Sli(Mvis so exquisitely bentttiful, it wus avtually provoking that there shouldn't be the lottst romance about 1 1 'sc. Waves of pale golden hair rippled away from In r pearly forehead, and ' Were gathered into a superb knot at the flvusk of iter head. Such a blue gleamed in her sweet eyes, audi a lovely pink mantled her soft cheek,' fcuch a smile parted Jut ripe mouth, that, well-bred as you might bo, you eould not have re frained from staring at her; and then, thinkingof straw berno-' and eream, have longed for a silver spoon with which to cat her. - . Hut for all this' there wasn't the least romance connected witli her. Though threc-nnd-twenty, Delicia had never had a lover. She lived in a quiet farm liouse amour the White mountains with Iit father and mother all the year round." She loved them dearly was happy wish them and her horse, Joan of Arc. .loan was beautiful, high-spirited ; and Delicia, who cared nothing for danc ing or flirting, and could neither sing nor plny.wos passionately fond of horsebaek riulne. There was :i spirit of prido and '.'taring in her which made Iter a superb l ir'er, and caused the young men of the very bare neighborhood to "call her haughty. The delights of her life were the pine-scented woods, the winter landscapes of ermine snow and glitter ing ice, the areamy sweetness of the autumn orchards. At twenty-three Delicia hart been content with an ex istence lived in comparative solitude. Then came a tcniblo calamity. Her father was killed by a runaway horse, and her mother, frail and unable to en dure the shock, sank slowly but surely until, one mockingly bright, beautiful day, Pejieia found herself entirely alone. Outsiders then ca.lled her cold, for no one saw her weep. She only trembled wo excessively beside the open graves that ol7 Aunt Thankful, who had nursed her de..d mother, was obliged to support her to keep her from fulling. Otherwise she was composed, only her Hwet eyes had a look in them pitiful to see. A change had come over Delicia's serene life; the dear home-love was gone, and the girl's content had gone. With a native courage and reserve pe culiar to her she made no complaint; she asked Aunt Thankful rather wist fully to stay and keep house for her, and then turn en to her books and l:orse and maiden meditations. But Delicia's dreams were troubled now. Life's grief had touched her ; she knew that sorrow was in the world ; she feared the future. The strange, sad summer parsed. One line November day, Bob, the hired man, led Joan of Arc prancing to the door, the side-saddle on uer back. " I have to o to the village, miss, to buy the new milch cow. I'll not be back till noon. You'll not mind letting Joan stand with the saddle on a little till I come P" " No," said Delicia, absently. tier beautiful oval cheek was Jwhite under her velvet cap. There was a sad ness quite unmistakable in her eyes as she turned Joan's head toward the hill road. Yet who, to have seen her beautiful, spirited figure loping along the uplands, would have divined the rare heart of the heiress of Wheatlands? She did not, perhaps, understand herself, and did not know she had asked her own soul: "Am I to be all my life alone? Will no one great and good ever ask mo tube his dearly-beloved wife? If not, I shall perish off the face of the earth." You must have guessed rarely to have guessed how deeply ran the still waters of that idyllic life. You would not have guessed it from anything in her perfect proud face as she turned it to ward a passing cairiage. The occupants were a blase-look ing man of thirty, per haps, nixfa very young and pretty girl. A single glance, told the story that the young girl was loving and unhappy ; t luit the man, for some reason, found her desirable of possession. lie had hard black eyes that repelled Deiieia. yet the sight of the two seated so closely gave her a Vague, painful feeling of solitude and desolation which hot long ago was utterly unknown to ner. The carriage glittered by, and Joan loped softly alone? the woodv road. soundless with a thick carpet of pino needles. She made a circuit, and came buck to Hie main road. . Suddenly unusual sounds attracted her attention. A crash and violent scream reachcdJier ear, and as she rode forward, a strange sight burst upon her vhnv. The carriage had gone over an em bankment and was a perfect wreck ; the horses lay prostrate one of them killed, tho other struggling desperately, but unable to rise ; and prone beneath the broken vehicle was stretched the sense less body of the dark, handsome man. Over him bent the girl, screaming no longer, but sobbing violently. Delicia slipped from her horse, and wns at her side some moments before siio realized her presence. "Wallace! Wallace! For heaven's sake, speak to