beautifully yaguo elucidation, hut she
smiled doubtfully over the long silken
gloves she was Just then drawing upon
her pretty hands.
She had Iter own Ideas concerning Mr.
Hurt Moitcmar. Sim had her own no
tions, too, about the delicate hunch of
dewy wlld-wooil blossoms which, every
morning for many a sweet spring day,
had been unfailingly delivered, without
note or naino to reveal tho Identity of
the sender.
What delicious fancies had been
evoked by the exquisite offerings only
her own fair self knew. The flowers
rested upon her heart by day and upon
her pillow by night; the fresh petals
seemed Imprinted with Invisible mes
sages of tenderness; the soft leaves
seemed like the touch of kisses; thn
fragrance seemed to signify tho love
which would remain Imperishable when
all else would have become dust and
decay.
And ever, waking or dreaming, an
unseen form seemed beside her; nn
earnest f.ico seemed bending toward her
own; a thrilling voice seemed pleading
as soul pleads to soul.
And the face, the voice, the form,
were those of Conrad Mortcmar the
reticent, dlindcnt, scholarly Conrad
whom worldly Mrs. Ncwbold deemed
in every particular less eligible than his
gay pnd dashing elder cousin.
"Hut poor or rich, so ho loves me
truly, I shall some time be his own,'
Aggie thought, as she bent her warm
lips to the cxqulslta flowers she wore on
her bosom.
Mrs. N'ewbold perceived the move
ment and frowned.
"I wouldn't he sentimental over a hit
of cronfoot and 'johnnv-jump-up,' If I
were you, especially when there 1$ a
possibility of their being sent by some
body besides Hurt," she remarked, with
contemptuous severity.
"My dear Delia, If that same possibil
ity did not exist 1 should not have
shocked your sensibilities," Aggie re
torted with coolest composure, although
her cheeks had flushed hot and crimson.
"Hero comes Mr. Hurt; so you two
had just better stop your quarrelling,"
Master liollV Interposed, with a mature
air of being friendly to both parties at
.variance, .and of having a judicious de
sire, for them to maintain a becoming
semblance of peace in the presence f
outsiders at least.
And just then Mr. Burt' Mortemar
alighted from a stylish village cart
which had stopped at the door, and a
moment later he presented himself be
fore, them.
He was certainly a very handsome
and attractive personage.
He had a straight and sol llerly liguro;
his features were of classic contour and
Interestingly pale: his hair and beard
were black; but hie eyes were of a non
descript and expressionless gray, nml
his ready smile was meaningless.
"I shouldn't wear those flowers If I
were you! those anemones and violets
nro too fragile for the sun and wind,"
he said lo Aggie.
"Slie hasn't time to stop and change
her fixings; her hat Is big enough to
shade them, anyhow; and she can get
plenty mote crow foot where we aro go
ing," was tlm volley of objections made
by Master Holly, who was already
bounding down the steps where the
Jaunty cart and pretty horse were wait
ing in the pleasant sunshine.
And so In another moment they were
away, bowling down the long, stony
streets, leaving tho wilderness behind
them, and Hearing the green surburban
hills and hollows.
"One. need not go far to enjoy a bit of
the country," Aggie commented, as
they finally left their equipage beneath
a sheltciing waysldu maple, and started
for a little stroll along the low margin
of a narrow stream a sheet of amber
embossed with emerald Illy pails and
fringed with lush mosses, showing hero
and there the gold and azure gleams of
wild iris bloom.
"And yonder Is a man with a big
honk, and ho Is digging something!
I in going to seo what he Is doing, any
how," exclaimed Master Holly, bound
ing precipitously away toward a solitary
individual, whom lie had espied behind
n clump of low trees further down the.
shrubby bank.
"Vott had better stay where you arc!
the man may not want you!" Unit said
with a look of annoyance, and with a
motion as If he would prefer to turn
back.
" hy, Isn't It Conrad? you cousin
himself?" Aggie said, with pleased sur
prise, and with some wonder too at the
badly suppressed vcxatationpf her com
panlon.
"It resembles him that's a fact! he
responded, with an effort tp appeal n
different, and as surprised as herself.
"Master Holly will bo likely to bilng
him over to us, I suppose. And hero
are some brilliant meadow-lilies to re
place your wilted vollcts," he added, .19
he Indicated a little rise of ground whe:e
once had been some prlmltivo dwelling,
nnd where now were piles of niolJcrlng
timbers, heaps of fragmentary bricks,
and oyer all a warped ami mossy well
sweep swaying and creaking In tho
sweet spring breeze.
Hut Aggie did iut heed the 111 lies.
which glowed like specks of flame amid
the short, rich grass of what had once
been a simple garden, and where even
yet a caunt and gnarly lilac bush was
tossing a few pale purple plumes.
Although she walked mechanically
toward tho Indicated spot, her eyes and
her thoughts were upon Conrad, who
had just become aware of her propln-

