These two were ever at swords’
points. They had quarreled together
since babyhood, and although, up to
this time, each had guarded the secret
jealously from the other, yet it was
evident to most of their friends that
the two were dearer to each other in
their quarrels than many other people
in their friendships,
When the party breakfasted the next
morning Mr, Carlson was already on
his way to the village. It was agreed
thas part of the day should be spent in
preparing a piece for the mock cere.
mony. Miss Thurston was the gayest
of the gay.
In the late afternoon her friends
came to dress her for the wedding,
They draped her in the same flufly,
white dress, which filled out the girlish
white form to the best, coiled the
luxuriant hair around her head, aud
placed a bunch of simple mountain
flowers at her belt, Never before had
she looked so beautiful or so defiant,
A commotion outside the tent an-
nounced Carlson’s return, and Miss
Thurston, surrounded by laughing
friends went out to meet them,
At this moment Mr. Carlson came
up. He, too, was pale, but his eyes
burned with an intense fire,
“Miss Thurston,” he said, “I was in

me, I will yet win your love.”

Arthur back his strength,
