Wilderness s

She had been left alone a good deal, and he seized his chances. She also seemed to grow more cordial, and by degrees her cool reserve melted away. When Sunday evening came again, Martin, recalling Greenvale's social custom, resolved on a bold stroke, and calling early, invited her to join him churchward. For moment she he's itated, knowing full we'll what would be thought of it, and then, as an extra shade of pink crept into her face, she consented. When the bell began to call, she joined him on the porch, dressed in spotless muslin, solitary rose her only ornament, and, as Aunt Comfort would say, '1ookin' sweet enough to eat" And well might Martin feel proud, for no faireT maid ever blessed a lovers eyes. For two months now, though they had met often, no mention had been made of the past. He had eissayed 1t at first, but soon saw 1t to be unwise, and yet maybe that old-tine illusion. like the sound OF bells now calling them, had never ceased to vibrate in their hearts. We are moved by subtle influences, and memory is ofttimes awakened by the veriest trife. The odor of certain flower, a strain of music. the signing of the breeze in the pines, even the croaking of a frog in springtime, will carry us back over lifetime in an in- stant.
 Only few years, comparatively, sep arated the lives of these two-very short to him, but long and weary to her. She had much to forgive, but like many another patient woman who goes through life silently forgiving an err ring husband, so maybe had she now forgiven a lovers desertion.
 And very sweet the church bells sounded to Martin, for now the fairest and dearest of all earth's womankind was walking beside him in journey that was a tacit confession.
 There were speaking glances ex- changed between matrons and maids in that Sunday evening gathering, and whispered "I told you sos" while the white-haired parson searched for his chapter. The congregation arose and sang as usual. Angie joining, while Martin coyertly watched her, feeling proud. And when both bowed with the rest to receive dismissal. and then

now. I thank you, though, with ar my heart"
 Then, as she turned toward him, her face ethereal in the moonlight, with eyes kinder teary and lips kinder smiley" Martin almost lost his head Tn sudden impulse to gather her close and whisper loving words.
 For moment he looked into those misty eyes, and then, lest heart con- quer head, he rose from his seat. "Im going to get you some sweet flag" he said, in memory of the old times when we used to come here.'
 And when he-oblivious to the soft banks that soiled his boots-had gath cred an armful of long, green sh oots, and the two stood on the bridge, he selecting those with buds, while she ate them, throwing the stalks into the stream below, somehow there and then the old sweet dream crept into her heart once more, and all the years that intervened seemed to fade away.
 What they spoke of now mattered not; the moon smiling in the pool be- low, the green flag shoots floating down the slow current, the whip-poor-wi calling in the nearby woods, were seen and heard as in trance. When they turned from this spot, so fraught with tender memories, and Martin drew her arm within his, still retaining the hand he clasped, she made no protest.
 When her home and tue shading naples were reached, they paused a moment at the gate, he still holding the hand she had yielded and softly stroking it.
 Angie he whispered at last, "can you. will you forgive me all these years of neglect but not forgetfulness, and let us begin where we left off; will you?"
 T will try" she answered gently. And as he attempted to clasp her waist, she drew away.
 NO, not yet" she whispered.
 When she entered the sitting room. Aunt Comfort was beside the window in her high backed, wooden rocker, watching the moonlit meadows.
 Why, auntie," she exclaimed, "why haven't you gone to bed?"
 T was waitin' for you, my child" re- sponded Aunt Comfort, rising, and then, looking down into Angles eyes, tender in the soft light, she stopped and kissed her. To Angie it seemed like benediction. It was, but Aunt Comfort had been thinking of that faded blouse and rusty sword hanging h her attic chamber.

his life seems. I wish I could send him something"
 Then new thought came to Martin. He had an old and faded picture of Angie, taken at 16, with hair in curls; but now he must have a later one for a purpose he dared not even hint, and how to get it without exciting her cu- riosity was a question.
 Angie he said after a pause, please come into the parlor and sing some of the old songs for me"
 With pleasure" she responded, ris- ing; .'do you feel churchy again?" Then she led the way to the parlor, where an album lay on the center table.
 And now a spirit of mischief all at once seemed to animate this clouds and-sunshine girl, and the very song he had listened to outside the evening of his arrival-the plaint of Sweet Camelia Mays" love-sick adorer-was

her first seiecrion. rnen came -rne Quilting Party,' and half dozen other old-time 1ove-songs, and Martin, just wee bit love-sick, and conscious that he had best keep 1t to himself. sat and listened.
 When she ceased, he rose to go. tGood-by, Angie" he said, extending his hand atsthe door, and as she took it their eyes met--his full of trouble and despondency, hers trifle wistful. T shall carry the memory of your face into the wilderness with me-" he add ed, glancing at the hand he still held, "and-and don't forget me-"
 When the sound of his steps had vanished in the still night, she re- turned to the parlor and sat down. Through an open window came the faint tinkle of leaves falling from the naples. down the valley the low mur- mur of the Mizzy falls, and from the sitting room, the slow, measured tick of the clock. She was accustomed to hours of solitude, her life was one of dull, flat monotony to which she was hardened. But somehow just now the parlor seemed like a tomb. Full we'll she knew that Martin had come to say more than formal good-by. By sheer force of will-power she had checked 1t, as she meant to in the future. It was against her own heart-yearnings now. but 1t was her duty; and as she thought of the wrinhled face upstairs and the faded blouse and sword, and realized how her own young life and love were all Aunt Comfort had left. her resolu- tion and sense of obligation grew stronger.
 Once less thoughtful girl, she might and no doubt would have brushed all duty aside in response to lovers claim; now more mature duty came first
 For little time she sat there listen ing to the slow--never, never, never beats of the clock, and living over old-time memories. One by one they came back, and like vanished bless ings. seeming the sweeter. and now this new insidious impulse that must be stified And as the little heartache grew apace, her eyes filled.
 "Pshaw." she exclaimed at last, ris- ing and brushing the tears away, "how silly. am a woman now. and women are born to suffer in silence"

CHAPTER XXI.
SUNDAY EVENING

Tn Greenvale, as in all rural towns, Sunday evening was ''sparEang night" when lads and lassies put on their very best, the front parlor was given up to Jane or Huldah, their swains allowed all possible chance to reach popping point, and the old folks kept shady. AS rule all the young folks gathered separately at the church, and when service was over each rustic Romeo hurried to the porch to there await his hearts desire, and when the smiling maids Hike snowbirds willing ito be mated" appeared, faced the mu- sic with beating heart to receive joy supreme or the mit@en. Only engaged couples walked to the sanctuary to- gether, and to do so was tacit ad- mission of betrothal
 It was this solectsm on Martins part on his first Sunday evening that caused

 By tho time the excitement caused by Davids night scare and almost fatal illness had subsided, Martin had made some slight advance in Angie's favor.
