"I simpose I did. He Came to me
oee day ,T things had been going on for a
long time, but there had been no actual
wooing. Harry was a 1 matter-of-fact
man, and. I was just the reverse/ I had
get my head full of novels, And had
framed my i own ideas of love -making.
I wanted. an 'ardent lover, one who
would carry me away with the force Of
his awn feelings. The quiet, business-
like manner in which Harry spoke fired
my pride kra hardened me, besides, as I
said before 'though to• laved him, I was
Ina:quite willing to be married."
"Do you remember what he said to
you?"
"Yes, insverywords. I was in the
drawing -room at Cherie i -Stile House,
li
and he came to me loo ing very quiet
and pale. 'Langley,' he said, 'this has

• these years, Langley ?iii lie said, 'sadly;
• and his face grew so I white. 'I can
hardly believe that. I will not press cir
., annoy you, dear, I will speak to Garth,' '
and then he went away.
"Oh,,if he had only s 43, yed, Queenie,
and reasoned with me a little, my better
nature must have prevailed, for I, "loved
him so, but his apparent Icoolness anger-
.- ed me, and then"Garthcame and scolded
me, which made matters woree. He was
for carrying things with a high ,hand ;
- but I only grew obstinate. " And, so one
wretched day Harry and I had bitter
words tagether, and he faced round upon
me when --.1 sat pretending to work, and
swore that if I would not marry him,
Gertinde Leslie should, and with that he
turned on his heel and left me.
"I felt I had gone to far then, and
- that he meant what he said Sooner
than lose him altogether, I would have
humiliated myself in the dust I threw
down my work, and called out Harry,
but he did not hear, and in another mo -
.Ment his horse's hoofs sounded in the
lane.
"I did all then that I could de. I
*rote a penitent little note begging :him
to forgive me and come back to me, and
all should be as he wished; and I sent a
messenger on to Karldale with it, charg-
ing him to deliver it into Harry's' own
hands ; but,. a,las 1 it was brought back
- to me unopened. Harry had never been
home at II;ahe had ridden straight off
to Blanddale, and the next morning I
heard Gertrude Leslie had promised to
be -his wife.
-"- Oh, Queenie," as the girl leaned over
her and kissed the white lips that quiv-,
erect stilt with the remembrance of ' that
long -past agony, "that moment was a
sufficient punishment for all my mad
folly, even Garth thought so, for he had
no word of reproach -for me.
"But I opened my lips to no one. None
knew what, I suffered during those
nights and clays. - An old aunt of ours
I had, fallen in in Carlisle, and I went- to
her, and stayed with her till she died
"When I came back they were Mar -
Tied, and by and. by Harry and I met.
,-• I could see he was greatly changed, and.
his manner was constrained and nervous,
but it was !not in his nature to bear
i malice, and I know he soon forgave me,
11 the more that he 'must have eeen
hat he was not the only one to suffer."
"Dear Langley," 'stroking the *Lori
face still more tender y, "I can hardly
hear to her it ; it seems all so dreadful.
I cannot understand how women I can
live through such things." 1 .
"One gets used to torture," with 4
strange smile. . Have you not read
that martyrs have been known to sleep
on the rack ? The worst part of life
always seente, to me that pain so seldom
kills. We g? on inuflated, shorn of our
best blessings. wounded,. and bleeding,
!
but we never, die."
Queenie stooped j &lin and. quOted
softly in her ear, Wherefore is light
given to hiunin misery, and life mite the
bitter in soul, -which long for death; but
it cometh not, and dig for it more than
for hidden treasures 92'
Ah, I have often repeated those'
words. I thought when I first saW
Harry after he was married, that it erould
kill me, -to think that he belonged to
another woman, that she, not I, had a
right to his every thought and careIt
seemed as though my heart could not
hold all its pain." •
-
" Ah, but he had not ceased to love
you. There muet have been some 'con-
scription in that thought."
Yes, but it was not a right console-.
tion, and then I iknew that I was the
cause of his unhappiness, that was the
hardest part of all. He was so good, he
tried so hard to do his duty by her and
make her a fond and faithful husband;
but she never loved, him."
But she married him."
Alas, she married him out of pique.
Her lover had jilted her; and, in her
despair she took the first offer that came
to her. Poor Gertrude ! she has told
me all heel troubles. I am -her friend
as well as Harry's, and all that can be
done for them I have tried to do to my
utmost."
"That.I am sure you have."
"It used to be dreadful to go there;
and iee how she treated him; but it was
my penance, and I bore it for his sake.
When the Child came things were better
between them, and latterly I hoped that
he had ceased to regret the past; but
nOW1) she wrung her hands, and the
despairing be* came back into her eyes,
"God has taken from him his only com-
fort, and I must see his misery and do
nothing."
There was a moment's silence, only
the ceaselees patter of the rain sounded
on the leaves, and then Langley raised
herself with effort.
"He him been too long alone; some
one must gla to him„' she said anxious-
ly. "Either yon, or Garth must rouse
him "-
" Hush !" interrupted Queenie, "I
think I hear something. There is surely
the sound a wheels in the distance. It
is coming nearere yes, it is stopping at
the gate.'
"Then it must be Gertrude," ex-
claimed Langley, putting 'hack the
damp hair from. her face, and trying to
rise from the bed: "Look out, clear
Queenie. Oh, }if it should be Gertrude."
"I am straining my eyes in the dark-
ness; 'but it in so hard, to distinguish
anything. Yee, there are two figures,
one very tall. I think that must be Mrs.
Chester. -Garth is opening the door, now
he will bring her up. , Lie down 'again,
Langley, you look dreadful." But Lang-
ley only !shook her head, and renewed
her efforts toise. 1
They could ',hear footsteps ascending
the narrow stairs. The gleam of a candle
preceded them. Langley tottered feebly
to the head bf the staiecase, but Mrs.
Chester did not see her. 1
" Where is the ? where is my child ?'
she said, putti g out her hands and feel-
ing before h r, with the gesture of a
sleep -walker, r one stricken suddenly
blind, and Qu enie, moved with sudden
compassion, s rang forward and guided
her to the do r
"Little Na is there," she said. "He
is sitting by her; we cannot get him to
leave her."
Yes, he Was sitting there in the same
attitude in which they had left him,
with the child s dead hand -sti,tI.. clasped
in his. At the sight ofhatowed fig-
ure, that mute despair, the Wife's heart
woke into sueldenlife, ind she walked
-feebly toward* him. I ' .
"Harry," she said, bur ting into tears,
and throwing her arms r und his neck,
" my -poor Harry, it iso r little child,:
mine as well as yours, We must comh
fort each other."

