oy bitter tears rand fierce heart -pangs,
such as death itself sometimes brings.
In that household there was, after
Katy, no ono glad of that marriage
except the mother, and she was only
glad because of the position it would
bring to her daughter. But among
them all Morris suSiered most, and
suffered more because he had to en-
dure in secret, so that no one guess-
ed the pain it was for hila to go
each dray where Katy was, and watch
her as she sometimes donned a part
of her finery for his benefit, asking
him once if he did not wish he were
in Wilford's place, so as to have as
pretty a bride as she should make.
Then Marian Hazelton glanced up in
time to see the expression of his face,
a look whose meaning she readily
recognized, and when 1)r. Grant left
the farm -house that day, another
than himself knew of his love for
Katy, drawing her breath hurriedly
as she thought of taking back the
words, "1 never will,"—of revoking
that decision and telling Katy what
Wilford Cameron should have told
her long before. But the wild wish
fled, and Wilford's secret was safe,
while 'Marian watched Morris Grant
with n pitying interest as he came
among thein, speaking always in the
same kind, gentle tone, and trying
so hard to enter into Katy's joy.
"Itis burden is greater than mine.

she resumed her work.

those of Ilelen.

so strange that Katy wondered if
she could have ofieuded her, and at
last said to her timidly, as she
stood with her bonnet on, waiting
for 'Uncle Epiiraitlt, "You are not

On the morning of the 9th day yet

him up to his idol, asking only thai
none of the idol's family should he
permitted to cross their threshold,
and also that the idol should not
often be allowed the privilege of re-
turning to the place front whence she
canto. These restrictions had eman-
ated from the female portion of the
Cameron family, the mother, Juno
and Bell. The father, on the con-
trary, had sworn roundly as he
would sometimes. swear at what he
called the contemptible prldd of his
wife and daughters. Katy was sure
of a place in his heart just because
of the pride which was building up
so high a wall between her and her
friends, and when at parting he held
his son's hand in his, he said:
"I charge you Will, be kind to that
young girl, and don't for Heaven'ti1
sake go to cramming hor with airs
and nonsense which she doe* not un-
derstand. Tell her I'll be 4 tether
to her; hor own, you" say, is dead,
and give hor this as my bridal pres-
ent."
He held out a small box contain-
ing a most exquisite set of pear:e,
such as he fancied would be becom-
ing to the soft, girlish beauty Wil-
ford had described. Something tic

closely, making hits resolve anew

His mother had said all she wished
to say, while his sisters had been
gracious enough to send their love to
the bride, Bell hoping she would
look as well in the poplin and little
plaid as she had done. Either was
suitable for the wedding day, Mrs.
Cameron said, and she might take

see her. And with his brain a con-
fused medley of poplins and plaids,
belts and gloves, pearls acid Katy.
Wilford finally tore himself away,
and at three o'clock that afternoon
drove through Silverton village past
the little church, %(hick the Silver-
ton maidens were decorating with
flower's, pausing' a, moment in their
work as he tient by. Among them
'was Marion 1faz.'Iton, but she only

" The handsomest man I ever

the girls as they came hack to their
work, while Wilford drove on to the
farm -house where Katy had been so
anxiously watching for hitn.
When he came in sight, however.

she ran away to hide her blushes, and
the feeling of awe which had come
suddenly over her for the man who
was to be her husband. But Helen

with loving caresses, and then put

He left the room, while Helen's
face resembled a dark thunder -cloud
whose lightnings shone in her flash-
ing eyes as sho looked atter him and
then batik to where Katy stood, be-
wildered and wondering what was
wrong.
"'Who is Mrs. Ryan?" she asked.
"What does he moan?" but before
aeleit could command her voice to
plain, Wilford was with them again
bringing the dresses, over which Katy
neferiy went wild.

elegant as the rich, heavy poplin or
the soft lu*tt'ous silk, while even

and whispered to her: "Don't Nellie,
I won't wear either of them. I'll
wear the one you made. It was
mean and vain in me to think of do-
ing otherwise,"
During this scene Wilford had stol-
en from the room, and with him
gone, Helen was capable of judging
candidly and sensibly. She knew the
city silk was handsomer and better
suited for Wilford Cameron's bride
than the country plaid, and so she
said to Katy: "I would rather you
should wear the one they sent. It
will become you better. Suppose
you try it on," and in seeking to
gratify her sister, Helen forgot in
part her own. cruel disappointment,
and that her work of days had been

