Every time i repeated those inspiring words I was confirmed in my determination not to live a lie. I would be true to myself, for only in that way could I possibly hope for God's peace. But Job lingered day after day as persistent as ever. «Friend Dean,” said I at last, out of all pa- tience, ‘ywhy will thee pursne thts subject far- ther ? Thee has used every argument, thee has worn out thy invention !” ““Yetthere is one thing I have not said,” | Job burst forth in a voice of desperation. «If thee will not marry me lamaruined man!

Fare thee well, Job Dean!” Iam afraid father was rather glad to find him so thoronghly unworthy. “Thee may uow have a pretty clear con- | science, Rachel, for his heart is not broken, thee may depend upon that !” i javghed aloud, the first time for many & day. It was so plain to us all what had been the canse of Job’s restless anguish. I had tor- iven him the debt ; it was quite as well as if I ad married him ; his lacerated affections were healed on the instant. Did I thank God for my escape? Yes, though there seemed nothing in the future but long days, though I had no hope of being happy; yetI eres Him for the peace of a life true to myself. his might have been the end of my story had I written it a year and ahalfago; but now I must add how Dr. Ehrmaan came home after six months of hospital fever, a mere wreck of his old self—how glad I was to see him, how much afraid he would know it; thee understands it, fair reader. I was s@ shocked too, so grieved by his altered appearance! It was alll could do to keep my heart ont of my face without trying to speak. le held my hand in his for a long while, saying, ‘Oh, Rachel, what is this? When I went Sway there was no farewell forme; have you no welcome either ?”” Then a feeling of bitter jealousy gave me won . «* Patience can greet thee cordially enon; cover all my deficiencies.” “J alas «Can thee mean little Patience Swan?” laughed he almost joyfully, ‘swhy she’s to be married very soon, I hear! Say those words again. Rachel—I don’t know why, but there is something in the tone of thy voice that pleases me right well (my mind is weak yet:) almost as if thee would besorry a very litile, if I cared ues sue Patience jocked down at the carpet and stammere that I had only repeated whatall the village said; there was never any accounting for gossip. «That is most true, Rachel, but wili thee account for one story I have heard ? Is it mere idle talk that thy engagement with Job Deaa is broken !” « Yes, no,” faltered I. eagerly, “* verily ended!” “ Verily.” Oh, Rachel, then I can speak without trea- son; nen I find thee free to listen, though too Jate, Ifear.
