But she was too good and gentle a soul to alkow even such an unusual occurrence. to interfere with he: daily duties ; so taking her feather dustbrush and an old silk handkerchief, she set to work at her cuszomary dusting of the tiny sitting room. Miss Winifred was sixty-five years old, and although her hair was growing white, it was still abundant, and ecft brown eyes, behind the spectacles which she habitually wore, had lost but little of their beauty. though tears had often dimmed their brightness. Her life had been what the world would call an uneventful. own a humdrnm one ; but to Miss Winifred, pondering over it as she had often did in the quiet twilight hours, the past seemed like some beautiful picture unrolled be- fore her, rich with the golden sunshine of ‘ happiness, though darkened in many places with the shadows of sorrow. How vividly at such times did she recall the home of her girlhood, her parents’ kindly faces, the happiness of the little family circle, the pleasures and amusements of her youth! The excitement of the first wedding, when pretty Dorothy married John Adamsâ€"the joy at the coming of the first lLttle baby, and the intense interest of all the young aunts and uncles. Then the sorrow when Tom, her youngest brother, went from them to seek his fortune in the far West. Poor boy, he sought a fortune but found a grave ! maxâ€"v â€"â€" “rtâ€""7'" , N at that Miss Winifred expected a letter; no, she had very few correspond- ents. and two or three letters a year were all that she ever received ; but she was a faithful reader of a certain weekly paper to which she had subscribed for many years, and which the postman brought her promptly at nine o’clock every Saturday morning ; and as Miss Winifred was her- self an extremely punctual person. such an irregularity on the part of the postman to day disturbed her not a little. "I wonder why the postman is so late to-day,” said Miss Winifred Amee, partly to herself and partly to the big Maltese cat, who lav blinking on the sunny win- dow sill. "Why, he’s at least half an hour behind his usual time;” and she looked anxiously down the street in the direction from which the postman always made his appearance: -c- n ‘7, A (She Watchman You, Mine Winifred had her little ro- mance. In that long ago not a few lovers had sought her hand, but only one had touchedg her heart; and to Pyhilip Gray the had given the unstinted weslchp of her girlish love.

The world had not known ‘3 their engage- ment ; it should never qupect her sorrow now; and although the‘x lovely color in her cheeks paled, and he.- leugh was not as merry as of yore, fake held herself erect, both mentally a, ’d physically, and no one ever dreamed o the heavy cross she was hearing. The Story of a Love that Never Died. And then would come thoughts of one who tried to comfort her in those dark hours. Once again she could see the tender eyes than looked so earnestly in here; could feel agsin the touch of a firm, strong hand that held here in a loving grasp, as e manly voice whispered in her out: “Sweetheart. deareso, don’t grieve so.

On this special morning, Miss Winifred had almost finished dusting her delicate bits of China and old mahogany furniture, when a loud knock announced the post- man.

And then Miss Winifred’s eyes grew soft and tender as she thought of one fragrant bunch of violets, which brought with it just a few penciled lines signed “Philip,” and the hot color rushed to her thin cheeks at the thought ; for in the secret drawer of her old-fashioned secretary were lying now a few brown, withered flowers; end a yellow, faded scrap of Paper. Made to Urder Pantings For some time Miss Winifred sat. absorbed in these memories of the past; but the striking of the tall clock which stood in the corner at length aroused her, and her eyes fell upon the unopened letter which lay in her lap. In the corner of the envelope she saw the words. “Mercy Hospital,” and wondering who could have written to her from such a place, she hastily opened the letter. It ran thus :â€" February 13, 198â€" M135 WINronn AXES. Dear Madam : There is in this hospi- taladyin man (injured in the late rail- road acci ent), whose constant cry is for you. He was only brought here this morning, and as he 18 delirious most of the time, we can find out little or nothing about him. On his person were found two lYetteg. addressed to “Philip Gray, New or I If you will kindly call at the hospital at your earliest convenience. and ask for the matron, you will greatly oblige, Yours truly, CHARLES D. TnonNn, M.D. By the time Miss Winifred hsd finish- ed reading this letter, her hands trembled so that she could scarcely hold it. At first sh; hardly realized the meaning of 3139- fiords, but. as she read and re-read them, their elmlficsnce became clear to her. Philip wee ill, dying. At 1 hOspi- tel in that: very town he was suffering, and calling for her. Ah. suppose she should be too late ! With the greateab haste. she put on her bonnet and cloak. and hurried away. The walk to Mercy Hospital was a long one. and to Miss Winifred it seemed miles that day. At, length «he reached the large building. and on asking for the matron. was shown at Once imo a private oflice, where a sweet-faced women greeted her, and told her in a few words all that she knew about Philip.

For an instant a puzzled. bewildered look was on his face, but in a moment: it had passed; and with a choking cry, “Winifred, Winifred, my darling," he held out his arms; then fainted away. In an instant Miss Winifred had called the nurse, but although the docto: was summoned immediately, human skill could do nothing, and in ten minutes Philip Gray was dead. Quiet: and calm as was her wont, Mine Winifred talked with the doctor and the matron. making every arrangement for the funeral, which was to take place the follovging flay. “Mr.- Gray was one of my oldest friends." she said, by way of explanation, “and it is my place to attend to all these matters for him." As she was leavlng the hospital, the nurae brought her a sealed hut unaddreee- ed envelope, which she said had been found in the left hand pocket of Mr. Gray’s coat. Miss Winifred took It ; but not until she had reached the quiet re- fuge of her own home did she venture to break the seal and read :â€" Winifred, tn‘ darling will you-eon you forgive me? am coming back to you after many years of silence; but in all these years my heart has never been yours alone.

And then Miss Winifred’e composure gave way. With a bitter cry. "0h, Philip, Philip. I have loved you always, end‘you never knew it.” the women how- ed her head and sobbed aloud.

My legsi and feet were as cold as ice even in‘ the summer months. If I attempted the least exertion my heart would beat violently. For three yrars I was in this helpless condition, and although during this time I was attended by three different doctors, their treatment produced not the slightest benefit.
