The pride and in- dependence ofthe man rose between them like a wall of rock. . • "He loves me, but he never means to tell Me so," she said to herself, in un- utterable bitterness. "He willbreak both -one hearts first." - -As tshe entered the drawing -room at Church -Stile House, Langley put down her wOrk with a, pleasant smile and word of greeting; " Have you come to be congratulated, mIy dear ?' she said, taking the girl in her arms and kissing her with more than usual'affection. •s Queenie suffered the caress passively, and then sat down by the fire, shivering slightly as though' she were cold. "You have given us all a great sue - Prise. ' " Have I?" • " I was so startled when Garth told me 1 st • night that I could hardly take in th sense of his words.

I don't mean to leave Hepshaev yet, unless you all drive me away. I think' I will go home now, Langley ;` I am not quite myself, and all this talk troubles me. II think I will go back to Emmie." And then Langley again took her in her arms, and kissed her and- let her go; she could find no words with which to comfort her, and 'indeed the girl was very sore at heart. When she entered. her own little par- lor she found Emmie lying on the rug in the •firelight, in a listless fashion that was habitual with her now. She crept •up from the gromid rather sloWly when she saw her sister; but for once the child's lassitude and evident weakness escaped her notice. •66 How late you are, Queenie!" • " Yes, dear, Very late; I have been sitting with Mize Cosie, and then with Langley." "Did you get the stuff for little Janie? How tired you look ! and hew cold your ' hands are ' as Queenie knelt down mechanically and wsrmed them over the blaze. I was Just feeling very dull, and wishing that you would ceme in. I have such dull, stupid thoughts seine - times." "You shall tell me about them pees= • ently," returned her sister, hastily. " I want to speak to you now. • Emmie, have often told you stories, some.of them very sad, arid that made you cry; but I have a real story to tell you to- night." "Oh, not a sad one, •Queenie ?" "Why not, my sweet ?" " I could not bear it to -night," an- swered the child, 'with a shiver; have been seeing pictures in the fire, and they are all the same thing,—sad, every one of them; and when I go to sleep;at night I always dream •of Alice and little Nan and think I am with them.
