AS IT MIGHT BE SUNG.
They said when he sane that his volet- wast
furco,
That every note falsely was rung;
Yet, I saying nothing,-did listen entranced,
; As though to uu angels sweet tongue;
^ For I heard not the song that 'twas sung tha
dayHut
the song as it might he sung.

You forgot, of course, Join

Half an hour later Ivittie ha(
rly completed her toilet
ly r? tored .iiiiiioi so*
> humming a favorite air whei
Aunt, a gentle, dignifi- d look
; lady, entered the room, am
Ug ii]> to h< r niece claspi d :
klace of beautiful workman

but 'tis liore to me tlian voi

And before Ivittie could rep]

veil one evening: that she could
ot wear what w .- thus treasured
Hut something -a- oned to hole
Tier back, and she sn,.?l where hei
Aunt had left her, soliloquising
"So Auntie lias loved ! And thin
beautiful thine was ? gift from n
lover who was killed in the war!'
And a great wave of pity surged
*ver her heart lor the woman win
tad so often Intoned to the sor
rows of others, yet never told hot
>wn. Again she decided not tf
wear the trinket, but, as she look
ed into the glass it seemed toj
k sparkle a wish to ho worn and
admired, and she forgot everything,
saving that what she had
t so coveted was hers for a time at
least. Unclasping it gently (for
she had not yet reached that
point of her toilet where she was
ready for it) she laid it in her
jewel case.
Before she was ready there
was the sound of the tramp of
* feet, and of voices calling up the
stairway to her. It had hoen ar
I ranged that the young piople
r were to meet at Kiltie's home.
> and go from there to the party in
, true country style?in a wagon
( lined with straw. Some of them
. had already arrived, and the girls:
[ ran to our heroine's ; >m. from
I ' which tin ? unceremoniou Iv drag !

, i i?() ? 111 1iw iiii*
t They soon took t lieir dopartur .
[ and their voices echoed and re
echoed in laughter and song as
, thc.v rode through the woods, on
,* their way to the scene of festivity,
i It was a merry group of girls
I that ran lightly up the stairs to
take oil'their wraps, and put a
I' lew finishing touches to their toil;
ets when the place of destina1
lion w as reaehed.
ri Hut all laughter suddenly ceased
? when Kit tie exclaimed : )h,
, girls, it is h?st ! Auntie's necklace
is lost 1"
In vain they searched the wagi
on in which she had ridden : in
I vain some of the young men
, went with lanterns, over the road
, they had come, oven to the spot
s I from which they had started. It
j- j was no where to he found.
?! Am! she, poor child, got through
tlio time as ties! -lie could, long
, | ing and yet dreading for the time
I to come in which to return home,
ti When at last the party broke up
i j she returned, not as she had come,
r but with llarrv Mlmoie, who had
I come alone. K.re they parted a lit
1 tie misunderstanding, which had
fj existed between t hem for months.
I was righted, and they parted
t more than friends.
As Tom had said she looked
e well enough without the necklace
II ?ah, the necklace ! She had almost
forgotten it hi her happiI
tiess.
Without hesitation she entered
e her aunt's room, expia ting to iind
i: her asleep, and dreading what
-itlio awakening must bo. Instead,
II she found her sitting by the open
iio.| window, the soft rays from tho
; moon falling on her upturned
; face ami uneonfined hair.
Auntie," .ni l the girl, in a
11 voice that trembled somewhat,
i1 * I Isavo lo t your necklace."
r "i know if. Kittle." Know it?
. How couM you know, and bo so
- "juiot ? Why don't you funio and
fret, as Tom would f Why don't
you do anything rather than si;

I j expected it all the t ime : ! know
jit?' I Tow do you know if ?"
II Sit here, child, and let me tell
. j you. I. too, have a confession to
11 make," and she smiled sadly.
' Alter I left you to-night I could
. not. lorget now origin aim happy
von looked when learning you
i might wear the necklace, and 1
' I reproached myself for my selfish.
I ness for what, viewed from a new?
or and better standpoint, seems
a trillo. I thought to myself: 'As
I am too old to wear it, and youth |
>; loves pretty things, why not give!
jit to 1 he little girl ? It shall be j
/
<
hers, and no longer hidden from'
ad in i ring eyes because he who
gave it is dead. Why do we put
away such things, I wonder, denying
them to our living ones, to
whom they could give such pleasure,
and keeping them sacred because
of the dead, to whom they
are nothing ?' Thus was I thinking
when 1 saw several lights
coming down the road. They
came nearer and nearer, and by
and by I heard and recognized
j voices, and knew the boys were
I looking for something. When
they stopped in front of the gate,
! and one of them said : kTis no use
j to look further; this is where
Miss Kiltie got in,' the truth as
| to what was lost Hashed across
my mind. At first I was angry
at what seemed such carelessness!
'on your pari, hut soon !* It that
after all. it was .just punishment
' for my greater sin of selfishness, i
though before I had not looked
upon if as such.

And lvitlie, kneeling with her
| face in the lap ol this woman so
jolten misunderstood l?y her. subj
hed aloud. Not because of the
loss of toe treasured jewel, hut
from sorrow at her own injustice,
( and short siglitedness.
i They soon parted for the night. |
' tho younger feeling that without
knowing it. she had dwelt under
the roof all her life with one posi
sessed of nohle s|renalh.
When she had gone to Iter re on.
and opened her jewel ease to put

I her own eyes? After taking it

with a little hysterical laugh:

"No. take it to vour own room,
