I like being an old .trail, Primrose. Ino you think any destiny in the world is so free from worry vs an old maid's?" M * * * * * Next evening a little note reached merry, informing her of her sister's ..arrival at the Pines, but no answer 'vas returned, and after waiting two Slays in vain for a latter or a visit, El - :la., surprised but not anxious, walk d° •up to Itarraek's. Derry was stancl- •1ng at the piano with her back to •khe door when Ella entered the rooms, and, the younger sister pawed in silty:ce, as if delightfully ant:ici- gutting Derry's start of loving as- tonishment on turning to discover her. Ilut Derry did not turn, and so Ella bud to mane her presence felt by going up and kissing her. "I thought you would be glad to sea ma." she began, plaintively. ".I thought so, I hoped so," falter- ed Larry; "but I am afraid of my- self—of what I might say." e'SS<ty nothing, dear," advised Ella, •in her gentle way; "especially if it would be on that old sad topic." And Derry obeyed her and said seething, though anguished thought were surging to her lilts, while Ella told her tale, with the old pathetic ,cadence in her chill, sweet, voice, She :epol:c• of the great loneliness of iter life since she had lost Miles: of thow, while in London, his brother Oliver had tried to take his place .and to cheer her, and was so like her •own lover, that she had gradually grown to feel almost that it was he. howOfOliver was fond on d of her, and at last had won her promise to be his wife. Of how her aunt Crystal rejoiced, as she had always wished ter to reign at the tower, and how :she was quite sure that Derry would rejoice too. When Elias ceased speak- ing there was an odd silence in the 'little roost. More than once Derry ,tried to break it, but the words would not come, and when Ella, not •unnaturally resenting this curious he- havior, rose to go, the elder sister rose too, and putting her hands be- hind her to lean against the arms of the couch front which she had risen, looked into her sister's face, with a look Ella did not even try to under - :stand — so full was the gaze of love, of pity and of horror. "Elia, is it a dream that you would marry Miles' brother? 011, 'how you will fill my heart with thankfulness if you tell me this is a dream!" "Why should it be a dream? You have no right to say that sort of thing, Derry, about your — thank- fulness." A sudden fire blazed in Derry's eyes, as she forcibly put away one thought :and seized another. Icer whole atti- tude as well as .expression seemed •changed, though she had not moved. "You can not know Oliver Basset, Eila. He is—he admires every girl -- may girls, I Mean, and he can not 'really love — Oh, Ella, you will change. You will not do this?" "Oliver cares for me. It is no• thing against him if he has cared for •other girls before. He will not .again." "Ho cares for your fortune," cors rected Derry, every word an effort tri '.her. "Only that. He knows you ore Mrs. Martin's heiress. I'Ie known you will be rich. IIe courts your fortune." "This is not like you, Derry,j' obi :served Ella, in genuine astonishment. "How can you evenpretend to knoww these things?" "I know Oliver Basset." "I recollect now that you told ms .so," rejoined the younger sister, ra- ther pointedl•, "though I fancied you -must have been mistaken when X found that he himself never Mention. •.ed having Met you." "Does not that prove what I say? Would not it have been more honor - :able to have told?" inquired Derry. Her stt•ange cold Manner would haws 'revealed to some that she was fora ing these reasons, but it did not to her sister. "lie did ane the honor, El- la, to pt•etend he cared for my favor .above that of any other woman in the world."

