that she loved him.
OF course, she knew it was all non

She might have been little more re-

and plus, in her relations with George.
And from that moment her interest in
the church fair languished.
1t CHANGED that DR.. Montgomery met
Miss Wynne coming out of her fathers
house one morning some ten days after
the public announcement of the lottery.
He gave her his customary courteous

'Good-morning. Miss Wynne; you are

"Ah! that is right. l am sure you
have done a great deal for us already.
! don't know how to thank you and so
many other ladies for the great interest
you have taken in the dear church; and
especially you, Miss Wynne, for your
very novel proposal of the lottery. We
are getting great many applications
for tickets. | thought now-yes, l
once thought But l have not seen
your name among those of the fair ap.
plicants."
"oh! Oh! Go away-go away. sirl
! wish had never seen you-you and
your nasty old owl housed"
The worthy doctor was abashed al
the vehemence Of the young lady's
manner, shocked at the irreverent cpl |
thet that she applied TO the house of
prayer; but far more was he concerned !
when the young lady burst into a hyS-
terieal fit Of weeping and rushed back
into the house.
The church fair was over. During |
its progress Miss Wynne was in. She
vas not present TO attend her stall.
II was ten o'clock at night, and |

ring
A minute later George Woodruff was
standing before her. She had not seen
him since the morning on which he had
proposed to rattle himself Off"
Edith was pale and languid. Wood
ruff was flushed and nervous. Yet he
strove to preserve semblance of his
habitual nonchalance.

slight tremor in his voice, you won
