But I found no fault with i it I never dreamed of gainsaying a | word he said, except where it was neces- | sary for me to set him right; that I did honestly, though with a heavy heart. “I wish I could tell him so,” I said sadly, disengaging myself from his em brace and standing sorrowfully before him. “But that's impossible. I have been a foolish, miserably thoughtless girl and have brought suffering upon | myself and him, and, worst of all, on I you. You’ll hate me when you know i the truth, Frank. Long before you came back I was engaged to Mr. Carson —seriously—and with papa's consent, and—and— we’re .o be married—in about six months” My voice broke down, and I hid my face in my hands. He never answered a word. Presently the silence became unen durable, and I looked up. “Speak to me, Frank!” I cried, terri fied and heart stricken. “If it is only to reproach me, speak to me!” “Do you mean this?" he asked slowly. 1 could only sob and weep for answer. “You have tieen playing false to the man you are to marry and making a jest and a fool of me—of me, who trusted and loved you!” He paused for an answer, but I made none. His tone grew deeper and more angry. “1 am glad to know the truth at last. I have been deceived; yon are not the girl I thought you—not at all the sort of woman I should wish to marry. Mr. Carson need fear no rival in me—I don’t envy his prospecti. And as this inter view is not of the pleasantest, and 1 might if I remained longer forget that I am talking to a young lady—good after noon.” And raising his hat, with a slight, quick bow, he turned and disappeared down the lane, while 1 sank down among the long grass and weeds, weep ing bitterly and feeling as if all the hap piness and brightness of life were over, and all its care and pain and misery just begun. 1 felt quite sure of it two months later, when, after a brief and sudden ill ness, poor dear papa died. “Don’t put off your marriage, child," had been his earnest and often expressed wish, and he had even written Alfred to the same effect before he died, and “keep little Eddie always with yon,” he whispered almost with his parting breath. So that when Alfred's letter came—kinder and more affectionate than usual (he hail been rather a negligent correspondent of late), in which he regreted his inability to attend the funeral, but spoke of papa’s wishes as to onr marriage, and an nounced his intention of coming down in a fortnight to make all necessary ar rangements, it was with a feeling of sor rowful relief that I reflected: “I shall be able to obey papa’s wishes at least; and Eddie's happiness will be seenrod, even though I have destroyed my own. Father and mother were dead, and F.ldie and I—poor little 10-year-old E<1- di»—were orphans, all alone in the world. To be sure we had an aunt, my father’s Bister, living in New York, and an un cle, mother’s only bother, far away in England; bnt Aunt 8. imerville was rich and very proud. During papa’s lifetime she had not cared to be intimate with us. I was not going to seek her after his death. She had not even rttended the funeral, but had written a cold, informal letter instead, in which she asked no questions as to how we two were to be provided for, but washed her hands of all responsibility in the politest manner possible. As to Uncle Edward Gray (after whom Eddie had been named) I had never seen him, but mother had al ways spoken of him witheo much ten derness and affection that I felt sure he was good and kind, and would gladly have appealed to him for protection and advice, in the first loneliness of my be reavement, if I could only have discov ered where to write to him. Papa had left us the pretty cottage wo lived in, and after the funeral was over and everything was settled I found we had nearly $100 in money besides. And I was engaged to Alfred Carson, had been engaged to him for more than a year, ami Alfred was prospering well and was the kind of a man who was sure to get rich some day, so there was no fear for Eddie or me. This thought for the sure and safe pro vision of the child's wants reconciled me to the idea of my intended marriage us nothing else could have done. There should have been nothing needed to rec oncile me to an engagement I had made of my own free will and wish, but there was. certainly was. 1 had formed an engagement when 1 was little more than 16—too yonng and giddy to know my own heart rightly. Alfred had been visiting some neighbors of oure and had fallen in love with me. He was handsome and had that air of superiority to ns yonng country folks which a knowledge of a city and city life somehow gives. Of course he was iny first sweetheart. His preference, very plainly shown, flattered me extremely; my girl friends envied mo—I admired him; his liigh ways and fashionable clothes and expe rienced, world wise air and manner—in short, I believed myself deeply in love: and when, with my consent, he spoke to papa, and jiapa found him in every way a desirable match for me, we were for mally betrothed, with the understand ing. however, that we should not be married until I should reach the age of 18. In the mean time Frank Snowden- dear old Frank, who had been my fa vorite chum and playfellow and cham pion wlien I was a little child—came home from Enrope, where he had been sent to be educated and where he had remained for seven years. “O'd Frank” I called him always, because he was so much older than myself, I being but 10 when he went away, while he was 17, and now, while I was just turned 17, he was near 25. I thought myself the hap piest girl in (he world when Frank came homo. For a time, that is—for a time. Al fred was in the dty; he wrote to me quite frequently, but he had not paid me a visit for nearly three months. Somehow l did not seem to miss him, or to care for hie long absence, or to think about the matter at all. Frank and 1 went together every where. No one said anything to him about my engagement—it was not gen erally known, indeed; and besides we were such old friends; almost like broth er and sister, probably no one thought anything of our intimacy. 1 intended to tell him myself. Each time we met 1 resolved to tell him. but something al ways kept back the words. 