Shall I In slnmber steep each Weary sense,

Shall love for theo lay on my soul the sin
Of casting from my Ood's rent gift of time?
Shall I these mists of memory locked utthln,

Oh t how or by what means may I contilvo
To bring the hour that bilnxs theo back

How may I tench my drooping hopo tollvo
Until that blessed time, nud thou art here?
I'll tell theo i for thy sako I wltl lay hold
Uf all good aims and consecrate to thee,
In worthy deeps, each moment that Is told,
While thou, belov'd ono I art afar from me.
For theo 1 will arouse my thouKhts to try
All heavenward flights, all high and holy

For thy dear sako I will walk patiently
ThrouKh heso long hums, nor call their

To follow absence, and to o'ertake

It was no wonder 1 loved ljer ; tho won-
ler would have been if I had not. Isolated
as we were, shut out from other society and
ivcisions I, young and susceptible! she,
queenly and fascinating any young man
in my place would have fallen in love witli
Ruth Bnniicr. Ah I sho was so lovely, so
graceful, so imperious, so strange; sho had
as many moods ns there wcro hours in the
ay, and in each sho was more enchanting
than tho last.
Sho was two seasons my senior. She had
been a belle two seasons, and, disgusted in
the midst of the third, ran away tn my mint's
to recruit and forgot. Sho was there when 1
came homo from college ut the summer va
cation. I was twenty, sho twenty-two, and
we spent all thoto lingering, scentcil summer
months in tlio samo house. I ilaro siy she
never thought of anything so improbable as
my falling in love witli her. I doubt if, in
her sujierb indifference to surroundings, she
would have cared if sho had. The idea of a
stripling lilto mo falling in luvo with her

tender years telling her his folly I
Her look, when I confessed the state of my
heart, taiil ull thut and mure. The regal
head turned languidly on the crimson cush
ion against which she reclined, and she re
garded mo witli a most provoking, steady
Incredulity In her beautiful eyes. The full,
finely-cut lips quivered with suppressed
smiling, nnd I stood like a great awkward
booby waiting for my reply. I believo my
face was very red, nnd I am not turo there
wcro not tears ready in my eyes. I did
not like to bo laughed at, but I had some
spirit.
" Docs my honest lovo deserve to be laugh
ed at, Miss Ruth 1" I questionedjwilh a half
angry tremor in my voice,
" Certainly not," said Miss Ruth, but bit
ing her lips still. " I dare say you nro lion
est enough, Stove, but really you are not
old enough."
Ruth Donner sank bock among her cuslv
ions, convulsed with sweet, stinging laugh
ter. I Blood meanwhile, overy nerve ting'
ling, passions of anger devouring me.
Miss Ruth," I'Baid, " I am waiting for
my answer "
You ridiculous Steve, haven't you got
it" sho said, sitting up and staring at me
'I am 16 understand, then, that my age
is vour only objection to me," I s.ijd, fprc
ing a quiet tone, and with n fair show of
smiling. "Timo will mend that."
" Hum possibly," witli another stare.'
I bowed 'coldly, and inking a book, usked
her If I should read to her as usual
Ynu won't laugh the next timo I tell
you I lovo you, Miss Ruth," I said to my
self, ns I turned the loaves.
I had taken nn " Aurora Floyd," as it
ehar.ced.and I opened and read nt random
one of those scenes between Mrs. Mcllisli
nnd the handsome groom.
Jluth Bonner interrupted mo almost an

She gathered liersllkcn.lraper.es around

Miid Bonner was lounging the morning

"What will you do with them?"

