Tha: evening Dr. In the restful aistol the June even- ing, Margaret Vane and young Dr. Leigh stood under the blossoming sweetbriar by the gate and talked together: His words were low and full of tehder accents, and Margaret smiled to hear the pretty things he was raying, and let him hold her hand as lovers like to do: For they were lov- ers.. Dr. Leigh had come to Danforth six months before, and almost the first young young woman whose . acquaintance he formed was Margaret Vane. From the first she attracted him: There was some- thing out of the common about her--some- thing more refined and womanly than about most young: women he knew. From the first insight he got into her home, life he knew she was not happy. Her father was dead, and her stepmother was a fretfil, indoler t woman, who shift- ed the care of the four headstrong, un- ruly children upon her stepdauglitet's shoulders. After his first call at Margaret's home, young Dr. Leigh came often, and Mar: garet learned to look for his coming with pleasure which she could not conceal. Her life was so narrow, so hedged in by cares and perplexities, and so destitute of the things which she most coveted, that | Dr. Leigh's visits were the pleasantest, | hours she knew, and she looked forward to shem with a sense of rest and relief. When he asked her to be his wife she did not hesitate long in giving him her an- swer. Her present life was so barren of | beauty and brightness that any other seemed welcome in comparison with it. And then she loved Dr. Leigh. 1f she had not she would never have covsented to become his wife. She had tod strict ideas of truth and honor to become the unloving wife of any man. ¢ Lucy is coming here to-morrow,' she #aid, as they stood thare at the gate.| ¢ You have never seen her: Come and get acquainted.' ¢[ will do so," he answered. 'From what I have heard of her, I expect to see a paragon of female beauty and actom- plishments ' ¢ Lucyfis pretty,' she replied. 'You have not any idea how plain I appear be- side her.' * You are precty enough for me,' Dr. Leigh said, gallantly, bredking off a branch of half-blown buds and winding them in among hér brown hair. She was not unattractive, and yet she was what most people would have called plain. The only real handsome feature which her face possessed was her eyes. They were brewn and deep, and full of thoughtful shadows, which shifted and became luminous when she was pleased and interested. ¢ It was worth a grest deal, just for the sake of seeing your eyes smile," Dr. Leigh said running his fingers through her hair in a tender, caressing way. 'You havn't sny idea how beautifully they light up. I have seen little pools of water in the woods shaded by ferns and bushes ; by and by the wind would blow the ferns aside, and the sunshine would dive down into the little pools, and they would flash and sparkle, and fairly seem to' laugh and talk.

' You are not jealous already, are your' he asked. ' No, not exactly jealous; but----,' she hesitated, and then, with a sudden shadow coming in her face, she added-- 'I've always had to give up the good things of life to Lucy, and I don't want her to steal my lover away ; and if she snould happen to take a fancy to you, she would want me to put aside my claim. I don't know what put the idea into my head, but it came there just them that Lucy would try to win you away from me.' 'What a foolish girl' he eried. 'What do I care for anyone but you! Hawn't I promised to be your own true loverall my life, little Daisy? And, after loving you; should I love anyone else P~ Dr. Lisigh laiighed softly, as he put his iand under her chin; and lifted her face Leigh called. Lucy was in the parlor playing when he came in.

Had she not lost the sweetest thing of life--- love! It had died, and now it was to her buts memory. Before a month had gone by Dr. Leigh and Lucy were engay- ed, and in October they were miarried. After that evening, wheu she gave him back his ring and his freedom, a change came to Margdret. She began td see Dr: Leigh in some thing of his true character-- weak, changeable, irresolute, and she asked herself, after the first bitterness of giving up her drésmss dnd lidpes wdre away, if it had not happend for the all. She wanted some one who would be true and faithful, stedfast and unchangs- able. Wad Leigh sich s man?

And 'when her fretful faul:-find- ings sounded in his ear, and her wesk complainings wearied him, he thought of Margaret, and knew what he had lost. Years have gone by since then, Mar- garet is Margaret Vane still.
