Up the winding, dusty road, in the early summer morning, moved a soMo.ry figure—a woman's figure draped in rusty black with her faeo partially concealed behind a flowing vail. Sho walked slowly and with an effort, as it her strength scarcely served to tiphold her, her shoulders bent, and her arms hung listlessly beside her; now and then sbepaused io take breath, and sometimes she pressed her hand upon her breast, as if to quiet the throbbings of a palpitating heart. “S-> near—so near,” she mur« mured. “And my courage fails me. Yet he would not know me; he would pass me by. Perhaps hois not here; tho place may be sold, and only strange faces greet ntc—that would bo well, for I may rest awhile then, and sit in the old poich while I drink in with these hungry eyes the oid familiar scenes. Oh, fool, fool that I was! how dearly kavo 1 paid for my madness of that time!'

Tho woman flung back her vail, and the sun shone on a wan, thin face, with pale lips and hollow eyes. Sho loaned upon Iho top tar of the rustic ience, and strained her vision tor ... a better view. “All unchanged,” she muttered. “There is ihc oid arbor and the li iai-bushes, the vines trailing up to the window. Ah, how often have I leaned from yonder sill and broken the blossoms, to twine in my hair! I am glad I came, yet my heart, my poor heart beats nigh to breaking, How strangely I fee!!” She placed her hand on her fore head and gazed about in a puzzled way; if possible, her face had grown whiter. “i believe I am ill,” she thcughi. “The long walk in the sun was too marl, tor mo lam not strong.

I guess,” he said. “She ! looks as if it wouldn’t take much to kill her.

Sho had tho fever, and nothing would quiet her; but when they cat vied hor to ibo little room where tho vine leaves shutout tho sunlight and j laid her between lavender-scented sheets, she seemed to be more eon tent. For days the fever r>li ickon uo man lay there, and all her pas* life was rehearsed; Jerry Aldcn, w a tv-li¬ ing beside her sometimes, learned bow sho bad suffered and how she repented her folly’. Sho woke to conriousncss one day, to sco a quiet, familiar figure seated besido her; one wild look in¬ to tho bearded face, and her own flushed strangely. “You here!” she gasped; “why, where am I—this room—Jerry,ah this is home—your home?” Then she cried softlv, and he made uo effort to comfort her, but the expression of his face was kind Iv. %> “You have been very sick, Bes¬ sie,” ho said, “I am glad thev brought you here.” “Oh, I did not want you to know,” she said weakly; “I thought I would come to sco tho cld place and go away again—and you would j never know. Then il is your home still.” “I never mean to part with it, ’ he said. A low days later she told him the story of her life since she had deserted him “1 was very wicked,’’ she said; “I was discontented, I wanted rich¬ es and fine clothes, and I thought my voice would bring me a fortune. I was pretty then, and that spoiled mo. I left you because you were poor, Jerry, a : d this humble life wearied me.

I j j want to tell you that you are \vc!-l come to stay hero if you wish.” “Here!” sho cried, while a hot flush dyed her thin face. “Why, I i have thought of this and wished— Jerry, you are too kind to me—I would come back as a stranger, a would work daily that this roof m'gbt shelter me—but no. 1 must not, it cannot.” I If ' c looked for an instant into her htec, and read there thnl it was for his sake she refused, that this life ^e onCli left would bo blissful for her now; 1 ut she would not stay to be a shadow 01 . his hearthstone, ‘‘^ c is charitable/' she thought, “Of*aoursc he cares nothing for me! but it is like him to offer this.' Oh, if I dared accept.” “No, Jeri y ,vc will 1,0 happier' apart.” she said, and sighed because he did not urge ° hor farther. . As you say.
