CHAPTER III.
A WINTER WEDDING.


The spring flowers bloomed and faded
the summer roses came and died; The
harvest ripened and was gathered in; the
year passed on, till Christmas time came
round once more.
Three days before Christmas, the
Grange. at Thistleton, was decked with
festal garlands. In the glow OF the fire.
light. on a dark, wintry afternoon, Rosa
mond Noel sat waiting and listening for
the coming of n welcome guest-much as
Sheia had waited and listened, nearly a
year before and yet with far different
feelings; for Dare was her lover, as well
as her beloved; and tomorrow was their
wedding day,
1t was happy year that the girl
looked back upon, in spite of the shadow
OF mystery that still enveloped her for
mer life, and haunted her with all its
doubts and fears. Sheia's friendship had
been her first consolation; and then had
come that sweetcr joy of Dare's love.
With the first dawn of spring came hopes
and interests, all absorbing, The present
was so dear. that she almost ceased to
think OF the yelled past.
Was ever helpless waif so blessed as
she had been? the girl wondered. Utter
IL desolate, friendless, homeless, name
less, she had first entered that house.
Today she was as fondly cherished. as
tenderly loved, as if she had been born
there. 10 daughter Of the Inglesants
could have been surrounded with more
care and affection Bridal gifts were
showered upon her. High and low alike
vi,,.ed an happiness for Dare and his
Christmas Rose, in their future lives to-
gether.
Tie name they had given her was sin
