Adelaide Lindsley; | —OoR— TTE “MABRIAGE I¥ HASTE.” - DORR. BY MKS- JULIA Ce “CHAPTER I. “Never—Theresa Gordon——I tell I never would forgive a And you never! man who doubted my truth!”’ Adelaide Lindsley’s dark eye flash- | ed and her lip curled naughtily. ‘Better not be to confident, Ade- | laide,’”’ replied Theresa. Gordon. “[have known girls to doa great} many things that they had been very sure they should never do.”’ *‘And so have I,’’ added the third of the trio—fair Kate Warren—the widowed sister of of Adeline Linds- ley, ‘tand particularly with regard to matrimonial affairs. When I hear a young lady saying thhat she shall never marry—oh, no! she would not marry for the world—not she! I yenerally take it for granted that she isonly waiting for and offer. And don’t you remember Charlotte Pierce? She was always saying that nothing ceuld mduce her te a widower—and what was marry the result? Why, she married a man who had lost two wives and had six children. And there was Susan Leonard—she would never be the wite of any other than a tall dig- uified man, considerably older than 1 saw her last week in com- company with her husband... He is just about as tallas you are, Ade- laide, and looks full five years youn- yer than herselt. It isjust so almost always, and as for you, sis, I expect you would forgive not only seven times, but seventy times seven.’” **You are very much mistaken, girls, both of you,’’ was the reply; “I believe I know my own heart quite as well as you can possibly know it. Icould forgive a great many unkind and hasty words, for 1 know I am passionate and irritable myself, and might otten deserve to receive them. I do not know but I might—I really think I coutd—for- give inconstancy, if it did not last too long; but I could not, I) would not continue to love one whe dared to doubt me.”’ “You are a queer girt, Adelaide,”’ said Theresa; ‘‘sometimes I hardly know what to make ot vou. What it George Tilden were here ?”’ ‘That would not alter the case. [should say precisely what I say The man who wishes to call herself. now. me his wife must trust me with a verfect trust.”” “But. my dear sister,’? asked Kate, ‘tcould you trust as implicitly ? You love George Tilden, and ex- pect to marry him, but I think cir- cumstances might arise that would lead you to doubt his truth.’* “No, Kate, I would not believe that he was false to me unless his own hps pleaded guilty to the charge; and | demand equal confi- dence from him. **Byt some people are naturaily mere suspicious—more inclined to be jealons than others; could you not make allowance for that?” ‘1 don’t think that ought to make any difference. George Tilden knows that I love him; he has gain- ed the contession from me—not easily nor witout effort—not so eas- | ily that he might be justified in think- mg that 1 was more easily won by the love than the lover, and that the next pair of eloquent lips that choose might woo ms to like confession— i but soberly and thoughtfully. And he has no right to distrust me. If he should—”’ ssWell what if he should? It is always best te be prepared for emergencies. Ada.”’ “You think I am enly joking, Kate, but Iam insuber earnest. Then I should tell aim tmat his heart was at his own disposal again, and that he had better place it in the j keeping ef one whem he could trust.”” The group ef whose conversation we have just been listening would, tegether with their surroundings, have formed a fine study for an ar- tist. for Kate Warren, although she had, | in the short space ef seven months, wer both the dndal wreath and_ the widow's veil had hardly passed | Only one of the three girls— | 4 and wo east she thought looked in the pos: s beauty. | tainly never that | without beholding bng cheeks, an+ curls glossy the age of girlhood-—was essor of more than ordinary | Yet, as they sat there upon | mossy Dank, just within the suadow ss of those tall, dark pines, it would | confirm her in that opinion. have been difficult to find rettier| But Adelaide has been waiting a | picture . | long time for Kate’s response to her 4 last remark.
