Slio wai a henutlftil clrl; nnd 1 hud thought lir an good and as pure as she was beautiful; and further than this, I had believed blin lovrtl mo. She was an orphan, nnd was teaching ono of our village schools. Of her early llfo I had known noth ing, save that slio had been well edu cated, nnd bad moved In good society, and 1 had reason to believe that at some time her parents had been wealthy; but her father had failed in business; and It !wl been Mild that the sad reverse had killed 1.1 in . Mary was poor was de. pendent upon her daily labor for sup pott and the thought that I could offer her a comfotttible home, with the advantage of nimlerato wetillh, had giv en increa-e to my prospective happi ness, Hut this unexpected answer had dashed nil my hopes to tho ground. 'Do you mean," I cried velittnently, "Hint jou dismiss mi? Am I cast oil?" ' "I canuot bo your wife" slio replied. "Then." salil I with morn warmth Ahan 1 might have dlsplajed under other clicuinstances "1 leave you to jour s.elf, and while I btrivo lo sliaUti off tlio lovo that lias bound mo to you, I will only hope that eru yon lead another; into j our net, yon will keep him alter you have caught hltnl" Shu gar.ed upon my face with a pain ful, ftlghtciicd look; but I did nut stn. to hear her speak.

Thato was an aching void -in my hearf, and I fairly wept as I contemplated toy hiss. It wns my love, nnd its'inlluence had pel meated every libre of my being. The beautiful girl had become- more dear to i;io than I could tell, and I gioiim-d in bitter anguish when I thought that she was lost tome forever. I hail resolved that I would feel very ungry and )ndigu;nt; but when the sweit (nee was called up to mental view, sitcji feelings metei) anay, leav ing u:e .sad aud desolate. On the following Sabbath I attended chinch, wheio I saw Mary oucu more. She played the organ as she bad done lor jenrs past, nuJ as her lingers snept over the keys I I'liucisd that J could de tect tremulousnces wlileh I had never noticed before. Was it only my im agination, or was tliero really a plain tivuness, a sadness in tho expression of her music? to inu it seemed as though, at Huns, the oignn groaned and wept. It was like a walling of tho daughter of Zlou by tho rl.crs of Dubylon. When the services were over, and wo woat nut from tho chuich, I saw Mary's face, it was us palo and wan, as though she had been sick. What could It be? Was she suffcting as I suffered tho thought Hushed upon me that so mo ono had been Idling her something to my disad vantage. 1 had enemies In tlio village - enemies who envied tne because 1 had Inlieiited soiuu wealth and I fancied, i netnles who envied mo the love of Mary Grant ll!o. Another week psssed. I could not read, lor my mind was never upon the page before me. Another Sabbath at tho church and I saw Mary again. It scemtd to mo that slio was paler than befoie, nndlier eyes looked as though shu had been weeping. During the succeeding week I re cehed a visit from my old college chum, Jack Stanton, who had just opened a lawoP.lcelu Ueriyvllle. After supper, B3 we fat In my coy parlor smoking ourclgars, I suggested a bottle of wlue. Jack ahook his head. "N'o, Charley," ho said, "we'll leave the wine for lhoe who need It." "You ue.l to drink, Jack." "Yes; but it never did nut any good." "Aud do jou think it overdid jou any harm?" "As for that I will not say; but I will tell you what I can say; It never shall do mo any harm! I know it has harmed others who were as strong as 1 am. Dy the way, Charley Isu't Mary Granville here." "Yes," said I. "Do yoji know Iter?" I turned away my lace and pretended that 1 heaid something at the window. "I have 6een her" I replied, wheu I had composed in j self. ' She plays the organ In our church." "Shu aud were schoolmates." pur sued Stauton, "aud speaking of wjne brings her lo my mind. Do you know auylhing of her eaily life?" "Nothing," I nuswered.

If you know her Charley, you know of ono the grandest women that ever lived. Dut what Is Iho mattei? Why bless me you look as pale us n ghost." I struggled Willi myself, and told Jack I had swallowed a lot cf cigar smoke. I nrojc and opened ono of tho casements, aud stepped out upon the balcony, where the fresh air partially restored me to my foitucr self. At nMato hour Jack depai led for the hotel, and when I hail retired to my chamber I paced too mid fro until long past midnight.

On Friday Jack Stanton left me, nnd on Saturday evening I called at Mary's boaidlng place. Mary herself answered my summons.

Sho did not free het hands; but she gazed up eagerly In my face, and her eyes beamed with a hopeful light. "You know John Stauton?" I saiJ. 'Yej," she replied. "Do was my best friend while at college, and our friendship has not grown less.
