Her t win blossoms, hidden now.

May it cling till life is done,
And lltou know’st wlint heaven is!

The next, day Adam Neele

Ho was a grave, brown-boarded
man of early forty—honesty,good
ness, was stamped in every line of
his plain face. lie was the best
farmer in tho county, and owned
tho model farm of the township.
“Arabella ?” he said, question*

for a moment alone.

“Where did you get that lovely

From Mr. Aston,’’ Arabella
said, quietly.
She did not seem sick, aud did
not speak again. A tremor ran
through Mildred’s delicate limbs
She rested a lmndjipon a chair to
steady herself.
“Will you come down and see
Mr. Neele, Am?’ lie wishes it.”
“No; make my excuses.”
Mildred went dizzily out of the
chamber. She wus not quite her
self when she entered the room
where Adam Neele was.
‘She wishes to be excused.”
‘Mildred, Ibis rich German—”
“He is riot a German.”
“Is lie anything to Arabella ?”
“I do not know. ITo lias given

When she came around to the
arbor where her sister sat, she
sat down wearily.
“Adam Neele lias gone, Am.”
‘•I know it.”

“I prefer marrying hi rich man
and going abroad to marrying a
poor man and spending my life
at Edgctown.”
“But you love Mr. Aston, Am.”
“Love him ? Pooh ! He is
just, a good Matured simpleton.
Adam Neele is just worth I wo of
him. But I shall marry him if I
can. 1 have meant it ever since
he first came here.”
Mildred gave a little cry.
“I don’t love Adam Neele eith

striving to keep up appearances.
We shall all go to pieces soon at
She pulled the ring from her fin
ger and handed it to its owner,
Leopold Aston.
‘Where did you find itho asked,

she answered, in a stifled voice.
Then, partially recovering her
self: “You are buck soon.”
“Yes,’’ pleasantly,
lie had his valise in his hand.
He had just come over from the
depot, and went up to his room.
Burning with her siHtex'’8 shame
yet with a strange joy in her
heart, Mildred turned and went
away from the arbor. She bur
ied her face among the pinks,
“How sweet they are,” sho
said.
Arabella was not in tlio parlor
that evening. The house was
strangely still.
“Are we never going to have
any more music ?” asked the doc
tor. “Milly, go up and play
something lively.”
“When I have finished picking

The twilight overtook the nim

Thcro was no pained blush now,
Mildred looked up, calm and

“No, I am at leisure now,” she

“Then will you walk down this

Ho took a soft gray shawl from

“And the opal ?”
“The opal sharpens the sight of
