At the close of a mellow antnmn day, a rus- tic bench in the shrubberied lawn of an elegant residence in the suburbs of R-, was occupied bv a couple, conversing seriously even gravely. A voung couple they were; indeed, hardly more than boy and girl, though their faces wore a ’ -r sober expression ipr sixteen and tw^nty- ravuv' one. . . . . The girl bad that peculiarly fascinating style of face that captivates you without your being able to tell what particular feature is so attract ive. Her hair, dark and rippling, was swept back from a high, white forehead. Her eyes were deep and luminous, her lips rosy, her whole appearance indicative of a sweet and , lovely nature. At least so thought Maurice ; Courtney who sat looking into her eyes so earn- j estly this September evening. ■Fanny,’ he was saying, 'there is talk that I am to be sent away on business for the firm, and I came here this afternoon to settle a ques tion that has troubled me for some time past as vou well know.

The Doctor came and found that brain fever would likely ensue. ‘Ibis is a poor place for him to be ill at,’ he said looking round at the sick widow and her noisy children. ‘I will send the car riage and take him to our house. ’ Fanny an swered eagerly, ISo Maurice was re moved te a cool large room- in beautiful Maple Home, and Fan ny and Fred nursed him, as seldom was a sick man nursed be fore. For days he hov ered between life and death, then one day he tell into a natural sleep and when he opened his eyes again, their glance though wonder ing and wild, had not the stupor of unconsci ousness or the madness of delirum in their ex pression. Where am I ? What has happened ?’ he ask ed of the physician, whose face was the only one he saw, for Fanny had drawn back from the bedside. Doctor Dale told him briefly, that >>“ H-- 4 < nerj iiiou 'item ■ x»o*-- tor I want you to let me leave here directly. I will not stay here.’ Dr. Dale was aston ished, butFanny made him a sign to withdra w and he softly stole^ out of the room. Then Fanny came forward. ‘Maurice’ she said in low, tender tones. He turned his large, hollow eyes upon her. ‘That face !’ he said shuddering. ‘It .w a »' that face that ruined me ! That made me lose heart for work, or care for my own life, or health—that made I me a wanderer, a reck less, hopeless man. Fanny Farie, how can you stand there and look at me hxe that, w-hen vou have done me such wrong?’ ■ Maurice, I u ave never done you all the wrong you think, t Teased you I know; m the old days, but 1 cared for you in spite of it.
