"Cecil Is all light," lie said with a

but there was a heavy weight at hei heart.
She did not know, how Kent Sherwood
watching, was chilled at the unchanging
expression of her bright, piquant face.
"Yes; I am going throned the territor
ies," ho said. "I have been woiklng rath
er hard, and I think the change will do mo
good."
"I did not ki:oiv your health was In (lie
least affected," with a lack nf anxiety that
paincilhim.
"I am not an Invalid," ho ansvveted
almost sharply, "but one can bu In need of
rest and chanse without being in what wo
call 'delicate health." Leave that lenn
for my cousin. Cecil his pale face and
languid air, would gain him sympathy any
where." Thru he grew Immediately ashamed of
himself, aud tho wondering look' in Cat
men's ers mado him Hush. :
"I :un Irritable this morning forglye
inc," hn said, with an attempt at a smile.
"That must be ono ol tho sigm of jour
indisposition," answered Cat men, but in
truth she felt little like jesting.
"How long do you intend lo remain
away," shn asked.
"Oh, that is more than I can say; per
haps seveial months," answered Kent care
lessly. His tone was too much, Carmen turned
away to hide ilie tears ilia I welled to her
lovely eyes, and seemed engrossed wilii the
yellow ycMi uuaiu.
"How indifferent tho is!' thought the
man who watched her. "Hut what mat
ters it if I go Cecil is lieie. Yet I have
thought that she cared a little nt le.iil
for me, nnd perhaps If I stayed Hut
no, I havo promised. Cecil was right 1
guess, after all, and I will go and try (o
forget. And when I come back t'ou!
can I bear It? Perhaps 1 will never come.
This may be our last faiewell."
''Carmen, " he said gently, and his voice
was scarcely steady. "I shall not see you
again. 1 sunt to-morrow."
She did not (urn at first; dio felt a strange
fall upon her, and Sitniethlug seemed to be
choking her. It seemed as though she
must fall at Ids feet and beg him not to
leave her.
Then slowly .-bo wheeled about, and went
forwalU with downcast eves, nnd gave him
her hand.
"Good-bye," the said In low tone..
It was All she could say.
He tetieaiod the words, wailed for her to
utter some regrets or vvlsho., and then in
disappointment turned and went out,
If'idi a desperate effort Carmen hastened
to the door:
"Good luck attend joti," sho cried g.ivly,
and he vairicd with him for many a day the
memory of that bright, smiling face, and
did not guess of the tears that weie shed
when the door closed between (h in.
A fovv paces uway Kent met a man a
slepder, haudsoiiio man, in whoso delicate
face were no traces of sluillailly with his
own noble features.
The new-comer flashed him a quick, siu
sIcIqus look that Kent was not slow lo In
terpret. "I haye been to say good-bye, Cecil," he
atld.
With a sudden ImpuUe his cousin canght
his hand. ,
"Bless you," he exclaimed; "you area
noble fellow, Kent; you have given mo new
life. You uto so much stiouer than I."
Kent tinned away with a sigh.
Stronger than his cousin? Yes, but not
jvery strong, after all; and hi knew, when

