Conrad Marcy has been playing the gallant to her ever since she has been | here “That is no wonder at all,” Bessie. *‘Did you ever see a more beau ful woman All men are attracted by a handsome face. “‘Oh! as to that, we have as protty girls among us as she, if | am_anything of a judge,” rejoined Nelly, *‘But I think she must have known him before she came to Milford, He visits her very often, know, because 1 live next door and hear them singing together, There is no mistaking Conrad's voice. The walls between our houses are so very thin that one can almost hear them talk ing. “I head yestorday—but hush!- here she comes;” and the last speaker, Marion bent over her work lost in scru tinizing some false stitches in the forma. tion of n pansy. The foregoing conversation took place among a coterie of girls in the corner of a large room bright with the glow of an open fire of anthracite, the heat of which penctrated even to the oriel window in which Milly Vernon, the youngest and prettiest of the Milford maidens had enscenced herself. The apartment was overcrowded with young ladies, who occupied sofas, chairs, otto- mans and, in fact, anything that could be improvised into a seat, for Mrs, Dumont’s art school had become famous, and her sclolars increased in numbers daily. There was a sudden silence as Miss Le- fevre entered and walked across the room, greeting each of her acquaintances with a word and a smile, until she came to the corner where the gossips were sitting. Her entrance caused such a sensation that no one noticed Milly’s agitation pro- duced by the idle words just spoken. Milly's glance inadvertently rested on a ruby ring that Conrad Marcy had slipped upon her finger only two nights before, aying it wasa talisman, the color of which would fade should he cease to love her. Was it really loosing its crimson hue, or did her own fears produce a fan- cied change? No! it was a great tear that had fallen from her eyes upon the surface of the stone; she felt a thrill of joy as she wiped it away and saw the gem's undim- wed brightness, Before Miss Lefevre reached the win- dow where she had detected the presence of Milly with the curtain partially drawn before her, the girl had summongd up cour enough to exchange salutations with her and even looked smilingly into her face as she took a seat beside her and began to speak of the sociable that was to take place at her house that evening. “Icount onyou, Miss Milly,” she said, *“to help me to entertain a young gentlemau from New York, Mr. Chester, the son of a millionaire who has come here in search of a new sensation and, with that end in view,will come to our: ciable. T hope one of our belles will get up a sensation to gratify him; indeed, | do not know of any one better fitted for the purpose than the little lady before me, if she so wills 1t!” Milly felt a choking sensation in her throat,but mastered it and answered with some asperity: “For my part, I do not know of any one better versed in the management of hearts than Miss Lefevre herself; she should try her arts on the gentleman.” “Oh, no;” Miss Lefevre replied. ‘I have other business on hand.” She stop- ped suddenly, while a blush tinged her handsome face, but it was only for a mo- ment, when she resumed with a smile,*I shall certamnly bring him to you first.’ Then, rising from her chair, she went over to Mrs, Dumont for her assistance in the constructionof thedelicate stamens of a white lily, Milly thought over Miss Lefevre's words. Yes, they were sufficient to con- firm all she had heard, and a fecling of jealousy and hate took possession of that mnocent young heart that never before harbored an unkind thought toward any- one. Milly returned home, fled to her cham- ber and threw herself on the bed. She had lnugul for this refuge that she might vive vent to her wounded fec flood of tears, but she had been tc shocked for such a Beside diance of every con m she ten; clung to the belief that there n some mistake, and a generous trust man she loved came back to he was positive there must be some decep- t on about the matter. Conrad had al- ways proved himself the soul of truthand honor, incapable of double-dealing, and Nelly?" he surely had loved her. She blushed and was thrilled as she thought of the past few weeks. Why should she doubt him without more convincing proofs of his guilt/ 1f Mully intended to go tothe sociable that evening it was time for her to be making her toilet. Conrad was to escort her there and had sent her a splendid bouquet tor the occasion. Yes, she would go. Without doubt in the course of the evening she would see enough to convince her either of his truth or falsity. Milly” was as lovely and sweet asa cluster of newly-gathered rosebuds when she descended from the dressing-room to accompany Conrad Marcy to Miss Lefevre's house. The young man gazed at her with admiring eyes and