She was a horrible old | woman, in outward aspect, at any | rate. She might have been anywhere | between eighty and a hundred years | of age; she was crooked and shrunk- en, and her wizened features were exactly like those popularly attributed to a witch. And yet she was watering | ber rose trees, with as loving care as upon them. “Poor old lady!” said John Dl’lrham. “To think that people can live to be 80 old as that.” “Do you think she was ever a young and beautiful girl, dearest?” asked Joyce contentedly, nestling down into the fold of her lover's arm. “I guess “he was young all right, but I am sure she never was beauti- ful,” said John. Joyce Lamont and John Durham | had been engaged for three months | and their wedding was to take place that fall. John Durham was a new- comer to Catesville, where he had opened a l!aw office and was already n | securing a fair measure of business, | which gave promise of a comfortable livelihood. As for Joyce—well, if you have ever spent even a week in Cates- | ville you will certainly have heard ! of the Lamonts. one of the first American statesmen in the time of President Buchanan. The death of Joyce’s mother, a few | months before, had Jeft Joyce alone in the old house, to which she had | just returned after several years of absence at school and abroad, and' everybody was glad that she was to | be married, now that she was sole mistress of the manor. Joyce remembered the old woman next door in a vague way. She had gone there to live after the death of Joyce's father, seven years previous: ly. She had not seemed so homely then, so far as Joyce could remember. | But she had not pail much attention to her until she returned home the vear before; then the sight of her old | neighbor had begun to fill her with aversion and horror. “l wish we could pay her to go! away,” she said to John. “She'll spoil “You Know Who That Is, My Dear?” our happiness, just seeing her there. Why sbhould there be ugly things in life, dearest?” Joyce was not unk.nd, but she had always lived among beautiful things. She could not bear ugliness. Her home was superbly beautiful, though simple, and the hall was hung with the portraits of the Lamonts—all handsome, dignified and fine to look upon. Joyce had never dreamed that any human being could grow to look like the old woman next door. She passed along the hall, looking at the portraits. It made her very happy to think she had had ancestors like those—from John Lamont, a colo- nel in Washington's army, to Faunny, her father's beautiful cousin who was supposed to have broken his heart when he was a young man by marry- ing an obscure and worthless French- man, who took her to his own country | and there deserted her, and to her father, the hero of twenty battles and the honored governor of his state. Then the day came when Joyce and | John quarreled. No need to give the cause of lovers' quarrels. They are inevitable; but it iz only when pride Intervenes that they become impor- tant. Both Joyce and John were proud, especially.Joyce. Bitter words | were spoken and more bitter answers given; then came the time when Joyce sent back his ring to John and cried her eyes red that evening on the deserted porch, wis could come everything could be unsaid. Days went by; they slipped into weeks John never came back. Joyce | But she was too | was heartbroken. proud to speak. porch, waiting hopelessly for John to come. At last Ehe determined to go abroad.

Life was not all beautiful, then. Life was not a stroll in a pleasure- garden, but something to be laid hold of before old age came on. Joyce un-| derstood better now.
