the soil and plant the crops, full Of hope
and confidence. With the return of the
bright spring sunshine, came back the
grand expectations that ever buoy up
the hearts of honest, struggling NOR
tails, and the faces Of the pioneers shed
the cloud of fear and doubt that had
hung over them like dark mantle
John Green was among the more in
dustrious and persevering of all the
farmers in his section. He began work
early, and every day he was in his field
plowing and planting. He had a double
incentive to work, for his family must
live and that debt on the farm must be
paid. He went at it cheerfully, and as
he trudgcd to and tro across the field in
the long burrows, singing blithely, no
one would have guessed what pangs of
trouble had racked his soul all through
the long, tedious winter. He was not
of a brooding disposition, and even un-
der the most trying circumstances he
could feel cheerful 50 long as there was
ever so dim ray Of ligat before him.
He had work to do now, and there was
prospect OF good results, so he felt
confident once more, and in the thought
of the bright future which his fancy
painted he lost slghJ of the hardshlps OF
the present.

when the long silence was becoming
oppressive and she felt that something
must he said, she decided to come out
boldly and beg his forgiveness. Lay.
ing her hand on his arm she looked
wistfully into his face, and with lips
all a-tremhie, said:

must not mind what | say. do not
mean to doubt you, dear, good Pau. and
| want You to forgive me, will you.
Paul, and forget what was foolish
enough to say2'

mained in Louise's heart and ranked

was reading medical WORKS and WIS
going to be a doctor lie had taken one
course at n medical college and hoped
to return the next fall to take another
if he was fortunate enough to raise a
crop on his claim and get money
to pay his way. His sole possession
was the claim, and he could mortgage
that rs Green had his, ION long time and
easy terms, but he hoped to have a home
ere long for himself and Louise, so he
hesitated to raise money in that way.
Old Markham had money, but he was
opposed to Paul's plans, and he refused
to let him have dollar ON any kind of

CHAPTER VII.
OUT IN A STORM.

The lovers had gone quite a distance
from home, walking on in that unmind-
full way, so wrapped up in thoughts of
more important things, that they entire
ly forgot about time and distance
Lovers never did have any conscious
ness of time, and it always seems that
when a couple become deeply en-
crossed in each others society and grow
oblivious to time, the little sprite
plays them trick and goes skimming
along running hours into minutes and
minutes into seconds. Such was the
way he treated Paul and Louise that
day, and when eventually they did come
back to their surroundings they found
that it was almost night, with the sun
hanging like great red ball low down
in the sky, but a few feet from the
earth, seemingly.
Louise was greatly surprised and
shocked when she saw how late it had
grown, and expressed a wish to return
home with all possible speed.
"Ah Paul, " said she, 'how could you
treat me so? Why didn't you turn back
before this?"
"'Why didn't you call my attention to
the fact that it was getting SO late?"
Paul said in reply.
II didn't know it. wasn't MOTTO
ing"
"Neither did l know it. But it don't
matter, Louise, Tor the moon will shine
out bright tonight and we are in no
danger OF getting lost
"Arc you sure of that, Paul?'
"Swe Of which. Louise?'
why, thot the moon viii shine out. "
'Why, | think it does. 1t ought to,
anyhow, and I reckon it will"
Louise had some doubts on the point,
and misrivings took possession Of her.
What if it became quite dark, and they
so far from home with no road the
greater part OF the way to guide them
bac]5 She began to worry and fret,
aud Paul began to console and comfort
Thus they went along for mile or So
and Louise began to feel more cheerful
But directly she espied q dark cloud
stealing up in the south. Only the edSe
Of it was visible as yet but it was stead
lily approaching and bade fair to mamie
the heavens within an hour.
"Paul," She said, what shall we dof
There win be no moon, and the night
will be cloudy, Ali, we shall get lost
and not ret home till morning What
will pa and mamma think?'
Don't, Louise" Paul replied be
calm, and don't fret. I'm sorry that WG

faIi spoke like one very deeply hurt,
nd N an instant Louise was all con-
rition. She saw that she had wounded
'aul, and she would not hurt him for
he world. She was anxious to make
.mends, but She was at loss how
o proceed, and again they walked
in silence. She thought ot various