All I" sharply, and In a voice quivering
with angry pain.
I could have sprung into the room and
throttled this cowardly threatener of a wo
man j but leaping down among tho flower
b"ds' 1 hurried out of sight and hearing.
Half nn hour after I law a handsome
athcr distinguished looking man, stalking
through the garden towards tho road. 1
made a turn and mat lilni. Tlio dtsfin-
gtti&hcd look chanced to be a sort of dare
devil recklessness of air and manner us I
approached him, nnd ho seemed decidedly
out of humor.
I lifted my hat courteously as we passed.
Ho did tliesame, with a lialf-lmpudentstaro
lid turned to look after me as I sauntered
up tho walk.
Miss Bonner was nowlicro tu bo seen;
ml instead of coming down to dinner, she
scut word that sho had a headache.
I found Richard Dunkirk nngling in the
trout stream below (he house the next morn
ing. I angled too not for trout, but for his
acquaintance. He scowled nt sight of mej
but I bailed my hook cleverly, and pre
sently he became civil. I saw that ho was
trying to discover who I was, and my re
lations with Miss Bonner. I kept him
quite iu the dark, but wo separated witli
pparcutly mutual pleusuro in cocli other.
We cncounteiid again the following day
quite liko old acquaintances, and I invited
him to dino ot my aunt's. Ho gave a sort
of startled sture, but assented. It was too
good an opportunity to bo lost.
An acquaintance of yours, I believe,
Miss Ruth," I said, simply, ns I carelessly
niinouiiccd to her nnd my aunt that Mr.
Dunkirk had como to dinuer.
Miss Bonner lind seemed out of sorts for
a day or two. She gavo mo a half despe
rate look al the announcement.
You sec, Miss Ruth, I am not jealous,"
I said iu undertone.
You nro certainly generous," sho replied
coldlv. I was half of the opinion that she
would not come to dinner; but sho did,
royal iu beauty, nnd nonchalantly at ease,
ns though nothing had or could disltib her.
Dunkirk recognized tho seeming with a
shrug of theshiiulders,nnd imitated it. Wo
were, on tho whole, quite a pleasant parly.
Oncoor twice I saw Miss Bonner change
color at something lie said) hut sho main
tained her ease sipd cheerfulness exceeding
ly well. Ho oilereil a hand ut parting, but
she shook her head and clapped her hands
behind her. Ho bent low toward her then,
saying something in, a whisper that made
her f.ieo flash whitenessi but she only cum
pressed her lips and gavo him a look that
I should not have lilted to encounter.
Glancing into the parjor.ns I passed, after
seeing imnkirK qui, i saw jiiiss uonner
standing as ho had left her, her hands still
clasped behind her, and her beautiful face
expressive of a hopelessness mid despair that
smote me In the soul.
I only glanced once. The ono look gave
impetus to a half-fornieJ, altogether wild
scheme I had in my brain. In my chamber
I hastened to lock the door and change my
light clothes fur dark ones. I-adjusted a
plain mask to my face, selected from several
wld hats tho must battered, took n tolerably
stout walking-stick in my hand, and, swing
ing inyselMowii from the window outside,
lhat tlio household might not discover my
absence, set forth.
I ueeiiiniilishoil all this In about tho time
it takes totclljl,
By taking a shoit cut, which I was sum
could not be known to Dunkirk", 1 readied
u certain lonely and darksnnio siot, ns I
hoied, before him. Barely that. He came
iu sight presently, sauntering along in the
moonlight. I could see him quito plainly,
I was glad it was deep shadow just where
I waited, and I wondered if Richard Dun
kirk was the coward 1 took him to be.
Just ns ho mute npimsife me I loveled my
walking stick, resting it as I would a mm
kot across a convenient slump, while 1
called in as deep a voica as I could muster:
t'Hult, for your life 1"
The cud of my sh.ut cino was tipped with
metal j there Was just enough light to make
it glitter.
Mr. Dunkirk muttcrrd an colli; but ho
Stopped stock still In tho jwth, with a "What
is it you wnnt, fellow ?"
"Step there into that strip of moonllghti
where I call see you; and remember my gun
covers you," said I sternly. "Do as I tell
you or you arc a deud man I"
He walked to the point indicated in
stantly. "Now bo so good as to deposit the contents
of your iock;lsBjhgniuud.''
He hwituted; but I shifted my wilking
stick slightly, Intimated lhat I was in nn
humor lor trilling, und he pmceded to obey
me.
There was a knife, a match-case, a silver
tooth-pick, some loose coins, a pocket-book,
and a purse, nnd there he stopped.
"That Is not all," I said, sharply i "there
aro scvetul inside pockets yet do ma the
favor to empty those ulso."
Ho obeyed, but rather slowly, nothing
appoaringpf the description I sought. I be
gan to fear he had them not with him.
"It is not all," I said, deeply, and mora
sternly than before, .' .
Willi a groan, he took out a stnall parcel,
"AH, ujion my honor, except this, which
cannot possibly be of Buy value lo any oue
but me; they are merely letters."
"Allow ineto be the judge ol that," I an
swer. isply. "If I ean1' ""-''" ' W'H

Miss Bonner evinced a little wondertnff
anxiety tit his disappearance; and looked
incredulous nlien I announced his departure
from this vicinity.
She Was sitting in the old place, half re
clining among Hie cuhions she liked, when
I came softly beside her, anil laid the pro
ceeds of my highway robbery in her silken
lap.
She slipped ofl" the cover thatbonnd them;
her beautiful lips quivered, hpr faco whit
ened. "Did he give them tn you, the dastard ?
But better you than he," she added.
For answer, I toldjlicr nil.
"And you do not know the contents?"
"Nor tysh lo."
She began to tremble; her eyos filled
witli tears.
"Deafo to read them, Stove,"givingthcm
back to me.
"Do you want to preserve lliem?" I
asked, taking out a match. "Shall I des
troy them?"
" Not il I have fallen in your good op
inion, "My good opinion is nothing to you,"
I said, mldlr. "If it were, I would provs
to you that you had it, by telling you' over
ngain the tale you laughed at not so long
ago.'' And I touched the' letters'- with
II line.
" I should not Inttgh now,"shesnld, hum
bly, ns ii child, and looking down, while a
faint color flickering in her check made my
heart give n quick throb.
"What would you do?" I demanded
swiftly bending to look In her face.
She shrank a little, thn color coining In
rapid Hushes; then she rallied again, lilted
the beautiful eyes to mine, and said : " I
should say, i( you weru of tho mlud, two
years from now "
"You would be my wife?"
" Yes."
It is ten years sinco then. She is my
wife; and though I know what those letlers
were about now, I have never been sorry I
did nut rend them. They were tlio fruits of
one nftlioso boanlins school romances which
(though innocent) litivo blasted the life of
