I haven't forgot p- about that Thanksgiving day." nt And Will laughed out in such a it cheery, brave way, his tnother almost y smiled ; but she shook her head with - a al, for her common-sense stood in the e way of her sympathies. Y But Will. was not to bd daunted. He e slept precious little that night; his - brain was busy with plans for the futurev He recognized it es the first necessity - that Annie should not be allowed to s forget hirre For the present he must e keep his situation. Next winter a series n of evening schools for adults was to be- - gin in Dartford, and his.... train. brought ✓ him there for the night. Re must at; d tend these, and work hard to lay the n founclaticiu of an education, for the fruit t of the tree of knowledge is the heredit- d ary longing of man, and the end of his s' her wont, but waited pa.tiently for he to appear. It was not 'long before Mrs. Hul came in, and Cynthia proceeded to un folci leer budget. She sat very nea the open door into the office, and th repose, even -unto this da,y. These two. things he was set upon*; and ascartain- ing_ that Aapie VMS still at home, the aose long before dawn on Monday m ail- ing, walked over to -Square Pond, ad ✓ coming back, by early daylight, huugon the side door of Squire Hall's maneiou 1 a basket Of drippinge,vatea-hly buds _ leaves, feagrant and pure its the ideal he ✓ cerried in his;heart, mad directed on a e rude label of bark to Annie. This was gentle, anxious mother, as soon es she perceived the communication concern- ed her Aunie, rose to shut it. "Leave that door open!" growled the judge, who sat suspiciously near. And trembling Mrs.'Hall whiapered -to Cynthia—"Speak a little lower, Cyn - thy." "Speak a little louder!" thundered the squire. eWhat are you saying about Annie r And nothing daunted, the resolate spinster proceeed to lay before these parents the shocking fact, extenuated, and set down in full malice, that their predates daughter was flirting openly and wickedly with a brakeman on the Dartford train, and that their love pas- sages were the scorn and ridicule of all thpassengers, far and near. The judge wasnaiads, and Mrs. Hall drowned in tears. ' • "Now, ef I was you—" suggested, the spinster. "Which you ain't," severely snapped *the judge, but to no purpose; she mere- ly resumed the thread. lpf her words like an echo : "Ef I was you, 1 wa ain't say noth- ing to Annie; she's aw 'al romantie and sentimental, and all tiet!. and it'll only set her on't right off. She's just the one to keep it up ef she keaws you don't fa- vor it none. Elf I was you"— "You woularf t be a fool!". growled the judge. "I haven't been married twenty-five years for nothing, Cynthy Swett. I know women folks by this time." "WellI shouldn't wonder ef you did judge; but it does beat all things to think of her takin' up with old joel White's boy." "-I dome but what, he's a decent be - hexed boy," gently chirped the weeping mother, anxious to excuse Annie. "He was real good to Sera, you know, hus- band ' - he set up Viith him more fre- quentthan anybody." "Well, well, that isn't to the purpose'," wife. I paid hi a mother more'n was . really reasopable, because of that; were quits as faar as that goes. I won't leave him toolin' round -Annie, anywa,p ; but 1 kuow how to manage it. I don't7say but whet I'm obteeged to you, Cyntity. I'm glad to kuow of it. but I can take care of it myself." And with a majestie WaNTO of the hand the judge dismissed the subject, and the two 'women-fulks:' retiaea to discuss it after their own fashion in Mrs. -Hall's -bedroom. The judge, it Must be owned, went about the matter very calmly. He said nothing, but used his influence among the officials—for he was a director and heavy stockholder ou the Eastere'Rail- road,. of which the Crampton and Dart- ford line was a branch—end in a Week • or two Will was promoted to the con - doctorship of a freight train, which nev- er even passed the morning express, or was passed by it.. He was pleased and pained both. His wages were increased, but he could not see Annie ; encl thOugh lie was °easel- ous that thus be made one step toward her, he was actually thrust away from her sweet presence. Only Sundays could. he be at lenne, and. the very first Sunday she was not in the church. She add her mother had gone to Dartford. shopping, Mrs. White 'said, andestaid over to hear a wonderful preacher. But the second Sunday- he found his usually pla,ciel mother boiling ewith in- dignatiou. For all his boasted knowl- edge of women, the squire had not reck- on Miss Cynthadslongue, or the power of gossip in a little country vile lage. Filled with a lively view of her own penetration and importance, the spinster had. reveeled her discovery and her counselliug with Judge Hall to at least three dear friends, uuder vows of secrecy; but each of them found out that the other two knew as much aas sit re ge CO be Au see th ha cc da to wh na aft Wi an e, and indignant at Cynthia's want of ticance, concluded not to keep such a aeral secret any longer; and of arse, a frieu.d. felt it to. te a duty that rs.

