ami tho chimes in the village clmrchtowor
rang out eight o'clock. Their
sound broke a long silence which
liad reij/'ted in in tint room, and the
younc man, fixing his eyes on his
girl companion, spoke horridly.
"I did not know it was so late! I
must be off, or 1 shall miss my train
to town, and my regiment at Tortsmouth,
ami all my chances of getting
^ on in the world. Hut, by Heaven,
Til do even that, if you will only say
to me 'Stay!' "
"Hut I don't say Stay, Jack; 1 say
Go, Go, and God bless you!"
There was u deep tenderness in
her low voice which any man might
have been proud to hear, but, because
she would not grant. him his
wish, you no Marriott found her harsh
and cruel.
"And what's the good of that, if
vdii yourself won't hlvs.s me, Jill?

"Then go and do vour duty, and
prove yourself worthy of me!"
"Hut if you will not promise me
that you will he mine?" he asked
sadly. And Jill went on to answer
him in her sweetest, finest way.

and, till then, you and I are ,oth of

well enough, and 1 daresay you
think you know yours, hut how can
you tell with whom you may fall in
lovo while you are away? You are
only ono-and-twenty now, and I am
almost the only girl you have ever
known. How can you toll what the
world may have to teach you and
show you?"
"( )h, my darling! No one else in
it can ever ho the same to me that
you are!"
"Well, then, if you think so after
three years, I will be your proud
wife. Surely, if we are in earnest,
we can he true to each without any
formal promise to hind us! And, if
wo cannot, then it will he ten times
hotter for us never to have been engaged.
Now, good-bye, Jack," she
added, after a pause. "As you say,
if you stay longer, you will really ho
too late. Good-bye."
"You are so calm an 1 quiet. Ah,
Jill, if you cured as much as 1 do!"
And ho seized her hand and covered
it with kisses.
She was very calm, certainly, hut
for all that, when in another moment
he was gone and there was no one to
see her emotion, she throw herself on
the sofa, murmurinir between her
n
deep sobs; "Oh! my darling, mv
curling! And ho thinks it is because
I do not love him enough. Am I
right to treat him so? Is it wise?"
Was she right? Was it wise? At
any rato she had sent him away from
her. And as he left her that Summer's
evening, a bright, splendid,
perfect knight, whom any fair ladv
mi glit well be proud of, she never
saw him again.
And yet it was because he was so
splendid that sho had refused his
piglings. Jack was the only child
of the squite of the parish, General
Marriott; and Jane Armstrong, once
named Jill by Jack and afterward
universally called so, was the eldest
daughter of the rector. The rectory
garden was bounded on two sides by
the woods around the ball, and, from

depended upon it. It was for
that very reason she wished to win,

all the ud\antages he possessod; his
social position which wou'd introduce
him into the host society; his phvsi

ready wit, which would insure him
friends and admirers wheresoever In
might be; was it likely that he would
always remain true to the everyday
Knghsh girl who with no especial
gifts? Yes, it was likely, dill thought
because she knew something of hi*
character, but it was not certain, foi
he was untried. Let him be tried

should be rewarded by a love as d.iej
as the fathomless sea, as strong at

At the end of two years the oh

now of Jack's welfare, for the hnl

too, the second Afghan war broke
out, and his regiment was sent to the
front.
Those were anxious days for her
when she daily waited at the rector\
gate to meet the old postman who
brought the morning paper, and witl
trembling hands would open it tr
see if any battle had been fought
and what names amoiif' the killed 01
