I had paced the close cut sward at east a dozen times. The sun was al-
eady turning his fiery eye toward the west. It was not my lady’s way to be npunctual, and, seeing the nature of
ie i¢
r business, I had not looked for delay. Each time I passed the lilac bush I
| paused, fancying | heard the scrunch of
her tiny shoes over the loose gravel path that led down from the house. And again and again was I disappointed. The hour grew near.
I fumbled in my to make a muttered
bosom for her letter, certainty of the matter. [ words to myself; but I had no need to hesitate upon them, for my lady’s fingers could grasp the pea with a lucidity of expression and a com- fertable style that in the broad noontide was as good as, nay, better than, any clerk’s. It ran:
Your request is a strange one, dear friend, but I will do myself the pleasure of talking with you at the Sign of Saint Lilac. The place is well chosen, I think, and the hour propitious. Beau- clere will be favorably impressed with my poor looks, have no doubt, despite the cold light of 4 o'clock. What made you choose such an hour— save that you are a man? Still, it is like your kind heart to be scheming for my better fortune, and I will marry your good Beauclere, provided he will have me and I like the trim of his beard. I kiss the page—here. Deliver the message faith- fully or expect no mercy from your little friend,
AUDREY.
I had told her 4 o’cloek so that I might enjoy a full hour’s speech with her my- self and make quite clear the nature of the thing—that Beauclerc, my friend, was an honest and an amiable rian and actu- ated by no unworthy motive in thus leav- ing me master of his choice in regard to a wife. I had felt diffidence in the busi- ness at first, but when I bethought me of poor little Audrey—so lonely and so com- fortless up at the big house—my heart bad swelled with a monstrous pity, and I bad undertaken the commission at a breath.
Beauclere had reasoned with me thus— that I (being a poorer man and conse- quently more honest than he) should know better of a fitting helpmate for his declining years. “One must have a wo- man about the house, friend John,” he bad concluded, “at the last. Tis ill g0- ing out of the world lesving behind no one to fight over your fortune or carry on the name, and I will be a docile old beast in harness do you but find me a gentle and patient lady. Nay, marriage is all a lottery; I would have you choose for me, so that I can have the small con- mn of not blaming myself overmuch should the venture prove a failure. Dip your hand in Dame Fortune’s lucky bag
i draw a prize, friend John, for me.”
So L had mentally decided upon Audrey, though I eould have wished to have been “dipping” for myself. But I want- ed to make life brighter—not worse—for my lady and so banished the thought as best I could. But the pricking was there nevertheless.
I glanced at the sundial. It was nigh on to 5. 3eauclere might come at any moment. It was certainly most provok- ing. I dug my heels vengefully into the turf and had ventured “just like a wo- man!” betwixt my set teeth when of a sudden I heard a quick, impatient step, and my tryst was at an end. “How late’ —
I stopped. all, but a stranger. began an apology.
“Sir,” said the fair unknown, cutting me very short, “do I address a friend of George Beauclerc?”
“Madame,” replied I, with my best bow, “it is my good fortune to name that gentleman on the list of my acquaint- ances,”
“Perhaps I should have said ‘the friend,’ ”’ continued she, with a heighten- ing color. I noticed her looks more nar- rowly new that we stood side by side in the shade of the lilac. She was older than my lady, and there was a line ’twixt her white brows that told of a history, yet she was of a trim build and very beautiful still. Meanwhile she eyed me with diffidence. “I scarce know how to make my errand clear to you, sir,” she went on presently, “but you have, if rumor lies not, a delicate com-

It was not Audrey after I bowed stiffly and

I bowed again.

guess what 1 am at so mucn troupie to make clear? Has George never even mentioned to you so little as my name?”
“Madame,” said I, ‘if so be you are the lady through whom my friend Beauclere so nearly lost his life, I will be candid with you. In stating the nature of the commission with which I have the honor of being intrusted, my friend expressed one condition—that the lady who would consent to his proposals should not be of the same name as—yourself.”
“But if it were all a mistake?” she cried. “If I could prove that it was a mistake? Sir, credit me with a littie truth. That letter arranging the assig- nation which so nearly terminated his life was never penned by me. It was long after I bad foolishly steeled my
heart against bim anJ had utterly lost his
esteem that the truth reached me—that
George Beauclere, so far from being the despicable man I had deemed him, was really smarting under the sense of a deadly affront, apparently offered him by me. But you men will more readily be- lieve a woman faithless than misdoubt
that fine thing honor!’
Her words came all in a rush; her voice was so piteous that I could not but feel for and believe her. “The proof, madame?” I asked weakly.
“Is here!” She flourished a paper be-
fore me, addressed to Beauclere. ‘The true writer of that abominable letter avows himself at last! Yes, it was a
gross forgery, sir! See for yourself!” She tlung it to me imperiously and tri- umphant.
I read the letter, and my heart sank for Audrey. Here in truth was the wo- man that should mate with Beauclerc, if so hap he were willing, and this I was fain to think he would be now that the truth was clear. I handed back the pa- per with a sigh, yet my heart was lighter than I would have imagined.
““Madame,”’ said I at last, “your case is now my own. Yonder comes Beau- clere. Go you to meet him. There is my brief. Tel] him from me I dare swear that you will do his business more thor- oughly than I.” I gave her my card, with a bow. Across the back I had scribbled while I spoke, “The bearer, dear friend, is my choice.” In a moment I and Saint Lilac were once more alone.

