rang out, free as the wir:

John Carsten stepped in his door-
way, his trousers tucked in his russes
colored boots, his shirt sleeves rolled
up, showing the strong, sinewy mus-
oles in his arms. His plain, honest
face lit np as he saw her coming.
“John,” said she, at once reaching
the spot, “don’t yo' know there's a

“Humph,” grunted John, sitting flat
on his doorstep. “I don't keer if there

Polly glanced up with clear, langh-

which tempered the air, she drank in
with the thirst of an inebriate.
Inndvertently she bent forward,
stretching forth her san-browned
hands, then locking them they pressed
each other hard against her bosom, as
if to strangle its prayer. Her breast
rose and fell impatient, restless with
labored breathing. The breaking of a
dry twig beneath her feet told Langdon
she was there. With an unwarranted
extravagance which men who smoke
will indulge, he threw away his cigar
and sauntered towards her, saying:
“Miss Polly, do you know
going away to-morrow?”
“Going away—to-morrow? Ah, dear
God, would there were no to-morrow?"
Polly almost let the words escape her,

bear to think of Polly being unhappy
through his instrumentality. He set
his tecth together aud pussed on. But
entering lus door he felt a sense of
weariness, of usvlessness of life, without
{ knowing exactly how to remedy it.
As the autumn came Polly watched
the marigolds and pretty-by-nights die

remain in bloom a long time, Where