"Bless your pretty fancies, my dar-

then when I wake am lonesome, some-

"You Must , not say poa ," returned
:
Emmie, pressing heavily - against ,his

streets with Alice and Nan; there ere

, .
"Let us gaand•look for blackberries;
the missus is so fond of blackberries,"
interposed ithe captain hurriedly, for
Emmie's dilated eyes 'filled him with
alarm., The child's sensitive nature was
depressed by the sadness that surround-
ed her; a t whole world of pathos, a
strange involved meaning, lay behind
thane simple words.
." The world is, such a tiring pia& ;
dome one is always crying in it." Ales I
yes, little i Ermine. Out of His bright
heaven God looks down on the upturne.d
wet faces ,of myriads of His creatures.
What seas Of tears roll between the earth
and His mercy! If the 'concentrated
pain of hnmanity could be condensed
-into a single groan . the whole universe
' could not bear the 'terror of ,that sound,
reverberating beyond the bound of the
uttermost stark silencing the very music
of heaven., .
Such a tiring place ! True, most true,
little Emmie; A place where mistakes
are made and never rectified ;- a place
Where a joyous meeting is too often re -
pieced by a sad 'good -by, where hearts
that cleave togetherare sundered,. where
under the sunshine 'lie the . shadows,
'and the shadows lengthen the farther we
walk.
• Such a tiring place ! since we must
work and weep, , and live out the life
that seems t6 us so imperfect, since sweet
blossoms fail to bring fruit, and thorns
lurk underneath the roses. Yet are the
letters written up, graven and indelible,
on ,every I mutilated- life: "What I do
thou know, est not now, but thou shalt
know hereafter."
So, one bright summer's morning, lov-
inghands lifted little Nan and laid her
in her restiug=place by the lime -tree
walk, and the childless parents foilowed
hand in hand: ' - 1
The church -yard was crowded with
sympathizing faces. Queenie was there
at the head of her scholars, and Langley
stood near her leaning heavily on her
brother's errh. 1 When the service was
over, the. Children stepped up two and
two, and dropped their simple offerings
of rustic wreaths and flowers into the
open grave. One- child had 'fashioned' a
rude cross of poppies and corn, and flung
it led and gleaming at the mother's feet.
Gertrude took it up and kissed it, and
placed it tenderly with the rest. The
child, a chubby -faced creature scarcely •
more than an infant, looked up at her with
great blank eyes:
" Oo' littldgell will like my rowerls,',
she lisped, as Gertrude burst into tears.

Garth, who was naming down the lane,
crossed over the toad and joined her.
" So' you have your little home to
yourselves again,' he said, looking down
ly and lay it on her breast. "Harry,
my poor Harry," she whispered over hien,
with a perfect passion of -pity. Did the
warning voice within her admonish her
that she- too must soon leave him and
join her child ? - .
.Lang, -ley came and went on brief min-
istering errands, but she pever remained,
long. Now and then, when all was quiet
in • the little room above, she would go in
and kneel down betide the baby coflin.
What sort of prayers ascended from that
lonely heart that had missed its - way so
early in life? "Little Nam I would have
laid down my life, to have saved yours,"
she whispered, pressing her lips to the
wood. '
One day Captain Faure tt stood 'there
with Emmie beside him. .Ennine'sr great
blue eyes dilated and wic cued with awe
and wonder at the sig t _of the tiny
white face. The little coffin, the bed; •
the morn, were perfect y Istrewn with
flowers. Great boxes of rare hot -house
flowenesent from Carlisle, and directed
in an unknown hand, had arrived that
morning at the cottage. Gertrude was
sitting weaving a cross in the room
dawn-stairs,.while her hesband witch,ed
her.

- "Not at all : he has only married the

It was Mr; Chester's oven fault

Queenie, with re little heat.
Garth's loltiuese and burst of eloquence
did not move her in the least. His Cool
statement of fapts was rank heresy in
her eyes. What was it to her that
hundreds of men° had made matrimonial
mistakes? In her woMan's creed, that
code of purity end innocence, it 'was a
simple question of right and wrong. To
