little" and say to her that love her as
dearly as you do and ask her if she will
come into the garden for an hour this
evening"
He was waiting, thoughtfully, under
one of the graceful willows of the garden,
when he lifted his eyes and saw Liliss
leading Rachel toward him.
He was shocked. Not but that the wo-
manly face and round figure were pleas
ing enough, but he bad anticipated all
Hilda's beauty and grace, and Rachel's
grave simplicity for the moment chilled
his ardor. But be it to his credit said
that no time was lost in taking both
Rachel's little cold, trembling hands.
"Mr. Arnold" she said, "there is some
mistake; but Lilias would lead me here.

Arnold, truthfully; but tell me, Lilias,

Rachel, cannot tell you how beautiful
you are to me but will you let me try ="
Hllda, staring in astonishment from her
chamber window, saw Mr. Arnold put one
Of Racbeps hands upon his arm and
walked slowly away with her under the
frs, the child Lilias caressing the other
hand.
They did not come back until the moon
had set, and then diamond engagement
ring sparkled on Rache's hand.
1t is true that Hilda lost no time in ex-
pressing her astonishment and displeas-
ure, but her sister was too happy, for
once, to care for her cruel sarcasm and
scorn.
In the autumn the marriage between
Lionel Arnold and Rachel Dehart took
place. 1t was an exceptionally happy
one, as both deserved it to be.
Lilias is unspeakably dear, because,
they declare, they were led to it by the
hand of the little child.
