dered that she could ever have fancied
herself too old for joy. She wondered
yet more that she had not known from
the very first that it was Tom, and Tom
only, to whom she belonged.
At last she told him about Austin
Bland.
81 have been trying all summer to
love him, " she said frankly. 81 thought
it was the thing to do, but l had got
little tired of trying. He is coming to
see me at 3 o'clock tomorrow because
he has something important to say to

gently with the erring. shall be back
by the o'clock train to console you for
his loss. "
The next afternoon Austin Bland was
punctual. He came as one who wears
the willow. Sadness was in his voice
and on his brow. A weed ON his hat
would not more clearly have emphasize
ed him for sorrows own.
81 CO." he said, II go this very
night from you who are the queen of
my art, and l must never see your too
fair face again.
What" cried Eleanor, startled for
once from her stronghold of composure.
mo, never / am to be married next
month TO some one who loves me; but,
ali, she is not you! have let myself
forget all in the supreme joy of your
presence, but l must forget no longer.
Pity me! You can afford me so much
grace. Gree, dare not drink your
cup"
1t was really quite "a mastery exhi-

hearted and ungrateful of Eleanor to
smile at it, as am afraid am bound
to confess that she did
II am to be married almost as soon
as you are" she said amiably, 'to Mr..
Tom Rhodes, one of the owners of the
Wheel of Fire mine. But do not let us
lose sight Of each other. Your sketches
of Ryefield scenery are quite too lovely,
l should like to give you an order foi

may not altogether feel bereaved Of
the old home.
"You are only too good-too good
and kind" Austin Bland said mourn.

you again. Goupil & Co. are my agents.
Farewell, queen Of my summerr'
And he made his exit, this knight Of
the sorrowful countenance. after the
most approved theories of romance. Al
half past O'Clock Eleanor told her lit
tie tale of the afternoon to Tom Rhodes,
and then she said, with laugh: $50,
you see, couldn't have had him, aftel

"Oh, l forgot that, but you know,

And indeed Tom knew, for the eyes
that looked into his lit the growing
dusk with their great light of joy, and
the lips that had been strangers hither-

to his once and forever. Eleanor was
won.
After all, 80 was not old age. These
two found that they were young enough
still for ecstasy. The moon came up in
the east and looked at them curiously.
Yes, they were certainly lovers. The
moon has got used to lovers, for she is
nearly 5000 years old, and she is not
likely to make a mistake. Eleanor won.
