Then she shook her head. 1. 'Tain't de way fur him. Lor'! What a power widders has got, to be shore l" Weeks passed, and John Ashurst paced his room, with trouble on his face. His nephew came in. Anything wrong, uncle ?" he asked, kindly. "I believe I am a little out of sorbs," answered John Ashurst: "In fact; Fred, I was thinking about you "Of me? Don't worry about MO ; I am as happy as a lark," answered Fred, carelessly. "The fact is, Fred,' said John 41t- . urst, stopping in his nervous walk and looking attentively at his nephew,1"I am a little worried about you and—eur neighbors." "The Gurneys ?'' asked Fred, ilia amazement. ing de n ? de *I "Yes," answered John AshursagraVe- ly. "It has just come to my ears that people are talking about our going there. I have been very kind to Mrs. Gurney because I was anjust to hee at first, and wished to make atceaement. She is a charming woman—more than that„ a good woman. To me there is no woman so attractive as these sweet - voiced Quaker women,lwith,their quaint speeolaand gentle wr: ys ; so 1 realize your danger." - • Fred Ashurst's eyes twinkled.. "Falk piiik about us, do they? If I were man with your age and your means, I' !make them talk to some purpose. If :were in your place, Uude Jolia,I woul Marry the widow." •• John Ashurst bent a searching glance ort 'his nephew. "It would not hurt you in the least if I loved :tad wedded Mrs. Gurney?' he asked. _"Not in the least. I would congratu- late 3rou with all my heart," answered Fred, earnestly. "That is enough," said johu Ash- urst, with a satisfied smile. "You don't love the woman if you: are willing te see another win her." "Yoa needn't fear a rival in me," re- plied Fred, laughing. '013., Fred, that is all nonsense!" exclaimed John Ashurst, impatiently. shall never marry. Uafortunately there is a memory of the past that would always come between ma and a new love. I tell you thus much that you need not speculate or plan about my futatre." "ItIrs. Gurney might make you for- get the past," suggested Fred Ash- hurst. "Oia the contrary, she makes me re- member," replied John Ashurst, half to himself. That night, in the widow Gurney's home, the children were crowded about a new,comer, whom they calledCousin Lily. In a pause in the conversation she said, addressing trs. Gurney: "Pray tell nae who these new-found relatives are. They ta;k. of Fred and Uncle John as if they were kin." • "They are our neighbors," answered Mrs. Gurney. "I want thee to meet them, When we had lived here about a week, our neighbor called. He had made a flumy mistake, and brought a boy who was stealing his cherries, thinking he belonged here. Think of . Lilty—one of nas- boys stealing fruit." "I would have been very angry," said the visitor. "Oh, no," answered Mrs. Gurney. "I was sorry for him. Ho was so gentle- manly and so humble, really contrite, as if he had,offencted me and was sorry for it. He was a little incoherent too, and I coald not quite make out what Jae meant. A schoolboy would not have been more embarrassed; and like ourselves, Lily, he is uo chicken. Then a note came in he had seat me, and there had. been delay in giving it to me. He took it quite eagerly, aud said he would. do the errand himself, and offer - us all the cherries wo wanted. That was the beginuing of our friendship. Since then Fred Ashurst and his uncle have beea frequent visitors. This uncle has the most wonderful smile; it lights up his whole face. But he is not a reale given to smiling. I judge he has haa some great trouble. . What ails thee, Lilv ? The blood has gone from. thy 'faced' "My jouruey has been a little ex- hausting, that is all," replied the visi- tor, carelessly. "By the way," she said, with affected indifference, "is the uncle's name Ashurst ?" "Yes," answered Mrs. Gurney. "Is the family known to thee ?" • "They may be fickle and unjust," le - plied Johu Ashurst, sternly. "I would swear Miss • Russell is neither," exclaimed Fred Ashurst, pas- sionatelY. John &Bharat's lip twitpbed, and he beat his foot nervously on the floor. "Miss Lily Russell," explained Fred Ashurst, 'emphasizing the first name. John Ashurst resumed his usual manner at that.. "Be careful, Fred, my boy," he said, kindly. "I dOn't want your ships to go clown as mine did." That day John Ashurst was restless and. nervous, "almost out of sorts," he said of himself. He -could not forget his neph.ew's description of the woman next door. "Nonsense !" he would ex- claim,,half aloud, in an impatient way. "This is a woman. with another name. The other one forgot me Years ago. Suppose s e had not forgotten ?" John As urst's face was lighted with the wonde al smile of which Mrs. Gur- ney spoke then it faded out, and. the man's rest ess mood came on. There c me a child's tap at the door, and a mo eat later Lucy Gurney en- tered. "See, I ave a lot of books," she said, with great lee. "I