Her companion replied ill the ndlrtim-

"I have this momeht addressed the last,"
answered the sweet, quiet votco of the pale,
black-robed girl at the opposite end of the
richly-furnished room.
"Then do try and amuse me. Play

Viola silently took her placo before the

She possessed a flno voice, and accora

As she perceived her deadly peril, she
Hesitated, bewildered with ner sudden ler-
ror.
A moment more and the locomotive
weuld have been upon her; the steam from
Its iron throat swept scorchlngly about her; I
the glittering bulk was so near she could
have touched It as, with a dazed cry, she
flung forth her helpless bands.
But at the Instant her stranger knight

Journey across the green country, all
drenched with the silvery spring rain.
So they had met and parted Viola Lor-
ttlneandber stranger-knight, whose very
name was unknown to Her.
...
But there never came a day when the
sllycry rains dripped and pattered against
roof and pane, that she did not recall nis
kind eyes, his beautiful smile, and His iobk
of tender regret when they had touched
each other's bands llngeilngly In their
farewell.
Almost unconsciously as sbe mused, her
" "f, " "V" '
fingers hovered over the piano keys, and
soft voice sang the lines:
"Alast how easily things go wrong--

And there comes a mist and a weeping rain,
And life M new the etrne again,

"How tlellRlitttll of you to come so soon

would not have failed of Its effect with
Gerald Yynne.
ITe was a lonely man, and one who found
more care than pleasure in the possession
of his great wealth. Tie had buried the
bride of his early youth some years before,
and he bad one childa lovely little boy
who sorely needed the bverslght which
only A womanly tenderness can afford.
Handsome Evallne Slarkham had attract
ed him; not as a man is attracted by the
one woman who commands his best and
closest love, but because he fancied she
would make nti isttmable mother for his
little Vance.
Often he had half resolved lo ask ber to
be his wife, but always some Inexplicable
feeling bad checked the words upon his
lips.
Between him and Evallne Markhnm had
always arisen the vision of a lithesome
young figure and a lovely young face a
pale, refined face, framed In softly-banded
chestnut lialr, from which looked forth
large, earnest eyes of Innocent blue.
She would have been all the world to
me, If I could have gained her love. That
one day was a foretaste of the heaven my
life would Have been had not our ways dl-
verged. AVe arc never likely to meet again;
what might have been can never be. I
must forget ber; and I must give my poor
little Vance a mother," he thought, as he
paused on the threshold of Evallne Mark-
ham's home that rainy day.
As he paused ho heard the sound of a
planoi and of a sweet voice lingering over
uie lines.
"Alast how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much, or a kiss too long;
Aud there comes n mist and n weeping rain,
And life Is never the sumo again.
And at the sound of the soft yolce there
flashed before him another rainy day, with
the haunting vision of a lovely face blush.
Ing "celestial red" beneath his glances, of
sweet Hps which quivered at tne last laro-
well, ot dainty bands which trembled in tne
parting clasp,
"But I must put such fancies from me.
She came into illy life only as some bright
star might flash across the skies to vanish
4n., no morol t must think of mv
b motherless little Vance. And
JSvaline, always so amiame, so solicitous
for the Comfort of others, Is very worthy lo
bemv wife," bethought as he rung the
bell and finally presented himself before
Miss Markbam.
