BY c. Myra Steele.

II was growing late, the room was
bitterly cold, and the fire on the
hearth had all died away, leaving only
a few dull dead ashes. The wind
howled and shrieked around the cor
ner OF the house, like old forgotten
ghosts calling, yet the woman sat
there motionless, staring into tho
darkness.
And her thoughts went back to the
happy days when she had been young
and beautiful, and her eyes grew
bright, and a shadow of smile hover
cd again around the thin lips as she
recalled the pleasant times they used
30 have In that small town.
Now scene after scene OF her girl
hood days rose before her, the merry
huskings, the straw rides and dances,
one after another came before her
vision, always bringing the face OF the
one who was her constant attendant
at all these sports. Her country low
or, they called him, and in truth he
had been, caring for her so tenderly.
She could almost see him now as
he stood before her that last morning
before she went away. pleading that
she would become his wife and give
up her idea of a famous career. But
at that moment life seemed so bright.
and the prospect of fame so absolute,
that she had merely laughed as she
turned away from him.
She could now realize how true
were the words that he had spoken
that day. Fame cannot como in a day,
and alas II could never come for her,
for broken In health, with no money
for even the necessities OF life, she
was dragging out useless and SUI
fering existence.
On, why could she not humble her
pride and go back to her father. He
would surely forgive her. she was yet
young and might even be joyous and
happy n freed from the terrible grind
which she was under TO keep soul
and body together. Long she sat
there fighting with her pride. She had
never told OF her desperate circunl-
stances al home. and managed 10 keep
her letters bright and cheerful. and
they had never dreamed OF the ter.
rible struggle which she was making.
At last the longing for home tri-
umphed, and rising. she put on her hat
and coat. hastily thrust a few ar
ticies into q bag and len the room.
