WILL O. THE MILL.
BY ROBERT LOUIS srzvxSsox.

e. nearly three years VIII and Mar1ory
continued on these terms, seeing each other
once or twice a week without any word Of
hove between them; and for ell that time I
believe VIII was nearly es happy as a man
can be. He rather stinted himself the pleas
ure Of seeing her; and he would often walk
halt way over to the parsonage, and thon
back again, as il to whst his appetite. In
DECD there was one corner Of the road,
whence he could ses tho church spiro wsdged
intoa crevice Of the valley between sloping
frwoods, with o triangular snatch Of plain
by way OF background, which he greatly
affected as o place to sit and morhlioe In be-
fore returning homeward; and the peasants
got so much into the habit of finding him
thero In the twilight that they gave it the
name Of evil O. the Mills corner.n
At the end Of the three years Mariory
played him q sad rrick by suddenly marrying
somebody else. Win kept his countenance
hravely, and merely remarked that, for as
little as he Enew Of women, he had acted very
prudently in not marrying her himself three
yaus before. She plainly knew very little
Of har own mind, and, In spite Of deceptive
manner, was as f1ckle and Eighty as tho rest
Of them. He had to congratulate himself on
~A SS$of~s AN SNkAS ~ VSVNAAA tAhC q ulSIci
opinion Of his wisdom in consequence.
But ut heart, he was reasonably displeasea;
moped a good deal for a month or two, and
fell away in flesh, to the establishment Of his
serving lads.
1t was perhaps q year after this marriage
that Will was awakened late ono night by
tho sound of a horse gallopins o n the road,
followed by p~recipitats knocking at tho inn
door. He opened his window and saw a farm
servant, mounted and holding y led horse by
the bride, who told him to mako what haste
he could and go along with him; for Marjory
was dying, and had sent urgently to fetch
him to her bedside. Will WIS no horseman,
and made so little speed upon the way that
the poo: young wife was very near her END
before he arrived. But they had some
minutes talk in private, and no was present
and wept very bitterly while she breathed her
last.
