CHAPTER XX,
Dorothy had settled to break her jeArileY
at Carlisle; and stay a few days with a
friend She had there; this halt would be
useful in several ways ; it would give her
brother David time to expect her, it would
Lesson her own fatigue, and it would give
her the opportunity of seeing her cherished
Carlisle friend, whom she had once fondly
hoped Miehael would marry. Mies Letitia
Varehain had money', and she was good and
affectionate. Michael had, acknowledged
all this, but he had been perverse enough
to add that Dorothy's paragon was two
years older than he was, and he also saw
that she was very plain and dull. While
Dorothy superintended the packing ot her
boxes, she was scornfully thinking over
this perversity of Michael's. -
"It. is strange," she said ; "he is
fastidious enough in some things, and yet
• in a matter that surely is of the utmost
importance to his future happiness he
seems determined to take everything on
trust, I begin to think that love not only
blinds a man, but also takes away his wits."
She felt nearly sure that Michael's offer
had been accepted by Miss Bryant; he had
looked so happy when he came in to wish
her good -morning, for she often breakfasted
in her room. He had been troubled when
she said she was so soon leaving him, but
he had not pressed her to stay; he felt
that it would be a trial to her to be put in
the second place, and it was possible that
at first she and Ruth might not suit one
another.
"You will come back to us later," he
said, smiling as he left her room ; but in
truth he was too much excited to dwell on
the parting, for he had reueived Ruth's
answer to his proposal, and he was
going to Appledore this afternoon as soon
as he could get away from business.
And though Dorothy yearned to spend
every hour of these last days with her
brother, her good sense warned her that he

"Very well," she said in a subdued voice

siveness was very sweet; but while Ruth
was telling Faith and the boy to hurry
home, and while she etood aside to let them

was quite another person. He fele piqued

beearne more and more earnest, "I know,
and I deeply feel, that I am unworthy of
you; but if you will let me, dear girl, I
think I can make you happy."
He paused, but she walked on beside him
in silence, her eyes fixed on the ground;
she was evidently listening to him, and he
felt encouraged to go on with most unusual
eloquence.
I have loved you for so long dearest
Ruth." His voice had sunk to a low, ten-
der tone that puzzled. his companion; she
had not guessed at this depth of feeling in
a business man like Michael Clifford, and
it troubled her; it seemed a mere mockery
of the love she knew BO Well, but at the
same time it warned her that her life with
this husband would be more diffioult than
she had counted on, "It sometimes seems
as if I could not remember a time when I
did not love you, Ruth."
She felt obliged to make some answer,
and she murmured that she was grateful to
him for his devotion; she raised her eyes
as she said this; met so much ardor expres-
sed in his that she instantly looked away
lest she should betray the shrinking she felt
from him.
His mood had changed; he felt rashly
determined to find out her feelings towards
him.
"I should have preferred to wait," he
said, "till I could have a snore deckled

I consulted your father he urged me not to

a chance he ought to have told her that
he was not willing to take her for his

chose to name for the joy of calling

feel more tenderly toward him, but that he
could not mare), a woman who was only
willing to take him from a feeling of grati-
tude.
While he stood debating with himself
whether he should follow her and tell her
he retracted his offer, Ruth passed out of
sight; and by some strange magic, now
that he could no longer see her in actual
presence, the remembrance of her beauty,
of all that made her to him so irresistible,
so bewitching, seized him with renewed
strength. He began to chide himself for
faint-heartedness. She must think him a
timid fool ; he had not even held her hand
in his, he had not attempted the slightest
approach to a caress. No true woman
would allow herself to be won in such a
tepid way as that. He resolved that the
next meeting should happen in -doors, and
he would then try whether a tenderer,
warmer mode of wooing would not soften
her and break down the terrible barrier
which now seemed to keep them so coldly
apart.
CHAPTER XXI..
Michael's resolution was not carried into
action. He saw his sister off next morning,
and in the afternoon he received a note
from Appledore written by Ruth from her
father's dictation. The marriage was
fixed for that day three weeks. Philip
Byrant urged that it might not be delayed
beyond that period ; he wrote that he was
willing to leave the farm on Michael's
wedding. day, if this was thought advisable.
Inside the enyeiope, on a crumpled bit of
paper and in a crabbed writing, were these
words "Leave Ruth alone a couple of days;
she's shy. P. B."
Michael twisted the bit of paper angrily
between his fingers and. then tore it Into
fragments. He felt' angry and impatient
If Ruth were shy, that was only a natural
feeling, far more likely to be overcome in
his presence than in his absence. He was
half tempted to disregard the foolish sug-
gestion and to ride over at once to Apple-
dore ; for the next day he would have to
spend at Newbridge, where he would
probably sleep. He reflected, however,
that the note might have been suggested
and he fele that it would be unkind to
y Ruth, although she did not write it;
thwart her. It seemed incredible the t in
three weeks she should be his own, his
wife ; thenceforth nothing need ever-
more part them. His eyes brightened, his
chest swelled and broadened ; the man's.
whole figure seemed to dilate with an ineff-
able sense of joy and triumph, as he mur-
mured the refrain of a German song which
he had sometimes sung to please Dorothy.
"She is mine, she is mine; she has told
me she is mine."
The last phrase was true, but not in the
sense he desired.
"Well" -he had stood thinking for a
while -"I believe I expect too 'much,
A French girl is not expected to love her
future husband till after the ceremony of
marriage. It must surely be my own fault
if I -cannot teach my darling to love me in
the future." .
Michael did not note that the naming of
his wedding -day, with the secure feeling it
had given him, had completely blotted out
his desire to wait for his happiness till
Ruth had learned to love him.
He was an untiring man of business, but
he always found time before he left his room
to read each morning a few verses from an
"Imitatio" which his mother had given him
when he left school. This morning his
reading had ended with the verse, "For
man proposes, but God disposes ; for man's
way is not in himself." Ho had a slightly
uneasy feeling as he put the book down, but
he had to hurry over his breakfast to get
the early train for Newbridge ; he had also
to see the paper -hanger anti plasterer.
Then he gave orders to other work -people
about various alterations he wished com-
pleted in the house before Ruth became its
mistvvrehsse.n
these order's were given be
started for Newbridge. He thought
that if all went well, and he found the
people he had to see there disengaged,he
might get back to Purley that night by the
last train, or At any rate he should get one
which left Newbridge at five in the morn-
ing; but of this there was no certainty.
He felt full of energy and determination,
as he saw how much had to be done before
his marriage. He decided that if Ruth
still refused. to leave her father they would
take Mr. Bryant away with them, for he
longed to get a few days'' holiday with his
wife before he 'settled dowii. to regular
work -Relay existence as a married man.
They would go, he thought, if teeth ap-
proved, to a little seaside ,place on the
Welsh oast -not too long a journey for the
invalid, and. where the scenery' would de-
light Ruth arid the flue air would strengthen
her father.
He was planning all this as he sat
in the raillea'y carriage, and uncoil*
sciously repeated to himself the refrain of
the song. .All at once the vision that had

