OPO OPHOPHO'#O OF OOOO OOO
Although the little village of Olden was beginning to look bright with the green of early spring, down here by the cove all was gray—sand, rocks, sky, even the water had the same dreary tint—not a gleam of other color, except that of the crimson shawl which the girl, sitting on a ledge of rock, had wrapped around her.
Laurence Dare, coming along the road which ran above the beach, saw the patch of red and paused.
“That is Monica,” he muttered.
He made a few long strides and stood beside her.
“Monica,” he said softly. .
The girl turned her head with a quick movement.
“Oh, Laurence?”
There was a displeased tone in her voice and her brows came together in a frown as she regarded him.
“Monica, you are cruel.”
The girl made no answer.
“Monica, last summer you gave me a faint hope that in time you would listen to me. What have you to say to me now ?”
She turned around to him, her eyes full of tears.
“I was wrong to let you think you might hope, Laurence, for I can’t de as you wish. Don’t you understand? It seems wrong for me to listen to you. Think; L.belong to Allen. I was to have been kis wife. He was always talking of Cousin Laurence. You seemed Cousin Laurence to me too. Don’t you see? I belong to Allen. I can’t marry you.”
“But Allen is not”—
She interrupted him quickly.
“Hush! We don’t know; he must be living.”
“Monica,” he said, with great gentle- ness of voice, “think! It is four years. He was to have returned in ten months.”
“IT must be faithful to him.”
Dare flushed. “This is nonsense, Mon- ica,” he said half angrily. “If Allen is living,” he went on, “why have we not heard from him all these years? Are yor going to waste your life in this little village and give up all chance of happi- ness for a fanciful idea of being bound to him? And think of me! I have loved you so long. Come to me. I shall love you so much that you must love me in return. Come, I swear that you shall never regret it, Monica.”
“TI can’t, Laurence.”
“Will you spoil both of our lives?”
“T must not listen, Laurence. I wish that you did not care for me.”’ “T can’t help caring for you. I think I
have loved you since the first day I saw you, and now that you are free’’—
“I am not free.”
“Monica, listen!”
She stood up. “I must not, Laurence. Try to forget me. Iam going home. Do not come.”
And before he could stop her she had darted away.
She went along swiftly until she knew that she was out of view from the cove. Her thoughts were in a whirl. Why should she not yield? She knew that her happiness would be secure with this strong, tender man. How little he guess- ed her struggle to resist his pleading! He thought she did not care. In the old days she had compared Allen with him, and always to the former’s disadvantage. For after the first glamour of their en- gagement she had seen the shallowness and selfishness of Allen’s nature, and in the close relations into which through her engagement she was brought with Allen’s cousin Laurence she had recog- nized the strong and noble character of the latter.
And these last years how the tender. ness of his nature had shown out! What eare he had given to Allen’s desolate mother! He had almost filled the place of her son. Still at first her feeling for him had been only a strong admiration. In spite of her evecognition of Allen’s weak nature, the fascination of his glance and soft voice had held her a captive. But now! When Allen had gone west on the prospecting tour, which was to occupy ten months, she had promised to be ready to marry him upon his re- turn. But the ten months had passed, and other months had grown into years, and he had not returned. They had no news of him after that last letter, writ- ten seven months from his departure. Laurence had employed every means at his command to find some trace of him. but in vain. He appeared to lave van- ished utterly. The only reasonable solu

