A TED BIBLE CONFESSION For many a long year I have earned this close locked wiitiin tny heart till it has seared both heart and onrin. After begging and praying for a week they have at la-t allowed inc p n and ink ; here on this untouched w iit paper I can tell all. Alice Walton was my first and only intimate friend. \V e were fast friends from the beginning, for she was of a sweet, guileless and clinging nature. I was naturally secretive strong, self-reliant and somewhat dis posed to dominate those with whom 1 was hi ought in contact, My friend ship for Inr surprised myself qi t o as much as aoy one else, and 1 was quite as muon at a loss to understand it. She was like a lily, fair, s'ender and lovely, with dovelikc eyes and hair like corn silk I was dark us a Spanish girl, with huir like midnight iml lus trous black ey>s, and many an admirer had told mo in the days of my prime that no Spanish giil could compete with my beauty or grace. But they wero not b yond tl c competition of oua fair gir', and she w- n, r : gbt under my fine eyes and in the face of my rich South ern beauty, the only nian whoso love I craved, tho one heart tor which I would gladly havo exchanged my own. When we finally said good-by io each other at school, I made an express stipulation that sho should come and stay a month with mo, after she had first returned home ami remained a week with her ownfiiends I counted tho days till came, for I retdly love I the gill, and longed to share with hor, as a friend, new and delicious joy which she lad never known. A far-'ff cousin of my mother, so far off ns to ho no relation at all had conic in my absence to spend the summer with ti*. Of course l had heard ol him in my letters from home and was somewhat disappointed at the prospect of having him there during Alice’s visit, for hearing him always re ferred to as my mot hoi 's cousin, of course, I fancied him old and gray haired. My sa.isfuctn n equalled my surprise when, Henry Godfrey, I found him to to a young mail of twenty five, handsome, accomplished, gay. good hit morid, in short, my ideal of au elegant, well-bred, refined gentleman. I was pleased enough to call him cousin, anil ns I Icarnol to hnow him better, more than pleasod to remember that ho was ouly a coo do by courtesy, I loved Henry Godfrey. I believed I loved him from the first although I 'lid not then understand my own feeling", and I had but little doubt that he responded to the feeling. He was more than gen tle and kind in his manner. Betides an affectionate regard for me, 1 thought I detected in his manner a certain dcfoi ence which to me. indicu cd tho ten der devotion of the lover 1 knew lie had never c.-r and for any woman befoie lie met me, and knew that I w..s hcuu liful—what woman is unconscious ol her own charms V And so I felt just ified hi believing that Henry Godfrey car'd for me, although no word of love had yet passed between us. I told Al ice nothing of thi", Iri solved my in nocent triumph to he given in cm fi deice during cur first evening together, and though I would have preferred to present Henry us my affianced lover, I quite iutcudcd to confess to her frai sly the love for him which I had siarocly confessed to myself. She was a week later than she bud promised, and came unexpectedly wheu she did corno, ar riving the day hi fore that on which she had told us she was corning. There wan no one to meet her at the station, t ut "lie hud been such a favorite on her previous visits that sho was known to all the neighborhood, aud a neighbor, who hud by chance been at tho stati n when she arrived, (nought her over'to us The first I knew of her arrival was when she ran up to me where I sat with Henry, listening while he toad Tenny son in that fine, rich voiee that hud be come the sweetest music of my life. She tl mg her arms about my neck and embraced und kissed me with childlike enthusiasm I then turned to intro duce her to H nry. He had risen and st< od gazing on lo r With a (ace illumi nated with admiration, such an expres sion bh he had nev r mined on me in what I thought his most fervent mo ments of devotion. I turrnd cold all over, and I felt that tho color ha I left my face, but I struggled to retain my composure and prcscuted them to etch other. Then I turned lo look ngaiu more closely at her. Her gaze met his with a sweet frankness that half re flected Ids admiration, aud the pink in her checks deepened to a blush. They would love each other, they dil al ready. I saw it aud f< It it then, as well as whi n I finally knew it hy strong passionate and ardent words, ami al ready the daik fires of jealousy con sumed my soul I helped her to un pack her trunk and ,-ort her things and