Such Wonderful eyes, Her whole soul spoke through them.e at emu siedewoves to her as surely as the mapnet'draws the needle, but her cool indifference was enough to craze them, It is not strange that Elton St. El- ton. followed the crowd when their steps led to each an altar, but he re- ,ceivpne more eneouragement than the others.. Now and then she gave him one of those rare smiles that made his pulses leap. When her' awe* were looking into hie and the spell of her presence was on him the slightest smile satisfied him. He was content for the moment,' and he would have sworn 'that she loved him; but in the morning lie, awoke quite disenchanted, grid with his day -light eyes it was easy to see how much he had to hope for. But Elton St. Elton was not' a man to be easily •baffled. Strong-willed and accustomed to ruling, he could ill brook defeat at a woman's hands, and if only for his pride's sake,he would have striven hard to conquer; but now something more was at stake—he lov- ed her. All the passion of his proud heart seemed to have gathered itself about this woman, and he had no more idea of letting her slip from his grasp than the earth has of letting the moon slip off into space. But he knew she did not love him yet. Her eyes never grew brighter at his coming; her cheeks never flushed at his earnest words; she was cool,calm,' self-possessed always. He could not tell, either, whether she was aware of his devotion or not. She was so ac- customed to receiving adoration that she took it uaturally, as one takes the air they breathe, without thinking of compensation. If he had been sure that she had never loved, he would have thought his chances as good as others, but his own soul—if that was any 'criterion— told him that such a calm as she seem- ed°to.have reached could only be at- tained through much suffering and storm. But if there was somewhere in the world a form sacred to this wo- man's heart, if there was a being on whom she looked with reverence and love, then Elton St. Elton meant to discover the fact. Suffer as he might, it was surely better to know and face the truth, than build his hopes upon the sand. He was thinking of all these things as he rode through the long avenue of oaks leading to the Morelle estate, and as he sprang from his horse at the door he said, half aloud: "I could kill the man who should dare to come between us." In truth it might be dangerous busi- ness for a rival to stand upon the field beside him, for being strong in love he might also be strong and deadly in his hate. Upon the steps—as if the fates were furthering his wishes for knowledge of the future!—he met a man in unif,rm, a stranger whohad just come out of --the door; atiii Ifs`thought`he saw :r one's hand through the window waving an adieu, as they passed each other. His face darkened involuntarily, but as June was as cordial and smiling as ev- er, he soon forgot his suspicions and anger. She was in one of her most brilliant moods, and St. Elton thought he had never seen such a light in her eyes as If he had only dared bell that his presence had inspired it! A new picture upon the wall attr ed his attention. He crossed to loo it, June also rising and going forwar "A battle piece, " St. Elton said; t looking at it closer, "the gentlem passed in the foreground, is it net?' 'Yes. Colonel Brett," June answ ed. "It must be a correct liken since you recognize it so quickly." "He is a relative of yours? 1 thin see a slight resemblance," St. El added. "His father acted as my guardian while my mother was in Europe, so we were together for several years," St. Elton look ed at her quickly. Was the secret out at last? Her face was quiet as usual. No tales from that. he could undoubtedly keep her own counsel, and meant to. "I suppose he is a hero, of course. Every man who has been in the army is supposed to be," St. Elton said. "He is a very brave man,". June an- swered, passing to another painting and changing the subject by calling St. EIton's attention to the peculiar rich- ness of the sunlight that floopded it. St. Elton but he could not have told t his eyes whether hon e had been looking at sunlight or moonlight a second afterward. He was thinking of something else. "You are not well," June said at length, noting his abstraction. "No. I was born under evil stars I suppose." "Every man can control his own des- tiny,' June answered, going to the piano. "Every mon does not." "I said that they could, not that they did." ".Be careful of your words. I might believe them, if you were in jest." He turned over the music as he spoke, and-serfected a piece for her to sing. "I was not in jest, but I am a wo- man, and a woman's words are of little account with you men." "But sienletimes theymake us wretched," He was looking at her intently. She shrank away from him a little, and be- gan to play, saying under the music, "If they do it is notMir fault." In turning the nittsic their fingers touched for an instant. June snatched her hand away and struck the piano with a hasty, violent touch, but St. Elton could not fail to see the crimson which sprang into her cheeks. It was the first time she had ever in the slightest degree actually acknowledged his power, and St. Elton would have been elated had it not been for this newcomer upon the stage. As it was, he wentaway moody and angry with June, the stranger, himself and