uon oO; Tue Mystery was that ne was dead. His mother believed it, but Moni- ca did not. She could not. She had promised to wait for him. She dared not break that promise. Allen had loved her. She must—she would—be faithful. She would not yield to Laurence!
Dare did not again see Monica, al- though at each visit he made his aunt during the spring he called at the parson- age. But Monica had always been out. The minister and his wife received him most cordially. They would gladly have seen their daughter his wife.
One day in June Monica was returning home from a walk down to the cove. Her way was in the neighborhood of Allen’s mother’s. As it was still early in the afternoon she decided to go and pay her acall. She had not gone to see her often of late through fear of meeting Lau- rence,
She felt that she would run no risk of meeting him this afternoon, he having visited his aunt the previous week. On reaching the house she found the hall door open. She knocked lightly and without waiting for a response walked into the little parlor, where she knew Mrs. Dare was in the habit of sitting.
But at the threshold Monica paused, for there stood Laurence by the window, an open letter in his hand. His aunt sat near him, apparently in a state of great excitement.
As she saw Monica she cried out:
“He lives. Monica! He lives! My boy
itves! My own Allen is living: im and bear the letter!”
Then she fell to weeping and repeating over and over, ““My boy is living.”
Monica looked from her to Dare in be- wilderment. She had turned very white. Laurence went up to her and drew her to a chair. He, too, was pale.
“Is it true?’ gasped Monica at length.
“Yes.” But he did not look at her.
“When?”
“I received the letter this morning and came down by the first train.”
“He is well?”
re”
“Where is he? I don’t understand.”
“In California.”
Monica looked at him confuse ily.
“Why—why haven’t I—bu: I have been out all afternoon. I suppose that I shali find a letter at home.”
Dare did not reply. His aunt was still erying. She now looked up at Laurence.
“Finish the letter, Laurence. Listen, Monica; our Allen is still living.”
Dare had folded the letter and was putting it into his pocket.
“There is little more of importance, dear aunt.”
“But Monica must hear it, Laurence. Monica, dear child, we'll be happy now. Read the letter for her, Laurence.”
“My dear aunt, you must try to calm yourself or you will be ill.”
Monica was puzzled by Dare’s evident desire not to read the letter to her. She went over to Mrs. Dare and embraced her.
“Laurence is right; you must try to be calm, dear Mrs. Dare.’’
“Joy never kills, child. I must cry for pure happiness.”
“I shall go home now,” said Monica. “Perhaps there is a letter for me.”’
“Well, child, but come early tomorrow. We'll count the days new till we see the boy.”
Laurence had left the room and stood at the entrance door.
“I am going with you,” he said as Monica came out.
Dare regarded the girl stealthily as they walked along. He marveled at the unimpassioned manner in which she had received the news of Allen’s being alive. \ Bhe was still very white, and there was a / strained loo& in her face—not the ex- pression of joy he would have expected to see. She walked rapidly, paying no heed to Dare.
He put his hand gently on her arm.
“Do not walk so fast, Monica. You will tire yourself out.”
She did not reply, but went more slowly.
“Monica,” began Dare hesitatingly, “I —do not think that you will find a letter from Allen.”
She stopped still and looked at him.
“What is it, Laurence? You are hid- ing something. What is the mystery? Why did you not wish to read the let- ter?”
“Monica, I believe you are a brave girl Call up all your pride now.”
She gazed at him with wondering eyes.
“Laurence, what is it?’
He looked around hastily. It was but a short distance to the rocks at the cove, and the place was deserted.
“Let us go down there. I cannot talk to you here.”
Bhe followed him submissively. Thoughts of their last int-rview at this place came to her mind. How miserable she had been then and how miserable now. Allen was alive, and she, wretched girl, was not glad. She did love him. It was Laurence that she loved, but she must be faithful to Allen. Laurence must never guess what a wicked girl she was. Allen alive and she not glad, and what was Laurence going to tell her?
Dare seated her iz a sheltered position and stood looking at her. a world of com- passion in his eyes.
“Mozica, | would give my life to spare you this. Allen is a scoundrel.”
He drew the letter from his pocket, opening it slowly.
“What is it, Laurence? Why do you speak so?”
Then, as he did not answer, she said, with a touch of imperiousness in her voice:
“Let me read it.”
He gave it to her, and she read. She passed hastily over the preliminary lines. But what was this?
“T shall wait until later, Laurence, old boy, to give you the details of all these years. Briefly, the enterprise upon which I came out here failed. I kept on trying others, hoping to achieve some measure of success before returning home, but one failure succeeded another. Finally I was taken ill with rheumatic fever. The wo man at whose house I was staying nurs ed me through it, and her daughter, one of the sweetest girls in the state, helped her. Call me all the hard names you wish, but I fell in love with her, and we were married. I was a coward, I know,

Moniea read no further, but threw the letter down with a little ery and hid her face in her hands.
Dare stood looking at her sadly, cure ing Allen in his heart.
“My darling, if | could have spared you this’ — he said.
“Laurence, I tried all along to be faith- ful to Allen, but”—

_The Noise of Pavements. Which is the noisiest pavement—gran- ite, cobble or asphalt? Observations made in Philadelphia show that a horse’s hoofs make practically the same noise on granite and asphalt, but the sound is rather sharper on the granite. On gran- ite and cobbles the noise of wagon wheels drowns that of the horseshoes. It &imounts to about 90 per cent of the whole noise, and as it is practically sup- pressed on asphalt it follows that asphalt is the quietest. It is also the best for motor cars.—London Globe.