me! You cannot you cannot be dead? Oh, dear Wallace see, it is little Altai Only speak to me!" Then, with a despairing cry, the young girl fell upon the pulseless breast. Then, starting to her feet to look about for help apparently, she saw Delicia. "Oh," she gasped, snatching at her arm, "Look at him! see, is he dead? The carriage fell lupon him, while I I am not hurt at all. Oh, heaven, what shall I doP" The white, still face told Delicia that the man at her feet would never breathe again. Hearing wheels, she sprang back into the road, and encountered old David Green and his son, the keepers of the village hotel. Su nraoned to view the scene, they disentangled the senseless body, placed it in the carriage, and turned to Delicia for further directions. " (let a doctor immediately that you rea.-h the village, Mr. Green. I will take this young lady home with me, and bring her back to tiie hotel as soon as I can put Joan to the phaeton. Come with me, my poor child I will take care of you," to the petite, white-faced girl; and throwing her riding-skirt more closely over iter arm. she led Joan by a short-cut through the fields, back to Wheatlands. By the way she tried to question her companion; but the girl, almost trans pot ted with grief, made such incoherent replies that she could only learn that she had been riding since the middle of the previous night, that they were on their way to Conway, that they intend ed o be married there" " ' ' . "Were you- were you," said Delicia,' gently, in involuntary amaze, " running away from your friends ?" A lta nodd'd. . ' From iny brother, Guy Yannevar. He did not like Mr. Munroe. Yes, we were to be married against his will, and now oh. Wallace, Wallace!" Throwing Joan's bridle over the gate post, Delicia led the trembling girl to lii-itoor. It was locked. The key hung in the secret place, known only to the family, for Aunt Thaukf jl had at last executed a prom ise to visit a sick neighbor some quar ter of a mile distant. Bob had not yet returned, for it wanted still an hour till noon. To Delicia's consternation, tho un happy girl no sooner entered the warm parlor titan she fainted. With the strength of excitement, she lifted her in her arms and bore her into an inner room, where, placing her upon abed, she unfastened her dress, bathed her temples and chafed her hands. At length Alta Vennevar again drew her breath. Passing through the hall to procure a restorative, Delicia saw a man just in the act of vaulting upon Joan. It was not Bob, though the saddle had been removed and lay upon the ground; it was a man in a ragged coat, evidently a tramp. With a flash in her blue eyes, Delicia stepped back, and, snatching a silver mounted revolver from a shelf, threw wide the hail-door and tired. The bridle fell from the man's right hand, and Joan three steps beyond the gate stopped. To Delicia's surprise, the man in stantly dismounted, and, turning quickly toward her, lifted his hat. " l am effectually stopped, young lady ; but, believe m. I did not intend to steal your horse, and certainly left an equiva lent, though now in sorry condition." Bewildered still more by the courteous words and cultured tone, Delicia turned in the direction tho stranger pointed with his left hand, and saw within the yard a dusty buggy and panting horse. "I am trying to overtake my young sister, who has eloped with a scoundrel, said the man, w ho was both young and handsome, "and my horse broke down hopelessly just before I reached your door. Otherwise, in less than an hour I should have probably overtaken my sister before she was married and her life ruined. So near the object of my long and desperate drive, I could not be balked of its object for want of ajiorse. I knocked three times at your door, in tending to beg or hire yours, which I saw, fresh, standing at the gate, but for some reason I could summon no livine being. Knowing that my horse was more than equal yours in value, though now almost killed by hard driving, I re solved to take him, and. after overtak ing the man who is running away from me, to instantly restore yur property to you; but" with a little bitter laugh u you have effectually prevented that. I think I am bleeding to death." His voice closed faintly; the blood was spurting from his wrist. He sank upon the step at her feet. Delicia's cheek grew white, for she knew the danger of that terrible bleed ing. Unless it were stopped, the man would in a few moments be dead. Springing to the side of the now unre sponsive stranger, who seemed unable to utter another word, she snatched her handkerchief from her pocket, and tying it about the wounded arm, in serted a stick picked from the ground, thus making an effectual ligature, and, to the abatement of her terror, saw the