told tto ui away in toe bureau drawers i or lung them up in the closet as re quired, hut 1 spoke uo wold of the te i , ucr confession ol my love for Henry, which I hail been h aging to tell her 01. neither then or any time. In vei spoke of it. Tho days glided by fast 1 uough yet iu mi cry they nf'en drag. But my heart and brain were on fire, my thoughts (lew wildly in every direc tion, and were so constant that 1 seemed always bu>y One evei-i ig in the twi light, before the lights were brought in, l sat sad and wretched in cur great long parlor, in a deep armchair iu a corner of the room, besides being con cede 1 in the Henry and Alice entered from the garden where they had been walking among tho roses for the past hour. I was too listless md miser. ble, besides being horribly jealous to caro whether I played the eavesdropper or not, so laid quite still, although knowing it would bo listening to al l or let -a-te “Bu’, Henry,’’ said Alice, apparently cci.tiauing a conversation, “I thought when l saw you two together, that first •lay l came, that you aud Evelyn wore l vers ’ 11 Wo ha vs never been so my darling: You are my first and only love.” I think ho drew her to him then and kissed J her. Of course ho did, though l could not see them f>r my choir was turned from them and I dared uot move. Presently Alice sj>'ko again ; ‘Of course it is fortunate for me, Henry, dear tha' you should prefer my poor benuty to Evelyn’s, hut yon know 1 can scarcely undersiaud how any man can know her well und see hor constantly without falling in love with her.” “Well, bivecthcart, if I had ever known her well enough not to feel afrai.l of her and grovn no :u ustmned to her stylo of beauty perhaps it is just possible 1 might have fallen in lovo with her, it I ha 1 'never seen von, niy darling." The b'ood seem .1 to rush back upon my hear* and then surge up into my brant, lh.ro wa" a ringing in my oars, and 1 1 card no more. When oon -e onfoess returned they were gone, but 1 had heard-enough—too much. Till those last words of Henry’s, I had tried to bear my misery bravely in dumb despair. But now, those words from him let loose a fury in me, I had tint hated her till now, hut I hated her from that moment. The moon had risen and was flooding the world outside with silvery light, when Al ee camo into tho room, and approaching me gay Iv, said : •Do come down to the luke. Wo can have a lovely row hy moonlight, for [ promised not to go to bed till Henry came back, so 1 could sav good-night again,” she added, blushing brightly, “lie has eon-3 to tho town with yout brother. They must be back soon, but wo might have time for a row on tho lake before they arrive—do come.” 1 rose without a word, wound the scarlet scurf on the back of iny chair around my hea l uud neck and prepared to acconi[ any her. Tho lake was less than ton minutes’ walk from tho house, and all the way there she kept up sue i a run of 'unless talk that she didn’t | notice that I hid scarcely spoken at l all. When we had launched iho little j boat and jumped hto her, of course 1 I did all ihu rowing, for tho delicate j snowflakes of hands that held her nars j merely toyed with their work. But I S bent to mine with a will and dicing strong and muscular although only a slight girl, we ware soon far out on tho water. When we woro ucarly across my companion said : I "livelyc, do you know tho pcnp| 0 sin ut here say this like is bottom| cßß just half way ueross ? Isn't it absurd a little lake like this? ” ‘ Yes, but it’s terribly deep, and wc are directly over the spot now which | tho country folks declare goes right through to llio other side of tho world. “llow perfectly ridiculous- just as if that was possible. But don’t Icun over in that way, Evelyn. The lako is deep enough to drown us, even if it doesn’t go quite to tbo other sine of the world. “What nonsense, Alice. When I bathe hero I oft ri swim as far out as this and buck again just fur exorcise.” ‘ Very likely, my fair Amazon, but as j I can’t swim, I prefer not to take my J badi so far from tho shore —ah!’’ A loud shriek from Alice as I bent j still further over, and tho next moment we were struggling in the water, and | the bout flouted from us, bottom tip ' ward. I thought for one moment I saw I her white face above the watir, and in ibe next instant it was gone, and though I ihiuk I regretted my act as soon as it was accomplished, I cool I do nothing to save her, Jiut I shrieked for help. My brother and Henry, who tiad just arrived at the edge of the lake, plunged in and swam to our assistance. With great difficulty 1 presently lost con sciousness—they brought mo to land. But from that hour no mortal eyo has looked upon her.
