An t happy hours we've lingered here,

Why did you come at all, my dear.
To fly away so soon?
n but a moment looser Stay,
Nor hear Time's Jealous call!
I've told you much I meant to say,
llut I have not told you all.
So take my hand I Wo must not part-
W Idle you my love deny.
Oh, hear the story of my heart
Before you say good-byel
Slnco first I looked In your bright eyes,
since first I heard our voice. -
1 felt that life held out a prlie
That hade my sole rejoice.
Since then my heart, the whole day lone,
sines on in love's delight;
And dreams but echo love's dear none,
Ami nil with joy the night.
I look Into your eyes again,
And seek an answer thero
To what was but a question then,
llut now a fervent prayer 1
Olvelovo for love! My eager heart
Is waiting your reply,
Oh, say that we need never part
rieed never say good-bye)

She was in appearance almost a child,
slim as a youthful tamarack, and graceful,
with a face sweet, round, fresh, daintily
tinted, but hardly up to the classical ideal I
of bfcautv. A face tenderly, temptingly,
daringly lovable, yet wondrous sad, I thai, I
in its present repose.
Red flames suddenly broke from a smold-1

street, pierced the encroaching gloom, fore-1

fce, those dreamy, veiled eyes, and two

have counted on the. morrow thus?
The banging of a distant door, then the
sound of some one approaching.
An Instant her heart stood still
with a

fear.
Could lt be Paul? Paul Granieigh, her
cousin, her king among men. jet who In a

Ab, no, she bad seen him ride away in

A few minutes later, wrapped In furs to

lifted Into tho walllnz cutter. Errlc was
about to accompany her, when his brother
called him aside, and both returned to tbe
house, only one returning a moment later.
Even through her anxiety she felt
grieved. IChy had Paul so coolly parted
with her?
Hushing to her eyes the tears froze there,
She had no desire to speak, and Erric ap
parently was in tho same mood.
Silently and tediously they drovo against
the ever increasing storm. Wilder and
more furious lt became, deeper and more
drifted tho snow.
"We shall never get there!" cried Trick,
wildly. "It must be near midnight, now.
