Two days later the majorin was
standing before Katie's wardrobe:
she took on. the simple dresses, and
tears rolled down her cheeks at the
sight of them.

"Oh, nothing, nothing, only to take

''Oh, nothing, nothing, only to take

Here it is, mamma"
The majorin pressed her face to
the dress, as she used to do with the
dark, silky hair of the dead girl
There is something in the pocket
"a letter, mamma.
Give it to me-"
1t was a thick letter that Helen
put into her hand. ITO be given at
once to Doctor Schonberg," she read.
Il will keep it for him, Helen"

the duel" said the latter.
THE letter is not intended for us,

Frau Won Tollen went into her room

She was going back to her busy life,
the only cure for sick heart. No
one spoke of the future; only Lora
promised that she would come back
when Helen left her mother
She was to travel by the ten o'clock
train the next morning.
The morning came and the hour
for her to go to the train, but she still
fingered, arranging her shawlstraps.
Child. hard as it is, you must go, ="
said her mother, whose handkerchief
was wet with her tears.
But Lora paid no heed She waited
ready though she was, with her eyes
on her watch, but she seemed unable
to stir from the spot. Then some
one came up the steps, and the old
porters wife came in.

"Good-by, mamma" said Lora, and
she drew her Grape veil over her

CHAPTER XXI.

When the Doctors illness was at it's
height, Katie Won Tollen was buried.
The roses were in fullest bloom
They almost covered tie narrow cof-
fin in which. the dead girl lay. She
was laid beside her father, and
wreaths of roses were heaped upon
the low mound. On the top of all
lay the myrtle wreath that Gussie
had brought as a last offering of af-
lection
All her young friends, with pale,
sorrowful faces, had stood round the
coffin in the house of mourning; it
is so hard for the young to realize
that one of their number, who, only
so short a time before, had been
among them SO rosy and smiling, can
be snatched away so suddenly; and
there was a mystery about this
death, too! AS she lay on her death
bed two men had fought about her.
Who knew what was behind all this?
1t was shroudedi n impenetrable dark
ness-perhaps Katie had died of
broken heart.
The Frau Majorin was sitting at
home in her little parlor. She found
it hard to collect her thoughts; the
struggle that had taken place in the
adjoining room for the young life that
could not yield itself to death had
been too horrible.
The past year had brought many
hard things to bear, but this was the
hardest of ALL
Lora was sitting opposite her. She
had nursed her sister day and night
faithfully, untiringly. Now the first
dreadful hours of rest were weighing
upon her like nightmare.
She got up and put her arms ca
ressingly about the worn and broken
woman. Then the servant brought
a beleted wreath into the room. THE
Frau Pastorin's compliments, and
she would have come herself, but the
Herr Doctor is so bad today"
Lora took the wreath Of white
roses and myrtle leaves, and went
out with it. She laid it on the
empty bed in Katie's little room, and
then went up to her own mansard
room.
Here everything was as it used TO
be. 1t might have been only yester-
day that she ha stood here, blush
ing, as she looked across at the old
gymnasium. But he no longer went
in and out there, and perhaps he
never would. Downstairs two were
missing in the family circle. and her
heart futtered no longer
She could not even shed a tear for
her dead sister. and Helen's imperfect
account of the duel had seemed to
come To her from a remote distance.
She only understood one thing:
that he was suffering on Katie's &C
count. and that she enyied the dead
his love even in the grave
; Why had she not died? 1t would
have been much, much better.
In few minutes she went down
stairs again. A young officer was
sitting in the parlor with her
mother: he was in full uniform and
carried his arm in a sling. won

Refreshments were served in courses

initial entertainment for the fall sea-
son which promises to be one of un-
usual gaiety in Marion and was in
every way most delightful.