tletie Stibitated to llitn so conclusively and
so firmly that his opinion on, or his solution
of, a difficulty at once carried weight With
in His repatation already extended far
beyond his own country. To.day, before
he had half finished his business in
Newbridge, he Was met by a request
that he Would go on next morning to
Chester, his presence there being, he was
told by one of his clients, absolutely nec-
essary in regard to the valuation of an
estate about to be pureheeed by the brother
of the said client.
He did, not, therefore, return to Purley
till late in the afternoon of the day after
he had left lt-too late, he knew, to go on
to Appledore.
At breakfast next day a letter reached
him from Miss Letitia Vareham ; it begged
him to come at once to his sister. Dorothy
had seemed ill on her first arrival, the
writer said, but next morning the was in
such an excited and fevered state that Miss
'Parasol called. in a doctor; he pronounced
the patient to be very seriously ill, and
suggested that a nurse should be sent for.
Michael rubbed his forehead with the palm
ot his strong brown hand. He loved Dor-
othy very dearly, but he was only human.
To -morrow was Sunday and he had counted
on spending it at Appledore.
Obstacles seemed to be thickening on
the path of a better understanding, with
his darling Ruth. He smiled at himself.
Was not all this contradiction and thwart-
ing of purpose an omen of future happiness?
The course of true love was proverbially
hindered. Only the arranged and 'wealthy
marriages in whioh love was not a necessary
condition went on evenly, without let or
hindrance, till they were accomplished; it
Was the "afterwards" with them that was
full of thorny disappointments.
But by the time Clifford was half way on
his journey to Carlisle he was thinking more
of Dorothy than of Ruth, Dorothy had
been so good to him I -She bad never said
so to Michael, but his brother David
had told him years ago that their sis-
ter might have been married if she had
not devoted herself to make a home for her
youngest brother when her father died.
He rejoiced thee he had not consented to
Dorothy's idea of leaving him. He resolved
that when he had gained Ruth's' love he
would persuade his sister to spend a large
part of every year with them, even if she
would not consent to look on the old house
in Broad Street as her home.
It was a terrible shock when he reached
his destination to find that Dorothy was So
ill that she did not recognize him; it was
not possible that he could leave her till
there was a favorable change. He wrote
to Mr. Bryant and to Ruth to explain the
reason of his continued absence from Apple -
dere. He also wrote to a friend of his in
Purley to ask him to keep watch on the
work -people he was employing about his
house, so that all might be ready. He had
engaged the friend to be his best man at the
wedding, and he still hoped that Dorothy
would recover so that it might take place
at the appointed time.

One day the dog, as usual, had taken up
its place at the bedroom door, but was
sent downstairs. In a little while he was
heard again crossing the oilcloth upstairs.
Before removieg this time he -was given a

In a short time the dog was seen approach-

When Ma Was Near.
I didn'thave one bit o' fear
'Bout ntithin"tall, when ma was near;
The clouds could bank up in the sky,
Or 'fore the wind in white t-treaks fly
But somehow 'nuttier I didn't keer
A snap for them -when ma was near.
Goblins that sneak at night to skeer
Us little folks -when ma was near
Joss' fairly flew, and wouldn't stay
'Round there one bit, but runned away;
An' didn't seem to be one bit queer -
They couldn't help it, when ma was near.
It wasn't bad to be sink. where
You felt the joy that ma was near;
The throbs opain couldn't stay much
Under the cooling of her touch,
But seemed to stand in mortal fear
Of ever'thirtg, when ma was near.

A Water Switchback.
If a drop of water is let fall on a piece of
paper it spreads in a large circle. If, how.
ever, the paper has been oiled, or covered
with lamp -black or some similar subetance,
the drop of water will roll upon it as a ball
slightly flattened. This fact may be made
use of for the performance of a pretty trick.
Take a band of rather strong paper about
a foot wide and as long as possible -several
sheets pasted together end to end will do
admirably -pass it over a smoking lamp,
or, better still, cover one side of it with
