ing downs. 1t is 81 district OF babbling
waters, and fresh winds that come
blowing freely across the far-reachingg
slopes; a vale OF pleasant lights and
faint shadows, full Of sweetness and
restful calm.
There are still some people living
here who have only seen the sea from
their hill-tops, ard have never Travelled
by railway in their lives. The Neon, a

briskly all about the village, winding

The month was April, and the time
four O'Clock on a Sunday afternoon. Il
young man and girl were standing
side by side, leaning against q gate
which opened into a wide field. Be
yond the field rose a softly rounded
hill, half grass and half woodland; and
over all there was o delicious rainy
blue of the spring Sky. The pair stood
close together with their hands clasped:

she could have been! He was glad that
Olive had found such a compartment and
lucy's affection for Olive was evidently
real and earnest When Mrs, Hooper
came in and busted herself at the tea
table, she did not disturb the harmony
OF the hour. She was a woman Ct few
words, and although Michael was an
Eastmeon boy and she had known him
from l1abyhood, she Gid not harass him
with those recollectionis Of old days
which he SO much disliked.
On the whole it was q happy tea
drinking, and Michael was in high
good hnmor when he rose to go. Olive
went with him little way. He had to
walk five miles to Petersfield railway
station; but the evening was fresh and
sweet, and every bit of the old road was
well known to him,
The lovers stood still in the pleasant
lane between the budding hedges and
said good-bv. He looked down into
the strong brown light of hen: eyes, and
felt that he loved her better than any
girl he had ever seen in his life; and lie
was contented with her firm belief in
aim. The wind stirred 81 few curly
brown locks that had escaped from
their pins and he smoothcd them with
tender hand. She was so lovely and
fresh and trystful that he would have
given anything, just then, to have car
ried her back to London TO brighten his
hard-worling life there.
''Good-by, dearest Olive" he said.
Il T.
But you know am working for you.
Good-by. darling, once more"
This was one of those moments
which live on through lifetime.
Olive Toasted on that farewell for many
a day afterwards. For d few seconds
she stood where he had left her, and
then turned homewards, half happy
and half sad. Some birds were flying
across the Sky; there was a faint tinkle
of sheep-bells from the downs, and the
peace Of the Sabbath evening seemed to
sootlle and still her heart.

warm welcome and did her utmost to
nurse her back to strength; but no
power on earth could stay the progress
of the disease. Lucy had not come
penniless to her aunt's cottage; she
was not a burden. She repaid Mrs.
Hooper's kindness with gratitude and
affection, and yet the good woman al
ways felt that there was mysterious
barrier between them. Like the neigh
bors, she was a little afraid of Lucy.
There was only one person who had
ever stepped over the wall of reserve
that Lucy Cromcr had built up around
her. Olive Winfield was her sole friend.
It was to her that Olive had first con-
fded the delightful news that Michael
Chase was coming to spend a Sunday
in the village; coming down from Lon
don on purpose to see his betrothed.
When Lucy pleased she could very
soon set people at their ease. In few
minutes Michael was answering all her
questions, and feeling hattered by the
interest which she displayed in his
affairs.
While she was drawing him on to
talk about himself Ono difficult task),
he was adnliring her more and more,

the man was TALK ing, and the girl was
watching him while he talked, and
drinking in every word with eager de-
light.
She was lovely girl, and her lowell
ness was Of that rare kind which can
flourish in any atmosphere without
losing it's natural refinement. Hers
was an oval face with delicatelv-chis-
eled features, and a mouth with soft
red lips exquisitely cut, lips that We're
at once passionate and proud, but al
ways tender Her skin had that war1n
unacrto11c of clear brown which gives a
fuller richness to any beauty. But,
perhaps, it was in the large liInpld brown
eyes that the chief charm was found:
and there was something SO true and
trustful in their gaze that most men
would have forgotten to talk and locked
deep into their brown depths. Nothing,
however, had ever been known 10 stay

had raised him to the post OF CORE

And Battersbv's firm was good firm

his brains would have done little for

his unconquerable pluck and determi-

singing, and fresh yet gentle breeze

stood leaning against the gate. Yet
Michael, absorbed in himself, was un-
conscious Of all this sweetness.
At last he paused for want of breath,
and then Olive seized the opportunity

'.Do you LOVE HIM, BECAUSE Do"

''Dc yOT LOVE HIM, BECAUSE DO"
"What do you think Of hi1n?" said
Olive, looking UP at Lucy Croner,
with bright eager face.
The elder girl was lying on the
couch, and the younger sat on stool
by her side. They Were alone together
in the little room, and the evening
light, shining through the small panes
imbedded in lead-work, rested soft
ly on Lucy:s worn features and
Olives 1t-brown head. The day was
ending in golden calm; out-of-doors the
patches Of velvet moss still held the
rain-d1ops, and the red blossoms of the
Towering c,r1.ant sparkled with mois-
ture: but the wind had died away. and
there was a great peace.
Lucy looked down with one of her
faint smiles, and Laid her thin hand on
her friends shoulder.
/ 81 think he is most fortunate man, -
she said. But this answer did not
please Olive at all.

pointed tone-;sis that all you have to
say? Why. everyone else seems to

through the dusk to the great city. She
almost started when Lucy spoke again.
What words were these her friend was
saying?
when you are in London, Olive, you
will be glad that you once had home
in the country. You must not let any
thing come between you and your
sweet memories. You must not drop
your habit of watching the clouds and
the changing lights and shades, even
when you have lost your old green
fields. Don't take the world int your
soul.
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, We lay waste our

It is often so with those who go to
dwell in great cities, and earn their

how well they knew her when they

be thankful to

Lucy smoothed the brown hair away
from the young face and soothed her
with loving words, as though she had
been little child. This woman, who
was going out of the world, pitied the
other, who had to tread the old, thorny
path. She had been left upon the road
alone; some had fastened on before,
some had loitered and stayed behind;
the hand that had clasped hers had sud-
denly loosetl it's hold, and then she had
stumbled blindly on in utter anguish
and desolation; but that misery, too,
had passed away All that remained to
her now was peace; the end was near;
the tired feet had only a little way
farther to go.
She would not paint blissful picture
of Olives future and so fill the girls
mind with false hopes; nor would she
even promise to love Michael tor her
sake. And yet she talked in such a
fashion that Olive forgot her dissatis-
faction-a dissatisfaction which owed
it's origin more to Michael himself than
to Lacy's lukewarm praise Of him. She
spoke of the right way OF living ones
life; OF synapathies that throw out
tendrils and clasp other lives; of that
unspeaka BILE calm which comes to those
who are true and who love truth, even
if their hearts are torn with suffering.
And Olive, hearing her friend speak,
seemed no longer afraid Of anything.
She took Lncy's hand and looked at her
with grateful eyes.
II shall never forget your words"
she said. @'You have made me, feel
strong"
