On the south bank of the stream is a
narrow path that branches OF from the

realized that the accepted time had come.
So Ann, with her father and her

they had reason to be glad, II wss with

reason why, but never word she spoke,

These few solemn words alone speak
mutely from the past to tell the fearful
tale Of the lovely British maiden that In
| the bloom Of her youth was compelled
to lay down her life in the lonely depths
of the virgin wilderness. And who was
this sorrowful maiden? And what il hel
mournful tale? 1t is mystery Of mys-
teries-a secret that time holds and will
not tell.
The threads of the story of this pioneer
lass are few and yearly fewer. but from
those that carefully have been handed
down from generation to generation
among the old English families still re-
siding in the little valley by the old mill
can be woven a narrative sufficiently
complete to move the heart of the sensi-
tive by its real and touching pathos.
First Pioneers Arrive.
1t was in the year 1857. before the great
Revolutionary War, that a hopeful party
of ambitious Englismen. with their wives
and little ones. set sail from London town
aboard quaint old wooden vessel for the
shores Of primitive America. For many
weeks and many months. they sailed the
high seas, but eventually they sighted the
capes that guard the mouth of the Chesa-
peake, and before long were. sailing up
the placid Potomac. Up, up they sailed,
passing through waters that never be-
fore had been pierced by the bark of
civilized men. The good little ship en-
tered the West branch Of the river. then
a considerable waterway. and felt her
way slowly up to within sight of the
spot where now rest the remains Of
lovely Ann Barber.
It was the summer of the year 176S
that the party reached the pleasant
valley and decided to make for them
selves here in the wilderness q home that
should take the place of the hreside far
away. And among this devout and earn
est party was a good-hearted and affable
soul, bearing the name Of Warheld. He
It was that might well be called the
leader Of the party. and he, 90 runs the
story. was an uncle Of Ann.
Before long the ship was unloaded, and
the little party OF pioneers-for their
numbers were very few-stood on the
bank, and with lonely hearts spoke their
farewells to the gallant crew. The GOOD
ship had brought over a rather large
supply Of British bricks. and old Uncle
Warfeld was before long busy erecting
q comfortable house on the hill just north
of the stream. It took many and many
q month to lay the bricks and hew the
wood, and perhaps It was year or two
before the last stroke was done That

was now twenty-five. and her beauty was

come over ner life q change 1t was sell
dom now that she smiled. and, whereas
few years ago in the streets Of Lon
don her cheeks were fresh and rosy, they
now and slowly and almost imperceptibly
lost their color. Her face was pale. And
no more did she skip about her daily
household chores. Her steps were solemn
and slow. Three years before her pretty
melodious voice could be heard almost
any hour of the day singing q song of
love or humming q simple melody. But
now she never sang-her song had turned
into a sigh.
Few had noticed these mournfui fore
bodings, for the change had come slowly
and unnoticeably. almost. It was the
year ISIS, and the autumn had come. with
''its yellow leaves and owlets cry, and

seized with fever. Her face now was
ghastly. Her beauty had departed Her
sigh had turned into a despairing groan.
Her fairy form was wasted. until now
there was left only the mere shadow of
the beauty and symmetry that once were.
The doctor-the only one for many miles
around-was called in. He looked yat the
pale maiden and his mind was troubled.
He felt her pulse. and he shook his head.