fi isrhtful jets of blood subside. The stranger's white face, the deluge of red blood, the sudden relief from spurring terror, turned Delicia faint. Then she struggled hard against a ter rible reeling sensation, ana held her own. She thought wishfully of the glass of cordial upon the hall table, but her feet refused to stir. Suddenly steps sounded at the gate. To her inexpressible joy and thankful ness, Aunt Thankful and Bob appeared. Delicia explained to the former, briefly, though her voice sounded far away to herself. ' Wounded hurt bleeding awfully ! Bob, ride for a doctor fast as you can go!" cried the old nurse, instantly in her element. The wounded man was making visi ble efforts to keep from swooning, but when Aunt Thankful had administered a cordial and bathed his temples in cold water, he rose and walked weakly into the house, where, at her solicitations, he stretched himself pon a sofa, and then unexpectedly fainted. " I don't in the least understand who this man is," remarked Aunt Thankful, steadily applying restoratives, " but such a ragged coat and fine fhlrtl never saw together before. Wanted to hire a horse, did he? What did you shoot him for? Of all strange actions The driving 'of the doctor's buggy into the raru stopped her remarks, when Delicia returned to Alta Vanne var to find her in a wandering delirium. Three strange days were devoted to nursing the invalids. A burning fever made the young girl unconscious. Aunt Thankful's charge was con scious, but very weak and silent.. . In deed," lie seemed to himself to be in a dream half full of delights, but pervaded by a great trouble which he could scarcely name. The radiantly lovely face of Delicia, the rustle of her dress, the sound of ker footsteps pervaded his consciousness like a blessing, while his desperate quest and misfortune were only half-realized by him in the bodily weakness and in action of brain caused by excessive loss of blood. " How long have I been here P" - Delicia sat by him, having taken Aunt Thankful's place for a few mo ments, and started from a momentary absnee of thought to find Guy Van uevnr's eyes fixed piercingly upon her. "This is the fourth day. Are yon better?" " I am not sick, only in a sort of dream which I cannot wake myself from." ' You arc very weak." ' It was vou I saw when I came here, wasn't it P" "It was I who 6hot you," replied Delicia, blushing. "I I remember. Oh, my sister Alta!' trying to rise upon his elbow. " Lie down, please. You must not exert yourself. I have something to tell you," said Delicia. " f have been here four days, you say. Good God! what will become of her?" " Drink this coffee and try to be quiet. Alta is safe." "How can you knowP" "I have her in my care. Wallace Munroe is dead accidently killed." " And they were not married ?'' ' Xo." "Thank God!" And then he asked : " Are you sure of this?" " Entirely sure." He could talk no longer, but was visi bly better in a few hours. The next day, pale, wasted, but strong, in a simple earnestness, he said, quietly, to Delicia : "How wonderfully beautiful you are!" Something in his eyes kindled hers, nnd for the first time in her life Delicia felt within her pure breast the warmth and sweetness of love. Half alarmed by her emotions and the growing power of the beautiful eyes bent upon her, she rose from her place beside him. " You can see Alta to-day, you know, if she is better. I will go and see." Alta Vannevar was better in body, but Buffering in mind. She looked like a living wraith in one of Delicia's long white wrappers, and turned lrom her brother's kiss and sat down in Delicia's lap like a tired child. "Oh, if I could die! I know you love me, Guy ; but you did not love Wallace. And he is dead. Oh, Delicia, you understand you are a woman. I loved him!" Guy Vannevar looked down at the two figures, buried in the great easy chair, the serene woman -jolding the suffering child to Iter bosom, and a look inexpressible filled his soft dark eyes. And Delicia, glancing up, saw It and knew it was for her. I cannot tell you how in a few days these two grew together; but when Guy Yannevar had told her of his po sition as a gentleman and the son of a gentleman, and discarded his disguise, which had facilitated his pursuit of Wallace Monroe, the atmosphere of mystery and suspicion was entirely dis pelled, and as weeks and months brought their developments and occurrences, Delicia realized that the prayer of her secret heart was granted one great and good loved her, and had asked Tier to be his dearly beloved wife. All had come to her love, romance, marriage and happiness; but to-day scarcely less beautiful than of yore, she will tell you that few women add to their history the experience of having shot their husbands, which is hers.