Ilut on which plea" (with a smile) "am I to dismiss Oliver? For nils dishonor in not telling me he had flirted with my sister among others' For his general heartlessness in hav- ing flirted with a hundred others? 0,r for his mercenary motives in finally, choosing me, not to flirt with, but to woo in earnest?" "On any, on all," panted Derry, "so that you dismiss him. Oh, Ella, let me implore you to do this!" "You are cruel," said Ella, tears of real alarnt gathering in her eyes. "What right have you to say to me that Oliver wants only my fortune?" "May- I prove him? May I?" quer- ied Derry, eagerly. "You may try," with a. laugh. "If I can prove it—if I can show you that he admires e 3 Sher woi?e a more, will you be. convinced?" cried Derry, feverishly, "Will you reject hint then?" "I know the feeling girls have when a rich one is engaged," observ- ed. Ella, pat'ently. "They never think it possible that she is loved for her- self. Now I must go." Once more Derry, in piteous ear- nestness, and now with tender loving words, entreated her to break off her engagement with Oliver Basset, but even while she pleaded, she knew Ella would not consent. She even knew it was not natural to expect it. "There is only one way," she cried t o herself, wearily, when site was left. alone. "There is only one thing I can do." Ilut apparently she shrunk most of all from this one thing she could do, for again she had sought Ella, and pleaded to her, before that miserable night when she had to give up all hope, and to forst that determination from which she had shrunk with such abhorrence. She watched the wake- ful night dawn into a fair spring morning, and rose very pale and very sad, but with this new resolve strong and steadfast in her heart. She had promised to go soon and sec Prim- rose Basset. and she would go that very morning. She made her way slowly along the green slope of the downs that any- one seeing her would have thought that she was idling away the fresh morning hours, rather than carrying out a determination so hardly fought over. "It will seem more friendly to go early," she said to herself, pausing in the fir grove and addressing Stev- en Basset's dachshund, who generally followed her in an indifferent manner, while he constantly seemed to be watching and waiting for his mas- ter. "You must not come, Fitz, be- cause you always argue with Jess, and—" but she did not finish that reason even in her thoughts; her new resolution would break down utterly if she permitted herself to remember anything Steven had told her. She must no longer let her thoughts touch him. The heavy arched door of the Tow- er stood wide open when she reached it, and she heard voices in the hall before she had seen that her sister and Oliter Basset were there. When she enterea with her light free step, and the sunshine lingering in her lovely hair, they little guessed how painfully her heart was throbbing. or that the delicate blush was born of loathing for herself, "Mr. Oliver Basset, Derry. My el- der sister, Oliver." Ella went as formally through the introduction as if she had uever been told that these two had stet before. Oliver bowed, his features a little stiff, but a suspicious duskiness mounting slowly to his hair, but Der- ry held out her hand, the pretty cap- able hand that he had watched a.t its busy tasks. "We are not strangers," she ex- plained. "Mr. Basset has spent' ninny an hour with dad in the studio at home, and has often bestowed on me valuable criticism — and still more valuable baskets of strawberries. We once even managed the cream, didn't we, Mr. Basset?" "You sent me for it." Ella glanced from one to the other in almost pathetic surprise. Oliver had never spoken to her of these visits, yet he was looking delight- ed to hear then spoken of now. Derry had shown a prompt disdain when Oliver's name bad been men- tioned to her, yet she was recalling his presence in her father's studio as if it had brought happiness to her. And Ella was to be further surpris- ed! Oliver had been lounging against the old oak table, teasing Jess with his whip while they waft- ed for Primrose; now he was alert and brisk, his whole form, as well as hie face, seeming full of eager de- sire. "Oliver was just going to drive Primrose and me to Arundel and +parknd thenputand round ind 'tic a up stroll bs the lake," Ella explained; "knowing I should like it, he came eerly to fetch me." "Primrose is going, you ray?" queried Derry, longing for Miss ]'as- set's adtent. "Yes, dear." `•']'hen," looking straight into 01 - iter Basset's eyes, which were fixed upon her 'with undisguised solicita- tion, "Will you take me too?" It gave Derry no surprise to see her sister blush over this outspoken request, for she new she should have dome so in hllal;'s place, and how could Elle understnnd that it had been !lard to her «•ben she had seeul- ett to ask it with such ease? Ella scrt.tinized her lover's face to see I how he received this tlemonatration , THE of her sister's forwardness, and the saw that be enlist he annoyed, for be at once turned away and went to the door; but then he had heard the wheel,.

To Ella's surprise, the party never fell into couples.

Sometimes he even turned only to address Derry, or to listen to her, for after the first mile or two the road was ne'.v to her, and she had pleasant fresh remarks to snake, and had to tea him of her modest little drives with Antos, and hots he was invaria- bly seized with alarm when they ap- proached a gate lest she should be too terrified to 'old the 'orse, "And I feel quite sure," comment- ed Ellet, "you scare him more l:y pretending to be in a panic." It was a beautiful day, and a beautiful drive, and when Primrose Basses said the way to Arundel had never seemed so short before, and looked lovingly at Oliver, feeling that it was his restored • pees: ace whish had made it so for her, she found he had looked away from all his companions, with again the dus- ky color mounting to Itis forehead. Even during their stroll, and during their rest end hutch beside the lake, the party never prop- erly divided as parties do when two of the four are affianced lovers; and when the time came for starting homeward, Oliver suggested to Ella that, as the road on the return jour- ney would he new to her sister, she might possibly wish her to have the front scat. "Thank you " said Ella "I was A9 going to propose it." But the gentle words stung Derry. Hastily alto drew hack. not only re- fusing to take the sent beside Oliver, bet oven changing with Primrose so that site should be exactly behind him • "I—I shall have to do things I hate," she said in her miserable thoughts. "but there is time." And then. as if relieved of a weight which had threatened her, she indulg- ed herself in silence, as, through all the previous hours, she had dreaded doing. When they reached the Tow- er, they all went in for leaf, loitering over it; then when Derry rose to go, Oliver coolly observed that Ella could have a further rest with Prim- rose awhile he saw Miss Hope to liar - rack's ]leacon, and that they two could walk to the Pines at their lei- sure, as he was going to dine there. "If Miss hope will accept my es- cort," he added, more humbly, Ella thought, than site had ever heard hint speak before; but theft it seemed less happily too. "I need no escort." said Derry, briefly. I could take that short cut across the downs now blindfolded." "Then you do not wish tel to coarse?" "Oh, I do," (childishly), "are you ready?" As she knew he must leve seen the change in her since the time when he used to plead in vain to (accom- pany her anywhere, she liked hint all the Netter for alluding to it.

