Half au hour ago she would .uve died rather thad tell Letitia she was pietiy, but now she lays many offerings at Ler feet. Poor feet. They uJgbt bsve been burned. "If you will add mt more service to tbe Immeasurable on you bare already dono me," aays she, softly, "you will help me to get my pour child back to the house." "But," begins Hardinge. It seem wrong to him, even at this supreme mo ment, to deceive the old lady to gr intis tbe house under false pretenses. If sbo knew his name. A littlo pressure from the hand of Letitia decides him. How can bo bav scruples when she is to 111 so fright enedf Silently he passes his sr. at around her, and witb her aunt take her back to the house. They lay her on a sofa. Mis Hanbridge flings a rug over her burnt dress. "She must rest hero ajittle before go iug upstairs, " says she. "Miss Hanbridge," says the young man, now turning with determination towards her, "I I wish to say" "Sir, it is what I have to say," aays Miss Hanbridge. with emotion. "I have not half thanked you. How can If If there is anything I can do any way in which I car. show my gratitude to you pray, name it. In the mean time, pray tell mo the name of the brave man whit ha delivered ii y niece from tho very jaws ot death." "Hardinge, say he, shortly. "What!" Miss Hanbridge ha fallen bank in her chair, 'taring nt him with wild eyes. "Yea, Hardinge," says tho young man steadily, if sorrowfully. lie pauses'. "After all," aays he, "I can't help my name." There is n pause; Letitia draw her breath sharply. "That i true," say Mis Hanbridtic, nt last, in a severe un dertone. "I can't help bavin-? had ft grand father, either," says Hardinge, taking anothci step. "No; I suppose not," most reluctantly. "Most fellows Lave grandfathers l" "I cannot contradict you, sir." "Miss Hanbridge," says Hardinge, going closer to her, and gazing at her with nil his heart in bis eyes, "you asked inc just now if thero was nay way in which you cmihl show your gratitudo to me about about this thing. I want no gratitude. I would have, gladly died to ssvo your niece a pang. Hut but you have given me the opportunity to tell you that I want her I I love her. She loves me. Give her to me." "Letitia!" says Miss Hanbridge in a strangt voire. "Oh, yes! It is true," says L.-titia. bursting into tears. "I do love him. I loved him that night at tho Mainwaring and I have loved him better and bet ter every day since." Here her sobs in creasing, "he used to come to see mo in the meadows, where where I was nearly burned !" Whether this allusion to tho late catas trophe, that might have ended iu a tragedy, stills Mis Haubridgc'a wrath, or whether ber old heart has been softened by Hardinge's plain acknowledgment of his love for her niece, no one can tell. She turns to Hardinge, with a palo face, hut not wholly unkindly nir. "1 must have time to think," says she. She hesitates and then says: "This is very painful to me, Mr. Hardinge." It seems certainly painful tocher to pio nounce ,'iis name the name so loo?, tabooed "in her household. "I muUliave time time." 8ho grows silent. Tbe hearts nl the lovers sink. Suddenly she looks up again. "Perhaps you will do mo the honor to dine with roe to-morrow nlghtf aays she. Her tone i icy, but the two listen ing to ber feel their cause is woo. To ask Mr. Hardinge to dine to accept hospitality at her hands! Oh, surely the otd feud is at an end. A little sound en apes from Lctitia. "You arc o'd," fays Miss Haobriduo anxiously, who had thougtit the sound a shiver. "A little," isys Lctitia, who, indeeJ, is shivering from her late fear of what her aunt might say. "I shall fetch unother rug," cried the old lady, running out of tbe room. "An opportunity once lost is never to be regained," says the ancient copy books. Hardiuge and Lctitia make up their minds not to lose theirs. His aims are round her in an iuitaut, her cheek is pressed against bis. "Il is all right. She will give in. I feel as if I loved her," says Hardinge. "Oh! Jack," says Letitia; "wasn't it a good thing I was nearly burued tj death?" "Oh I hush, darling hush. Lofty t I can't bear to thiak of this day." "Well, I can,' says she, laughing feebly. "I shall think of it always. It ha given u to each other forever.'' Philadelphia Timet. The Cares Swallow.
