a thread of gold .now—asking her to

“For,” said he, “i’ll never come back
till I can offer you a name and a liome.

When the first letter came addressed

“There, there, mother, let the girl
write to him if she wants to; she won’t
do huu any harm, an * I can trust her
for a true Alien not to go far out of

So the matter had dropped, and for

without comment; then they ceased sud¬

seem more like an unpleasah't dreajn than
a:rcali%.w£an tT»o news of M'lil’s jetura

came, awalceni-ng memories of otlier

For §nce Mr. Allen was weatherwise.
Th-’ show had fallen through the night,
covering'the earth as with a mantle, the
feathery flakes contin\icd to come lazily
down until just before 12 o’clock, then
there;was a rift in' thc western sky, arid
when tho old yellow sleigh stood. nt

ever.

Robin was in excellent spirits, aud Mr.

the vilingq post office,,, that the distance
never scorned so short:-
“Draw the robe close around you, dar¬
ter, and don’t get -tired waiting. I’ve
got to bargain tj ith Sam Chase about
that stove, but I’ll be quick as I can;
then we’ll drive down'.to Burnham s and
get tho book you mentioned.” M.ith this
and an eSttrii p,ill 'to Robin’s blanket, Mr.
Alien wns gone.

to read the date when a gust of wind

it at the feet of a gentleman who was
passing.

She felt that she must vindicate
herself, and her answer• came full and
clear: * *
“Iiust found it in the ohl sleigh* ‘

lie glanced again at the letter; it
must be the same one; he knew the date
so well. The tone was almost eager 8
uow -
“You r neversaiv it before, Both! You
did not receive it, my 1 list letter, and
leave it unanswered?”
“Could you doubt me, Will?” She
was looking him in the face now,
“I might have known better, but you
were always so punctual, and when J
received no answer to my last letter, 1
was too proud to write and ask you th: 1
reason. I thought you had given me up
for someone else in B-. Can
you forgive me for my want of confi-
deuce?”
But lie needed not words for answe-t.
When Mr. Alleu came hurrying back
thc sleigh had two occupants, It was
some time before they could explain
affairs to his bewildered, mind,hut when
light began to dawn be exclaimed:
“It was that Jim; lie’s so carebss!
Lost M a letter I for mo once.”
Will was persuaded ,,, to accompany
them home, an I it was a very in Try
trnrtv party that that nurp-isei inpused Mrs. Mrs Allen Alien by t,y their tuur

As soon as possible Mr. Allen hurried
