But, after all there were plenty of wild roses, as Capt. Hallet said, and presently she forgot her sympathy and its cause, Another turning in the lane brough@ them to the village outskirts and to Sqéire Al- len’s gate, where the rest of party were waiting, There were good-Byes to make. Mrs. Allen was intent on secur. ing to each person his or her own air of relief, disregarding the drowsy protest which she uttured, “What a lovely rose Stephen!” said some of the girls. “Where did you get it?” “In the road,” replied Stephen. “Somebody had switched it off its stem and left it to die, so we picked it up.” “Yes, and Mr, Felton sald it was a shame to treat flowers 80,”’ put in a lit- tie boy, The captain listened impassively, but Milly gave a half-pained glance at the flower, ‘“That was just like you, Step- hen,” she said, very softly, and Stephen brightened for the first time that day. It seemed to Stephen, looking back, that his love for Milly had begun when he was a boy of five and she a baby in the cradle. time when he did not prefer her to all other girls. At school he was her knight; his sled, Lis jack-knife, his help always at her services, Stephen taught her to skate, and row.

Letters came and went; the between fell to the ground in pale heaps: then came snow and the winter, to be in turn New England spring. Still Milly wait- ters came less regularly thanat first, By Weeks passed without a word, Milly, with visions of yellow fever and Indians chas- ing each other across her brain, wrote and wrote again, but had no idea of the real danger which threatened her until her eyes: “At Galveston, Texas, by the Rev, Thomas Dix, Capt.

No cards.” Mrs. Graves up stairs heard no sound, but when she went down Milly lay on the sofa white and rigid, the newspaper still clasped in her cold fingers, It was long before her senses came back, Her mother flamed with anger, but the girl hushed her with a weary sob. “We were never really engaged, you know.” “Not engaged! Oh Milly!” But Milly turned her face to the wall, and said no more. Baymouth was stirred to its depths next day by the news that Capt.

Buddenly a spasm passed over her face, she gave a gasp, turned aside, and struggled for composure, Stephen dropped the flowers as if they burned his fingers, and hurried out of the room. A.hot anger shot through him. *‘He has ruined everything for her,” be thought, “Even a rose re- minds her of him, coward that he is, They hang one for poisoning water springs, why not hang him? though hanging is too good for such a villain as he.” Nature’s processes of cure are secret it is 1n their depths that wounds begin to heal, Gradually, as months went by, the She resumed her place at home, the lit. tle duties and pleasures, and took still, but the paleness infolded serenity which was no less “Milly Graves was really since her disappointment,’ vere old ladles asserted, ane tf 1 orbit t i v not far from right.
