Wlint superb flowers you have here at the Elms, Miss Arabella.’ ‘Do you think so? And do you iike clove pinks?’ she asked, hand ing him one. If this concentration of the tropics is a clove pink, yes, I do.’ Then let me give you a button hole bouquet,’ and taking the pink from his hand, she twined it with a hit of smilax, and fastened it is his button-hole.

Pretty soon Arabella danced by the door up to her chamber. A moment later, Leopold ctuno out upon the piazza and lighted a ci gar. Pretty soon lie saw Mrs. Sher wood’s lavender, cap-ribbons, and came to the dining-room window. “Mrs. Sherwood, 1 am called t< New York for a day or two. ] shall be oft’ before you are well astir in the morning.” “But, Mr. Aston, you will want your breakfast.” “No, no !

Leopold took up his hat, which he had laid down, and they went out into the sunshine. Dr. Sherwood, reading upon the piazza, lifted his spectacles from liis newspaper; then took and looked up. Arabella—perhaps a father is not the best judge—but Arabella, a pause. see Her tone said, “We shall what will happen then.” No one noticed the rosy flush which darted like a flame along Mildred’s cool cheeks and her them off white finger-tips when Leopold Aston Yvith his handsome presence and melloYV voice, came suddenly so near her. It was too dark. busy fingers and bowed brown head. The next, day Adam Neele came, and Arabella tvas confined to her room all day with a conven tional sick headache, and saw no one. 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* ingly, of Mildred, when they were for a moment alone. “She—she is sick to-day,” Mil dred answered; but her truthfu eyes dropped and ho saw it. “Ask her if she cannot sec me for a lew moments,” lie said. Mildred went up stairs. Ara bella luy upon tho bed, one arm thrown up, upon the hand of which was a beautiful opal-ring Mildred bad never seen before. “Where did you get that lovely ring, Am ?” 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 herq ring,” stammered Mildred, scarcely knowing wlint site said. “Humph ! That is enough.” Adam Neele went away from (lie Elms the next morning When lie had gone Arabella came down and ate her dinner.” She took a book and sauntered down into the garden Lien. When Mildred bad coaxed her mother to take a nap, she followed her sister, and cut gladioles and pinks for the vases, Avhieh Arabella bad neglected entirely for two days When she came around to the arbor where her sister sat, she sat down wearily. “Adam Neele lias gone, Am.” ‘•I know it.” Then you prefer Mr. Aston?” “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 er. But I’m sick of work and 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, at the end of the 1 inden path,” 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 over these blackberries, papa.” The twilight overtook the nim ble lingers, and Mildred took the pile of jetty fruit out upon tho doorstep, under the porch honey suckle. “Are you always at work?” as. ked a gentle voice. Thcro was no pained blush now, Mildred looked up, calm and sweet. “No, I am at leisure now,” she uiBwered, in a moment. “Then will you walk down this path with mo a little way?” Ho took a soft gray shawl from its peg, and dropped it around her, As lie did so sho saw the gleam of an opal. “Do you like my ring?” ask ed Loopold Aston. “It is the most beautiful opal I ever saw.” lost it in the garden the first day 1 came to the Elms. Do you know the properties which inhere in gems ?” “No.” “Tlio ruby restrains wrath, tho hyacinth procures sleep, the topa& banishes sadness.” “And the opal ?” “The opal sharpens the sight of the possosor. Mildred—little Mil- b—do you think I do not know what a jewel beyond price you are ? Darling look up ! I love you !

They lmd reached the end of the long, sweet, dewy path, and turned to come back. ‘And yon promise to be my wife? Let there be no mistake. Let me be happy, Mildred.’ I promise.
