and pursued their different profes sions in the same place barnard wab a toctior and edward was minister of a small church this summer lor tho first time dr vane vvas to see his friends home- ahd his tnoth- r and tlio little cousin he had heard so audi of before long the sittingroom door opened and a tall girl in a gray dress with a rose fji her bosom and masses of fair light toseed back from a pure clearcut came in i she shook hands with her cousin and hnswcied the strangers bow with equally easy and graceful she was more than pretty and so barnard thought as he watched the color come and go in her delicate cheeks and the lustro of the great dark eyes which contrasted so strangely and bewitohinjly with her fair hair the days sped by at the old homestead and dr yane spent many pleasant hours strolling through the woods which formed a part of the nelson place with its fair companion edward at first accompanied them but ho soon saw that bis friend liked to monopolize jessies society and with true curiosity he gradually fell out and left the coast clear to barnard who was well pleased to have itso for he admir ed jessie and the sight of the brond acres around him with the thought that there were only two to inherit all this made her still more fascinating in has eyes three weeks had passed and it was de cided that the nest thing on the program me of amusements should be a party to celebrate jessies eighteenth birthday it was the day before the affair and tbe lofty halls and wide staircases had all to be decorated barnard proposed taking ft drive oyer to some distant woods where it was knpwn beautiful colored vines grew in great luxuriance tie tasked jessie to accompany him after slie hatlgone up to get ready for the drive barnard went into the library where his friend sat writ ing putting his hand on edwards shoulder he said wish me luck old boy your prophecy has come true and i have lost my heart to your sweet cousin i mean to ask the mo mentous question this afternoon edward roso abruptly i with astonish ment barnard saw the white look of pain which contracted his features why ed i didnt suppose youd feel it in this way are you teider iii that direction too j edward replied sadly 1 yea barnard it is true that i love jessie as my life aye far better than my life just then jessie came to tho doorway and oaled out i am all ready doctor and the carri age is at the d6or it was soon over barnard had asked her to be his wife for in her sweet hands lay all his hopes for happiness he had whispered tenderly jesbie did not answer right away and when she did her response was very different from what he had ex pected drawing away from the arm which es sayed to encircle her shcaid dr vaue before i answer you please listen a moment to something i am going to say i here she raised her dark eyes to hisand it was easy for one as skilled as barnard in womens hearts to see the love- light wife to the manor born it will be a grcut sti ugglo to me but jessies face froze and a gray pallor settled over her features she had iot forseen this thuh 10 be wooed and refused in a breath she had told him us she thought it was her duty but in her truut iu

whip in silence they flew homevard the next day with excuses to his hostess and friend dr vaue took his depart ire 1 jesjie did not spejjk of what bad pa ised and edward thought with a great j biund of his loving heart that after all she not loved his friend and had refused him the party came offand was a success and jessie as usual was the life of scene but deep down in her heart girl was