could scarcely refrain from telling ber of all the love for her that was in his heart; but the thought of Miss Lefevre and of the trials that might be in store for her had so transformed Milly's generally impulsive manner, causing an appearance of coldness and reserve, that all the warm feelings of his heart were chilled. They rede along together, exchanging merely a fow commonplace words, und it was a relief to both when they arrived at their desti- nation, Milly found only a few ladies in the dressing-room. Having taken off her wraps, she rearranged whatever was amiss in her dress and, walking to the window, looked out into the clear, starlight night. Her heart was heavy with forebodings, for sho was positive ‘her lover's manner toward her was changed, Tears were fast gatkering in her eyes, when sho heard the rustle of silk upon the stairs and a party of girls broke laughingly into the room, ““Well!"” exclaimed Bessie Bloomfield, “if here isn't Milly Vernon, looking just as lovely as a cluster of tilies-of- the-valley. 1 suppose she intends making uulmuuu:t of our illustrious guest to- ight.” lllly smiled, *‘Oh, no!” ghe answer- od, “I'will leave him to you;” and then sho went out on the lang ng where she heard Conrad’s voice, Ble thuuuht he had come totake her 1o the danciig- room; instead of that, she heard him an. asked_Bessio | " youd them. ’fiu ering Miss Lefevre, who had jnst said Jx » him “Tt was very thoaghtful in you, Mr. Marcy, tascome so early this evening “Am [ not always thoughtful?” he re | plied, so familiarly as he held her hand in his, that Milly voat friendship, if | nothing more, existod between them. “Twill not detain you now from your | visitors,” Conrad went on to say; “‘but I | hope you can find read a letter 1 | have for you. Milly was standing behind them and | could not help seeing Conrad take from his pocket a lotter and place it in Miss | Lefevro's outstrotched hand. She saw the | unmistakable look in her eyes, the quick | blush on her chieek, Milly waited for | nothing more. She felt sick and di range lights danced before her eyes; but, knowing she must compose herself, she struggled for strength to accomplish |it, and the color that d left her face rushed back again. She returned to the dressing-room and, unmindful of Conrad, who was really waiting for her, found an opportunity, under the cover of Judge Mortor broad shoulders and the volum- inous folds of his lady's stiff silk dress, to steal unobserved past him, down into the dancing-room. She felt that the man sho had trusted had proved false to her before her own eyes; but should the world know it and her rival triumph in her discomfiture! No! she would bury it all in her own hart, and none among that careless throng should even suspect she was a slighted woman, Watching her opportunity, Milly took possession of a low seat at the end of a sofa, where she could escape observation and yet command a view of the door at which Conrad stood chatting with Mary Derwent. All the time, T!uwv\'fl‘, he was looking eagerly about as if he were expecting some one to appear. Milly's botter nature assorted itselfas she thought he was surely looking for her and how un- ladylike she had been acting, when she saw Miss Lefevre cross the hall and place her hand on his shoulder. How beautiful she looked with that smile and blush, while the glance she lifted to his face was full of con: muanens “‘Come, sir,” she said to him, ‘“how shall we begin the evening?! Shall I sing, and will you accompany me’ I ani in a very obliging mood to-night.” And again that conscious smile tlashed over each face. 1t is needless to tell how Milly sutfered as she heard her lover's voice blend with that of her rival, or when she saw him bend over her to turn the leaves of her music and whisper soft words in her ear, At last the girl’s heart began to harden; a flush came to her face and she took a sudden resolution. Yes! for the rest of the evening she would be the grayest of v W hy should she wmako herself ble for a man who did not care for her! She would show him that she, too, could forget. time tc |and musician took his seat at the piano, At the first notes of the dance music the gentlemen strolled away in search of partners, and Milly was not sorry when sho saw Miss Lefevre appronching her with mischievous smile on her face, bringing with her the elegant Mr. Ches: ter. There was an evil look in Milly's ¢ as she acknowledged the introduction. She intended to supply the place of her nt lover with this city dandy, for one night at least. The shadows were chased away from her face and a smiling beauty summoned in its stead. Nothing could be lovelier than her appearance as she took Mr. Chester'sarm for a prome- nade before the dancing commenced, Milly’s bright head was seen passing and repassing the open door of the hall, and Mr. Chester stroked his mustache as