look upon than she. in l.er fresh and
innocent git lissom.
1 could but sigh a: I looked at her,
so happy, so unconscious of pain.
You will be sorry.’ I repeated. '
you invite Bessy Nordleigh here just
now.’
‘I na sure,’ pouted Ruth, in pre¬
tended petulance, ‘you pay your niece
a very poor compliment, if you think
the first beautiful woman he sees will
win from her the heart of her lover.’
‘jPhilip it a notorious flirt,’ I said.
4 Was aunt,’ responded Ruth, good
humoredly. Her faith in her lover was
not to be shaken.
It was the desire of my life to see my
uiece married to Philip Haines, he son
of an obi and very dear friend, and a
magnificent fellow—handsome, brilliant
high-spirited, and possessing but. one#
fault that amounted to anything. He
was notoriously ficKle in his attach
ments. Every pretty face curried him
captive for the time.
It wantedbut one month of the wed
ding-day. B**ssy Nordleigh was to be
chief bridesmaid, hut that was no reasou
why she should be invited to keep the
lovers’ company a month beforehand.
She came to the Willows the middle
of formed August.'*I »*a' see taller her than yet—a superb¬
ly woman, and shoulders, most, with
a royal poise of head a
luxuriance of reddish brown hair, and
great tawny eyes that gleamed like
topazes one moment and wer« black as
night the next. In her presence, my
slender, pure-faced beside Ruth tall scarlet was like a
snow-drop some heart¬
ed tropical flower.
Philip behaved precisely as I had
prophesied he would, only consi ’erably
more so. In less than a w'ek he was
more infatuated vv th Bessy than he had
been with RullL -The wonder was that*
Ruth was so unconscious of it.
Boating, ridi g, wa king, it was Bes¬
sy Nordleign upon whose glance and
smile Philip Haings hung, as though
therein had dwelt, some magical elixir.
I said nothing of this to Ruth. What
go.' l coiibl ii do, now th t woman was
hero ? Ruth was happy; w y should I
break in upon her dream with my fore¬
and bodings! while There was time enough;
there was life there was
those tw were left alone. 1 dare
say it was not the first tmne they had
been alone. People who are fond of
each other lin l ciumces somehow of
saying <i word, without all the world
to hear. But as I came up the,walk
this evening, 1 saw that the dtawing
room was dark, and that the smallest
gAmmer ofligfit shone from the library,
With involuntary misgiving, I went

j ef8 vvere aolttze and that ruined low,
but eroupiug as near as I dared, and
keeping in the shadow of the trees, I
could see, in the twilight of the dim
room, Philip Haines sitting upon some
cushions at Miss Nordleigh’s feet, with

j eye* her bt*uutifnl lustt nud face. in a breathless if glow hand upon

| slowly threading the lock* that fell over
his white Forehead. Aud while 1 look¬
ed, l saw her bend her stately head,
| and put her lips again and again upon
his lace.
It was mean and cowardly, I felt, to
hide there and watch them, but a terror
had come upon me h st these two were
going' to give us all the slip at last,
without a word ol warning, and I
thought I could never bear the disgrace
ot that. So I waited, with my heart
throbbiog guiltily, hoping to catch
some word that woulu be a clue to the
truth. Chance favored me.
They rose presently, and sauntered
out into the shaded walk.

Bessy Nordleigh’s silken skirt
almost touched me, as it trailed by over
the damp stones of the walk.
I rose up after she had passed me,
and went in somewhat tranquilied.
I had heard her say, in those sweet
and measured tones of hers, ‘I shall
never How marry should any I one, Philip.’

refused to marry him, she was endeavoi

her will to his, which made* him trifle
so recklessly with her. lie used to
bang over Ruth when Miss Nordleigli
was in the room, caressing her so opeuly
as io cause her deli ate face to tingle
with blushes, while Miss Nordfeigh
turned white with jealous chills.
Something of what Bessy Nordleigh
endured in those days vfre gathered af¬
terwards, from fragmentary jottings in
her journal, but no human being could
ever guess all.
Wednesday, Philip and Ruth twelve were, to be married
at o’clock precisely
and take the cars north at. one. ‘ 1 u
Neither Philip nor Miss Nordleigh
made their appearance at breakfast, but
no alarm was excited on that account.
It was not the first time such a thing
had happened. But when eleven o’-,
elock came with no news of either ol
the delinquents, I began to suspect that
it meant mischief.
I sent Miss Nordleigh’s maid to her
door first, and she brought back word 1
that no response had come to her knock.
I went up then myself, and finding, bv
turning the knob, that the door was
unfastened. I opened it softly, and look¬
ed in. As I suspected, the apartment
was tenantless. Of course the pair had
given us all the slip at last. But to
make sure, I went next to Philip’s door,
and, after knocking tried it. It was
locked. I was considerably excited by
this time, and sent for assistance at
once, and had the door forced. The
others stood back and let me go in first.
But I only managed to stagger across
the threshold, and stop, clinging by the
door" post.
They were Both There. Philip,
dressed a3 on the night be!ore, half re¬
clined upon the bed, his face towards
me. Bessie Nordlei«h dropped upon a
low seat beside him, one bare white arm
over his neck, her face cone aled by her

Voices of Grace-—I t is marvelous
■ nd beautiful to observe how various
r- re the voices of free grace. ‘I am
thirsty, says one. ’Gome to the wa
ters,, she cries.
‘I am hungry,’ says another. ‘Then
eat yo that which is good,’ she says,
‘and let your soul delight itself in fat
ness.’
‘But I am poor, and have nothing to
buy with.’ ‘Come buy wine and
without money and without price.’
‘Wc are weary,’ sigh the laborers in
the sun-beaten fields. ‘Come unto Me,’
breathes her answer like a breeze from
the waters, and 1 wi 1 give you rest.’
‘Cast thy burdens on the Lord, and He
will sustain thee,” she whispers to the
pilgrim ready to faint on the
‘Behold the fountain,’ she cries to the
guilty ; ‘the fountain opened for sin and
nut-leanness.’
