Sa Neat her, toclining on a low, easy chair, sat & young girl about her own age. At first glenc the exquis ite soul loveliness of her faco paled in Miss Ame's, more brilliant beauty, but there were more to love its pos- sesso, agd afow to envy her. Some- thing like indignation was in her voice, as she addressed her friend. 1 cannot beleive that you mean it Lillian, she said. You have been engaged to Oscar Dering a yenr, and how can you say so carelessly that your engagement shall be brokéen-- Beg pardon | interrupted the other in low, ironical tonos. I give my pledge. Ob, but Lillian, becauso ho has lost titlo and estato must he also lose the woman of his love? Think a moniont. You surely will not give him up so easily. Nonsense, Edith! I am twenty- one--no longer a child of an age to live upon sentimentalism, but to look upon the every-day realities of life. When I engaged myself to Lord Dering, I was tho subject of congratulation among all my friends Now that the cousin who was . sup- posed to bo dead crops into life in somo romoto portion of the globe, and that Oscor insists upon renounc- ing the property in his behalf with- out even a striggle,T am not content to lot these same congratulations lapse into pity. Ob, Lillian do you think any "one could pity you for possessing £0 royal a gift as the love of such a man ? Think better of it, dear. I know you care for him. Do not 30 dightly renounce your life's happiness. You plead his cause eloquently my dear. Really, I did not know I pos- sossed a rival in my fair cousin. Perhaps a heart caught in the re- bound --you know the rest, of course land can point the moral. Lillian you are cruel--cruel! 'T-- But the last speaker had passed through the open window out of hearing, and advanced to moet a man quickly approaching on tho veon sward, while the young girl left behind fell back in her chair, the great tears coursing down her checks on which the crimson signal flam- ed. . It was as though some ruthless hand had snatched the veil from ber own heart, leaving exposed its most cherished sooret--a secret sho had not known herself until now betray- ed_by his shame. I must leave this place. I cannot moet him again. I must go home ! But oh | how can she givo him up? Fdith Loring and Lillian Ames wore cousins but the one was the daughter of a eclorgyman whose rectory was some ten miles distant from Ames Court, one of the noblest estates of England, and of which Lillian was solo heiress. The girls, however, had been closely, united, more by the tie of friendship, thin gousinship, since tho latter was a distant bond, and Ames Court was almost as much Edith's home as ber own now, how- ever the homelior charms of the roctory were very gratoful to her. Hore no one could probe the discov ery 80 new to herself--to trace the scarlet blush which seemed so often to burn her cheek, until she won- dored thatit did not leave its brand, ,She had béen home six weeks, and twice Oscar Dering had ridden over to see her, but she had always denied 'her self to him on some household protext, until this morning he over took her iri the road. | Sho had been with busy thoughts of him, wondering how he has borne his ruptured troth, and reproaching herself for the cowardice which here- tofore had forbidden her to meet him when she heard behind ber a quick tramp of horse's hoofs. His rider drew refn at her side. ) \ to find you at last, he 'So Iam lL EA pt np eid Tis voice sounded tho same as of old--the tight cheery tones was un- changéd: Ho was not broken-heart- Have od then; or at least he didmot wear ; i | that criolly used portion of his body | upon Don't pity me, ho interupted, I can't bear that quite yet. . 1 did not fneax to pity you, she roplied. i And then | into other ¢ ; Ob, it Lillian had not spoken of the heart caught in tho rebound, she thought when week after week Oscar Dering "would find his way to the rectory ghrdon, or rectory parlor, to spend 1ougbhours with its fair mistress. i " She understood so well why he came because how and then Lillian's name drifted into the idle talk, because as ho grew stronger, he dared to speak of her and the love he bad borne her. It was a mingled pain and pleasure to listen. If only she had not learned her own heart, tho pain would have been less. But she was destined to learn it more fatally yet, as, one morning, strolling through the woods together, the sharp report of a hunter's gun close beside them started them both. The next in- stant her companion sank white and senseless on tho sward beside her, while the affrighted hunter, whose misaimed charge had entered his arm, hastened forward. Bring assistance, quickly! ex. claimed Edith, while sho raised the hoavy head to her lap. Oscar, speak to me! sho moaned. Oscar, Oscar! Over and over again she repeated his name in the same accents of dis- pairing love until they seemed te force their way into the life pulses of his being, and roused them to activity: He opened hiseyos with a half wandering look, as though delirium must have overtaken hii: At this instant tbe hunter return- ed with assistance, and a half hour later the wounded man bad been born to tho rectory, the wound dressed and the knowledge given that it was merely a flesh hurt, pain- ful but not dangerous; yet his re- covery was a tedious affair: He grow moody and abstracted. It gave him more time to think of Lillian and his loss, Rdith thought, even while she wondered why his eyes followed hor with such a strange questioning look, Once she entercd his room with some freshly cut flowers in hor hard. Where shall I put them, Mr. Der- ing sho questioned. Mr. Dering ? be answered. Did 1 not once hear you call me Oscar ?-- Or was it some sweet fancy wafted from "dream-land ? Again the crimson tide dyed her face. ' Dou't she said, as though it burt her, and hastened from the room, bearing with her the flowers, and it soomed to him the light and sun- shine, He had been blind all this time dnd he was just beginning to see? A grand ball was to be given at Ames Court, at which Lillian in- sisted that Edith should be present. The invalid was fully recovered now and he, too, was summoned to the feast. : Miss Ames had plunged into con stant gaiety since the breaking of her engagement to Oscar Doring, butit bad all failed to fill the empty place in her heart. ' On tho evening of the ball she picked up tho paper sent down by the afternoon's mail from London. Glancing idly over its pages, she suddenly started at secing the name of the man to whom she bad so lately boen betrothed. : 1t was a published dicision of the court that, owing to_some disability the title could not descond to Oscar Dering's cousin but together with the estates must remain in bis pos- sion. 5 ] He was, then, Lord "Dering still Fool thatshe had been. But the decision had been made public but a fow hours, He would never dream of the accident that had brought it to her knowledge. Tonight while ho, still thought ber ignorant, ghe must win him back.
