THE STORY OF A LOST WILL

Night comes on apace and covers

with sad, straining eyes, at certain_
lights that, two miles away, can be
seen distinctly through 'the haze of

Yes, he is there, of course, and
happy regardless of everything but
the moment. It is most natural, is it
not? What is there else for hila to
think of ? She herself, how clearly
shewould like to be there, too! She
glances at her' beam and tells herself
that almost she night have gone—
and 'then she shrinks within herself,
and refuses to confess, even to her own
heart, that it would have been agony,
to her to have appeared badly dressed

Monica, moving backward, 'involun-
tarily seizes the curtain with one hand
and stares at him almost affrightedly,
Her attitude reminds him of that
happy moment when firsthe saw her.
Bel ore he has time to speak, she re-
covers herself and says, with a poor
attempt at coldness:
"What has brought you here?"
"You know," replies he, calmly; an
overpowering desire to see you—to
hear your voice again. Your face
was in every corner, smiling at me--
your
ee—your voice was clearer than the band,
and called me incessantly. I have
come!"
"Where is Julia'?" asks she, reproof
in her voice, unmistakable gladness
in her great gleaming' eyes. She has
got a heavy spray of scarlet geranium
in the bosom of her white ,gown. It
rises and falls nervously, as she stands
before hhim,trying vainly tobe stern
and angry.

"Do not talk of death," she -wisp-
ers, tremulously,
"No! Shall we not pray that we
may die the same day, and be buried
in the same grave? But, living or
dying, my own darling, every thought
of my heart will be yours.", •
The hands have slipped a little high-

sigh that is almost a sob, she twines
them round his neck and lays her
soft cheek against his,

"How was Julia looking?" asks she
presently.They are now sitting close

and down they could not have been
more contented with it.
"Very handsome," replies he, with
the most satisfactory indifference.

much flesh. My angel,
you have saved me. To think that
only for you I might have married her;
should, to a moral certainly, you know,
as I didn't know what love meant
then."
At this juncture there is no mistak-
ing he knows what love means now.
"If you should ever be sorry about
this," says Monica, nervously. .
"Nonsense, darling; you know you
are miles too good for me. I hope
you will never be sorry, that's 'all;—

positive, that you really love me?"
"I am sure of it as that we are sit-

mnly.
A further demonstration that they
now really know what love means!
"Do you know I'm awfully hungry,"
says George presently, Without the
smallest shame, or✓fecollection that
people in novels never eat anything
when filled with the tender passion.
"Are you? Do you known -so am I,
but I ddn't quite like to say it," con-
fesses she, naively. "The servants are
in bed, I am afraid; but there is cold
chicken in the pantry, and-"
"Let us go for it ovrselves," says
George.. "As we are going to set up
housekeeping on a limited scale, the
sooner we learn how to lay a table and
help ourselves the better.:
"I don't believe there is any sherry,"
says Miss Norwood, blushing gener-
ously; "but there is"—with consider-
able hesitation—"beer."
"If there is one thing an earth I
love, it is beer," says George Norwood: with one ounce of butter, two onions
"There now," murmurs she, re- minced, a little chopped parsley. Sim-
proachfully: "And just this mo- mer slowly thirty minutes, then thick

"And. so I do, and you only," de-
clares he, fervently.

"Well, bake it clown for, me now; it
