her hot lips pressed his forehead, .'that was not to be on earth, but God grant 1t will be in heaven"
 With a great effort he raised his arms, put them about her, pressed her to him. and then all was over. She knelt long holding his hand, the moonlight and the glow of the lanterns adding to her rich beauty.
 From her heart arose the words: ..It was not to be on earth, but 1t will be in heaven. Thank God, he never knew.
 And far up the railroad, in the Locust Summit swamp, the frogs sang on. but with a minor chord in their music now as it werey a dlrge.

Ben's train stopped at Locust Sum- init, and every day Cora made it a point to meet him; sometimes for only a word, sometimes for a pro- longed conversation His southern heart yearned towards this lovely bit of northern womanhood. He brought her novels; she loved to read, and had few books.
 "You see," she said, '<uncle and aunt are not hard on me. They have but one child, and so I am not obliged to work very much; I have lots of leisure"
 And your father? ?''
 Roaming the country somewhere. Mothers death, five years ago, broke him up so that he's not like himself any more, poor fellow
 It was a night in July. Ben's train was waiting for orders. He and his sweetheart were conversing in low tones, as they walked up and down the railroad.
 So you liked The Last of the Mohicans ?:'o
 ''Yes, very much; but I should have liked the story better had Maj. Heyward married Cora and not Alice"
 ''I'hat is just what I liked about it. No wonder Maj. Heyward was disgusted with Cora when her ia ther told him of her birth
 Her birth? don't under stand"
 Why, her mother was a creole,

WHAT THE
 FROGS HEARD

 It was six o'clock on a June morning. His freight had now come to the top of the heavy Locust Sum- mt grade; and as he stood on the roof of box car Ee saw girl kneellng at an open upstairs win dow in the house adjoining the sta- tion. Her head lay on her hands; a few of her curls hung out over the window-ledge and waved in the breeze. Ben got off the car and stood looking up at her. This chance perhaps Fortune herself had put in his way. How often he had watched those black curls through the station window, when he chanced to be there, and Cora Goyne was in sight. Yet she had never seen him. He gave a shill whistle.
 Could anything be prettier than that round, dimpled, sleepy dark face which started up from the win- dow-sill, the eyes bright from sleep, the hair gracefully disordered For a second or two she was be- wildered. She looked down, and saw an engine and train standing and something else; brakeman, cap in hand, looking up into her face
 For only an instant she gazed at him; then, with little cry of nor tification, leaped away from the window and disappeared from his view. But in that instant, she had, with womans facility, noted how yellow his hair and mustache were, how big and blue his eyes, how brawny his shoulders, and how handsome his face.
 That was their introduction. They became lovers. Every day

or something: there was trace of

that" The girl trembled and grew pale to the lips. He felt her culver on his arm. ''Surcly you are not chilly tonight; why shiver?"
 She was taken unawares, but her answer shed only faint light on her thoughts. ''What a coincidence that my name is Cora tool" she blurtcd out.
 He laughed. I don't see any thing much in that; there are many Coras, and no wonder, for the name is so pretty
 ''But you would not have married Cora had you been Maj. Heyward, even if you loved her as dearly as he loved Alce?''
 'Why don't you say, as dearly as l love you, you puss. l could not have loved Cora, once I knew of her parentage. But what a peculiar question Come, let's dismiss the subject, it is near train time, and 1 have something far more important to say; a question to ask of you, something that means a great deal to me-
 A whistle from the engine. His arms slipped about her and he kissed her lips; a warm kiss full of love, kiss Cora carried for ever in her memory
 ''Be my wife, dearest: say yes" No sound from her colorless lips. He pressed her again to him. "You little goose, 1 thought 1 knew you, but now I see that no man can ever understand a woman. Who'd think you so shy? Well, the answer to- morrow'
 He bounded across the rails, spring, he climbed the side of house car; stood on the top, cap in hand, the moonlight falling on his yellow hair: kiss from the tips of his fingers, then the train rolled by, and Cora was alone.
 She looked at the green waters of the swamp, whence came the so- norous voices of the frogs.
 "Oh, if l had never met him p she cried, in so low tone that only the frogs heard her. And now to give him up. Was it your fault, mother dear, that your mother was a mulatto? Was 1t a sin, dis grace? Were not you and your mother much better than many of those cold white women whose blood is not tainted like yours, but whose hearts are foul and corrupt, as yours was not? But why should l tell Ben? He need never know. Still how can 1 deceive such man! But l will. Let him make me his wife; love him: why should l ruin my life?'
 But, oh, Igcannot. l will not de- ceive him; if he looked at me with l his honest eyes, 1 could not. Good by to my fond hopes l will tell him all tomorrow. What if he were to make me his wife, and then to find out, as he very likely would, about my mother. He would scorn and despise me; and anything were bet ter then that"
 Cora. Cora where are you?'
 Her aunt's voice reached her ears. The girl started to her feet at the sound, so suddenl y that she we'll nigh fell into the water. She hur- ried down the railroad to meet her aunt. who stood near the station. The light from the window falling on her aunt's face, Cora noticed that she was pale and excited. There was an engine, ''pusher,' standing near, wheezing and pant ing.
 Get into the engine, Cora. Here is a hat. I'll go with you.'
 Her aunt led the way and Cora wonderingly followed her into the cab. Her uncle was there, and on his saying, All right" the engineer started the engine, and the frogs sono died aWav in the distance.

 Cora, l must be abrupt. It has just come up over the wires that Jim Gibbons freight ran away down the grade and plunged off the track at the curve
 And Ben Evans is killed?' came in hollow sound from Cora's lips. No, he's hurt and wants you"
 Ben was lying on the bank on some coats which the men standing around had furnished; his eyes opening and closing, his breath fail ing, but he knew Cora.
