QUEENIES WHIM.
CHAPTER, Xi. (Continued.)-
‘ Well, she staggered under the blow,
but she bore it somehow. It would
have nearly killed some women. She
just took up herlife and did the beat
she meld with it. '1 am keeping it all
for hilt,' she said o me, once, with such
a mournful smile s " when he wean it,
it will be ready for him, but it will not
be here,'" ' I •
" Keeping what ?" asked Garth, some-
what absently.
" Why, the love he had thrown away
as worthless," she returned, with kind-
ling eyes. " Don't you think the faith
of that poor German neverness had some-
thing noble in Lt 4 She had forgottea
her own wrongsand his fickleness. In the
world to come it should be all right be-
tween them." 1
" Wasn't that rather far-fetched?"
" Not at all," returned the girl,
warmly ; " those evho have syrnpatby

a little out of hilemeat, but strangely
attracted by the eloquence of Queenie's
eyes,
As for, Quee lie', she had almost for
gotten to who s ie was speaking. She

was wrapped 1 p, absorbed in her
subject ; ad sorts of deep thoughts stir-
red within her.; .
These things his re true to her; but she
felt with a kind IA wonder that he did
not understand. 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.

Church -Stile House became more fre-
quent and pressing.
"Garth likes to see you and Emtnie
among us of. an evening,'" Cathy said to
her more than once. 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

Tinder the iMargin of those brief sen-
tences lay unexplored meanings, whole
