burned her cheek as eite recalled that

was indeed true that she was betrothed
to'his frieed, had never faded. from her
mind; nor had the sound -of his voice
es he ba -de her good -by ever left her--
ae he murmured that they nad met too

bered how he had kneeled at her feet,
praying for one kind word from her,
Now lie was, under the some roof with
her, this handsome, imaetuoua young
lover, for whom she was pining in sec-
ret. even tliough site was the bet robbed
of his friend. She was frightened at
hereelf, at the tumultuous way her heart
had bounded when her father told. her
of Olarenee 'Neville's presence there.
. Barbara Haven had long eince known
the truth, that ehe loved- him. with her
whole heart. She knew that she ought
not to see him, but she .said to herself:
"it cannot be wrong to take two
weeks of happiness out of my life when
the rest will be filled with torture."
She wondered in the long, Lad, after
years how she could. .st) far have
forgotten her own ideae of right
and. wrong as to yield to
the temptation ---- how she could. have
been so dead to the appeal*, or her bet-
ter self, kher nobler nature; how she
could have rushed so blindly, so madly
on to her fate!
"Will vou aee him this, eiternoon, my

"Barb -Miss Havent" he exclaimed
advancing quickly. Ivi.th both hands out-
stretched; and the look in his brown
eyes spoke the words he dared not ut-
ter to the girl who was betrothed to his
friend.
Barbara had intended to make some
light, careless remark, but the words
seented to stick to her throat.
Her faee turned from red to white,
then fluehed and paled again; her whole
being trembled with a rapture that
eves almost pain. How was she to
,greet hint as a stranger -he whom she
loved so well?
He hastened to relieve her embar-
rassment by saying!
"Come out on the verandah; it is al-
most a shame to spend one moment
indoors to -day that is not absolutely
nece,ssery."
He keew thet the presence of stran-
g,ers would help her to regain her self-
possession.
He placed a chair for ber in the
kliadow ,of one of the pillare-seating
himself opposite her.
"Yon cannot tell what a surprise it

two yeting pevple.
He thought them pleasant friends --
nothing more.
He wee eonfined to his room eo muelt
with his old eueloy, .the gout, that he
was pleased that some one Should look
after Bab. The only cloud which
crobeed the horizon of Bab'e happiness
was the long letters which eeme to iier

they reminded her, but too painfully., of
the harrier between. herself and the man

put quickly away into her trunk 'itn-

But that opportunity never came --

from hour to hour from the thne ahe

went by the idee of opening the letters
grew so irksome to her that she aban-

She put him, from 'her snemory aud

hint, .Like Vlarence Neville, she resolved
te be happy in tile present and egad. her
eyee to the future.
Time three weeks passed-tbree weeke
of unalloyed delight and blissful happi-
nee-a-then an awakening came, in the
shape of a telegram from 'Rupert Down-
ing, saying that he expected to reaeh
Long -Branch by the end of that week.
Bab looked at the date of the megoage,
which wee, Wedneeday-in two days
more, at the leeet, he would be there
-and then -ah, and then there WOUld
be no more walks by the sea.
Quite as soon as Clarence Neville saw
Bab that afternoon he realized by her
pale fae'e that .soinethine had happened.
"Is your father ill?" aeked, eolicit-
ously ,ae he looked into the blue eyee,
heavy with unshed tears.
"He is quite as well as usual," re-
sponded Ba.b.
"But you are not looking bright and
happy," he persieted: "he something trou-
bling yott?'
For answer She placed the telegram in
his hands. He scanned. it quieldy
through, and as he did ao he grew pale
to the lipee-he realized that the happy
dream was over -Barbara, Haven's be-
trothed was coining..
"NArill you walk out on the beach?" he
said, abruptly.
"1. will get my sun hat and parasol,"
she said.
When she re turned she found him pac-
.
lag up and down In front of the hotel.
They walked down the ehining sand to-
gether, in utter silenee, which neither
eeemed to care to break.
It was Clarenee Neville who spoke
firet.
"I have been unwiee to remain here. so

"Save me front him Clarence!' she
gasped, catching. his itand, as a little
eitild. in a fright might have done, and
clielging to it.
He turned his startled eyes upon her.
"Bab! Bab! do you realize what you
are 'saying?" he cried, hoareely.
She broke into a hyeterical 'soh.
"le -I do not love hhu," she moaned;
"I cannot marry him."
He caught .both of her hands in hig-
her little iee-cold hands, and held. them
tightly in his hot grasp.
"Do you mean it, Bab?" he whispered,
hardly daring to believe the evidence of
his own ears.
"Yes," elle sobbed, .piteously.
"Then, by Heaven! you 'shall not!"
he .declared. "No one shall force you to
marry Rupert Downing if you do
not love him. To marry without love is
e crime. Tell me the truth, Bab," he
cried, hoarseiy, "have you. diseovered
that you did not love him, through find-

Heaven's nalne, answer me, Bab. You