CHAPTER. X
There were more than a few looker-
on to see Katy Lennox married, and
the church wits literally jammed for
fail three-quarters of an hour before
the appointed time. Back by the
door, where she commanded a full
view of the middle aisle, Marian fia-
eelton sat, her face as white as ashes
a rid her eyes gleaming strangely
wild from beneath the thickly dotted
veil site wore over her hat. Doubts
as to her wisdom in corning there
were agitating her mind, but some-
thing kept her sitting just as others
sat waiting for the bride until the
sexton, opening wide the doors, and
as ;timing an added air of consequence
told the anxious spectators that the
party had arrived—Uncle Ephraim
and Katy, Wilford and Mrs. Lennox,
'1r, Morrie and Helen, Aunt Hannah
and Aunt Betsy—that was all, and
they camp slowly up the aisle, while
countless eyes were turned upon them,
every woman noticing Katy's dress
thecarpet with so
longa
sweepingc e
P
trail, and knowing by some queer
fenealo instinct that it was city -made,
and not the handiwork of Marian
Hiteelton, panting for breath in that
pew near the door, and trying to for-
get herself by watching Dr. Grant.
She could not have told what Katy
wore; she would not have sworn that
Katy was there, for she saw only
two, Wilford and Morris Grant. She
could have touched the former as he
passed her by, and she did breathe
the odor of his garments while her
hands clasped each other tightly,
and then she turned to Morris
Grant, growing content with her own
pain, so much less than his as he
stood before the altar with Wilford
Cameron between him and the bride,
which should have been his. How
pretty she was in hor wedding gerb,
and how like a bird her voice rang
out as elle responded to the solemn
question:
"11111 you have this man to b* thy
wedded husband," ete.
-Upon Uncle Ephraim devolved the
duty of giving her away, a thing
which Aunt Betsy denounced as a
'"I'iseopai quirk," classing it In the
same category with dancing, Still
if Ephraint had got it to do she
wanted him to do it well, and she
had taken some pains to study that
part of the cereutouy, so as to know
when to nudge her brother in case
he failed of coming up to time.
"Now, Ephraim, now; they've
reached the quirk," she whispered
audibly, almost before Katy's " I
will—was heard, clear and distinct;
but Ephraim did not need her
prompting, and his hand rested lov-
ingly upon Katy's shoulder as he
signified his consent, and then fell
back to his place next to Hannah.
But when Wilford's voice said: "' I,
Wilford, take thee Katy to be my
wedded wife," there was a slight
confusion near the door, and those
sitting by sold to those sitting in
front that someone had fainted.
Looking round, the audience saw the
sexton leading Marian Hazelton out
into the open air, where at her re-
quest, he left her, and went beet( to

Wilford was just then too much
occupied in his effort to rescue Katy
front the crowd of plebeians who had
seized upon her to :hear his friend's
query, but Helen heard it, and with
a cheek which crimsoned with anger!
she replied:
"That, sir, is my aunt, Miss Betsy
Barlow,"
"1 beg your pardon, I really do.
I was not aware--" Mark began,
lifting his hat iuvolunt'rity, and
mentally cursing himself for not ob-
servieg :lira was near to him before
asking personal questions.
With a toss of her head Helen turn-
ed away, forgetting her resentment
in the more absorbing thought that
Katy was leaving her.
The bell had rung, the heavy mer,
chinory groaned lend creaked, and the
long train was under way, while
from an open window a. little white
hand was thrust, waving its hand.- '

drew it in, experiencing a feeling of
relief that all was over, and that un-.
less he chose his wife need never re

standing upon the platform and look- .

hearts after the fast receding tisk.
For a moment Marie talked with
Motifs Grant, explaining how he
came there, and adding that 00 the
morrow he too intended going C to
Boston, to remain for a few days be-
fore Wilford sailed; then, feeling that
ho must 111 some way atone for his

her bands of rich brown hair
and the smooth, broad forehead,
While her hands were locked together,
and a tear trembled on her dark eye-
lashes. Taken as a whole she made
a striking picture standing apart
from the rest and totally oblivious
to them all, and Mark gazed at her a
mo"tent curiously; then, as her atti-
tu changed and she drew her hat
hack; to its place, he advanced to-
ward her, making some pleasant re-
mark about the morning and the ap-
pearance of the country generally.
Ile knew he could not openly apolo-
gize, but 11e made what amends he
could by talking to her so familiarly
that Helen almost forgot how she
hated him and all others who like
hint lived in New York and resembl-
ed Wilford Cameron. It was Mark
who led her to the carriage which
Morris said was waiting. Meek, who
handed her it1, smoothing down the
folds of her dress, and then stood
leaning against the door, chatting
with Morris, who thought once of
asking him to enter and go back to
Linwood. But when ho remembered
how unequal he Was to entertaining
any one that, (lay, he said merely;
"On your way from Boston, call
and see ate. I stall be glad of your
c"rtnpany then."
"Which means that you do not
wish it now," Mark laughingly re-
joined, as, offering his hand to both
Morris and 'Helen, he touched his hat
and walked away.

"Why (1i(1 you Invite him to Ltn-

noes," and the sister love overcame
et a v other feeling, making Helen cry
hit ierly as they drove back to the
farts -house.
Morris could not comfort her then,
and 50 iu silence he left her and went
on his tray to Linwood. It was well
for hint that there wore many sick

WonderFui Machine �w
An engineer, working away from home
boarded at a house much frequented by,
locomotive engineers and firemen, who;
bragged a great deal about their feats
in getting their trains over certain hills;
without the help of a second locomotive.
At last the stranger grew tired of it,i
and one evening at supper said loudly,
to his vis-a-vis. Weil, I went over and
saw that new machine today, and it's'
astonishing the fine work it does."
"Oh, how does it work?" inquired'
the man addressed.
"Well by means of a pedal attach-
ment, a fulcrumed lever converts a ver-
tical reciprocating motion into a circul-2
ar movement. The principal part of
the machine is a huge disc that revolves
in a oe:tieal plane. Power is applied
through the axis of the disc, and where