he listened to her gay conversation, thinking complacently that he had again met with his usual good luck in procuring for his partner the prettiest girl in the room. Little did ho think of the jealousy and rage in her hosom, nor did he see the eager glances she cast into the room be- Milly’s anxiety would not let her re- main long in the hall. Conrad caught sight of her as she entered the parlor, and, starting from his careless position by the piano, hastened to her side. *‘Where have you been all the evening, little woman?” he said: *“I wmissed you at the dressing-room door and have been un- able to find you since until this minute. Milly, have I been 8o unfcrtunate as to oftend you?” *‘Oh, no. The beauty and ¢ Miss Lefevre quite o Milly replied, loo his face with a gay smile, Conrad wondered what could be the matter with his little girl. She had for- saken him entirely, and would not re- ceive any attentions from him. And what could she mean about Miss Lefevre, He both smiled and felt vexed as he thought about it. The musician now struck up a brilliant waltz, and Milly, almost before she knew it, found herzelf whirling round the room, encircled by Mr. Chester’s arm, her white hand on his shoulder, her glowing face turned up to his, and his breath amid her tlowing hair, Conrad stood and looked & moment with folded hands and quiet brow, while Milly’s floating drapery touched him as she swept by. Then, with a sigh, he turned away and hastened to Miss Lef who wel- comed him with a pleasant smile. Milly saw it all and felt her heart grow sick and cold; yet she carried out the pre- grammed with at spirit—danced, ate ices and flirted, scacrely conscious of what she was doing. At last the sociable ended. did not escort Milly to her carri accompany her home, but stood looking on while Mr. Chester carefully adjusted her wraps and kissed her hand as he bade her good night. “How painfully I have been deceived,” thought Convud, as he took his hat to go home. *Milly soemed to me . perfe gem of purity and artlessuess, b Just like all the of the husband- hunting young ladies.

But Miss Lefevre was not coming to seo her that evening: she turned aside from the path and was about to cross fiold in which an_oxcavation had been made under a shelving, rock. 1t could 1ot be seen by any one approaching until onits brink, and a _fall into it would al. What was she to do? who had destroyed her hap- piness was walking wnto the jaws of death, Should she save her? Milly trembled at the wicked thoughts that intruded thom- selves upon her and fled breathlossly s the field, calling loudly to Miss Lefovre, and at last reached her just in time to save her from a terriblo fate. Miss Lefoevre sank in terror to the ground. “You have saved my life, Milly,” she cried, **almost at the risk of your own’—for the poor weak girl was Quite overcome with the exertion she had made—*‘how shall T ever repay you? | owe you a great debt, greater than you can imagine, for life is very swoet to me now 1 donot ask me why.

Milly’s life for nothing, and Conrad’s, too, poor fellow! Well, Ican reward her now and restore her lover to her. They both shall be happy at last.” Milly did not sutfer much longer. The following Sunday, as she was returnin; from church, she saw Miss Lefevre an Conrad walking along engaged in close conversation a short distance before her. She saw them approach Miss Lefevre's louse, open a gato and walk up the path- way, when a tall, handsome man started up from a chair on the porch and rushed down the steps to meet them. She saw this man clasp Miss Lefevre in his arms and extend a hand in a_brotherly greet- ing to Conrad. Then the strange truth flashed upon Milly that it was the story of this lover that Miss Lefevre was going to tell her on the day of the rescue. Oh! how foolish she had been! She thought of her hasty suspicions angd blind jeal- ousy. She had thrown away her happi- ness with her own hands. She could e no fault in Cor now. All her troubles had arigen from her own misera- ble folly. ; That afternoon the complication was fully explained. Miss Lefeyre’s lover was Conrad’s dearest friend. The be trothed couple had had many difficulties to contend with during their long engago- ment, and these Conrad had been instru- mental in arranging, hence his intimacy with Miss Lefevre, “*And now, little Milly, have you no words of affection for me after this long, dreary silence?’ said Conrad, when all had been explained. “Will you forgive me, dear Conrad! You know I never cared for Mr, Chester, do you not?" Conrad looked down into her upturned face, wet with tears, 1 was more to blume than you dear,” said he. ‘Do not let us speak of it any more. Milly put up her tempting lips to be kissed, and there was no need of words to tell that she and Conrad had at last | found all the peace and happiness that love can bri COUNCIL BLUFFS.
