The drive of two miles was soon over
Dick hurried us into the parlor, where we
found his wife waiting to welcome US.
But missed some one. wondered where
Lucy Houston was. She was Dicks sister
and, therefore my cousin. I may as vel
state that the cousinship existed only in
about the third degree.
Where's Lucys" inquired.
"she's not far away" Richard answered
" She will be in very shortly, ! don't doubt. ,

came" Belle, Dicks wife, said.

"Go, by all means" said Belle, "you
shall be shown to your room when you re
turn. presume that the same will be
agreeable to all of you, as you are, no doubt,
fatigued."
"And heated also." Frank Burlei-' al

wondered II should not fnd Lucy In the
library. had spent many hours in there
with her-rieasant hours they had been.
Perhaps I might add that there had been
something OF sweetness to me In them.
Reaching the library door, opened it and
looked in. Yes, Lucy was there.
Sweet Lucy She was standing In an atti-
tude of expectancy. looking toward the door,
and made a delightful picture. She was
slender and graceful in figure. There was
a natural crimson in her cheeks her scar
let lips, just parted, showed the pearl-white
teeth within.
"Lucy ~ said.
"Walter !" she answered
took both her hands in mine. Some
very sweet sensations were within my
breast. She did not release herself. ]
drew her a step closer to ME.
"Lucy, sweet Lucy !" whispered.
"0h, Walter |" she murmured.
There had been some lover-like scenes be.
tween her and me before, but none to equal
this. My blood was in strange tumult.
Lucy, Lucy, love you'll - said
By some means or othor her head fell on
my shoulder.
"Toll me that you love me, my sweet !" ]
said 10 her.
~ love you ~ she H. injured.
"And will you be my wifef"
There wns a moment OF silence.
Answer me-" / said "Lucy, will
you"
"Yes, I will |" heard her murmur.
It was singular that at that moment an.
other face fioated between me and the sweet
one on my shoulder, and that throb Of pain
touched my heart. Singular. but true
And the face was that of Virginia Eglinton,
Frank Burleigh's cousin, q girl whom had
known for but o brief space.

were highest; in her company nc seemed to
be entirely happy. My conclusion was in
evitable-he loved her. / first repeated
those words with great feeling of pity for
him in my heart.
Strange enough, no thought of jealousy
on his account came to me. The possibility
Of his winning Lucy away from ME did not
occur to me. And yet he was handsome
and rich and talented. Why shouldn't
some such possibility have suggested itself 7
II some men had stood in my place the
mere fact of his loving her would have fired
them with jealousy and they would have
watched his every action.
We had been at Dicks q week over a
month when Frank Burleigh came to me
and made a confession of It all.
Walter" he said, something Of very
great importance has occurred to me since
came here"

but did not choose to betray my knowledge.
I'm listening" said, quietly.

tnued.
"And"-
at is your cousin Lucy Houston that
love. Oh, Walter, love her passionately-
madly !"
| half turned away. A strong pain was
surSing in my bosom for this man. To love
in vain. Oh, what bitter words
Walter, do you think there is any hope
for me ?" he questioned, eagerly.
What could | sayt For moment the
fact of Lucy's being my bttrothed wife
trembled on my lips; but did not speak
1t seemed to me that II could not lessen his
pain to hear such a thing from my lips. /
knew that 1t would be best for him to learn
his fate from Lucy herself. 1t would
satisfy him better and make him more con.
tented for her TO tell him that she did not
love him. So l gave him an ovasive
answer.
Nothing more of importance was said
upon the subject between us. But what
we had said gave me food for thought. A
day passed, and the subject was with me
continually. At first, only pity found u
place in may heart. There WAS no feelin :
OF triumph that the woman he loved was
mine. Then 1t occurred to me that 1t was
singular pity Was stronger emotion Than
love. Then, for the first time. | asked my
self a question that was worthy of thought,
"Do really love Lucy Houstonf"
The question gave me great deal Of
trouble. was not yet ready to answer, I
had told her that loved her. Moro than
that. when said so. firmly believed 1t.
The question haunted me. In vain told
myself that would be true-that II was
mere folly for such a thing to occur to me.
