"-There was something about Barbara
thateverybody liked. , she was a plain
;little woman, with . rv', eyes and solt
ibrowistair, and there wasn't a particle of
;personal magnetism in her voice or man=
tier, as there ought to have been if she'd.
'any idea of her duty as a heroine. But
if you had taken one good look into those
gray ayes of hero;yon'd have understood
at once thosecret of her popularity, and
that it was the overflowing love and sym
,pathy and kindliness of her nature that
'so endeared her, to the heart of her-ac
quaintances. I never heard hey called
anything else but Barbara, and,' it was
I isome time before I found onti that this
quaint and old fashioned name so exactly
;suited to her; aria'to the nnro
mantic one orStaith. I don't know that
it made any diffetence, but I should really
have preferred that her ancestors bad
been known by some other appellation,
and it was only on account of his name,
asßarharalierself declared. that I tried to
make a match between her and Mr. Stan
hope, a widower with seven children.
It was while I was teaching in
K=—
that I first met Barbara. The children
under my charge were a noisy, ferocious
set, and I was, nearly worried to death
that night, when she overtook me on my
way home from school. She introduced
herself to me without any formality (I
believe she had a presentiment that I was
in troubleand needed a friend,) and we
'soon - chatted as familiarly as if we had
been acquainted for years.
After that Barbara and I met often,atub
I grew to love her and-look up to her as
if she had been an elder ter. Kind as
she was to everybody, she seemed to re
gard me with peculiar affection, and. line
day I found out the reason.
"You remind me so much of a friend
who was dear to me years ago," she said,
smiling, but with a mistin her eyes.
"0! Barbara won't you tell me who -it
was?" I asked, eagerly.
"You are a true daughter of Mother
Eve, Kitty. You =isn't be so canon's."
"But it isn't that, Barbara; I wantNto
know something about yon." iN
"Something about me! Is the - .child
crazy, or does she think I'm a disguised
thief or housebreaker?"
t•No, no; why can't you understand?
It is what you said and did when you
wasn't any older than lam that. I'd lik
to know, and why—why—why—"
"Why I never married, is that it!"
I crimsoned with shame,
but there was
such a magish twinkle in Barbara's eyes,
I could not help confessing that was what
I meant.
m certain as can be you had ever
so many nffers,", I said, confidently, "for
I'm seen your picture, taken when you
were twenty; and although not eilmordi
may pretty (Barbara raised tier hands in
horror) it is the kind of face we are sure
to like."
"Your candor is quite refreshing, Miss
Kitty. And so you don't think I was ex
traordinary pretty, even at twenty P '
"Of course I don't, and why Should I
mind telling you so ? But tor all that
I'm sure you had a lover, and I want to
knomi something about him."
"It is a long story, Kitty, and a sad
one," she said, 'her face clouding oirer;
"but I've . thought sometimes that I ought
to tell it for your own . good. Yon; often
imagine that Will is countrified, and
doesn't care as much for dresrand appear
ance as be ought to, and it would be a
lesson to you that you'd 'never forget, not
to value such things for more than they
are worth.
Will was' my betrothed—a plain, hen
est-hearted term e r—ond I lovedlbial dear.
ly, altheirljr he wasn't ai refined and re
labed outwardly as I should have liked
him to be.
"Never mind Will," said 1, 'pettishly . ;
"bat tell me the story."
There was a brief silence, and then she
began:
"I was jest nineteen when I first met
John Nelsbm -- (1 - started at the-sound of

"But you Voubin't have me marry

"-From that time forth, everybody talked
to me abo . nt John Nelson,, and st tried
me dreadfully. All my girl friends • said
it was so romantic, just like a story, ; you
know. and of coarse, to make the finale
perfect, I'd have 'to marry the hem. I
cannot say that this idea was particularly
distasteful tome, only, I didn't like. to
hart' it talked' about so much. I ,had
known that Jinni Nelson loved me even
before the adventure on the ice; not that
he had ever said so in exact words, but
there areother waysof tellingsuch things
just as convincing. ' -The knowledge flat