approached. "I have been doln.tr mot

flowers more perfect and considerably
more abundant.
.lust then he perceived the withering
bunch of violets she wore, and ns he
looked h s eyes met hers In ono swift,
mesmeric glance.
It was only a glance, brief and silent;
but lu the fleeting Instant Aggie knew
w ho had been the sender of tho floral
gifts.
And In the fleeting Instant two hearts
were revealed, each to the other the
girl knew that she was beloved, and
Conrad Mortemar knew that his love
had not .been In vain.
The elder cousin noted the glance,
and his nondescript gray eyes for a second
glittered with an oddly yellowish light,
and the classic contour of his features
was distorted momently by an expression
of wrathful jealousy.
"Con lias an Incorrigible predilection
for solitude and his own society," he
said, with a sneer behind his jetty beard.
"I am not such a monstrous egotist my
self ; I prefer thn busy world and the
society of my follows."
"Hut there arc always curious things
out In the county anyhow," said Master
Holly, who had been industriously ex
ploring a molderlng log, and who had
succeeded in capturing a gorgeous eft
which was still struggling rcbelliously
In his Inquisitive grasp.
"H may hurt you, Holly; do let It
go," said Aggie, stepping hastily back
ward, as just then the reptile slipped
from his fingers and darted down the
old tree trunk toward her.
As she stepped backward she uttered
a Utile startled cry, as the tufted grass
seemed yielding beneath her feet.
Hut as she sprung forward to regain
her falling foothold, there was a dull
crunching, and quavering sound, nnd
she felt heiself falling helplessly down
ward. JSho flung out. her hands In scared ap
peal,, only to clucth a gnarly lilac-twig,
which broke In her wild grasp; and
then, before her companions could real
ize .what was happening in their sight,
she had vanished in the ungtiesscd pit
fall;of an old well, over which the thin
and rot ol covering had been li dm
beneath the tangled and tutted grasses.
. A second of speechless consternation
was succeeded by w hat seemed an age.
oLagoutzlug indecision and purposeless
activity.
Vainly they peered down Into tho
abyss, and vainly they called to her; the
black depths seemed bottomless, and
not tlio slightest sound came up to them
again.
"She Is unconscious, or dead per
haps," the elder cousin inutteied, as he
stared Into tho pit, which Indeed might
be thu tomb of the bright girl who only
a moment before had stood there, happy
and smiling, before them lu the sun
shine.' "H'e must go down to her," Conr.nl
answered, his volco steady, his face as
nhlte as marble.
"That would bo sheerest madness,"
Hurt returned. "You would only risk
your own life! the old well must bo
full of noxious gasscs! And besides, we
hao no lope, no ladder."
"We have tho driving reins," said
Con, who had already secured the stout
reins, which hu was speedily knotting
together.
"lie should be wiser to drive some
where for assistance," Hurt objected.
"There Is no need for you to jeopardize
your own life."
"1 am not a coward,'' Con answered
rebuklugly.
"Mr. Hurt Is though," asset ted Mas
ter Holly, who in manful teailessiiess
was vigilantly watching the proceed'
lugs.
Just then a faint call came up fiom
the black pit; thu gill sllll lived; and he
who loved her best had still thu privilege.
of descending lo her living tomb, for
rescue or for death beside her.
This thought possibly flashed through
thu mind of the elder man, for his pal
lor changed lo sallow red as ho moved
back and allowed Conrad to descend un
hindered to tho luckless prisoner below
Aggie, faint though shu was with the
shock of the fall and choking with the
dank and musly air, was unhurt, and
had not been unconscious.
The springs of the old well had Ion
ago been dried; the bottom was clayey
and broad, thu stony walls were cush
lonod with thickly grow Ins grass nnd
mosses, to which shu had clung with a
strength lessening the force of her fall.
And as shu lay the;o gazing upward,
she could clearly distinguish tliem above
her; she could see their disturbed coun-
tcnaces, she could hear the steady vo.c
of the one, and the less courageous tones
of the oilier.
Had she ever doubted, sho would now
have known who loved her best.
And as she watched him coming down
to her, even though there was yet peril
enough for them both, her heart was
filled with a joy which quelled every
fear. It was so sweet to owe all, even
life Itself, to one so stanch and tender
and true!
"My own, my own!" Conrad whis
pers, as for ono brief Instant he held
her to his heart before he sent her on
her way to safety.
The elder cousin attempted a cheerful
courtesy when at length thn rescued and
the rescuer were safe and composed
once more on the upper earth.
"You had better drive Miss Acnes
hoine In your cart, Cop i I can take a
car back myself," he. said.
"What did he mean, anyhow? he
said (he cart w as ypuis," the Inquisitive
Master Holly queried, as lie settled his
small self between the lovers, and the
pretty horse was headed homeward.
"Oh! I I give Hurt the privilege of
usins my chattels whenevurho likes,"
Conrad replied lightly.
"But Imn't he not all the money ai;.!
Hoi..

If
business when I choose to waste my
time botanizing," Con said, as If the
fact were something already understood
by everybody except very stupid small
boys.
"Hut I thought," Aggie began, and
then paused lu blank amazement.
"1'crhaps you thought I was the In -
pccttnlotis member of the family? Well,
I shall always congratulate myself upon
that, my daillng," her lover said, with a
peculiarly gratified laugh as he turned
and kissed the beautiful, amazed face
beneath the cartwheel sun-hat.
Mrs. Newbold was no less astonished
than her happy young sister.
"Hut, of course, Hurt never Intended
to deceive anybody," she declared In
magnanimous defenso of her favorite.
"I supposo he was not even aware how
we had deceived ourselves. Hut after
all, Aggie, you are very prudent In
preferring Conrad; he has all the Morte
mar money, and I rather think he loves
you the best."