1 felt asliamed, afraid, grieved about it, but all the same 1 kept the knowledge from him. It was not fair to such an old and valued friend, I knew; it was not quite fair to Alfred either, perhaps, though I cared less about that, and still, while every day I resolved to give him my con fidence, every day I deceived him anew, until at last something happened that brought out tbs truth in spite of me. It was on a certain summer afternoon that I had walked down to the postoflice to mail some letters for papa, and be thought me to ask whether there were any for me. Just as I made theinquiry, who should come up but Frank, and having imprisoned both my hands in his own, took the missive the postmaster held out and handed it to me. It was from Alfred, and as Frank’s eyes invol untarily caught sight of the masculine handwriting a look of surprise and re sentment crossed his face. He released my hands, and walking along by my side bent upon me a sternly questioning glance, beneath which my eyes fell guiltily and I felt my cheeks burn red. “I wasn't aware that you corresponded with gentlemen,” he said presently, in an icy tone. I couldn’t answer. I hadn’t a word to say. My heart swelled up in my throat and almost choked me. In that one mo ment I realised the mischief my half un intentional deceit had done; in Frank's angry, jealous eyes and cold, indignant tone I saw and heard the truth that he loved me; and the swelling joy of my own heart at the discovery—even in the midst of my shame and fear—told me another and still more startling truth that I loved him. If we had been in any private place 1 think I should almost—upon the impulse of the moment and under the influence of my penitence and love—have gone upon my knoes to him to ask his pardon, but wa were in the main street of the village. When we had turned into a quiet, shady lane he said, not quite so harshly aa before: “Will you tell me who sent you that letter?" I’ve often thought since how curious it was that I never once, in my innocent soul, disputed his undoubted right to question me or dreamed of further de ceiving Mm. There had been no word of love between ns, and 1 was the promised wife of another; but I stood like a criminal before his lawful judge, and prepared to give an account of my self to the only man whom my heart acknowledged as her master. “Tha letter is from Mr. Alfred Car- son,” 1 said almost inaudibly. “A—Sr— gentleman—to whom I" I had intended to say bravely, “to whom 1 am engaged,” bnt catching a glimpse of Ms stern, pale face my cour age failed, and I substituted, “to whom I—writ* occasion ally" mine, and we stood for one moment looking into each other's eyes. He was leaving me, the man 1 loved perhaps forever. A thought flashed through my heart-I would not lose him! I put the card he had given me into my bosom. “1 ehall need it some day," 1 said. He caught me in his arms. “Good- by. he said; “never send for me unless yon really need me; I could not bear to see you that man’s wife! Not that l envy him, for you don’t love him; you are treating him worse than me! Good- by forever P' After he was gone 1 cried a littie while, but lees bitterly than before. There was a gleam of hope in my heart that comforted me. That evening 1 de voted to dear little Eddie; next morning I wrote a long, long letter—the longest and most serious I had ever written in my life—to Alfred Carson. I waited for the answer with feverish impatience: 1 went down to the post- office every afternoon. One afternoon as 1 was returning, dispirited and sad, from a fruitless quest I saw him standing in our garden waiting for me. He had brought me In person a reply. Every one should use P. P.

Pr One mouth later saw a change indeed. I rented the cottage—it made me too sad to stay there without papa—for $30 month; and with that sum in my posses sion, together with what remained of my hundred dollars, came over to New York and took two nice little rooms for Eddie and 1 to keep house in. Then 1 took Frank s card of address, and wrote upon it my own and the words, “1 need yon," and pnt it in an envelope and sent it to him. That very evening he came. He was evidently very ranch surprised and puzzled. “What does this mean?” he said, almost before he greeted me. “What are you doing in town? Why have yon sent for me?" I answered very quietly and demurely, I managed to appear calm and self pos sessed, though my heart beat as if it would choke me. “I have sent for yon because I need a friend. Frank. I want you to put me in the way of getting something to do. The rent of onr cottage is not enough for us to live upon, though it helps, and—my marriage is broken off.” He sat down beside me instantly and took my hand—an expression of indig nant scorn was on his face. "Poor child!” said he; “and was this the fellow for whom you threw me over? Wouldn’t take charge of the poor little boy, I suppose—the mean, contemptible scoundrell” I looked np into his face In surprise. “Whatever are you saying!’ I cried, laughing. “You are not talking about Mr. Carson, surely; he has behaved most kindly.” “Kindly! What do you mean? Hasn't he broken his engagement?” “Certainly not!” with emphasis. “Bnt he has generously released me—at my own earnest entreaty—from a promise which 1 ought never to have made, and which it would have broken my heart to keep. He wasn’t at all unwilling to set me free,” 1 went on while Frank’s arm stole around me, “when I explained to him that I had never really loved him.” “Did you happen to mention to him that you did love somebody else?” Frank asked demurely, while he drew me closer to his breast and my head sank on his shoulder. “Yes,” 1 whispered. “And did he ask yon who his rival was?” he queried. “No," I said; “I don’t believe he cared to know.” “1 care," whispered Frank, bending over me. "There was a time when 1 thought you such a vain, thoughtless girl that I persuaded myself your heart was not worth having, but you have done just what was right by both your lovers, and shown yourself both brave and sin cere. Snch a girl deserves a good man's trust, and however indifferent Mr. Car- sou may be to your regard, 1 know how to prize it. Tell me, my darling, who is it that you do love?” “You, Frank!” 1 whispered, and hid my blushes in his arms. Poor papa’s wishes were fulfilled to the letter, for my marriage was not post poned after all, and I kept Eddie always with me.

I looked up, quite startled; “keep him with mo always—it was papa's dying wish." “Bnt your—your husband may ob- “Then he will never be my husband," I answered, hotly. “Eddie is a delicate child; he would pine and sicken among strangers; I will not marry any man who wishes to take him from me!” He was silent for a time, considering; then he said, “I don’t see that I can •erve yon in any way at present, nor perhaps ever; but I will leave you my addreaa in tho city.
