and they walked beneath the trees
just bursting into bud, talking gently
of the days they had spent together
as children; then they grew tired and
sat in the summer house. And now
Hugh felt that his eyes were INSULT
cient to tell his love, and he began
tremblingly to express himself in
words. He remembered the first kiss
he had ever given her as distinctly as
If it had only been yesterday. He
painted with excitement as he took her
hand; she blushed like a rose, but
resisted not; he drew her to him and
placed his arms around her, and gave
her the long, sweet kiss which had
remained on his lips forever. Oh,
Blessed Virgin, this was not the kiss
he had dreamed of! The woman was
there. smiling and blushing as of yore,
but the kiss was not the same; so
cold. SO passionless, beside the one Of
his imagination! He looked into her
face, and thenOh, the horror Of it!

1t was Easter day; the bells were
ringing peal upon. peal to announce
the heavenly tidings of resurrection.
An old man stood on the cathedral
steps between the two great doors,
and he looked upon the crowd below.
And he was quite alone. He had out
lived love and friendship, he had out
lived the joy of life, he had outlived
even the desire for knowledge.
He wandered into the church away
from the night, and fell upon his knees
before the image, standing in the
niche, of the Mother Of Sorrows, who
held her hands against her bare heart
which bled great tears of blood.
In his madness the old man whis-
pered to her, ooh, Mother, Mother,
give me my youth"
There was movement in the paint
ed lips and a gentle voice spoke from
them.
my son, has thy life been SO happy
that thou wouldst have given back to
thee thy YOUTH" '..
"Oh, Mother, Holy Mother, thou
canst give me back my life, my happi-
ness. All my days have I been true
and loyal servftOr to thee. pray thee
do this thing for me, for thy dear
Sons sake, who rose this day
My son, I will give thee back thy
youth. But thou must live thy life
as before thou livedst It; everything
shall be repeated to thee as it hap
pened aforetime. Dost thou accept ?''
"A Give me back my life again, just as
It was, with the Joy Of youth, and the
joy Of love. oh, heaven, how shall9I
endure the happiness of it?"
Then he felt hand pass over his
eyes and fell asleep.
{ He woke with start and instinc-
lively put his hand to his head; some
thing was different! His slumber was
still heavy upon him, he passed his
hand slowly down his face. The wrin-
kles had disappeared, the skin was

ed. He was delighted with the pros
pect of seeing his friend again; love
might not be what he had thought it,
but friendship could not alter, and all
his disappointments would be coun-
teracted by reunion with the trusty
hcomrade who had been dead SO long.
But then he remembered something
else; he called to mind horrible suffer
ing which had been caused him by
this same friend. He had supposed
that his wife and his friend were de-
ceiving him, and he had spent years
tortured by frightful jealousy. After,
when they were both dead, he had
learned that his suspicious were
groundless, and in the joy of his dis
covery had forgotten the previous mis-
cry. But now he remembered it ALL
Must all this happen again? This
was not the delight he had expected.
Could he not alter anything, but must
everything be gone through precisely
as it had gone through before, and
must he make two lives miserable
again by his cursed stupidity? !; He
cursed himself for the unhappiness
that he had caused; he groaned as he
thought that 1t must be all gone
through again; and it would be ten
times worse, for all the time he would
know that the pain was fruitless, and
yet must be endured; that he was act
.ag wrongly, wickedly, and yet must
act SO. Oh, what had he done in thus
begging for his youth?
And when late at night he left the
Burgomaster's house he strobe
through the silent streets thinking all
this time, one by one the events stood
out clearly in his mind, and he re-
membered now exactly what the fu-
ture had in store. Tomorrow he
would quarrel with his brother, and
there would be bitter enmity between
them; true, at last they would come
together, and the reconciliation Hugh
had always looked upon as one of the
happiest incidents of his life, but SO
much pain had to be gone through to

as he went over each successive step
OF his manhood, the joys and pleas

and the woes and miseries grew into
mighty things, terrifying to think of.
He laughted at himself; this was not

him, but curse-a CHASTITY curse
And as he pictured it all he worked
himself into a frenzy of despair, and
in agony he cried aloud.
He ran to the cathedral, and went
into the dark aisle to the chapel in
which was the image of the Virgin. He
fell on his knees at the altar and
opened his mouth to cry out, but there
came from it only the dead words of
the passwords of praise and graft

struggled with all his might, and at