the whole world generally. At home he had found an invitation which had come during his absence June for the following evening "Well, St. Elton, I did' not think yen would allow yourself "to be aut- geperaled litre this,?' one of the guests, said ft that gentlema�ri's ear as lie was, slowly making Ilia way luta 1 ie erQW4- 1 ed rooms. •"How?" St. Eitel], asked. "We thought you were the favored one, till up comes a+capptain, or a colon- el, or d something, with straps oil his shoulders, and you. are slipped as well as the test of of us." . St, Elton did not reply. Re was looking at June, She stood beside Colonel Brett, and though addressing r conversation he c n ersation to ethers about lien, one could see at a glance she was far from being indifferent to the pian be- side her, Her delicate reference' to his opinions, the tones of her voice in ad- dressing him, the glance of her eyes, St. Elton thought all seemed to say he had a right to his devotion, and ore, that he had also a right to hers. Both men looked at each other with wary eyes when they were presented, bid St. Elton's face betrayed more than e -had intended it should. Colonel rett turned to June and said some- thing in an undertone, as St, Elton oved away. She shook her head in eply, and the gay talking went on as efore. Half an hour later St. Elton passed hem in the conservatory, The angry ok he gave the Colonel was not un- oticed by June; "' > "I believe St. Elton is sick," she said. He acted strangely last night, and. st now he`la ked pale, I thought, I m going after him.' "Did I not tell you that he was jeal- us? Do go and 'hunt him, for 7 am raid of my life now," Colonel Brett nswered, laughing as June disappear - lo n ., ju a O of a ed. She touched St. Elton's arm as he was standing in the door leading out into the grounds. "Something is the matter with you." He turned upon her sharply, "You cannot cure me if there is." "I know(' am not a physician," she answered smiling; "but a stroll in the air would be good for you, I am sure. I am going to get someone to accom- pany you." She turned about to bring someone. "Come yourself for five minutes." "Certainly, I shall be delighted to please you." She took his arm and they stepped out under the stars. When they were away from th sound of voices St. Elton stopped abruptly. "I hate you, June," he said in a low, fierce tone. She drew her arms from his as though she was touching poison, "What did you say?" He could see her eyes flame in the moonlight. "1 said that I hated you." "That is as you please, Mr . Elton." "And I should kill the man who dar- ed look into your eyes as Colonel Brett has to -night, and receive such a re- turn." "St. Elton, what do you mean?" Before she had finished speaking he caught her face to his. "1 mean that I loved you once, if I hate you now; and that I will have you, too, in spite of that cursed colon- el." He covered her lips, with burning kisses. Quick as flash she had snatched her- aelLaway aurstoed .erect . before••him.� "I demand an apology this instant," she said angrily. He went down upon his knees before her. "I ask your pardon most, humbly. But I have loved you too long, June, not to touch your lips once. Forgive me." He turned away as if to go. e eve une ht Ins arm. St. Elton felt the quiver of her hand as she touched act- him k at "Come back, St. Elton." d.

He was de lighted with the `attention that he re ceived, and particularly with his gar ments, so much so that when one of the Sisters attempted to undress him tor bed, he cried,' under the belief that he was about to be permanently de- prived of his new apparel. This was very apparent when the Sister attempted to teach him the words of the simple prayer, 'Nov I lay me down to sleep.' ,, Kneeling beside him at the bedside, the Sister said, 'Say these words after me: "Now I lay me down to sleep." Peeping between his fingers, the little fellow lisped, 'Now I lay me down to sleep.' I pray the Lord my soul to keep,' continued the Sister. I pray the Lord my clothes to keep,' whispered the lad. 'No, not "clothes to keep"; "soul to keep,"' corrected the Sister. 'Soul to keep,' said the boy. 'Now say it from the beginning,' urged the worker in the slums. 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.' But the poor little fellow was too intent upon his treasures. 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.' But the poor little fellow was too in- tent upon his treasures. 'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my clothes to keep,' he said, making the same mistake as before. 'No, no; that is not right,' spoke the painstaking Sister. 'You should pray God to care for your soul, not your clothes. I'll take care of those,' 'And you won't pawn them?' replied the lad, to the astonishment of the Sister, 'and buy rum with them? That is what they always dicrat home when I had new clothes.' Tears filled the oyes of the Slum Sister, but she brushed them aside as she kissed the child. His few words of precocious knowledge had revealed to her , the story of his brief life, and she needed no more to tell her of the misery of his home. Although he fin- ally mastered his little prayer, it was with • the-worde;..a.I_prsy..-._the-herd . m -y.. clothes to keep,' on his lips that be fell asleep.

Considerable ahrtiety was felt concerning her, for all considered her case serious.
