People were hurrying along through o1| the blinding snow storm, battling in! with the wind that howled and {moaned out by tirns its story of | woe. i Ilugh Remington and his friend | Williams, glad to be outof the storm { had settled themselves in Sorel The public well cord for, and ail Guests and slippers for a quiet evening tt meeting her on bo home. The shutters were close and the curtains drawn, and on either! sido of the hearth wus placed the favorite chair of each. These friends had lived together in their! bachelor quarters for more than two things were oqually shared. After the evening papers had been read, and aiscussod, the two sat talking of days gone by, of little episodes in their lives. Ilugh was in a talking mood and had told several good stories of his past life; stopping suddenly ho exclaimed: «Did I ever tell you of my love for the widow ?' «No, replied Williams, let have it." «Well," said Hugh, taking anoth- er cigar and looking very serious as he leaned back in his great vasy chair, 'I mot her in Paris.' 'Met who?' -- «Oh, never mind, be content that I tell you the story and don't ask for names. Ithoughtof her as the widow. Itis a sufficient title' «Well, I won't inteirupt you, go on. So Hugh continued : I was calling upon my old friend Mrs. Lee, and while waiting for the servants to take my card, an old piece of bric a brac standing in the worner of the room attracted my at- tention. I got up and went over to examine it. While thus engaged the door opened, 1 turned, think- ing it was Mrs. Liee,when oh! what a beauty met my sight.-~So small that she looked like a child, large deep { blue eyes that came out from under a mass of light golden hair, a small nose and a rosé-bud of a mouth.

I was glad of that as I should then have the pleasure of seeing her again, : The'evening passed only too quick- | t ly, and I arose with an apology for | tones. staying so late. Mrs. Teo invited me to dine with them informally the next day. She said her friend preferred being quiet, so thoy : hould be quite alone. You may bo sure that T accopted the invitation, and was there promptly at the hour. The widow was more charming than on the previous evening. I longed to stop tho hours from rolling. Having been in the habit of dropp- ingin at Mrs. Lee's at all hours, my frequont--almost daily--visits were not noticed as anything strange or unusual. Mrs. Lee thanked me tor coming to them in their loneliness, and the widow gave me one of her sweet smiles, and I was thankful in my inmost heart that they were lonely, and that it fell to my lot to choer them. So the week passed, until the time came for the depar- ture of Mrs. Leo's friend. Now I had intended passing a|S$ month or two in England boforoe re- 1 turning home, but when I found that | the widow was going in ten days, 1 began to think that duty called me back to my business.

'How delightful!' from the widow, Remington, I am so glad! I couldn't bear the idea of my friend going en- | f tively alune, and you of all others will know best how to take care of |i her. + Wo then began plans. Mrs intended making a visit of a fow days to some friends |! in London. I was going direct toi Liverpool. Mrs. Leeand I drove down to see oir friend off, and I|t looked forward to tho pleasure of rd the steamer. saying good bye to old friends, and |i buying presents for sister Nell and the children. I got every nouveaute that I could find and felt well pleas |i cd with my selection At last I was on the steamer and stood look- ing at the ship moving away. By my sido stood the widow, and 1 thought that I had never seen her look solovely. I exulted in the knowledge that she knew no one on board. T was her only friend consequently I should have her all to myself; this gvas (so I said to myself) what [ had for weeks been longing for. Was Lin love? That question had not occurred to me. I folusupremely bappy,"and thought the situation delighttul. I was ready to do anything for this fair creature. She had only to command --1I was all eagerness to obey. 1 soon had opportunities to show my devotion. The following morning I came on deck very curly and Was surprised to find my little lady there. She looked very miserable and very pretty. The morning salutations over, [ asked her how she had slept. I haven't slept at all,' sho said in a fretful childish way that I thought charming. 'Such a noiso all night, I could not get to sleep; and the smells are simply dreadful. I must have another room. I'd rather sit up hero all night than sleep in that horrid place again. Don't you think, Mr. Remington, if you wore to ask the captain or some- body he would give me another room ?' and the big eyes looked up inquiringly into mine. 'Certainly,' I said, *1 will go at once and see about it, and if there is no other, you shall change with me. Take my room which is a good one, and as I don't mind either noise or smells, your room will suit me well enough.' Here Hugh leaned over the back of his chair to knock tho ashes off his cigar, and said to his friend: 'I must have had it pretty bad--oeh, Williams ?--to have said that, Tor you know that I can't endure either 2 bad odor ora loud noise. But I forgot everything whon under the influence of those eyes, and when she exclaimed, , Oh, no, I couldn't lot you do that,' 1 felt that my fate was scaled, and that I should take Coble the amtount, was mine, 1 don't know what I sbould have dono without you, I am not fit to and tell hor of my love; and if she would but let me it wodld be the joy of my life to care for hor. all thie; I am sure I did.