And. from hand to t lid the suggestion ha,d 1.-yrown. into. rtainty, the school selected, and the a to of Annie's departure fixed—all of h ich would. have been es much news e t fall family as it was to the 1 idow White. But grieft and. indig- d tion overpowered the poor WOMS33 t neli as she poured. out. the story to 11. 'How could you think ej et, William i by, Squire Hall wouldn't scnrce let w angel out o' heaven have his gal.! h • the beginning of his siege. Scarcely a week passed but some token of a watch- ful affection reached -the kirl, if it was only an exquisite flower frora a hot- houtee or a bunch of specaless end trans- lucent grapes; for. el'ien these small gifts bore heavily . on Will's smell meansa. though he grudged nothing to attitii his object. : Still,- all his efforts might, have been useless but for an ally in -the enemy's camp he knew nothing of. . There is a certain impartiality in gossip that ,Some- times does duty as e virtue ; .talk is like air, it goeseeverywliete, often where it Would willingly be kept from going; and in all the buzz and bustle there was in Crampton about Annie's stifled love affair, it was imposeible but that some- tleiug should reach her ears end fire her - imagined -on. To be the . heroine ofj'j real romance, with a devoted lover and a cruel father, seemed to her the height of bliss. She did not know how much easier it is to read a three -volume novel than to live one ;- and it. was migbtily pleasant to receive these anonyenous gifts, knowing perfectly well whom they came from, and brood over them with all the aomentic fancies and visions of "sweet seventeen." It was not quite so agreeable wawa the judge, going out one -morning un- usually early, discovered a bouquet with henuanie attacbecl hanging to the door -knob, and burled it, with an igne- rainons expletiv-e, into the pig -pen across the road—a, place of deposit . from. which she could not rescue evee 1 a fragment .to weep over. But the angry father "builded better than he knew ;" that spark of opposition kindled . the tinder ready for douflagratiou in her girlish heart, and the destroyed bouquet was the first gun fired iu a long inter- necine war. In vain clid the judge lio 1 in wait for tokens of communicattoe be- tween the lovers; a, quicker wit than - his forestalled him. And when, in a fit of desperation, he did at .last send - Annie awey t6,school,- he could not for-. bid. the express company or the mail to . carry the constant tokens 'which kept up her interest in and recollection of the handsome, spirited young. fellow . who evidently adored her, though afar Off. White's treatment of tbe cases, adding that he himself could have done no more. This, indeed, wadi e feather in cap, and did him more good than a year's experience with the rather dis- trustful clients. among those left to his Cain. He took courage, and what- ever time his practice left him he devoted still to study, for which Dr. Hyde's fine library offered him eyary facility. • In the .meantime Annie Hell ' grown up into a beautiful young wo- man, and plenty of lovers " cam down the glen ;" but to each and all she turned a deaf ear, If She was rOnia.ntio,- her heart 'Was faithful; and though she would not own eveu to herself where ite• constaacy. belonged, she still telt very positively that no other man moved hr interested.her ; and though Judge Hall sometimes wondered what made his little girl so fastidious, he did pot want to lose her, and she had her own way in peace. Through . Jthese years the• slight and nameless tokens of remem- brance had never ceased; rib le,itival of the yeal: was unmarked by them, and never a ThO,Uksgiving passed with- out -Will White's appearance in the vil- lage church, beside his mother, and one deep bow and eloquent look always awaited Annie at the church door. The judge uever went to church on Thanksgivipg day, and Cynthia invari- ably spent it in Dartford, so Annie had her bit of romance in peace. But it was not always to be so. The judge was seized Ceyith a severe attack ofpneumonie the wiltter after Dr. Hyde left Dartford, and as the Crampton doc- tor was helpless with a broken leg, Dr. Hyde was sent for, and his substitute, Dr. Wlaibe, came instead. Judge Hall was too ill to recognize him, and Aare. Hall too glad to have e doctor .at all, to think of past misfortunes ; and Annie received him with a blush that was ex- quisite, and a smile radiant enough to nominate any Illan's soul. Will went ebOut his task with 'skill and energy. The judge was very ill indeed, and for several days hung between life ad. u death; but at last the balance turned toward this world, and, weak as a baby, the pompous olcl niau crept back into ife by the slowest progress; but it meant, living, and that was enough. .1 errs! Hell blessed the doctor over and over, and cried herself into :jOyful hye Aeries. Annie went up to rim with b • his wife, and a home for his mother; et 1 it was nto be perilled for an impulse,.of the inoment or a passing gratifica- tion. Sci he studied on, and by dint'of applying hie native common sense to the theories of the books and . lectures . through' which he plodded, he learned far more than the rest of his class, and in three years was iestalled once more in Dr. Hyde's office as his assistiint. Five times Thanksgiving had come and gone shine the sad day he had made e that promise to his mother, and he -seemed little netteeti its fulfillment; but he did uat clespidal and soddenly the ! sky brightened lea him. Au elder 'brother of Dr. 11Ydo had longagO gone ! to California, and acquiring a fortune; had settled in : one of the soathern towns, and made for himself a beauti- ful and luxurious home. -The doctor had always wanted. a) visit him, but never foaud the time; and about Six ! montbs after Will came to help him, a _ letter from one of his nieces oxidise ' saying that her father had been sei ed ; with paralysis, and though he had rani- ' ed from the first shock, life seemed so insecure to him he must see his brother as soon as possible. So Dr. Hyde, who was -a childless widower, made his few . arrangements rapidly. put his practfce alto Wiil's hands, and obeyed the sum- mons. -This was, indeed, a stroke of forturie. , Dr. White had made alreada a favbr- I able impression in Dartford, and when on one or two occasions of grave im- portance the celebrated Dr. Packard, of New Yorle *was celled. to counsel . with him, he expressed himself with great urbauity, awl strong approbation of Da., In the Meantime Will improved bis opportunities at Dartford; he studied. with unflaggiug zeal ; and his naturally n quick mind, stimulated by the ardor of .1. passion and the farce of that will his; mother so lamented, seemed to defy obstacles and literally devour the way.
