Ny dear girl, I want you to know that

you have told me. I am NIKE anxious than
ever that You should 60 home with me;

1t was very late when the ladies'
babe each other goodnight. In due
time they arrived at Mrs. Walk
er's home, where they were met and vel
coined by her husband, whose curiosity
was much aroused when introduced to Miss
Morgan. He could not remember the
name among any Of his acquaintance,
still her cOuutenance seemed to partially
call up an image Of some forgotten mem
Dry
Upon the first opportunity Mrs. Walker
related to her husband Carrie s story, to
which he replied: Annie, / know why her
face looked so familiar She is a daughter
of A. Il. BOlen- When she was a little
miss frequently saw her at the store.
am glad you became acquainted with her,
and prevailed upon her to come here. We
VIII assist her IN every way possible. How
honorable for her to wish to explain her
]
ity. If you can be pleased with her sOci-
ETY. L hope she will make her home with
US, as she would be so much company for
you. Probably you had better let her
know that I have recognized her.
Carrie was really glad to know she had
been recognized by Mr.. Walker, as she
now felt she was not cOncealing anything
from them.
She was very successful in getting
scholars, the only difficulty being thar
she had too many. She became q great
favOrite. If any were sick or suffering,
she would watch with and care for them,
losing no opportunity to impress upon
them the fact that our loving Savior had Of
fered Himself a sacrifice, that we through
Him could have a haven of eternal rest
Carrie had been two years in her noun
tain home without hearing from or know
ing anything of her home friends. She
and Mrs. Walker visited a celebrated
spring in Colorado. Carries health was
not good-she had been applying herself
too closely.
A gentleman by the name of Mason,
quite extensively engaged in mining, had
been very attentive to her for a year or
more, and proposed marriage. Carrie re-
turned his love, but was ashamed to let
him know that she was living under an
assumed name. She had promised to
give him an answer by the next Sabbath,
Mrs. Walker advised her, if she really
loved the gentleman, to tell him plainly
all the facts, as he dixie any true gentle
many would only see the greater cause for
admiration.
On Saturday, as the ladies were coming
from the bath houses, some servants were
pushing an inYalid's chair toward them, III
which was seated a helpless man. As
they came up to it, a voice said: My
h To,
ing father?"
Carrie tainted. Upon recovering she was
conducted to her fathers room, and there
was a reconciliation.
Her mother was dead! Her father a
helpless invalid!
When he supposed he was alone, Carrie
heard him repeating:
Though the mills Of God grind slowly.
Yet they grind exceeding small
Though with patience He stands waiting
With eZactness grinds He all"
Her flial love was aroused, and she
determined as long as he was a helpless
invalid she would devote her time to tax
ing care of him.
Mr.. Mason came for the answer that he
thought was to make him supremely happy
or very miserable.
Carrie explained her situation, acllnOWl-
edged he was very dear to her, but that
duty compelled hertO stay with her father.
She would not leave him; they have tray
eled ever since.
Carrie has written to Mr.. Mason that
they expect to come home next fall; that
her father has almost entirely recovered.
Mr.. Mason is building q very fine house.
Carrie, in writing to Mrs. Walker, says
she "has lovely dleams-Of wedding bells!
orange blossoms! happy home! a loving
husband"
I sincerely hope her brightest dreams
may be realized.
Mr.. Bolen cannot bear to have his
daughter out of his sight, and seems not
to care for or think Of anything else,
unless it may be that he realizes that:
Regrets are the natural property of
gray hairs, and he enjoys, in common with
all other men, at least, his share of
such inheritance. "-An9ericcn Commercial
