Abby Fowler, school mistress, stood liefore tiie glass iu the sitting room tying her yellow bonnet string* and prejsiring to attend the wedding. " Vou IK* the first old nnud in our family," observed her grandmother, pall ing down her spectacles from the false front to the bridge of her sharp old IKMM*. "If 1 only had my money back, i could leave it to you. I dare "say vou'il need it yet iWrr rue, them thieves !" Passing .dung the village street, tlie school n.istr.*ss ran the gauntlet of pub lir comment " Abby looks mightv solemn over the weJdm'. Duces she's worry ahe r'fuaxl him," commented Kockybeach, with one voice. The wedding was over, and Abbv Fowler sought her own chamber, and took a Ixuultfox from the ennboard. A faded daguerreotype and packet of let t—rs wore enshrines! in this homely re ceptado. Ah tat*' little consolation even h< re. These 1 eiiea beiongv*d to Albert Marshall, kirer of her youth, who had jilted h-r. At mast sii-- could be f&ith ful to the memory of * U ex dead love. W hilc the captain and his bnde were jaunting away in the stage-coach on their wedding jcornej, Abby Fowler was fight ing hot own I wit tie in her little room. She sat with her eilxiws on the rill of the >.ulow, through which her longing ey as had searched hungrily for a wider jonzoi! many veare She was trying tn face her future bravely: but strive a* sh-- would to paint it in vivid ra, she could finil only pale, neutral jts on the palette of her imagination, rt looked blank euough, certainly. The first bloom of youth, which glori fies tiie pLiinest face, had vanished for ever. A tap on the door disturbed her meditations, and a pale, thin woman entered. "I'm glad to see you, Dorire," said Abby. " Thought I'd just look in," returned Desire. Then then* was silence, Abbv com pre handing that the other's reticence was a delicate expression of sympathy. A quiet, gentle woman, who did the village rlrcss-making, gliding like u sliadow from house to house—by sheer force of •vmtr.ist Abby's meek satellite. " Hopeful has gone to live in Wash ington." . "Well, she slighted as long ago." " She is keeping house for her cousin. .Albert's wife died last year, and he is a Seuab r now, you know." Abby made no reply. Alliert's wife dead ! Albert a Senator! Cruel, de ceitful. lw.se. he had l'u, yet she liked to hear of his prosperity. Her head grew confused, and her face Hushed. " I believe that Hopeful loved Albert herself, and made mischief," pursued Dasire, musingly. " She married, to be sure, and is a widow." "Then the mischief-makers prosper," retorted Abliy. Albert Marshall ws the love of her youth. Over th-* sterner duties of the academy had floated a rosy cloud; flowers found their way slyly between the pages of solemn dictionaries, brown eyes and blue sought each other with a growing, sweet intelligence. Handsome Cousin Hojmful pouted, hut Abby was Albert's sweetheart. Never to lie for gotten tlie day when the young man went to seek his fortune in the West! Sh stood again at the gate beneath the perfumed shade of the lilac bush's, with the hot, dusty road tieyond, and Albert looking back wistfully. * Tlien followed a visit, after the lapse of a year, from a sedate young man, conscious of a lieard, to a demur- maiden, mindful tliat her muslin gown was "done up" for tlie occasion. The visit left her engaged, for Cousin Hopeful no longer watched, 1 laving gone to live iu the West, where she married. Abby's heart was blithe. She aang as she worked, for the future glowed with sunset hues. Then cun u stiff, ambigu ous letter, answered promptly with pride; then a long, sickening silence. What did it mean < It meant that Cousin Hopeful, if not loved herself, would poison the mind of a lover far away. If Albert wonld not marry her, he should not wed Abby. Thus she played with subtle touch on many chord-, and there was growing distrust and auger. A young woman may not journey to the far We.-* to ask her lover what is separat ing them, so Abbv waited. Her lmalthy nature could not fear this ordeal. She fell ill, and the bu*v lif became a blank. When convalescent a letter was plae-.l in her feeble hand—a harsh, mijust letter, taxing Imr with infidelity to her absent lover, and stating tliat if she did not immediately reply, cheating herself, all was over between them. The letter was already ohl, mother luiving laid it away in the family Bible. Abby re sumed her tasks, well aware tliat the crystal goblet of happiness had slip|>cd from her grasp, and by shivered to atoms on the ground. Clear herself from false charges, forsooth ! 1/ Alliert Marshall did not know her nature better, let him take his course. Hho never wrote again, and the next thunderbolt was Albert's marriage—a measure so hasty as to suggest revenge. This was all, and the years rolled on. " C Jme right home along of me, dear. Do ! Squire Scuddcr's sent me a mince pie," urged Desire. Grandmother looked after them with scorn. "There go them two creeturs, comfortin' each other. I don't suppose Desire ever flew in the face of Provi dence as our Abby lias, though." Abby returned from the visit much strengthened in spirit, and retired to read a book from the Rockybeach cir culating library by the light of a private candle. Down in her little house the dress maker, most timid and shrinking of women, was guilty of a bold deed. Hhe wrote to Senator Albert Marshall Her courage oozed, and she left the missive anonymous from sheer terror. It read thus: "If Mr. Marshall will visit his native place again, after so many years of ab sence, lie will never regret it."
