would never come to an end, and when
the last ~''good-by" had been said. and
the last carriage rolled way, she felt
hardly able to keep up any longer.
Later the two-Pollie Norton, as her
intimates called the widow, and Angela
Carlisle-stood facing each other in the
pretty little room, half library. half

private sitting room in the riverside
cottage. o they were left alone a
strange sort Of stiffness seemed to fall
between them, quite different from the
easy relationship Of hostess and girl

Captain Lyle proposed to me to-

straight before her into the glass above
the mantelpiece.

Douglas will come in for q title at his
unclc's death n a rent roll of about

Angela nodded. but vouchsafed no
further information. The elder woman
looked at her somewhat curiously-a
tall. straight figure with curling chest
nut hair, clear, pale skin, and large,
mountaineering, velvety-brown eyes.
Then. somewhat irritated at her silence
she spoke again.
You're playing rather a dangerous
game" she said. Douglas is as proud
as ~ L.ucifer and his mother Is a good
deal worse. Once let him discover that
he's been deceived. and all the marriage
ceremonies in the world won't keep him

Oldest School in America.

oldest schoolhousc in America which Is in
actual use for the purpose for which It
was built. 1t Is OF solid stone blocks and
has been In constant use for la years. A.
quaint old place 1t is. with its substantial
stone walls inclosing a little single school
room. no bigger than n dressing room in
one of our modern city school buildings.
The old fashioned forms, which are prob
ably as old as the building itself. are still
in use. Built originally of rough boards,
IN the crudest possible way consistent with
strength, they have stood the ravagcs OF
time. worn smooth by five generations Of
schoolboys and girls who have left their
record by initials and notices deeply
carved in the wood in the good old fash
Toned way.
The school Is situated at some cross
roads, and the children rave to come from
distances that would seem impossible to
city folk. The little building is a pathetic
reminder of the days of the early settlers.

collapsed. and muttering something about
most marked resemblance, subsidized for
the remainder of the visit.
But the incident prevented any further
friendly Intercourse; and Angela rose at
last to bring her unpleasant quarter of an
hour to an end.
Goodbye, my dear" said her hostess.
II shall hope to find in you Il daughter,
and you must look upon me in the place
Of your own mother; poor child. it is very
sad for you to nave lost her so young.
The old lady's voice was kindly. and she
looked at Angela with genuine affection in
her keen, gray eyes, but the girl did not
respond as was her wont to the show OF
sympathy. Indeed, she was almost repel-
lent in her manner, and eNectually
checked any further advances on the part
of the elder woman.
She was singularly quiet, almost absent,
all the way home, and when at last they
reached the little villa Douglas ventured
on a slight reproach.

left word when she might be expected.
Douglas was troubled at the Intelligence
and not Il little mystiticd. That Angela
should break an appointment he had made
was an unheard Of thing. and he had an
ranged thai morning 20 call for her a
little after tea.
Twice in the course OF the day he re-
turned, each time to receive the same am

And all the time Angela was upstairs in
her room. listening with aching heart to
her lovers voice.
II can't see him. ! daren't see him"
she cried. Il am afraid-afraid"--- She
walked imnatiently to and fro. her ewes
teverishly bright. her small hands
clenched convusivcly. At last toward the
evening she grew calmcr, and, sitting
down, wrote a note to Douglas. asking
him to come round then and there and
| wait for her in the garden.
Il have much. so much. to tell you"
she wrote. Come for this last time. come
to me-"
Considering that che had denied herself
three times that day TO Mr.. Lyle. this
proceeding seemed a strange one; indeed.

dispa tched with the note thought the

path and there. overlooking the river. in
the very spot where Angela had promised
to become his wife. he found her. with
eyes dull from weeping, her proud head
dropping, her face pale and %hagsard. She
looked strangely unlike the fair, proud
Angela.

hand upon her shoulder, what is troubl-

II must tell you. Douglas. / could not

SO flard-so hard-to tell"
And then. with many n pause, in a voice
broken with sobs. she told him all. How.
as a young orphan, and a considerable
heiress, she had been left to the care of
an old friend Of her father's Of the name
Of Smith, a man OF considerable scientific
attainments. but in the ordinary affairs Of
life as simple as a child. His wife had

Her guardian. dreading the responsible
ties attaching to the care of a young girl,
married his housekeeper-a kind-hearted,
loving woman. who in spite of her want Of
education took the place of a mother to
poor Angela.

1t was Angelia'S special reQueSt that

Angelia's trosseau, displaying. In fact. a

than the girl herself.
