HAPTE I., XI. i
John Hehry 1Smith, the elder, was' a far-
mer of the better sort. He was a gentle-
man, and had Married a lady. The three
girls and the one 80I1 had all obtained good
educations, and the harsh wings of poverty
had never {catty approached the home.';
The Priory was a delightful house. Sonic
parts of it Were two or three een uries old,
other parts were convenient and modern.
The grounds round the homestead were
neatly anci beautifully kept. There were
winding walks, sheltering forest trees, an
enormous walled -in garden, and over an
acre of smoothly -kept lawn and beds geo,
with flowers.
Teflr
jgarden belonged to Agnes)
the shrubberies and tennis lawns were
Polly's special property, while Phoebe del
voted herself to the care of the fruit an
the differept glass -houses which were to b
found in the walled -in garden. The girl
were not overworked by any means. They
had a leisurely, pleasant existence --a pony
carriage for their own special benefit, dogs
to pet, birds to love, and a Persian cat to
tyrannize:over them. They seemed to wautt
for nothing in their contented young lives,
and their cup Of blies was always full when
John, theihandsome one of the family, the
pride of all the Smiths, came home from 0,0
tord to oladden them with his sunshiny
, 1
presence. •
In truth he was a very gracious, pleasant,
well-meareig young_ fellow. He meant to
do the beet possible things with his life. He
was full of kindly feelings tor both man and
beast. John's foreign tour had been the
subject of much talk before hand. Mrs.
Smith had secretly put money away for i
for many 4 year. The foreigo tour, in th
opinion of the Smith mother and the Smith
daughters, was to add the crowning touch
to John's attractiveness.
'He has had a public school, he has had a
University career, and now he shall have
the final polish which foreign travel gives,'
they exclaimed.
This was the night when John, with this
last touch of veneer about his presence, his
mamma, his appearance, had come home.
Mrs. Smith had only just escaped death
from pneumonia, but she was now out of
danger, and the girle felt their hearts very
light. 1
'Do you know,' said Polly, as she sat by
Phoebe's aide, 'do you know, girls, that she
is doing it; Nancy is talking to him—they
are standing now in the porch. I wonder
l
what will be the consequence ?'
'He will marry Nancy, of course,' said
Agnes. 'She is the wife of all others we'd
like best. He will settle down near us
then, and all will be well. Nancy will h vas
a little money of her own now that her un le
is dead, so the engagement need not last
very long.'
'He'll probably propose for her to -night,'
said Polly, 'I wonder how he'll look when
be does ital I should like to open the win
dow a little and peep out.'
' No, ng, Polly, how mean !' exclaimed
Phoebe. 'Do let them alone. How solemn
Nancy looked at tea -time; no one would
suppose that she was in the presence of her
lover; but now do come to bed, I am dying
with sleep." ,
The girls 'retired to their respective cham-
bers, but the voices in the porch kept on
talking until almost midnight.
'You can eshut up, John, when you are
inclined to go to bed,' said his father ae he
walked through the passage and saw the
pair standing side by side with the moon-
light shining over them: 'Nancy, my girl,
aren't you a bit sleepy? Don't let that lad
of mine keeri you up too late ! She has
been like an angel in this helm for the last
week, John, looking after your mother da ,
and night. I doubt if she'd have pulled
through but for Nancy I'
'
God -bless her for it,' said John, withi
fervor. i
'Aye, aye, that's what I say too! Well
I'm off to bed—I have an easy heart in nlfr
breast now that you hasssssreturned, my boy,
and now thait your rnotliir is out of the
wood, Good.night, Nancy.'
4 Good-nigiite Uncle John,' she called after
him. He Was no relation, but she always
called him by that name.
As soon as ever the old man disappeared,
Nancy turoed to John, stretched out her
white hand, and laid it on his arm.
'Now, Jack,' she said, 'you can tell me
all about it !' 'About what?' he stammered, but there
was a sudden break in his voice.
'Something has awakened you, Jack,' she
said, with ei Sort of motherly tenderness i
her eyes. [
'God knowe it, Nancy,' he replied the
with fervor; 4 If= the most awfully mise
able—I am the most unlucky clog in the
wide world, Oh, God help me—don't loo
at me in that way, Nancy Browne, or i'll
do something I'd be ashamed to think of. I
feel nearly mad. . Oh, yes, I' em awake
enough now; and I have kept it in—I bade,
not let a moan out of me. For two days
and nights every nerve of my body has bee
torn as with red hot pincers. Not a livin
soul has guessed that there was anythin
the mattee ; no, not one. Why do yo
force me to talk; can't you let the thin
drop? I arn mad with misery—but nothio
can be done. Do for God's sake let the
thing drop.'
'No, John, because you must moan ter
somebody or you will go mad! I kno
what has happened to you—you have falls
in love. I used to wish so earnestly them
you would l'
'You wee a demon to wish anything , f

fashion."
'Come and sit down,' said Nancy.
