They were both graduates of female

that they should differ upon point of
etiquette. They were unable to agree
that a lady did not transgress the

liquid blue eyes, '"she should retire to

warmly rejoined the petite damsel with

The gold locks Of the gardens queen;
The chestnut from his liingly throne
Reigned Ger the dewy lawn, and yet
Their grace they had not wholly shown
Before my love and had met

The breeze that kissed the violet
Shook white snow from the hawthorn tree;
With breath Of nlacs freshly blown
My heart was lifted up, and yet
There was sweetness all unknown
Until my love and had met
Before my love and had met
The whispers Of the pines heard;
Low warblings paid the shelter debt
Where leaves concealed a happy bird;
The river rippled DER the stone,
The air was thrilled with gladness, yet
Music has gained deeper tone
Now that my love and have met
Before my love and had met
The earth was good, the fields we're fair
The lands where suns shall never set,

was a man grown now, but there was

Light in his eyes. He had grown hand
somer and more elegant, and as | looked
upon him thought him very beautiful.
My first impulse was to extend my
hand in greeting to my old friend, but
something in his manner checked me.
He evinced no sign of pleasure in meet
ing me, but looked upon Inc as one
would upon a stranger. The thought
came to me that he had perhaps forgot
ten the little girl he had once known.
or that, at least, ne did not recognize
her in the tall woman who now stood
before him. There had been wonderful
changes in my appearance within the

W uo 50. Inc STORM was over and the
first wild surges of my grief had stilled,
leaving me calm and collected, yet | was
unhappy, and below the placid surface
my soul was in 4 turbulent state. Ny love
for VIII Hanley knew no diminution,
but burned as deeply as ever, amount
ing to a mad infatuation that refused
to be conquered or quelled. Sometimes
when alone in my own room my calm
ness and self-control gave way, and in
secret my tears flowed and my heart
moaned for my lost love.
Then one day there came to me new
source of grief, and one that weighed
heavily on me. do not know whether
there is more pain in disappointment
in love, or in bringing disappointment
to another. Perhaps. having the bitter
experience of denial myself, ! knew
fully how to feel for another.
Charles Cornell came down TO town
one Sunday and took me for a drive. It
was in the early autumn, and the day
and the roads were fine and the air ex-
hilarating, and as we sped along the
smooth lanes ! felt thrill of pleasure
and life, such as ! had not known for
weeks. My companion was in better
spirits than had ever seen him. and
he laughed and chatted with gayety
and lightneSs of heart that was con-
tagious, and for the nonce | almost
forgot the sorrow that burdened me.
We had gone several miles, and had
ridden little way in silence, my com.
panion becoming suddenly taciturn,
when he turned his eyes to me, and, ex-
aiming my features closely, asked:
do you enjoy this ride, Miss
0wens?"

There is but one thing about it that
| do not like" he remarked.
What is that?" | questioned.
1T is the end" he answered. IF il
could continue on, and on, forever, l
would ask for nothing more"
You'd get tired of it before a
great while, | think, and enjoy a walk
for change"
Whether walking or riding, it would
be all the same to me if you were by
myside."
| blushed and hung my head. I
realized only too well to what his
thoughts were leading, and | would
have checked him, but | had not the
courage to speak out. could not say
or do anything TO sadden his spirits,
and ! waited in dread and trembling for
him to proceed.

look like monks, the object being TO
avoid soaring the caribou by the autter

fond of eggs not yet Matched, but about
to be. They are much addicted to
liquor and tobacco, and it is common
