.aOI, Frank, Frank, = pleaded the

thought we might have such a pleas
ant walk down the lane and through
the WOO d-but- but-oh, Frank, what
is it, dear2"
Now, a young man who could con-
tinue surly after such pleading as
this deserves to be cut off for ever
from a true girls love. He must be
heartless-Wh Frank wasn't, and
he must have no sense of manliness in
his composition-and Frank, in spite
of his present idiotic conduct, was a
manly, noble fellow. He looked into
EthePs eyes. he saw the pain he had
caused her, and-Why, he repented in
q moment. He grasped her little
hands in his own, he drew her close
I up to him, he peered at her lovely
face under the snow-white sunb onnet,
and then, in spite OF the old lady In
the mob-cap, who was standing at the
cottage door, he kissed the pure, fresh
lips OF his loved one, and brought
back the smile of happiness on the
dear face!
Have you ever seen lovely girl
whose face has beamed with Joy, and
| yet from her eyes have streamed dia-
mond drops of moisture, called tears?
| It was so with Ethel at that moment
she smiled and she Wept. The sun
shone, and yet drops OF rain fell! O.,
dear. loving, tender-hearted woman!
They walked hand-in-hand up the
| flower bordered garden walk. The
bliss of Eden was restored to them.
The subtle green-eyed evil one had
skunk away defeated-abashed by a
pure girls love.
An hour after, Ethel and Frank
were seated on a grassy slope over
| looking a rich stretch of meadow land.
| Behind them was the wood through
which they had come. The sun was
now dipping the horizon amid a SPLEEN
dor that was awe-inspiring. The
| whole western sky was flooded with
glory. It seemed as il the gates OF
the celestial city were opened, and
| forth-came the radiance streaming
| from Gods heaven illumined thronel
| The lovers watched the scene with
out a word. Their arms were en-
twinedrounde each other EthePs head
lay on Franks breast her eyes fixed
on the distant grandeur. Gradually
the green and purple and gold faded:
the gates OF the celebrated city were
closed, and nothing was left but the
afterglow, which in a few moments
vanished
Then they rose and turned their
steps homeward. When they reach
ed the garden gate Ethel said
Frank, dear, | have something to
ask you. Will you answer me?"
ASK and see, darling. can refuse
you nothing
"Why did you look so strange
| when you came tonight
Frank WINGED. Fool that lie had
been to doubt the dear girl who loved
him so truly.
Don't ask me darling; I am
| ashamed of myself. And he kissed
her.
Tell me, Frank: do, please had
| rather know, and you promised just
now youwould answer question"
was Jealous" said Frank, clasping
the girl close to HIM.
"IeaIous" s-.. ...--s
eyes; but don't mention it again,
darling. l was an idiot to let such
feelings enter my mind"
''Jealous!' again exclaimed Ethel.
Jealous of me, Frank
II plead guilty, darling, and am
CONDEMNED by mine own self"
But of whom, dear Frank? Oh, I
have it! [ have it! You saw Edgar
Dainton leaving the garden gate, and
you thought-you thought--Oh,
you foolish, foolish dear" And this
sweet maiden laughed such a, merry
laugh, that even Frank was compelled
to laugh too. Then she became
solemn and still in moment She
put her two hands on Frank S
shoulders. She looked up into
Franks eyes. Then she said Fl
Dearest Frank, all my heart is
yours. All my thoughts are yours.
All my love is yours Neither in
thought, word, or deed have l ever
wronged you, and never will as long
as live. Do not, dear, ever pain me
again by doubling mel"
Oh, woman, woman, blessed wom-
an! Let thy heart be once captivated
let thy love be once fixed, it is fixed
for ever!
Frank was never again Jealous OF
Ethel. For a quarter century they
lived man and wife, and the green -eyed
monster never once dared enter to
foul the sanctity of their earthly par
adise.
