Mangle had consented to share life
with him, though slm could not herself
hare told what Influenced her. Aunt
Anna wished It exceedingly, and was
more Jubilant over thu engagement
then either of the parties conceined.
She was a woman of discrimination,
and she should feel pildo in speaking of
".My nephew, Joliu Martin," belore
many years were past. And, betides,
she lelt that John would be a sort of
balance-wheel for Maggie's unsettled
purposes in life.
Muggle.though alio tried hard to keep
It to herself, was veiy far from being
satisfied. She was Just as Unit stage of
existence when one docs not know what
onu wants. She had read hosts of nv
mantes, and the heioes were always

plexions tttongly suggestive of dyspep.
bin, and locks " black as tho raven's
wing." Moreover, they always man
aged to rescue the heroine from some
dreadful danger Invariably appearlcg
upon tho tcene ut Just the critical mo
ment, and never falling in the attempt,
no matter how desperate it was.
John Martiu had liubtbrown hair
and blue eyes and fair skill, mid he had
never saved Maggie from any danger
nioro than wet feet by carrying her
across some mud-hole, in all his life.
So that you may readily sea that ho
was no hero, nnd Maggio did so long to
meet a real hero, If John Martin had
known anything of tho condition of lier
mind, and It ho had a grain of senso
but men in love at bis age uever have
ho would have gone ofT nnd left her
to herself until sho found out her own
hcart,but Instead of that bo pressed bis
suit with ador, and bound her with a
promise.
Now he wa& going to a western city
on a business engagement which would
occupy him until December, and at
Christmas they vero to bo married.
Maggie went Into tho house, after
paitlng with John, full of a vague sense
of telle!, though entering conscious
that she ought to be very blue, and
perhaps Kheil a low leal, nut then,
people do not do what they otiubt to,
and Maggie, Instead of Indulging In n
good cry.sat down and went to making
pink ribbon roses to wpar in her hair
to the pic-nic at Shli ley's grovo tho
next day.
At that Ramo plc-nlc Maggio met Vic
tor Burton, a young nrtUt from Now
York, who had conin to tho country for
his health and to lake sketches. Ho
bonided nt the widow McDonald's about
half a tnllo iinm Aunt Atinn's
Mnggin had strolled away from tho
others of the party, and wns just cross
ing the, brook on a slippery log, when
Mr. Hurton's dog, Fidn, sprang out of
tho thicket and howled at her. Maoslo
screamed and fell Into the water. It
was not inoio than eight or ten Inches
deep, so there wns no great danger of
her drowning. Hut Mr. Hurtoii lenped
forwaid as though he thought there
might be, and brouglf her safoly to
shore. Of eourso she was very grate
ful, and It was just like n novel, if only
the water had been n little deeper j but
that was not Mr. Hurton's fault, t.nd
surely bo had done his part to perfeo
tlon.
Maggio was sure that her brro had
come, liut, nlast he had tnado his np
pearance too late. Sho was pledged to
nnother.
Well, the? met after this dnlly. Mr.
llurton wns nlways coming over to
sketch theliiko just behind Aunt Anna's
cottage, and it took sucli a long tlmo to
accomplish it, and lie bad to ak .Waga
gle's opinion so frequently, that the
summer slipped by, and it was the last
of Aucust, and the sketches weio quite
as far from completion as over.
Meanwhile the old story had been
told, and Maggie know herself beloved
by this man who sho fancied filled her
heart to tho exclusion of every other
Imago. She confessed to him her en
gagement, a'td with his sanction wrote
John a brief littlo note explaining to
him how It was that sho desired to bo
released.
In duo time tho nnswor enmo back.
John wroto very kindly almost too
kindly to please Maggie, lie had not
loved her much, she said poutingly,clso
ho would have telt more nt giving her
up. He was glad that sho bad such a
beautiful piospect for happiness, ho
wroto j that would help him to bear bis
disappointment. He hoped sho would
be blessed in Iho elioicd sho had made,
and slm must con-ililor him as her fi lend
always,
Mauglo went off to her chambpr and
cried ovet tho letter; It was so cold, she
Mild, and lie had pretended to earo so
nitieh for her. The silly little gooso,
would doubtless Imvo he.cn much better
pleased if John had spoken of suicide,
and tliscimroed largely ot poison, pistols,
mul homp.
In September, Victor left Chelms
ford, "'hey had a very affectlonato
leave-taking. Maggio (irmly believed
she should dlo if she did not see Victor
every day j as for Victor, ho looked
quite lean and hollow-eyed, when ho
mounted the stago coach to begin his
journey, the next morning, lie pro'
mised to write twice a week, which was
modest considering the fervor of their
lovo.
