But I'll just goa little way down the hill.” A glad voice comes up from under the dark shadow of the trees, calling her name. The light In her eyes prevents her seeing who It is, but she knows it is the man she came to mect. She sits calmly down on the bank by the road- Bide and fans herself with a huge piece of bracken.

I shall never know aday's happiness till you love me or I hate you!” He drops her hand, and without looking at her turns ne was going to walk with him——,” she says, slowly, apparently addressing a swallow that'skims by. The much-enduring man turns eagerly. Howcompletely she hashim at her mercy. But E shan’t now; ob, no!” He moodily walks away again, “Father wants you to come in this evening, George,” she goes on, with a sudden assump- tion of’ friendliness, bringing him again toa standstill, “and I want you, too,” with the kindest of looks from the lovely gray eyes. “You haven't told me a word about London yet.” She turns away as she speaks and springs lightly over the stile into the fleld, leaning aver it to call to him. “Be sure you come, George; and don’t bring that little black dog on your shoulder!” With a ringing laugh she lightly runs away. ‘Just as she reaches the next stile somebody else reaches it from the other side. She looks up and her eyes encounter evident admiration in those of a well-dressed handsome young man. He draws back slightly and raises his cap. ‘Fyou were just going to get over the stile,” he says politel “And So Were you,” she returns, partly to gain time. She has’ no fancy for climbing Stiles with people looking on, especially, she feels, rather than thinks, this handsome atranger. “Perhaps there is ro need for me to do so. €an you tell me ifthis is the right way to the ‘Magpie and Stump’? She ponders. Then she gives him directions solengthy and complicated that the gigantic memory of a Mucaulay would scarcely avail to | hold them. “I am very sorry,” he says, apologeticall when she pauses, having landed_him in imagi- nation at the ‘Magpie and Stump;’ but I am afraid 1 cannot remember one single thing?” She repeats them, as briefly as possible. He protests his head ‘fs far too stupid to carry so Much. Will she not come alittle way, a very Httle way, to show him till he can find it for himself?

She timidly averts her eyes, while the crim- son dyes her cheeks. Poor, jgnorant child! how should she know how little the tender tone and look are in earnest? “But I am going to begin business to-mor- row,” he continues, selfishly enjoying her prett; confusion. “I am’ going to fish in the broo that skirts Milbrook Farm.

She tosses her dainty head con- temptuously. “Indeed I never thought about you at all!” she declares, which is @ lie on the face of it, Miss Phy!lis, and you know it, and he knows it. ‘Nay, that is the unkindest cut of all.

To do him justice, he mutters to himself: “Then there must bean end to this pleasant fooling,” and then an insane desire to supplant the luckless George in the affections of this lovely little ignoramus seizes him, and grows, and grows. ‘Do you like him?” he asks, “Yes,” calmly. “Oh, yes, I like him when he is pot cross!

So true and simple her- fell another's faithlessness is inconceivable to er. New Year's day is here, and he has not come. George overtakes her coming home from church, “Isn't it cold and bitter?” she says, Shivering, in such asad and quiet little voice. “Not for winter time, You never used to feel the cold, Phyllis.” “Oh, yes; I always hated winter.” “But you used to run and slide.

It wrings George's true heart to see her so changed, so gently und. patiently bearing her burden He is going to Australia, and constantly goes up to London, making necessary arrange- ments. One March morning, when six weary months have dragged themselves on since that glorious September, she 1s going into the garden to gather the peeping primroses. As she passes the open door of the farmhouse parlor, she is arrested by hearing George’s voice within. She thought he was in London. “Ay, dead,” he is saying, in hushed tones of awe: “dead ‘as a stone.” What is this heavy sinking at her heart? Why should it have to do with her? She pauses, irresolute, a moment, and then, with trembling steps and ghastly, Unreasonable foreboaings, she enters the room, “Poor child!” says her father, for he sees her white, drawn face. “Then you have heard?” “Heard?” she almost gasps. “What, father?” George says, brokenly: “A terrible accident has happened to the nignt train from London— the train I came by—" and he hesitates. “Well?” she says, with desperate calmness. “Go on.” She leans heavily on the table. He turns away his head, that _he may not see her, There were many people burt, and—Mr. Chesney—was killed.” “I knew it!_I knew it?” she cries triumph- antly. “He was coming tome.” A glad light comes on her white face for one moment, and then her sorrow rushes on her, “Arthur,” lowly and sadly, “I shail come to you.” i Ant 1e 1 wi a ery, at strikes terror to both their loving hearts, she falls to the ground.
