very White and bis mouth twitched neFy-
ously.
At the cry train, train" everybody be
gan to hustle about. Friends, baggage and
good-bys were mixed up unfortunately,
but Leigh was very still. He could hear his
anxious heart beat out its suspense in great
suffocating leaps, as the fateful train thun-
dered in.
Sure enough, there was Miss Summerhe'd;
and the fine-ooking young man who helped
her alght also took charge of her bag
gage.
Heaven have mercy Were gossip and
Joe Antrim right, after ali? But pshawl
any chivalrous fellow traveller would have
done as much.
Notwithstanding this plausible thought,
Leigh slipped into the home-bound coach
like thief, taking the corner seat in the
rear end of the car.
When Miss Summer6eld came in, the
terrible groom-to-be, to whom the bridal
party had dwindled, even he, was not in
attendance. Marie carried her own grip.
The man felt tremor of hope CULVER all
over him, something like an electric cur
rent She took the third seat from the
door and leaned her head on her hand weari

face. but some way he felt that this New
Years Eve was not what she wished. .,
was she in trouble, too? He had half a
mind TO 20 to her; the seat directly behind
her was providentiaily empty; he could
whisper Marie" over the back of her seat
when his courage warranted it.
At the next stop he took advantage OF
the stir of the passengers and slipped into
the coveted groove. Blessed privileged BE
had not been near, so near her for years,
and his heart was on fire. When he could
wait no longer. he whispered over the bar
rier: "Mariel"
| She looked up, surprised and startled.
| After the confusion had left her lovely
! face, she gave him her hand gingerly and
/ asked in strained tones: How came you
here, Mr.. Reyburng"
81 could not help il" he confessed, flush
ing but looking straight at her. Il wanted
TO be near you once more. You don't know
how miserable am without YOU"
There was a world of emotion in the I'M
| dertone, but he kept bravely on:
Il came down to Rockland for nothing
else than that l might get a glimpse of YOU
felt it would comfort me to ride home In
the same coach-to-night of al nights"
He stopped and looked at her in such pit
iful, hungry hearted way. 1t was all out
now, this confession of his. He meant to
make it at the risk of everything before his
heart failed him-and he had done So
OF course she could do what she pleased
with it, and him, too; he had staked and
would win, or lose, ali. Putting his elbow on
the barrier and leaning little toward her,
he waited for her to speak. And her face
was a study. Presently she gasped out:
/ ''Then you aren't to be married to-nightY
The interrogation snapped the last thread
holding Leigh Reyburn's great love in re
serve.
marie, darlingl Could you-did you think
: %, HeavenI as if could love anyone but
: you'll o, Marie"
S The whitepess of his face was terrible t.
see; but it all dawned upon her at once
LILO, Leighl"-she put out both he
hands, and two great tears stole down he
cheeks to finish the sentence more eloquent
ly than words.
When the train stopped at Gladbrook,
very happy couple alighted. And out acros
the moonlit snow, from the belfry bars 0
the gray stone church came the merry Chin
of bells:

God knew how famished of heart he was!
He would take the down train, get of at
Rockland when she changed cars for Glad
brook No one could prevent him from
riding home in the same coach with her;
and even that would be a blessed comfort.
Then, maybe, something would come of it.
Who knew
In Is minutes he was inside his great
coat and locking the hall door, with a ner-
vous, glad excitement stealing over him,
like the coming of new day. ten-min-
utes' wax brought him to the station.
''Going away for the New Year" Queried
the agent pleasantly, handing Reyburn the
required pasteboard.
20, little way" he replied, absently,
pulling on his gloves.
Scarcely had he settled himself in the
outward bound train than Joe Antrim
thumped him on the shoulder and sang
out: "Hulloi going away on a blowout, !
? suppose? Well, so am /. Some are going
away, and some are coming home"
In the awkward silence which followed
Joe's voluble introduction, he seemed 10
read Reyburn's thoughts, for, without look
ing further for reply, he began again
Miss Summarized is coming eo-night, they
say; and they say, too, that she is bringing
her best fellow with her. Gladbrook look:
for a wedding at the Summerheld home to
morrow. But, of course, l don't know; il
is only gossip, maybe"
Having thus delivered himself, Joe An
trim, without weiting for reply, betook him
self to the smoker, leaving Reyburn in JUS
the state of mind he intended, halfway be
tween insanity and desperate intent.
But by and by Reyburn's mind cleared t.
Joe's last sentence. Only gossip o
course that was all; but Joe was mean t.
hash it over, to him of all persons, and i
such an insinuating manner too. Well, b
would go on to Rockland now If ne met he
complete bridal party; he would see for him
self, and if it was all true, why, he woul'
not go home that night, and perhaps Glad
brook would never see him again.
At Rockland he had only few minute
to wait between trains, and already tn
home-bound one was waiting on a side-track
Purchasing his ticket, he ensconeec himsel
where he could plainly see the passenger

"Now for the bridal party, at least tn

The Advantare OF ono Eye.

During the late spanish-American
war certain old colonel who had lost
On eye at the battle OF Gettysburg was
very indignant because he was put
aside as physically incapacitated, when
he applied for admission to one OF the
New York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin the
colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal interview with
the president. He succeeded in gain
ing an audience, and the president,
after listening to his plea, said, kindly:
"But, my good Col. J., you
have only one eye"
Just so, sir" was the prompt re-
ioinder, but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eyef
When aim my gun l shan't have to
close the otherl''
