The birds were singing blithely in the
valley and on the mountain, and there
was joyous echo in the girls heart,
as she tripped along the rough path
way. Barbara Graves was going away,
and she was glad. All nature was
awake early as If to bid her a, fond
farewell. The old Danes children
knew her step and loved her voice.
Her feet barely gave the caressing
grasses time to kiss them, so quick and
graceful were their spring; her pretty,
brown hands we're filled with flowers,
for they seemed to leap into them, af-
fectionately, as she passed. A gor-
Beous butterfly majestically hoated be-
fore her, and brown lizard winked
ood-humoredly as he glided along.
The white kitten, its leg tied loosely
TO the gate-post, pleadingly mewed,
and Barbara's heart smote her, as its
cries grew fainter. She could not take
1t with her. Alas! now that she was
actually going, the kitten represented
30 many things Yet after all the part
ings Barbara's heart was glad. She
thought it was because she was going
away but it was the JOY of the hour
and the place. & s4 y q
She was really going beyond the
mountains at last! Hitherto the vii
lage academy had been her ambition.
Now, 1t was the clty-the city, far
away and beautiful
Barbara walked rapidly, and was
nearing the brow Of the mountain,
when a gun-shot hushed the melodies
around her. In graceful circles an
eagle wheeled slowly up the steep as
cent, his mortal wound not lessening
the majesty of his bearing; and the
man below only knew he was wound
ed by the birds slow progression.
Reaching the summit, the goal Of his
last struggle, the king of birds alighted
on a wall OF natural granite Yearly,
his great pinions dropped, and with an
effort he turned about and gazed into
the valley, below. A place to die worth
having struggled for and risen to! Far
down the wheat fields cleaned in the
light OF a perfect day; the cloudless
shadows fell DER meadow and wood
land, and family borne on wandering
bits of wind, the tinkle of distant pas
ture-bells arose like muffied music.
The eagles piercing eyes saw far
across the verdant fields the purple
haze which wreathed the base Of the

Distrust of Philip Drake had come
upon Barbara Graves suddenly. She
had not met him many times, but his
promises of happy life had been al
Turing. The thought of going away and
seeing the world-outside of books
had been charming. His reasons for
an elopement were SO plausible as to
overcome all her scruples. Her knowl-
edge of the real world was limited.
and she had considered the end rather
than the means; for one of Barbara s
ambitions now was to travel.
Now, at the last moment she Judged
her companion accurately and realized

1t was true that the lacerated kitten
was struggling to release itself from
the frightened claws. Barbara gently
performed the service. Then she gazed
steadily into the eyes of the man from
the city. "

gone from her voice. He is not much
