.1. w.. wcrc 3 pjen<liil, and Amy was right;
; nnd when the said hu wan very
r ' ' mlicit lu love with me, site was
: right, too.
i Blit Charlie Constant had been
courting mo for some time, and ho
proposed that evening, when he
followed me into father's study,
where I went to get some music. 1
remember just what he said—tho
very words.
“Rose, you are the prettiest girl
I know. May I have you?”
I laughed and said, “Yes, if
mother and father are willing.”
And he kissed me.
Later on, when Madame Vino
was playing a wonderful piece, all
trills and quavers and crashes.
Doctor Uatcia got mo to himselt
in a quiet corner, and did the same
thing. What he said was, “I love
yon belter than my life, I wish I
thought you liked ntc enough to
be my wile somoday.”
And, in spite of wbat had just
happened, a real pang pierced my
heart.
How he could look at me, and
what a deep, soft voice he had 1 I
bad hard work to answer just us I
did: ... ...
“Oh, Doctor Garcia, I do like
you, but I’m engaged to Charlie
Constant.’’
But then, who could blame me
for my choice? Mr. Constant was
old Archibald Constant's ouly son
—rich, handsome, accomplished—
al. that men envy; nnd Doctor Gar
cia wan poor, hud his way to light
in the world, and was not hand
some. Good? Oh, yes. 1 know
that well; but all the girls envied
me Charlie Constant. Yes, 1 said
that quite quietly, and lie look my
band and said:
“God bless you; I hope you will
be happy.”
He went away, aud 1 did not seo
him for a long time. Charlie
brought me a ring next day, and
we were to bo married on my sev
enteenth birthday.
What a pleasant year it wns! It
passed like u dream, nnd mid-win-
[ ter came again, and the week Ire-
fore my wedding was a full moon.
Wo Imrl planned a glorious ride
ten miles through the country
roads. Charlie nnd l were to
gether, of course. We drove two
new horses that day—animals that
cost hint a fortune, and were splen
did creatures, though very nervous
nnd Imrd to handle. But I was not
easily frightened then, I did not
I know what fear was. I could not
icmember ever having been hurt in
all my life. . 1 had never been ill or
! unhappy.
We flew over the ground, until
i we cume near a roek dcclevity

icicles growing in confusion along
the sides. One branch fell as wc
dashed along. It frightened tiic
horses. They swerved; the vehi
cle turned over; that’s *11 I know
about it. Afterwards I came to
| myself down on the rocks, horri
bly hurt and cold—so cold I could
no‘t stir, aud I knew I freezing to
death. v
I did not know wlml had hap-1
petted to Charlie. Perhaps he was |
king near me, dead. Tim sun was i
going down, and lar up above I
•aw the bank over wliicb I bad fall
en. I thought of mother and fatti
er and everybody, and It seemed
very Imrd to die. Ob, Charlie
must be dead, i thought, ■ r he
would have come down to nn. It
was all a kind of dream by that
time, but just as the last red gleam
faded away I saw a matt coming
down tbe rock. A rope was around
bis waist and a stall In his hand.
He came nearer and nearer, and at
last he was beside me.
It was not Charlie; it was a big
ger man than be.
“Is it father?” I asked, through
my frozen lips.
“No,” was the answer—“no, dar
ling! father la up on the rocks
there. It is I”—and I knew it
was Doctor Garcia.
I don’t know how he got me up,
but bo did it somehow. I Usd faint
ed. I wsb in a little roadside tav
ern, in bed between blankets, ach
ing in every limb, but at least not
out !n that Icarful cold. I heard
father tell Doctor Garcia lie had
saved my life, and I trietl to thank
him. And it was mother who told
me Charlie was safe. I bad not
dared to ask.
Afterwards I found that tbe
horses had run away, and the rest
of the party had gone on knowing
nothing of the accident; and that
Mr. Charles Constant bad arrived
at my father’s in a farmer’s cart, to
tell them I was lying dead at the
bottom of “Tho Great Delf.”
“1 should only have killed my
self if I’d gone alter her,” ho had
Baid, “even if I had not been so
bruised and hurt.”
That was true enough, and I did
not biamo him, although I thought
that I, wonts n as I was, would have
got to him somehow. But, you sec,
I called him Mr. Constant. He was
never Charlie to me again. \
I Imd been very much hurt, and
after weeks and weeks had passed
away I began to know that.I was
notlikelytobe myself again.
I asked Doctor Garcia to tell me
the truth.
“Could you bear it if it were so?”
he asked.
“I begin to think we can bear
anything,” 1 said; “and you need
not suy any more.”
After that, the next day, I sent
for Mr. Constant. I don’t want to
tell you what passed, but when he
went away lie had ray ring again,
and 1 knew he had never loved me.
It was very hard to bear—very,
very hard; but, ns I said, we can
bear anything that can befall us.
Bummer came slowly. When it
was warm, I began to sit up again,
and to try to knit a little; and then
Doetor Garcia began to tako. me out
for a ride. He used to lilt me in
and out of his little carriage like a
baby, and ho petted me like one. I
am sure he spent half his fees in
buying books for me. He was the
only one of the young men who
troubled themselves about me now,
and do you wouder I began to love
him? 1 used to cry to think I had
not felt in that way when I dared
hope to make a man happy by lov
ing him. Ifhe could doalloftbisout
of pity, what would ho not do for
love. It never came into my mind
that anybody could love me now,
until ene evening he come and told .
me so.
“More than ever, darling!” he
said. “More than ever!”
1 nestled up against him, and hid
my laco un his shouldor and orled
like a baby.
“I ought to say no.” I said.
“What good am I to unybody?”
liiithe kissed me—oh, how he
kissed me! And he told me I
was more to him than anything else
the world could give; and then I
told him be wns to me, for indeed,
indeed he was!
1 f 1 could only walk about as I
used," I said, “and look pretty and
lie useful again! 1 am ashamed to
you this helpless little me.”
oil are always pretty,” he an
swered; “always, always!"
lint I felt lie did not hope I
should walk. The fall hnd para-
li/.ed nty limbs,you see.
Mother put me tu bed that night,
as usual, and 1 lay awake for hours,
thinking of him, and longing for
health nnd strength to be of use to
him who loved me so. And, Amv,
such a strange tiling happened! In
the middle of the night I thought
that I awoke and a beautiful wo
man stood near tbe bed. I looked,
but felt no fear, and she smiled at
me, and then a sense ot relief came
over me I never had experienced
bofore.
Doubtless it was all a dream; but
when I did awake, ( felt that some- .
thing had bappeqed to me. Tbe
numbness was gone; I could move,
and from that moment I began to
feel well.
I am almost as strong as ever
now. Though I know I am not
so pretty, and perhaps I shall never
be; but I suit Doctor Gracia, and I
am conteut—nay, I am more than
that— thankful and happy beyond
al! the power of words to tell; and
I sit here looking at tbe liver,* and
thinking that to-morrow will be my
wedding day. I honestly believe
no living woman can be so blest os
Doctor Gracia’s wife; and my hon
est prayer is that I shall be worthy
of him and Ills love.
