She only knew how wretched she was herself, and how hard it. was to fight. her tears back as she bent ov--j er the silk, weaving in with every stitch a part of the clinging love which each day grew stronger for the only sister, who would soon be gone.

'l‘hey grew to liking each other rap- idly, Marian and Katy, the latter of whom thought her new friend great- ly out of place as a dressmaker, telling her she ought to marry some 9 rich man, calling her Marian altoge- ther, and questioning her very closeâ€" Ely of her previous life. But Mar- ian only told her that she was born :in London: that she learned her trade on the Isle of Wight, near to in: “Int there HIS besides that up- prentirc.~hip to the Misses 'l'ruc on the ,lslv nl' \‘Jig‘ht.

"Pure, loving, innocent and unsus- pecting," was Marian Hazelton's verdict, and she followed wistfully every movement of the young girl, as she flitted about the room, chat- ting as familiarly with the dress- maker u if she Were a friend long known instead of an entire stranger. {g to divert K8 2: “hat. there v 'enticcship to [8 {Isle of Wight ent farther. any we dead; that s ica in hopes of _________â€"â€"__ ___._ %bkbkbkbkbkblfbbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbkbk$ $$$$$$9ߢ9fl9$$$9fl9$$$$5§ Purified * ’V‘ by Suffering On the morning of the 9th day of June, 18â€", Wilford Cameron stood in his father’s parlor, surrounded by the entire family, who, after their unusually early breakfast, assembled to bid him good-bye, for Wilford was going for his bride, and it would be months, if not a year, ere he return- ed to them again. They had given him up to his idol, asking only that none of the idol's family should be permitted to cross their threshold, and also that the idol should not often be allowed the priVilege of r turning to the place from whence she came. These restrictions had eman- ated from the female portion of the Cameron family, the mother, Juno and Bell. The father, on the con- trary. had sworn roundly as he would sometimes swear at what he called the contemptible pride of his wife and daughters. Katy was sure of a, place in his; heart just because She touched her lips to Katy's forehead, and when they were with- drawn there were great tears there which she had left! Marian's tears on Katy's brow; and it was very meet that just before her bridal day Wilford Cameron's bride should re- ceive such baptism from Marian Haz- elton. “Angry with you!" and Katy nev- er forgot the glitter of the tearful eyes. or their peculiar expression as they turned upon her. “No, oh, no; 1 could not be angry with you, and Yet.

Marian Ilazelton was going home, for she would not stay at the farm-house until all was over, notwithstanding Katy's entreaties were joined to those of Helen. That was all he said, and Katy, after smoothing his silvery hair a moment, kissed his cheek and then stole away, wondering if the love to which she was going was equal to the IOVe of home, which, as the days went by, grew stronger and strong- er, enfolding her in a mighty em- brace, which would only be severed by bitter tears ,and fierce heartâ€"pangs, such as death itself sometimes brings. In that household there was, after Katy, no one glad of that marriage except the mother, and she was only glad because of the position it would bring to her daughter. But among them all Morris suffered most, and suflered more because he had to enâ€" dure in secret,-so that no one guess- ed the pain it was for him to go each day where Katy was, and watch her as she sometimes donned a Part of her finery for his benefit, asking him once if he. did not wish he were in Wilford’s place, so as to have as i pretty.a bride as she should make.

Even Uncle Ephraim was not as cheerful as usual, and once when Katy came upon him in the wood- shed chamber, where he was shelling corn, she found him resting - from his work and looking from the window far of! across the hills, with a look which made her guess he was thinking of her, and stealing up beside him she laid her hand upon his wrinkled face, whispering softly, “Poor Uncle Eph, are you sorry, too?" He knew what she meant, and the aged chin quivered, while a big tear dropped into the tub of corn as he replied, “Yes, Katy-didâ€"very sor- ry." Something which it ’was possible He:- en might. require of her; “but I will do anything else, only please don’t cry, darling Nellieâ€"please don't er!!- lt “Foils all my pleasure," and Ka- ty's soft hands wiped away the tears running so fast over her sis- ter's face.

And yet \‘til" ford did not deserve that name. lie had been accustomed all his life to hearing dress discussed in his mother’s parlor, and in his sisters' boudoir, “hile for the last five weeks he had heard at home little else than the probable tout en- semble. of Katy’s Ward 0130, bought and made in the country. his mother deciding linally to write to her co 3- in, Mrs. Harvey, who boarded at the Revere, and have her see to it before Katy left the city. Under these cir- cumstances, it was not strange that Wilford did not enter into Katy's de- light, even after she told him how ,Helen had made every stitch of the dress herself, and that it would on that account be very dear to her. This was a favorable time for get- ting the poplin of! his mind, and with a premonitory “ahem,” he, said: “Yes, it is very nice, no doubt; ‘ but," and here he turned to Helen “after Mrs. Ryan’s services were de- clined, my mother determined to have two dresses fitted to sister Bell, who I think is just Katy's size and fig- ure. I need not say." and his eyes still rested on Helen, who gave him back an unflinching glance, “I need not say that no pun: have been ' vâ€"vâ€" my truqk, and," turnihg now t; Katy.

But it did not. matter; she fancied she had, and she asked if he did not wish to see her dresses. Wilford knew it would please Katy, and so he followed her into the adjoining room, where they were spread out upon tables and chairs, with Helen in their midst, ready to pack them away. Wilford thought of Mrs. Ryan and the check, but he shook' hands with Helen very civilly, saying to her playfully: ---.â€"- ._ ‘â€"_, “Yes, I know, and I will try to prove worthy of what I shall be to yuu when I wear that ring fur good." When he came in sight, however. and she knew he was actually there, she ran away to hide her blushes, and the feeling of awe which had come suddenly over her for the man who was to be her husband. But Helen bade her go back, and so she went. coyly in to Wilford, who met her with loving caresses, and then put upon her finger the superb diamond which he said he had thought to send as a pledge of their engage- ment, but had finally concluded to wait and present himself. Katy had heard much of diamonds, and seen some in Canandaigua; but the idea that she, Katy Lennox, would ever wear them, had never entered her mind; and now, as she looked at the brilliant gem sparkling mon her hand, she felt a thrill of some-- thing more than joy at that good fortune which had brought her to diamonds. Vanity, we. suppose it, wasâ€"such vanity as was very naturâ€" al in her case, and she thought she should never tire of looking at the precious stone; but when \l‘iliora showed her next. the plain broad band of gold, and tried it on her third linger, asking if she. knew what it meant, the true woman spoke with- in her, and she answered tearfully: l “ 'l‘he handsomest man I ever saw," was the verdict of most of the girls as they came back to their work', while Wilford drove on to the farm-house where Katy had been so anxietzsly Watching for him.

As they were alone, it was easier for Wilford to be humble and concil- iatory, and he promised all the old man required, and then went back to Katy, who was going into rap- tures over the beautiful little watch which Morris had sent over as her bridal gift from him.