ho was speeding over the rails twenty-four
hours Iatoe, that ho Iind given up his only
chance of happiness for the sake of a man
who had been selfish enough to ask the sac
rifice him. Yet he loved Cecil, and he
was the stronger.
Xo one know that Carman grieved oyer
Kent Sherwood's departure,
Cecil went up lo tho cottage, and she
welcomed him in the old glad way, and
chatted ami laughed as though shn weie
without caie,
llut one nielit, when Cecil asked her to
bo his wife, sho shrank, with a strange ciy
of paln,aiidcoveicd her face withher hands.
Gently, passionately, lie pleaded with her
but her answer was the same. Yet he did
not despair.
Day after day ho sought her, and gtew
hopeful when he saw how she was learning
to enjoy his company, nnd how grateful she
was for his little a tcuttoiis.
Carman had ol ways liked this man with
the beautiful sad face, and poetic, sensitive
nature, and now his presence was a solace
to her.
Ahd when ho renewed his protestations
of love, and Implored. her to shaie his life
and fortunes, she hesitated.
"Why should 1 not? Ho loves me, aud
we aro "well suited to cacli other," she
thought. "Would It not be better than for
tne to live alone and lonely I"
And then sho told him that me would lie
his wife, and Cecil, ill his joy, failed to no
tlco her emotion.
Yet Jie knew sbo did not love liliu as be
loved hnr, and when ho thought of the man
traveling through strnnge countries, lie felt
almost guilty.
Cai man was ov. er to his home one Novem
ber evening. She had, been at dinner with
Mrs. Sherwood, Cecil, nnd a few of the
former's friends, and sho looked rarely
lovely in u costume of wine-red moire, with
her fair aims and shoulders gleamiug
through black lace, and clusters of yellow
roses to lend her brightness.
Cecil was unusually quiet that night.
When it was quito late, lie and Cartncu
went to the gallery and walked up and down
In the moonlight,
Then ho drew her to ascat in tho window,
and llucw himself upon the tiger-skin at
her fool, 'villi his head resting upon her.
His face, in that silver light, looked like
a carving in mable, and his ejes were deep
and shadowy.
"You aro Utile more than an animated
statue to-night," she said lightly. "I do
not believe vou liaye spoken a dozen words
since we left the dinner-table."
"Joy Is silent," he said, with an upward
glance. "I have listened lo you all the
while, and was content."
"Which would seem to Imply that I am
not joyful," rclortod Carmen.
"Ah, you know what 1 mean. Carmen,
my love for you is idolatrous. I worship
you, live but for you. Do you think you
will ever love me liko thai?"
"I love you now," shetiid soflU.
shall learn to lovo you more."
"I believe It; such lovo as mine mint
win a return," he said, and reaching up ho
wound Ills arm about her. "Hut you haye
not always loved me. Carmen, you are
changed."
He felt a tremor inn through her slender
form. Could he have learned her secret?
"Hut ou aro mine now," lie went on
with a strange eagerness. "Ah, Carmen,
sometimes I think my Jiappincss'ts loo great
It will not last."
"You are depressed to-nlnht," she wins
liercd, as sho leaned nearer.
Then she laid her sweet Hps upon his and
kissed him tenderly.
Never before had she been so loving, so
caressing. In that hour she loved him bet
ter than ever before, and when they parted
she kissed him vvithoulathoiighl of another
love that hail haunted her for many days.
What strange influence was It that made
Carman Lisle so wakeful that iilghl? ll'hy
did sho lie tlioro with a strange feeling of
oppression upon her?
In the morning site dressed with nil haste
and went down stairs looking slightly worn
and pale.
Cecil was not there. No, nor would he
ever be In their midst again.
The servant sent to waken him, found
him seated at his desk with his head bowed
upon his folded amis.
When tbey raised him up they saw a
smile upon his white, dead face, aud lie
neath his folded arms was a letter.
Carmen took it and read It through her
tears; It was to Kent Sherwood,
JIy ilea cousin, The same voice that
urged your departuie calls out lo jou across
tho space to return. I have been morn
than selfish: 1 have deceived Carmen and
robbed sou. Yes I know the Irulh; she
loyesyou. I suspected Is when 1 asked
you lo go away, nnd hers Is a heart that
will not change. Sho would marry me bo
cause sho thinks j oil deserted her. Per
haps sho would love me a little, but It is not
to be. 1 feel to-night a stiaugo sense of
gathering gloom; I feel Impelled to write to
jou. Alt. my heart, the old pain Is there,
aud it frightens me. 1 seem to ewe stiiingo
foiuis In (lie sliaddows about. Whut a
coward I anil Yet I feel, too, her arms
around me, and her klseson my lips. ( 'ar-

That was the last word her name.
Through all the shadows of appioachlng
death, his loye for her had conquered fear
ami pain. She thought of their last hours
together, and was glad (hey had been siic;i
happy ones.
Cecil Sherwood had been under (ho sod
three days when his cousin returned.
' Ho read (he letter und saw how he had
been misunderstood, how he had misjudged
Carmen.
Hut no word of this passed between them
till the. grass was green uikui the gruVc of
noor Cecil, and then together he and Car
men went to lay a fragrant tribute above
cold clay of the man whose love had beu
as deep as his own.
Then Kent drew her (o him and spoke Ic
low tone?.
"Carmen, ho gave you lo inc."
It was thus they were betrothed, nnd the
sun shone down upon them, and the flowers
on Cecil Sherman's grave sent up a holy
Incense.
