Reuben sat silent. The moon was
slowly rising, q great, silver disk in the
sky. Afar in Reuben's native home
Beulah saw herrise.
The white light flooded the great,
stubbly field with all its CHASTITY relics of
the battle, and the handsome face of Du
Bots looked white as Parian marble. He
spoke again, and his voice had altered
strangely. His hands moved stiffiy as
he drew Il ring from his finger.

Reuben could not see him for the tears
that dimmed his eyes, but their hands
met in a long, lingering clasp. And still
the moon shone down upon them, riding
her course. and BeGlah watched it.
Tell him loved him all the while, "
she whispered. Aud he at the moment
was saving to himself:

married man, who loved his wife, and
Beulah must have known it. The poor
fellow was gallant to all women. Well,

L"O SulIutC L lOL Their lOSJ uedT one.
That year, for the first time, Mrs. Bar
ton did not give her girl a birthday
party. Beulah was very i'll on that an
niversary, and though she did not die,
she settled down into an invalid-one
of those interesting persons who exist in
every village, to whom people take jelly
and flowers and religious books, and of
whose case the doctors find it impossible
to give Il diagnosis.
1t was great trial for Mrs. Barton,
VINO was E]irited person, and who final
ly became not so sorry for her daugh-
ter as angry with her.
"Of coarse Reuben Spicer was very
nice young man." she said to herself,
and | dunno as should have objected;
but widdrrs marry again in couple of
years sometimes, and feel as If Beulah
needn't carry on so so long"
And when August came and Mary
land peaches were ripe and stood in big
hasl;etfU!s at Mr.. Spicer's door, Mrs.
Barton, thinner and sharper of feature
than Cfy,!e, but still rs neatly cuiled and
coiiarel AID coiffured as ever, stood be-
side the couch on which Beulah lay
rropped up by pillows, and said slowly
and GeciSively:
The last birthday party you had,
Bculah Barton, was in sixty-one. Two
ye~2s I've skipped it. This year I'm
goin' to give you one"
Mother" cried Beulah.

ever she wished to be impressive, re-
turned to Yankee dialect.
"Mother" repeated Beulah, when
