But by and by Reyburn's mind
cleared to Joe's last sentence. Only
gossip. OF course that was ALL but
Joe was mean to hash it over, to him
of all persons, and in such an insinu-
ating manner, too. Well, he would go
on to Rockland now if he met her
complete bridal party; he would see
for himself and if it was all true, why,
he would not go home that night, and
perhaps Gladbrook would never see
him again.
At Rockland he had only a few Min
utes to wait between trains, and all
ready the home-bound one was wait
ing on a side-track. Purchasing hia
ticket, he ensconced himself where he
could plainly see the passengers leave
the cross-train.
"Now for the bridal party, at least
the bride and groom" he said, trying
to be jocular with himself, although
his face was very white and his mouth
twitched nervously.
At the cry train, train" everybody
began to hustle about. Friends, bag
gage and goodbys were mixed up in
discriminatory, but Leigh was very
still. He could hear his anxious heart
beat out it's suspense in great suffocat-
! ing leaps, as the fateful train thun-
dered in.
Sure enough, there was Miss Sum.
merfield; and the fne-looking young
man who helped her alight also took
charge of her baggage.
Heaven have mercy, We're gossip
and Joe Antrim right, after all? But
pshawi any chvllrous 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 Summerfield 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
current. She took the third seat from
the door and leaned her head on her
hand YEARLY. A strange air for d
bride, thought the man in the corner
He could not see her face, but some
way ne felt that this New Years Eve
was not what she wished O. was she
in trouble, too? He had half a minu
to go to her; the seat directly behind
her was providentially empty; he
could whisper Marie" over the back
of her seat when his courage warranted
it.
She looked up, surprised and start
led. After the confusion had left her
lovely face, she gave him her hand
gingerly and asked in strained tones:
How came you here, Mr.. Reyburn?'
Il could not help it," he confessed,
flushing but looking straight at her.
81 wanted to be near you once more.
You don't know how miserable | am
without you"
There was a world of emotion in the
undertone, but he kept bravely on:
81 came down to Rockland for moth
ing else than that | might get a
glimpse Of you. felt It would comfort
me to ride home in the same coach
tonight of all nights.
He stopped and and looked at her in
such a pitiful, hungry-hearted way.
II 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. all.

lied what he was doing he had given
up the silent rooms again to Christ
mas party. But no more New Year
frolics under his roof, he said; not I'm
til-well, maybe He stopped short
in his musings; still the remnant of
the mistletoe hung in the bracket work
of the old chandelier and he remem-
bered now, as he looked at it, how pure
and fair Alicia Merrill looked When
Herman Montrose kissed her beneath
its potent spell week. ago. She put
him in mind o, so much, of her. Gov
ering his eyes for a moment with
trembling hand, he went to the win
dow and looked out White and glist-
ening as an angels wing lay the snow
on the intervening fields. Over there
was her house, but she had been away
now for a long time studying music,
and he had heard, for she did not
write to him, that her voice was simply
divine, and as a musician she was won
derful.
Nevertheless, it was a night Tx
this, nodding toward the flooding
moonlight outside, that they-he and
she-had their misunderstanding A
spasm of pain crossed his fine face and
he caught his breath little. He could
not tell just how it came about, never
clearly understanding, but that night
so much like this, and New Years Eve,
too, marked the beginning of their d.
verging paths which came togetheI
again after awhile!
Tomorrow was the glad New Yer
again. Would it's happy greetings De
only mockery to him?
Suddenly a thought, which had
smouldered in his mind for days,
flashed up like a CLEAN of heavenly
light, radiating his whole being.
She was coming home tonight on the
late train; and he was so hungry to see
her: only God knew how famished o.
heart he was!
He would taAe the down train, get
off at Rockland when she changed cars
for Gladbrook. 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 nervous. glad excitement steal
! ing over him, like the coming Of a new
day A ten-minutes' walk 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, absent
ly, pulling on his gloves.
Scarcely had he settled himself in
the outward-bound train than Joe An
trim thumped him on the shoulder and
sang out: "Hu1lo! going away on a
blowout, I suppose? Well. so am I
Some are going away and some are
coming home"
In the awkward silence which fol
! lowed Joe's voluDIe introduction, he
seemed to read Reyburn's thoughts
! for, without looking further for reply
he began again: Miss Summerfeld Is
coming tonight. they say: and they
say. too, that she is bringing her best
fellow with her. Gladbrook looks fol
a wedding at the Summerfield home TO-
morrow. But, of course, / don't know;
it is only gossip, maybe"
Having thus delivered himself. 10,
Antrim, without waiting for reply, be
took himself to the smoker. leavinl
Reyburn in just the state Of mind h,
intended. halfway between INSANITY
and desperate intent.

WARS AND MATRIMoNY.
Cupid Is Much the busiest in Times
of Peace and Pros
perity.

There is a close connection between
marriage and the price of wheat, beef.
pork, beans, corn and other things
which go to make up the main portion
of human food. As the prices of these
commodities go up the number of mar
riages goes down. From 1851 to 1854
times were good, food was cheap, and
the marriage rate in Massachusetts,
went up to 26 per 1000. Between 1855
and 1859 there was great depression Of
trade, aud in 1858 the marriage rate
went down to II per 1000 The years
from 1878 to 1879 form another period
of depression. Factories were closed
and manufacturers of every kind suf-
fered severely. In one year. at least,
crops were short and the prices Of food
were high. The result was immediate
~ seen'in matrimony, for in 1874 the
number of marriages went down from
p per 1000 of the population to IS.
and in 1876 and the following two years
declined to IS per 1,00O-a tremendous
falling off from &c per 1.Oc0 the figure
attained in 1854. which was the banner
year in the state Of Massachusetts, for
matrimony.
Almost as unfavorable as that Of
hard times is the influence of war upon
matrimony. Whenever Mars is in the
ascendent Cupid's stock goes down.
During the civil war the number Of
marriages in this country fell of from
% per 1000 of population to II per
1000, and Immediately after the civil
war was ended. in 1865. the number rose
TO % per 1000, declining in 1869 TO 81
