"Of counts," they reasoned in the
moat comfortable meaner imaginable,
"Helen Langley will do the proper
thing, and take the poor orphan into
her family until some suitable ar-
rangement can be made for her:"
But Helen Langley had very differ-
ent ideas regarding the "poor orphan,"
and she meant to carry them out if
it was in her power to do so.
She had made one call upon Cecile
after the terrible blow which had so
behaved ber; she had attended the
funeral of Kr. and Mrs. Vavassour, sat
by the solitary mourner's side, and
had been most kind and affection-
ate -indeed all that a prospective •tire
ter -in-law could be at that time.
She had afterward even invited her
to go home with her. and stay un-
til abe could recover iaa measure
from the fearful shook that stee had
renal 'el; but Cecil* preferred to
hide her letter grief in the solitude
of her own home, dismal and lonely
thonghrt it might be. and sto declined
Moe Langley's pressing invitation
for the present.
Bat all %ht. war before the terrible
new. of her poverty was made pub-
lic; that wrought at once a min -
plot* revolution tn the feelings and
sympathy which had before been
thowered upon her.
She had wondered why Met. Lang-
ley had not been to see her since;
but the knew that ,he was very

leading, and so tried to exclaim her
neglect in that way; and she was
Soo proud to complain to Howard of

her pain and loneliness in silenoe.
But she was dertined sena 10 learn

that lady was even then on her way
to see what Influence she could have
upon ttm "silly, poverty-Ark:ken
girl." to preverit her from marrying

uow," Cecile mused, and as she walk-
ed thoughtfully back and forth under
the arching trees that shaded the
gravelled walk. "Howard will tell her
that we are to be married iminedlate-
ly, and It would not be kind for her
not to come to help and advise me
about what 1 shell need."
She readied the end of the walk
and turned to retrace her new, and,

"Who Are You r'
Friday morning went out
into the beautiful grounds in the rear
of the V•vasour mansion for a little
ramble.
Thu poor child was lonely and sad.
and not a little awed in view of the
important event which was so woo
to chrome bar wbole life.
Me had bemt left almost entirely to
herself since the death of ber parents,
her many aequaintances having Amp -

changed circumstances, while the few
who remained true to their professed
friendship did not feel at liberty to
ipt rude themselves upon her leat they
thould be regarded as curious.

"Only if 1 abonld not succeed. and
you should be disuppented In me
after all, there would be au help
for yon-yos would be obliged to
pet up with me all your life."
Howard Montgomery's handsome
face gleamed with amusement nt
the confession, but It was very fond
and tender withal. ae he wound both
his arms abput tbe lithe black

relied figure. and drew her almost
outiveirively to hie breant.
" Oh, my devoted darling! to think
that you should pia.n to put yourself
upon probation like thet fur me! Did

did you euppoee that It would le

"Oh. Doi Dot to -morrow." *he in-
terrupted. Misestly, yet half mei-
lag ; '`tesemierrow will be Friday, and
although Iowa not superstitious+ gen-

like Friday to be my wedding day."
"I had not thsught of its being Fri-
