for the man they love, be his death Of

before their marriage. or during the
one perfectly happy week that followed
il, she would never have forgotten
him; but the Lyster she loved, the
hero she worshiped. had been so long
dead to her that the fact Of her never
seeing him again did not wound or
grieve her.
It is terrible thing when the death
of a husband is a relief to a wife. 1t
must have been so to Sybil Ayrton
She never owned it-she never al.
lowed the thought to enter her mind.
She wept for him, shuddering as she
remembered the misery Of long years.
She covered her golden hair with a
widows cap; she shrouded her slender
figure in heavy mourning; she tried to
forget the squalid misery, the poverty
the IOathing, the coarse violence, the
oaths and curses OF the latter time, and
remember him only as the fair haired
soldier, as she had known him at
ulynn. She would not admit the be-
lief-she would not own it as such
but it was something to remem Der that
there was now no need to dread
anathemas and blows, to feel that the

THE SQUIRE'S DARLING.

BY BERTHA M. CLAY.

Unkjndncss and cruelty did their
worst; neglect and indifference, taunts
and insults were added to them and
Sybil Ayrton learned the great lesson,
taught in such eloquent words; To
live. and live bravely; to bear and be
bold"
Letters from England, the constant
kindness OF Irene and Sir Rupert ner
fathers loving messages, were the only
CLEANS Of sunlight the poor child ever
knew But the time was coming when
her troubles seemed to be ending, and
the dark cloud to show its silver lin
ing at last
Sybil Ayrton, the spirited daughter
of spirited race, was not of the Span
ish order of women-she could not
love the cowardly hand that struck
her; it was not in her to love anything
mean or sordid. When she found out
what her husband really was, when
she saw the base. ungenerous nature
stripped pare, all love died in her
heart. and died so completely that
nothing could ever bring it to life
again. She did her duty; she buried
his faults and her misery in the depths
of her own heart,-too loyal and true
for aught else Only her Maker knew
what Sybil Ayrton suffered she never
told it to human ears, least of all to
those who loved her so well.
One morning when Lystor had been
at home for a week-perhapS the most
miserable Of her wretched life he
told her he was about joining an eX-
petition up the country and should
not return, probably for some months.
e knew he men he was going with
james Slater and Frank Hunt, two
comrades with whom, of late, he had
passed most Of his time. She liked to
remember afterward that, as he was
leaving the house, she went up to him
and raised her fair, patient face to his,
praying, God bless him and bring him
safely home" She liked to remember
that he had kissed her as he had not
done for long years. with something of
the old, gay, graceful Lyster about
him, so that she set about her work
Cheerfully; not hoping-for she had
ceased to hope-but thinking that per
haps, in years to come, life might be
a little more endurable than it was
now.
He wa gone many weeks, and she
never heard of or from him; but one
morning, as she sat bustly at work,
thinking of Glynn and the old life that
lay so far behind her, James Slater,
her husbands friend, came to the
house and asked to see her
She guessed his errand when she
saw his face, and she was not wrong,
for he came to tell her that her hus-
band, Lyster Ayrton, had been slain in
fight with the natives, long miles
away