have come over to study with you, where the boys won't bother. I • took them out -61 Cousin Lily's trunk when she *ent with"rnam- ma. This is verses," and she laid clown a ivolume of Tennyson ; "and this—" As she lifted the book thee dropped some withered flowers, lilies of the valley. and a cluster of forget-me- nots. I John Asbjurst took the book eagerly. It was a Bi le. On the fly -leaf was the name "Am., Russell." As he turned, the leaves e came‘ to more withered. flowtrs, and cn a slip of paper the prayer: "F rgive us our, trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." "1 must ajlways pick up trash," mam- ma says," r inarked the little girl, as she stooped to gather the withered flowers. ohn Ashurst touched them nd put them back in the ace was radiant with that znile. She had not for - Trash! a I reverently, book. . His d wonderful gotten. "Is yonr Cousin Amy home ?" he asked of the child. • " 'Tisn't Cousin Amy ; it's Cousin Lily," answered the child. John Ashurst looked. puzzled; then he pat on his hat, and walked straight to his neighbor's. "Is Miss Amy Russell in ?" -he asked of the servaat as he gave her his card. "Miss Russell is in; I think it is Miss Lily," answered the servant. "I would like to see her," said John Ashurst. To himself he was saying, "She must be a relative. If Ainy; is dead, I will have :the Bible and the faded flowers. But she wat not dead. The sweet- faced Quaker woman, with just a touch of worldliness &beat the tucked and ruffled dress, who entered the room, held out her hand to John Ashurst as au olcl acquaintance. Her face was very calm, but her hand was trembling. John Ashurst took it in both his, as he exclaimed, "Forgive me, -Amy; I was unjust to you,a,nd cruel to us both.. You have not forgotten me. By this token I know i b, and this prayer makes me bold to ask forgiveness. He opened the Bible to . the faded flowers and the prayer for forgiveness. Tears filled the eyes of the Quaker woman as she said, "I forgave thee loiaob ago. It was a miserable mistake," she added, sadly. "But there is no reason why I may not spend the rest of my life in making atonement," pleaded John Ashurst, eagerly. , "I have never ceased to love thee, was the simple, earnest answer. Such a commotion in the houses of the two, neighbors ! Old Dinah's equanimity was quite upset "I declar I don't know wedder' I'm standin' on my head or my 'feet.

"Was alias spectin' suthin was conain' frnm de day Mars John drug de boy dale" continued Dinah. "Miss Gur- ney's a nice -woman, but dis is heaps better. Couldn't be better. It's de genoome old lab. Talk about young lubbers ! Land! Dey can't hold a can- dle to de lab ob haff a lifetime." "We knew Ashursts years ago," re- plied the visitor. • aDepeud upou it, this man Made a change of base when be called. It is like the A.shursts to be hasty and uujust. I krrow nothing of their peuitence.." Mrs. Gurney looked at her visitor curiously. To herself she said, "I never kuew ry husband's cousin so near beiug bitter in all my life." Fred Ashurst the nextmorning at the breakfast table was in exuberant 4, spirits. "I think I am ha love, uncle," he said, gayly. "I kuew you won't ap- prove, for ink charmer is not a day ° yeunger thau•Mrs. Gurney, and one of -s° those dangerous Quaker women." 1 "Where did you meet her ?" asked ' Join]. Ashurst. Mrs. Gurney went about with tears in her eyes and a smile at her mouth. The tears were for her past romance, the smile for her cousiu's present and future romance. , Tlie children were discussing it. "Our cousin's mune will be Ashurst," said the little boy. "'cause women change their last names when they're mar- ried." "Their first names too," said the lit- tle girl. "She used to be Cousin Lily, and new we call her'Cousin Amy." "You little goose !" la, tihecl the eldest boy. "Her right nairie was al- ways Amy; but they called .ter Lily in England, bemuse she was f ir and wore lilies so much: Lily was pet mune. Don't you know the song— " Tali me pet names, dearest; ctill[me a'" "Goose !" added the . little girl. "That's what you called me." Fred Ashurst came in on tiptoe. "I lave a secret, youngsters.. They are o be naarried next month. Come aloug and see me make kindling wood f this amehristian warnina' as Dinah alls it, Uncle John is like the bias- ering month of March—he went in ike a lion, but comes out like a lamb."

Thus eueouraged, hit; nephew con- c tamed : "She is tall arid slender, as t graceful as a wand. Her faceis like a i Madonna s, but its beauty is in expres- f &jou rather than feature. She wears a lovely white dresse, with a few world- ly tucks and ruffles, and her thees. and thous are beautiful to hea.r." John Ashurst' s face was very grave. to "Be careful, Fred," was his warning rein - ply. 0 "Such women ttre not false, suiely,", ol said Fred, watching his uncle closely. v Pity the Sorrows of a Poor Old.