For three or four weeks be kept his
promise, andjiis letters raised Maggio
to the seventh heaven; but by-nud-by
thu thing got old, nnd it was irksome to
be always writing letters, even to her.
At a time it came to pass that weeks
went by, nod the girl did not bear from
him. Before the end of Fobruaiy ho
ceased wilting altogether, and there
was a blank until May.
Maggio was proud, nnd scorned to
ask an explanation. Llfo was void and
dull to her, but she bore her pain silent
ly. John Martin was in New Orleans,
nnd said nothing In his letters to his
bister who was his only relative, about
returning home.
Or.o day toward the closo of May,
Maggie read the notice of Victor Hur
ton's iiiiUTlage to Miss lattice Stan
hope, She read it twice before she
seemed to realize the meaning ot the
printed words. Sho had heard of Miss
Stanhope, a beautiful, wealthy young
lady, and the ward of Victor's father.
Aunt Anna found Maggio lying on
the carpet with tho paper clutched in
her hand, but to all her cries and en
treaties the poor little girl returned no
answer. For days she lay in tlrnt
dreadful stupor ao closely resembling
death, and when there was a change it
was to the wild delirium of fever, It
was August beforo she was able to go
nut, and few would have recogubed
the beautiful, light-hearted girl, Maggie,
in tho pr.le-faced, sad-eyed woman who
went so sadly about the cottage,
A month latter there was nnother
notlco In the weekly paper the bame
paper which had contained the mar
rlage notlco the death of Lettlce the
wife of Victor Iiuiton. Thrown from
a carriage and died of injuries received.
It wag very soon but be excused
himself by one of tho many sophistries
which men in Ills position ue that
Victor cuno to Chelttiiford. 1 think
it was no later than the middle of No
vember, lie sought Maggie, ami told
over to her again the same story be had
made so sweet to her ears In the sum
mer that was a year gone. Ho had
loved only heraiways. Pecuniary em
barrassment had forced him to tako a
rich wife, but Ids heart had never wan
dered from Its allegiance to Maggie.
And when a proper time had elapsed,,
l.e wanted her for his wife.
Maggie listened quietly until he had
finished, then she put away tho hand
that would have takcu bets, and. said
coldly s
" My lovo for yon died long ago. I
know my heart now, nnd yon hnvo 110
place tliern. do nnd leave, tun,"
Ho culrpati'd, nnd roaxod, nrd got
anmy, nnd he left him to himself. A
week aftpr he sailed for Ausliilla.
It was December again the night
beforo Christmas. Maggio was lying
on tho sofa hefora the slttlng-ronm lire,
kept there bv ono of thosn wretched
beadnehes which seem to bothee$ppclal
birthright of some women. Aunt Anna
was nwny, and Bridget, the housemaid,
busy with her lover in tho kitchen.
Tho slttlne-ronni door opened softly,
and some one ramo in. Maggie did
not look up ; she thought it wns Aunt
Anna.
Hut Instead, It wns John Martin, lie
had returned only tho day bofore, nnd
had come to pay Ills respects nt the cot
tnce. Ho had intended to be very
friendly nnd dignified, but the sight of
the flushed faco on tho sofn-plllow
softened him nt orco.
" Whnt is tho matter? Are you ill?"
ho nsked, never thinking how strangely
It would sound to greet Magclo thus
after juch a long absence. Swift as
light she opened her eyes and looked
at him, nnd then she did the silliest
tiling In the world ; sho hid her faco
nnd began to cry. Sho would not have
dono so for a thousand dollars If sho
could have helped It, but, somehow.she
could not seem to help it.
John looked on in amazoment.
" Why, Mngglo I my dear little Mng
glel" ho exclaimed, unconsciously,
perhaps adopting the old phraseology,
" what in the world Is the matter 7"
And Maggie, for a reply, only ciled
the harder. John knelt down and
lifted up the bowed head until lie could
look into tho shrinking oyes. Some
tiling tint lie read theru changed won
derfully his countenance, nnd made
him bold and confident. Ho clasped
her close to his heart and kissed her
puakered up little mouth, and flushed,
contorted forehead.
' Maggio my darling, are yon glad
to seo me? And going to bo what I
want? Shall wo blot out tho time of
my absence, and go back to that sweet
May night, when I thought tho earth
was hardly largo enough to hold tho
happiness which tho assurance of your
love gave me ?"
"Oh, John I" she cried, clasping her
twonrms tight about ids neck. " I
never loved anybody butyoul I thought
I lid, but I didn't ; and, oh John, will
you ever forgive ine?"
" I did that long ago, dearest," and
directly Maggie forgot her headache,
and the paid and unrest weut out of
her Iiei.rt forever.
