In addition to such attractions were those of the voice and laugh.

Her purse, though never overstocked, was often open to help the poor. It was in the time when people were arrested for debt. Her own father had, when she was achild, died in prison because he could not pay off his credi- tors. Since then, by giving miusic-lessons, and by other means, her mother had contrived to maintain herself and daughter until the latter was old enough to assist her, when they succeeded in laying by a small sum for a “rainy day.’ At seventeen Bell was engaged toa promising lawyer named Henry Rich- ards, a nobleyoung man, who never practised his profession exceptin the. right cause. he lovers resided near each other, Richard occupying a small cottage op- ite the home of his betrothed, whose right face at the window often cheered him in the midst of his day-studies, and perhaps drew him a little too much away from them. It was indeed sweet recreation to the young lawyer to look up, now and then, to see the bright eyes of the young wo- man he loved peering laughingly at him through the window-panes. One day Bell observed a slender young man enter the lawyer's cottage. After that she noticed that her lover, even when in her company, : seeme? thoughtful and abstracted. She asked him what made him so, when he answered that a friend of his— Tom Brace—a rather wild young man, had run himself into debt, and was liable any moment to be arrested. She learned that the slender youth she had seen enter his cottage was the person he, alluded to. Finally the brow of Richards cleared, and Bell was as me: as a bird over the change. She forbore questioning him, but she doubted not that he had found some way to help his friend. A week passed; the day fixed for the union of the young couple was fast ap- proaching. “Bell,” said Richards to the girl one evening, “I believe our wedding-day was to have been on the fourteenth of the present month, was it not, dear?” A blush and a pressure of the hand was the sweet response. “Excuse me, but if you are willing we will put it off— say two weeks later.” Bell turned ‘aside her head and slight- ly pouted; but femalemodesty prevented her showing disap; Curiosity, however, made her play- fully enquire his reason for this change. “You will pardon me,” he answered, “put not even to you, dearest, must I explain my reason.” IONTGOMERY WARD & CO. & 229 Wabash Avenno, Chicago, 1!.

He had wanted to put off their wed- ding-day. Alas, what pertidy! He had seen another young lady, whom he doubtless loved better than Bell, and that was why he bad not been willing to explain the reason when she had ask- ed him. How could she doubt it? Had sne not seen the visitor embrace her lover? are her eyes could not have deceived er. To make assurance doubly sure, how- ever, she would look again. She did so, and there satthe lady-visitor, still with av arm round Richards’ neck, and that brazen housekeeper looking on. Bell was now peeping through the curtain, so that Richards, who, now and then, looked uneasily towards her window, could not see her. No wonder he felt uneasy. How much more so wouid he feel did he know she was watching him! But poor Beil ad now seen enough. She drew back, and throwing herself upon a lounge, sobbed as if her heart would break. feelin that her peace in this world was wrecked for ever. Finaliy she wiped ber eyes, removed the traces of tears, and composed ber face, that her motier, who was absent, might not detect her agitation when she should return. “Mania,” she said, when at length, Mrs. Bronson having returned, she wheeled her chair to her daughter's side, ‘please give this note to Henry if he calis this evening.” And she puta note in her mother’s hand, exerting herself to muntan a composed air while speaking. Then she went upto her room, re- marking that she had a headache, and would go to lie down a while. Mrs. Bronson sat looking st the out- side of tae note, wondering what were its contents, as it was not usual for Bell to deal this way with her lover. From the window of her apartment Bell finally saw the lady-visitor depart. She was a pale-faced young woman, with blue eyes and chestnut hair. Bell clenched her teeth and her eyes flashed with indignation. She could perceive at once that the object of her regards was not half as pretty as herself, which at least was some satisfaction, though it made her ponder and harass herself the more, wondering at Henry’s choice. Pertidious young man. He had al- ways that the brunette style suited him better than any other. The eolor forsook Beil’s cheek, sighs convulsed her bosom; moaning she walked the room, for hers was a true woman’s nature, which could not easily give up the man whom she had almost worshipped. Finally Henry came. She heard the door-bell ring, heard his step upon the stairs. She threw herself upon the lounge, her heart beating wildly. Meanwhile Henry, entering the apart- ment below, Mrs. Bronson gave him the note. “Bell is not well,’’ said she; “the note probably is a request for you to ex- cuse her this evening.” He opened the note, read it, and turn- ed as white as a sheet. These were its contents: “Mr. Richards.—All is over between us. Ask your own heart why. Mine is breaking. Fare- well for ever. Say nothing to mamma; it would distress her. Beil.” Henry endeavored to compose him- self; but Mrs. Bronson had already de- tected the startling change in his coun- tenance. “Is anything the matter?” she in- quired. ‘Bell can probably tell you; I cannot. Will you please ask her if she won’t see me only for a few minutes. Tell her I do not understand her note.” Mrs. Bronson did as requested but Bell would not come down. «What is the use?” she said to herself. “Did I not see it all with my own eyes?” Then ber mother, winding her arms round the neck of the afflicted one, kiss- ed her, and, smoothing her hair, said, as she had been wont todoever since Beil was a child: “Tell me, dearest, what it is?” “No, no, mamma!’ sobbed the lite brunette; ‘some other time—some other time!” Then she drew back, her white teeth clenched. “Mamma, I feel wicked! Oh, mamma, Icouid pull that light hairever so hard!” At which terrible announcement she again broke down, rending the air with her sobs. “Whose hair? Not mine, dearest, I hope?” exclaimed Mrs. Bronson, whose hair was growing light with age. “Oh, no, no, no; indeed, my own dear mamma!” cried Bell, covering the grey hair with kisses. ‘It is—it is—oh, Y will teil you some other time; but do not breathe a word of this to him!’ Mrs. Bronson returned, looking grave, tothe apartment where Henry stood waiting. “My child is ill,” said she. “She de- cidediy refuses to come down. Upon my word, Mr. Richards, Ido not un- derstand it.” The young man departed, saying he would call again. He did so next day, when the servant answering his summons at the door put another note mm his hand: “Mr. Kichards.—Pray, never come again. Allisover. Iwi. never see you again. Bell.” Richards now was indignant. He turned away proudly, making up his mind that Bell, who wouid not even tender an explanation, was a heartless coquette. A wealthy old acquaintance of her mother’s had wanted Bell fora wife; perhaps she had decided to accept him, and discard her former lover.

On the day appointed the community assembled and stood about in groups discussing either the departed or the condition of the crops, while the neigh- bor in charge bustled from one room to another making the last arrangements.
