Something which uiiset liis pride
wonderfully and maybe did him a
little good, tor the next time he
met Marion he was certainly more
respectful to her. Well, Aleck
was a lucky fellow the people said
all except Felix, iri whose heart a
growing hate for his good-looking
rival came, that, grow stronger and
took firmer hold every day, al
though ho protended to bo Aleck’s
warmest friend.
But now something had happen
ed that made pretty Marion Jntjd-j

homo from' Mrs. Gi-oyson’s party
when vhy heard a voice that wile
dearer to her than all others, in a
loud dispute. Sin/ leaned forward
and told the coaohnmn to drive
slower it was such a lovely night
she was in no hurry to got homo.
The man obeyed, and Jlurion put
her frightened head out of the car
riage window and lopked at the
men, one Steadying the other, who
was evidently intoxicated. The
seller one was Felix D’aroy, the
other—Good Heavens, not Aleck
Prescott? As the siokening truth
forced itself upon Marion, she lean
ed back on the cushions almost

Marion did not often return
homo from parties alone, but
Aleck, had .told'her that, lie had
some urgent business to attend to
am) would not,bo aide to see her
home. So she bad refused the
many offers, prolerring to bu by
herself to-night.. She needed no
company, and was only happy in
tho thought that Aleck loved
her.
But how all wnfl ohangod. She
was .angry that she hod not found
out his fault before. Of course
she would never marry him now.
Her reverie wob interrupted by the
coachman opening the carriage
door and saying respectfully.
“Ymvure homo, Miss Morion.”
Sho recalled her scattered senses
like one in a dream. Sho went
hurriedly by the sitting room,
where, Miss Linton always waited
up for, her and where Marion wns
wont to, come in and rehearse all
the ovenihg’s proceedings, into her
own room, and threw herself .upon
the bed, giving Vent to hard, dry
:aobs. But she was not left to her
o\yn reflections long, for Miss Lin

hands.
“Why, Marion, my child, what
is tho mutter ?” she questioned in
surprise.
Illarion..turned her tear-stained
face to'kind, gentle one bending
over her. Hero was help indeed,
for she always went te Miss Linton
with every trouble. So leaning
her goldet head in,lier aunt’s lap,
she told her the whole disgraceful
story. . '
Mirs Linton listened with a
white, shocked fuco, then, when it
was ileue, she .said, smoothing the
from the flushed brew.
"Well dear, this is a sad blow,
but yum-must try your best to save
hitiV.'”
"What can I do auntie ?/'. ririot]
the girl, impatiently.
"You alone can do nothing ;'’
Marion,' hut God with you, yen

"But. would you have me nipvry

shmlderyd-'.;;
“Heaven forbid, my child ; but

“But. wlmt shall I say to him

Then Miss Linton talked to the

again and left her to "Tired Na

Tho qqxt evening Mr. Prescott

down to meet, him with a firm re-

But at la»t it was tho second an

She was in a fever of expecta
