TWO ieLARS LOSTr I
Summer and youth, love and roses,
blue sky and careless mirth. These are
,IT adjuncts of the sweet Spring time of
the heart when it has been first awaken-
ed.
, Maria Leigh was young, and not so
very Iong ago was it that her heart had
awakened to its Spring time. But she
went whew now more like a dead crea-
ture than a living woman. Wan smiles
poorly veiIel. her inner treableeand her
hands were often pressed upen her
breast, as if the pain there was too
sharp for endurance.
Three weeks ago site had been so dif-
ferent. Only three weeks The world

.. splendor in its moonlight evenings, such
a. glow of promise ia the sunny days
that grew and gainectin beauty. That
was all gone now. The year had not
gained its prime,for rnicisunamer was
not reaehdd ; but the sadness of change,
of cliee,ppo:attnant, of .waste, of .failure,
seemed to overshadow all things.
You would have smiled, perliaps, to
have seen him who was the source of all

more than ever det rmined to assert
her power. For this decided advances
were needful, but she made them.
It graduaNy grew e lent to even hie

notice from her -for she bad become
the fashion, and all pande1ford ran af-
ter her; how could he help running,
too, the frail, human 'an? There was
nothing like flirtatioa between them,no
coquettish glances o lingering tones.
They talked of every ay matters, some-
times harmoniously, sometimes with
amicable dissent. 01 ce in a while, not
often or obtrusively, he spoke of for-
eign lands, thbir seen ry, customs, man-
ners, and he could n t but notice the
charm of her descriptions, for it had
not been his privilege t&stir beyond his
own country. Bernet ing unique, ideal,
tinged her thoughts nd their expres-
sion. He said as mu '.h to Maria Leigh
who made but slight 4epiy. In point of
fact, a vague unea.si ess was already
cropping up in this poor girPs heart.
And so the time went on.
It went on so smoolhly and gradually
that Edgar Meru* himself could
hardly say when the :oft, ever true ha-
zel eyes ef his old lo, e vanished from
his drea,ms, and the ark orbs, full of
fire or languor, usu' ped their place.
As little could he te 1 how the every
day topics dropped fr re their discourse,
which grew full of se4iment and mean-
ing. Nor now the gl, nces from those
black eyes, which useI to meet his own
with friendly opaline s, were downcast
now, or stole at him furtively through
their long lashes. 11 only knew that
the days and nights were beautiful, un-'
quiet, changed. with a trange glory and
restlessness such as h had never con-
ceived. His love for ,Maria had been
quiet and tender, tiraing the emotions
pleasantly. It blended with home life
and daily duties. B t this new pas-
sion was a thing ap rt; it came be-
tween him and all oti er ties, filled him
by turns with bliss r torment. The
man was bewitched.
As for Miss Mortimer, she was float-
ing with the tide. Determined to in-
terest, she had herself 'grown interested.
She studied him, that she might charm
more wisely, and was herself charmed
by the strength, the unselfishness of
his nature. When t draw -him out

"This is a man He is earnest, noble,

stimulated.. And th next thing she
asked herself was -w at was the end of
it?
There ensued a men al struggle. She
thought of the little c bta,ge home, the
old fashioned. mothet, tb.e humdrum
country life. Of cour , she should not
