One might almost think you were about to decide the fate of a nation Ob aunty not quite so bad as that I am only trying to assist Fate maybe in her in case of a few dear friends of mine I am Just fixing some pieces of wedding cake for girl to dream on writing the names of seven that is the magic number of this affair seven young men to put round each piece I have enough left or another Aunty let me fix this for you to dream on No no love my dreams of that kind were over long ago My dreams of love are sadly oer Annie sang and the merry reply she was going to make was stopped Annie hardly knew why by a soft sigh that reached ear and caused her to raise her Aunt Amys face Although no longer young it was still very fair to look upon and traces of great beauty still remained There was a depth of pathos in the dark violet eyes that told Annie very plainly Aunt Amy had a story of ber own and perhaps she might win it from her She had wondered why her J aunt had never married She had heard of her many admirer in years passed- She knew of more than one now who only waited an encouraging smite to place heart and hand before her Aunt Amy was veiling her eyes with their beautiful dark lashes when Annie stole quietly to her side and passing her arms caressingly around the slight form pressed her bloom ing cheek to the pale one and Aunty tell your little girl why your dreams were over years ago Why you little tease that I might live an old maid to take care of a very wild little bird that calls me aunty I suppose What would such little ones do without an old maid aunty I wonder No no aunty you cannot laugh me off so and you are forcing this merry mood Besides I heard Dr Mason say yesterday he truly be lieved there was never a Gill but had her Jack waiting somewhere to go up or down the bill her And you answered Yes j you truly believed it was so Now after that aunty you cannot deny your Tack Do tell me Annie last evening when you were woirying and teasing Carl so about that picture I seemed to be living over these bygone days you reminded me so much of my own fully Then I made up mind to tell you a little story as a warning Bui to day I from unravelling Ihcpast Still I ought And so to your J tell me first did you destroy Richies picture or promise to send it back No indeed I did not Neither the one nor the other It is all non sense in Carl He ought to have more confidence in me He ought to know if I loved Richie I would not have consented to become his He is too jealous A sweet time I shall have if I do not cure before belong to him The idea of not being allowed to keep a friends pouted Annie Annie you have made so much of the picture showing it and de claring it to be the handsomest pic ture you ever saw Yes my dear and you were almost beyond the bounds of maiden modesty I think when you pressed the picture of any man other than a very near and dear relative to your lips and that in pres ence of your betrothed I am sorry to you dear but I blushed for you then Oh aunty I was only in fun just to tease Carl when he said he would destroy it or I should send it And how did it end Ob he went off very indignant saying if I preferred the picture to his I could keep It Annie an swered with flashing eyes adding with a smile of conscious power But he will come back this evening and be loving enough Suppose he should not Oh but he wilL He could not stay away Annie you are very confident of So I was once Oh a joke my lover left me never to re turn I could not suppose it possible that he would not come the next eveafpg Yean have passed of them yet the evening to bring him back has never come to me I am thirtyfive now Annie But still young and beautiful enough to win the love that might brighten and make happy years to cyme aunty My dear no other love can ever fill my heart would not wrong an other by to him love so wounded and crushed as mine An nie when just your age I won a love which made me supremely happy I was an only daughter the de ration of parents brothers had somewhat spoiled I feat a merry funloving girl yourself yet loving with her whole heart the noble earnest man who sought to make me bis Although there was no time fixed felt sure at no very distant day should be Henry Hey- wife Since was fifteen I had worn con stantly around my neck a chain hold a locket given me that I first knew Henry he used to tease me about it once asking ms if it contained the likeness Or of some loved one As seriously and truthfully I answered Both the likeness and hair of one Very dear or lady and I saw greater anxiety than cared to show whfn I replied I you a gentleman young and sides if I should show you Frequently after this when grew more intimate he would SpeAk of the locket and beg to it But I would neither explain nor permit him to Open it I had something to tease him with and I wanted to keep it The day he put an ring on my finger be said Now my you will away that old love the locket and I will give- you another to wear Oh no indeed I never can do that But I can wear yours too Besides it is not an old love I will let you seenow to prove Aud opening the locVer dis played a face of wondrous beauty too delicate perhaps to called a handsome The lieutenant uniform In which the picture was caused Hair start I suppose the reason I have not been honored with the acquaintance of this young gentleman is his being at sea probably Were you ever gaged lo him Amy Never engaged I answered with a provoking emphasis on the last word but adding directly J Oh never mind about it The one who gave me this will never trouble you nor be any more to me now This seemed to reassure him And for several months we were oh so very happy The demon of jealousy slumbered But there came a terrible awakening of it and to me One evening after we had been engaged about six months Harry entered the parlor unannounced and found me reading a tetter just re ceived from a dear friend As he drew near I made a show of hiding it from him The spirit of tantalising possessed me 1 saw he was worried and when he asked- Who is your letter from Amy A friend I answered in an em barrassed tone The friend whose picture you still wear His voice was so changed so stern 1 have ber n warned of the coming danger But no I was possessed and went on replying Yes from the same I dared not raise ray eyes to see the effect of my cruel words Oh aunty how could you tell him so Of course it was not so Yes Annie it was true the let ter was from the friend whose pic ture wove On aunty could not believe this of you As bad as I am I would never wear the likeness of one man nor correspond with one when the promised wife of another would I my dear But I did almost as badly I let my lover fear this wrong of me Nor did I give he explanation even when e said Amy these doubts are terrible You must tell what this man Is to you You must put an end to this affair Yes I must have this promise or I shall bid you fare well forever did not believe he could or would do this My tempter urged me on to try a little longer and so I answered only I cannot do it Taking his hat he left the house without another word Annie I have never heard one word from his lips since I believed he would come next day but I was disappointed A week passed and yet he came not just then my cousin a midshipman came home from sea We had been almost raised together intimate from childhood so during his visit we were much together One day while walking we came face to face with Harry I longed to place my hand in his and explain all I be lieve I should have then had not a look of withering scorn met my gaze That evening I received a note re questing return of bit letters and picture Accompanying It was my own picture the little I bad given him and all my letters A few days after I saw by the be had sailed for the West I have never heard of him since Oh aunty how terrible I think I should die if Carl left me so But of the other whose picture you wore Did you aver love Annie my child I have thought you might have guessed I wore no mans picture It picture of my dearest friend ana schoolmate Dollie taken tn an officers dress which she wore your So was once when acting in charades yes too confident And for as slight while we were atachoot For piece of fun she gave it to me to tease the beau she said and made roc promise to wear It always You see dear now the coil of a joke my child do not try Cujfc love too severely Indeed no aunty Bless dear heart III have him back to night j and there Is no lime to lose either Annie ran away to return in fifteen holding the following note for anoty to read looking oior my Assk days slope I Thinking you baro so a Mod to yd a for lowly what love ywrs imwra tha both yoor Atom Now aunty I shall enclose this in a note to Carl asking him to mall it on his way here A few months after this the even ing before Annies wedding she sat with her head in Aunt Amys lap You seem very happy my dar ling Oh aunty should be so but for one thing the shadow on life You have been the only mother I ever knew and it hurls trie to leave so lonely Brer since you told sorrow I have prayed Father to
