INEZ’S STORY.
Thc big, old-fashumed , kitchen, . wit li
its sanded floor, and long snow while
pine table, its five muslin draped
(lows, leaping its rows of silver-shining tins, its
Arc tlvat, crackled in the immense
open lireplaee—made a pleasant
to see that cold winter night, and

urn11he of all was his
gentle-faced, gray-liaired old mother.
wlio sat knitting in the shining conier—
and Inez, with her Spanish face and
ll:li,,ty ’
She was u picture—and a mystery. A
picture with her scarlet lips so perfectly
modeled, with her pure, darkly--pale
plexion, with her dusky hair full ot pur
-hring flame slept, and the heavy-lashed
lids drooped demurely over them-de
ninrely, because Inez was only a girl of
fourteen, who had not yet awakened knowledge to
a sense of lier capabilities or a
of her wondrous beauty.
A mystery—from tlie hour when old
grandfather Granger had found her nest
ling ou her dead mother’s breast out
among the cold wet leaves of a Novcm
her night, nearly fourteen years ago, to
this November night, the fourth mini
versary of her welcome into and adop
tion by the Grangers, whose joys she had
tasted, share and share alike, whose
troubles she had known and endeavored
to lighten, to whom father, mother, son,
she had proved a very jewel, and the
light of the dear old home.
Rufus Granger drew his chair a little
more into the shadow of the corner, and
looked at the girl, as she sat, with a lux
mioiis ease anil repose of maimer, beside
the white pine table, her cheek resting
on her small, perfect hand, from which
closing the homely woolen sleeve fell away, dis
the exquisite wrist and arm.

grave, eyes
ti, e secret of his life ever since lie
could lemeiuber his silent, absorbing
love for the dark-haired, smiling
mouthed, wayward girl, who as little
suspected lier waywardness as the passion
she inspired
Now, as she looked at lier, so sweet,
so gracious in her sweetness, Rufus
Granger wondered if the time ever would
come when, in His judgment, he could
speak his heait to her; wondered, with
a great thrill of hurting pain, if the time
would not soon come when this young
eaglet would tire of the restraints of the
dove-nest, and bid defiance to her keep
ers, and fly away where lie would lose
her.
And right into the painful, bitter fear,
old Mrs. Granger’s placid, motherly
voice came, addressing the ardent-taced
girl at her drawing-hook.
“It’s just fourteen years ago to-night,
dear, since father found you. Did vou
remember it the anniversary ?” "

Busy ever her gleaming, clicking nee

bright, debonair face ; but she looked