had no intention of accepting him, for he

and a farmer, too, dud I. decided to fir iny
affections upon some knightly, courtly
gentleman engaged in intellectual pur
suits, although to be, sure I hadn't met
any one as yet that answered thene re
quirements. As for Harry Dubois, he did
well enough to flirt with, and that was
"But somehow, I felt directly toward
John Nelson from the time be saved my
life. It wasn't gratitude, nor was it love.
although it ripened into such a feeling. I
began to think less of outward appear
ance, and more of the truth and innate
worth that was in this man. At first. me
'were shy and distant when we met, and I
don't think , he understood a word of what
said when I tried to thank him for sav
ing my life, we were both so embarrassed.
It was not anywonder either,considering
that we knew exactly what people were
saying about via, and that-everything we
ought to do was already, planned before
haniL But the weekswent by, and our
reserve wore Aiff, and when in early spring
John Nelson 'Sakai me to be his wife,
was as happy r girl as ever drew breath.
I forgot that he was rough and uncouth,
and'a farmer,l knew that I loved hini,
andlbat he was strong, and true, and self
-reliant: ;I didn't give so much as a single
sigh to'my lost ideal;, John Nelson, just
as he was satisfied all the needs of my na
ture. Oh lif I could have felt. thus al-
ways. But I did not. I was weak enough
to, place him in contrast with one of more
polished exterior and to feel mortified at
the choice I hid made.
"Early in June a traveling artist took
up his quartera in our village, for the pur
pose of making a few sketches of thepie
ture.sque hills and valleys lying around us.
He was a man of graceful, courtly bear
ing, who had mingled in the best society
that, Europe..Or Amerlim _afforded, and
who could interest one for hours %riff' de
scriptions of the scenes and places he had
visited. Although, on reflecting upon his
character since, I am convinced be pos
sessed unbounded egotism, but ho dis
guised it in such a way that it was rather
attractive than otherwise. From the very
first, .1 was his special favorite.
"No one understands me so well," he
said. "The rest are cold and practical;
you are au enthusiast, fall of fire and im
agination, and 'read my heart like an open
book. You follow, s me in the wildest
flights of fancyond sympathize with all I
my aspirlitions. Ab, Barbers, yon have
the true soul."
- "Full of pride and delight, I listened
to this high-flown language and began to
feel dissatisfied 'with my toyer that he
didn't talk to pie in that style. For the
highest praise , that John had ever bestow
ed upon me was to'cali me his 'neat little
housewife, and, be never said a word to
tar about xxietry orliniagination. He
seemed to think that pleb), Fraction, ep
ery-day nommen sense was all that was
necessary in this life, and to have no con
ception of the higher needs of one's na
ture. Then, too, Paul Leslie was so po
lite rend chivalnins; and paid we such
delicate little ' attentions; why couldn't
John do thersiune ? His awkwardness
jarred on my 'nerves_ terribly and there
were times when I couldn't help showing
it. I tried not to think of it, and to co
fort Myself with the knowledge of his
aterliog worth, and integrity, but didn't
succeed very well. Nor did it help the
matter any that Paul seemed to regard
me in the light of a martyr; about to be
led to the stake. I don't mean that he
said so, be wag too courteous for' that, but
looks are often more eloquentthan words.
"Hatters went on in this way formei
iso

.pro
greased; the breach between John ant My.
self widened. I never thought tlien,weak
fool that I was, that it was my vanity to
which Paul ministered; awl not the'spir

much.' But se it was, and I understood
it allafterwards, and how far ; inferior to

a momentary feeling of terror, I consoled
myself Avith the reflection =that I 'should

me as one of the dead."
'Barbara paused,. as it overcome with
emotion. - •i • .

'Bat where did be go? What becameofliim ?" I asked softly.
"I never heard; except that he had sold

stood the noble, generous heart that I had

ghosts, the harsh4ind cruel words I had
said to him rose up, before• me, and my
punishment seemed almost greater than{
could bear."
"I fairly bated the sight of. Paul Leslie
after John left, for I felt that the ship- .
wreck which I had made of myhappiness
was mainly owing to his influence. Lin
returned to the city in the beginning of
Autumn, and I actually felt relieved when
hement away. I heard afterward,: but
don't know bow true it was, that ho had
wife and two children. ,
"Bat there is ode thing, Barbara, - •that
you haven't told - me ? " said I, eagerly.
"Did all this happen-mil—, or some
where else?".

"Hadn't I ever told-you, Kitty, that I

"But didn't you ever think that John
Nelson mightcome back sometime. And
what would you do if such a thing were
to happen, and he too had remained faith

BuLthat night in the privacy of my

that I was, full of all that Kirbara had
