Perhaps he felt with a' young -.man's reverence the mystery of ithe wadi to come.- Some men have a great dread of touching sacred , things with unconsecrated hands ; but Queenie's young eyes had the fearlessness of the eagle; they looked unblenchingIy up at the right. What was the use of separ- ating things Spiritual from things ma- terial in her creed ? Love was the id- derillthat acob saw reaching from earth to-hea,ve ; evermore there were angels ascending and descending. The doc- trine'of the communion of saints had in- finite readings, " Those that have sympathy here have sympathy there' " she lied aisserted, with entire faithand simplicity.Why did not he, why did not everybody, understand? As for Garth, he felt a little moved and excited, stirred by her earnestness, yet not wholly comprehending it; and quite gut of his element. CHAPTER XXXII.

You'know what men are, my dear, -they get tired of their sisters' company; and then Dora is away. I suppose that makes him so discontented and restless. Poor Flor- ence is worse, and there is no possibility of Dora's return at present." " So your brother informed me," re- turned Queenie, demurely; Ibut I not to Cathy did she dare hint thatMids Cun- nhigham's absence was a relief.. She was somewhat afraid of questioning her own feelings too - closely at this !time. The incubus that had weighed apon her spirits was removed, at least tempor- arily. Life was passing pleasantly with her just now ; she had work enotigh-to occupy' her ; a pretty cottage where she and Emmie lived like disguised prin- cesses, and friends whom she loved and trusted to brighten her leisure hews. "Shall I ever be so happy again. in my life?" she said once to Cathy. "1 think this summer is the suuniest I have SO thorough - ed Cathy, lease of monotonous happiness would stupefy me.

Tinder the iMargin of those brief sen- tences lay unexplored meanings, whole worlds of thought and fancy that he only dimly icomprehended, and yet he felt himself stirred 'by the girl's en- thusiasin. 1 " You hand done me good," he said to Innt whet, Ws. was over and Emmie had betaken herself to Patience.

When he had left her, she knelt down by the hearth again and shielded her _face flora the flame.

She only knew that somehow Garth had been nicer, and she had done him good. " What doe's it matter if one is dis- appointed here ?" thought the young visionary in that first sweet gush of sat- isfaction, return, -at one wants?

We are only hiding our treasures now, heaping them up hi silence and darkness, like that poor Fraulein Hel- di-g. By and by, up there, those whom we love will call to us and stretch out their hands, and we shall come bearing our sheaves with us." _ Queenie was weaving all manner of pure womanish fancies as Garth went back through the rain. The young man's pulses still throbbed with excitement Inin sluggish ima,gination had been quickenedzmd stirred within him ; he felt with ae curious, indefinable sensa- tion tat hte had drifted long enough down the tide of circumstances, and that his fate ap roached a crisis.
