsicE. Once or twice the farmer
and his wife say it is strange they never
hear from Harry, but finally they cease
thinking Of him. Not so poor Nettie !;
each week finds her long ng more and
more, and for some word that will tell
her she is remembered and loved.
But time passes on; autumn, winter,
and spring come and Sd, and it is once
more beautiful June. Nettie is again
sitting in the garden, but now there is
no song upon her lips, and there is a
sadness in her beautiful eyes that never
Il ed to be there. Finally the door OF
the farm house opens, and kind, moth
erly Mrs. Leach comes out. There is
an anxious look on her face as she sees
her daughter. A few weeks before, on
being questioned, Nettie told her
mother about her engagement to Harry
Shores, and of his strange silence dur
ing the months of his absence. The
kind mother said nothing to reproach
her, as she p:tied her too much for
that.
"Nettie, DEAR" she says, as she
reaches her, "why don't you go for a
row or walk or something? hate to
see you sitting quietly thinking all the
time Go, darling, find some amuse-
ment; see some of the young people,
and forget about Harry Shores, for he
is not worth one of your pure
thoughts.
Don't, mother dear I can't bear
to hear you speak bitterly of Harry.
Remember love him, and cannot,
will not, believe anything against
him."
"Nettie's impetuosity brings the color
to her face, but as it recedes, leaving
it so white, its delicacy is very percep-
tib.e. She is very fragile these days,
so different from the rosy-cheeked lit
tie beauty of last summer.
81 don't understand how you can be.
ieve in his love after years silence"
says Mrs. Leach. but regrets it in.
stantly as she notices the panied ex-
preston on her daughters face.
IL will not try to explain, but have
perfect faith in him if l wait for years
or forever"
Saying this, Nettie leaves the seat
and walks toward the lake. Arriving
there and feeling tired after the exer,
ton of walking, she lies down under
the trees, where she soon falls asleep
An hour has passed away, when the
perfect stiffness is disturbed by step,
and Harry Shores comes in view. He
is sun-burned, and the careless look
hitherto seen on his face is gone Az
he looks down at Nettie, looking sc
pure and sweet before him, a some
thing shakes his strong young frame
Whose treachery is it that has made
the changes in that bright, sweet face
He has Just come from the house, where |
everything has been explained on both |
sides; how he has written continually
without receiving word in reply, and
that his mothers illness had kept him |
at her side until death released him,
after nearly year elapsing. He hai !
then hurried to Nettie, to have every.
thing explained. AS he looks on her,
a great longing to take her in his !
arms almost Qyermastars him. whey
