"Quite true,' I answered; 'but if » | you a¥o not to love.me when you are my sweetheart, I shall retire.' 'Oh, but I willl You see Agnes has Tom Irving to her, and tried very hard, but failed, to get Tracy Hill to love mo; then I thought of you, and perhaps you would bring me flowers, and tell me I added to their beauty by wearing them, ard sugar-plums, and say my lips were sweeter than sugar almonds, und take me to walk and to ride, and always, always be loving to me.' 'But,' 1 asked gravoly, ' what are you to give me?' £0, I will work yon a pair of slip- pors when I am big enough, and "I'll kiss some of the sugar-plums, and let you eat them, and 1'll wear the flowers, and if there is any song, you like very much I will practice it, and learn it, if the acoompani- ment is not too hard. y «All right. T's a bargain. You are my little swoetheart, and I your devoted adorer from this day,' I cried. 'But it scems to me, May, that for a lady of your ageyou know a good desl about the sweetheart question,' 'Well, you see, uncle--no ; you're not my uncle any more.' * Dear Harry," I snggested. ¢ Dear Harry, you see there is the drawing room, and. thereis the par- lour; and if Tom Irving comes while Agnes is in the parlour, she says, Run up stairs, May, that's a good girl; 'and when I get tothe drawing || room 1 see Tracy IIill kissing Jane, and he mutters, 'There's that child again; " and'I run into the kitchen, and Molly haa John McCoy there, 4and I can't help seeing them all,' she added piteously. + Exactly. And 1 think youn are a very sensible child to auarti & court- ship ot 'your own." Will you allow me to drive you to the grove this afternoon, Miss Marian?' I added, with my very best society bow. Thank you, dear Harry,' she said, with demure gravity; 'I will go with pleasure.' 80 we commenced our flirtations, and never bad any man & more piquant, lovelier little sweetheart than I, Harry Montgomery, bad for the three years I remained at Max- wellbrig, the village in which the Sterlings were leading people. Mr. Sterling and my father had. been friends for many years, and when I finished my medical studies Mr. Sterling let me know there was a good opening for me at Maxwell- brig and A warm welcome at his house, where Mrs. Sterling and the threo girls made me at once 'like one of the family." | My calf love in its entirety and devotion was given to Janet, until 1 {ound she had a previous attachment, and 1 wus dolorously weeping over: the fact when rian generously came to the rescue, ¢ What pleasant days we do have, | dear Harry ?' sho said to me when we were pionicing in the woods; 'all the girls think I have the nicest bead in the world," And no y has any idea who it is who helps me with oy French®and German, and shows and Igo up "| over their Tends beosuse you 'make legsuna all the. same and der heating it relly study xafenes | prefers tl mil Lr eager ard work gave me only of simplifying soma eyed type. 'We corresponded, of course. At then - it grew. languid, and finally died. I was engrossed with busi- ness and society ; May was working through school, through society, and as a bello, "Agnes and Javet, mid- dle aged marirons, left Marian, the only daughter, at home, and society was exacting, I heard of ber bril- liant beauty, s musician of great talent, and a bright, sparkling con- versationalist, I tried to fit this to my little sweetheart, and failed. I had lost my childish adorer. But 1 was not fond of society, nor devoted to the duties of a cavalier. Perhaps Janet had left too deep a wound to heal, though I did not think so, when, ten years after our first meeting, 1 found her with a party of tourists, ' doing the conti- nent,' a lond-voiced, red-faced wo. man of fashion, who had left three little cobildren at home while she displayed coatly dresses and horrible French and German abroad. "Tracy evidently preferred the society 'of the babies, as he was not one of the travelling party. 'Marian!' she said, when I inquired for all the home circle. © 'Why, Marian is in London. Didn't you know about Marian? Ah! Mrs, Agnew--good evening. "Tell mo,".I entreated. * What about Marian? Is she married ?" Bless me, no! Hasn't even a beau, as far as I know. May is so prime--cut out for an old maid. And she'll be worse than ever now. Excuse me. Mrs. Maitland is mov- ing to the dressing room, and I go in her garage. Good night. Do come and ree us." And her escorte came up, and she sailed away. And it was not till ten minutes later that I remembered that [ had not asked her for her address or Marian's. Itried to repair the omission the next morning by visiting all the botels and examining their registers, The only result was the asurance that the whole party had left Berlin this morning. But the fates favored me. {1drop- ped into a nice legacy, quite suffivi- ent for the want of a family of modest tastes, and I determined to go to England --home! It was a year sinco I met Mrs. Hill in Germany. Was Marian still in London! My sweetheart. Strange to say she had always lingered in my memory, as the ideal' woman of my bachelor fancy! 1 determined to return at once and accept a long standing invitation to visit my triend, Lord Loringer, at his place Loringer Hall, I met with 8 most cordial welcome, and arrived just before dinner hour, Lord.

Wo were on route at last. I knew my darling's verses by heart, I had read her novel twice, dreadfully disgusted both times by the fact thi that the 'heroine who had brown ayos and golden hair married a hero who bore not the faintest resemblance to me. The party had engaged rooms for us at the hotel they were staying at, and one general drawing room was to serve the gatire party. Here, atter making dress an object of the most espeeial study, I went on the wings of love. A Indy stood by the window look- ing out, and I went forward timidly She must be one of our. party, or she would not be there. Her dress--a Parisian marvel of taste and simpli: cily-- was that of a jeune fille; her figure was tall, graceful anc slender, and ber golden hair was dressed with all the modern abominations; but she never stirred or turned until I stood close beside her, when she tarned her full face to me.--My darling's face, with all the little baby.curls on her forehead, all the sweet innocence in the big brown oyes. Itutterly unmanned me. For a moment I could not speak; then 1 held out my trembling bands, almost whispering, 'My little sweetheart!' Her eyes grew soft, lustrous, dewy.