"May I—may we call for you when we take another drive?” They were within sight of Iiarrack's, and she had stood to dismiss her escort. "May I call upon you'?" he added, emboldened by her simple thanks, and their contrast to the unvarying refusals of old times. "And Primrose was telling me yesterday," he wont on, eagerly, "she wished you would come oftener to the Tower." "If you like to call when Prim- rose does," said Derry, with gentle nonchalance, "I will show you a photograph of the little group at which you last sate lite working." "Thank you," he replied, with in- genuous delight, but yet with a sur- prise he did not attempt to con- ceal, Then he watched her out of sight, before he turned homeward with a new light in his eyes. It scarcely astonished Derry to see him at I-Iarrack's next day with his sister, nor to find that they brought an invitation to her to meet Ella at the Tower in the evening—it seemed so natural for then. to wish to make the party into a quartet! She went, and as Mrs. Martin's brougham was sent for Ella, it was also natural that Mr. Basset should walk home with the sister for whom no broug- ham could be sent. PART VII. CIIAPTER I. vrrs.eem So the weeks went on, until one day Oliver Basset told Derry that the hours he spent with her were the only really happy ones he knew, and that as she had given him hope once more, it would be doubly cruel to rob hint of it. That if site would now accept the love that had been always hers, he would go at once and honorably tell all to Ella. "Honorably!" she echoed, with such scorn that he, not understand- ing that the scorn she felt was for herself, resented ttha1 he thought she showed for him. 1lotly ho explained that he had tried to be honorable, even in asking Ella to be his wife. because—then his careless young face paled, and 11e halted.

I had a fear too terrible for me to utter even to you —though God knows I fought hard against it." "You feared your poor brother had taken his own life.

"But yiti must forgive me if I say noth- ing seems to tae more terrible than susi•c't,ng"—she caught her breath quickly. Et -en her thoughts could not hear the touch of Steven's name, and to utter it was impossible. "Steve and my brother were not good friends," Oliver went on; "There night be a thousand excuses for Stocent. As the poor fellow can never explain to us now, we must give hint the benefit of every doubt and ever;• excuse.

Sarah Eales met her en the stairs, and turned and led the sway silently to her young mistress's own sitting roost, then occupied her- self noiselessly in the background until Derry said, in her straightfor- ward way: "Sarah, I want • to bo alone with uty sister, and I have not long to stay. Go away, will you, and don't let us be disturbed."

"And—forgive me for every word • that sounds unkind—but, indeed, in- deed it is worse for me to say than for you to hear—Oliver must be lost. to you too. Don't — oh, don't look at me as if I were cruel to you. If you only knew the agony this is to me!" "Then why say it, dear?" "Ella," Derry cried, sinkingon her• t d, knees beside her sister, "if you would promise — without reasons, in your love for ate, in your wish to do --- what is right! If you would only. promise without my telling!" "All this is unintelligible to me, Derry. But perhaps" — with a sigh —"it is scarcely worth while for you to try to explain. Is it not better that. we should drop this subject be- tween us? It is surely time." "I told you," said Derry, rising and trying to suppress her passionate eagerness, as she met her sister's un - answering gaze, "that I thought -- I mean that perhaps Oliver Basset did not love you as you thought he did — as he thought he did. Now will you read this letter?" "Is it to myself?" "No, it is to me; but you will read it." When Ella quietly refolded the pa- per and handed it back to her sister, every word had been committed to memory. "You see." queried Derry, trembl- ing in her ngitatien. "I see that all men are the same, rejoined Ella. " I suppose they can not help it when a woman leads then. You have done this for some purpose of your own," • "If I have," cried Derry, passion- ately truthful, "does not it show to you how worthless his love is? You will not accept it, Ella? You will not. You can not. I only did it to show you holy little you had to give up. How little you need care. I could not love Oliver Basset. I will never speak to him again, never see him again, if you will promise me to refuse him.

The peonliar ideas some people have about newspapers is illustrated by uta. story a young man tells in Newspaper - dont, of his experiences in starting a daily in a country town. An old doctor of the town was greatly interested int the new venture, and subscribed for twenty-five copies of the paper to fiend bis friends. At the expiration o9 tbs. year, the newspaper man took hia bill to the doctor, who was greatly nurpritted. "Why" he said, "yon surely don't want. me to pay for them. I jest subscribed for them to help you out, and encourage - yen a little. I didu't think yon wont*, be mean enough to charge me anything for them." When payment was inuiotea upon,he paid under protest, and became* sworn enemy of the paper and ite editor. Auother funny thing is that many people. who advertise think they ought to have the paper given them, and that many people who pay for the paper think that: they ought to advertise for nothing.