spare yourself the trouble, said she, coming into view. “I have been under the sheiter of pzutren's wing’’—she bowed to the lilac— “all through your strange interview.”
“Then you have heard?! gasped.
“Every word,” replied my lady, nod- ding her little head. I had not dared to raise my eyes, but I could tell from the tone of her voice that her golden curls were shaking at me. “You are a naughty man,” she said severely.
I stealthily raised my glance, first tak- ing in her little shoes, then siowly up that dainty form till I reached her soft
our
,blpe eyes.
“You have made a great fool of me,” went on. fy dear,” said I, gaining a little
courage, “listen how much greater fool you have made of me. I love you with all my heart and soul! Not till I was so near to losing you altogether did I know how dear you were. My scheming on your behalf I fancied to be only for the sake of friendship. But I love you—I loved you always. I knew you were not happy, and Beauclerc is an honest fellow and rich, while I—I am too poor—too humble. You would but have been ex- changing one misery for another. I have made a rash venture, and I have lost all!’
I looked away as I spoke. I could not meet that gentle reproach in her eyes. “I thought I should have been happy,” I stumbled on, “in seeing you happy, and that the next best thing to having you myself would be to find you an interest in life and a home.”
Somehow I found her at my side—her hand on my arm. “You can still find me a home, friend John,” she murmured, and her voice was the sweetest music in this world. “But to make me happy— ah, then you must share that home too.”
I looked up amazed. “I would not have married your Beauclere,” she went on rapidly—‘‘no, not for all the riches in the world! But I did want to tease you, friend John. Listen. Love is a master— not a servant. We must dance to his pipe, no matter how alluring the gilded palace may seem, no matter how bril- liant the diadems that ambition may of- fer. The honest hearth and the one I love—these are God’s gifts that I will not barter for all man’s money—no, not if it were heaped right up to the skies! Kiss me, John!”
I did her bidding, the happiest crea- ture on poor old earth, while Saint Lilae waved his hands in perfumed. blessing over our heads and sighed with ns ‘es sheer contentment.

SROVING TENET: A lily grew ina willed far From the dust of the city street. It had no dream that the universe
Held aught less pure and sweet Than its virgin self, so chaste was it, So perfect its retreat.
When night came down, the lily looked In the face of the stars and smiled;
Then went to sleep—to the sleep of death— As the soul of a little child
Goes back to the clasp of the Father soul Untouched and undefiled.
A lily bloomed on the highway close To the tread of the sweeping throng;
It bore the gaze of. hundred eyes Where burned the flame of wrong,
And one came by who tore its heart With a ruthless hand and strong.
It caught no glimpse of a garden fair, It knew no other name
For «4 world that used and bruised it se Than a world of sin and shame,
And hopeless, crushed, its spirit passed As the evening shadows came.
And who can say but the sheltered one A sullied flower had been Had its home been out on the highway clos To the path of shame and sin, And the other forever angel white Had it blossomed safe within? —Elizabeth Gallup Perkins im Boston Transcript.
FPieasant Work For Spare Minutes,
General Lewis M. Peck, a distinguish- ed veteran of the civil war, a biblisphile, if not a bookworm, was the leading work- er on the volunteer committee which pre- pared the famous index of magazine and other short articles for the Brooklyn library, then under the management of the late Dr. Noyes. This work was an extension of Poole’s famous index to periodical literature. Not long after the task was completed the general met at a reception a young woman who had just been elected librarian of a social club,
“I am thinking,” she said, “of getting up @ nice, complete catalogue of all the leading magazine articles for my library. I have considerable leisure time and like hard work. How long do you think it would take me?”
“It depends upon the amount of your leisure. The 'ast one took 109 men five years each.”
The Bishop’s Whist Game.
I dined one evening at a hotel and sat next to an Episcopal bishop from Eng- land. The bishop, if I may be allowed to use such a disrespectful expression, was chortling. He was doing it softly and un- obtrusively, but he was undeniably tick- led.
The night before he had found himself alone in a Pullman with a prominent rancher and a Japanese student from an American university. They had read all their papers, talked themselves a and the rancher suggested a game whist. To get a fourth they enlisted the services of the colored porter on the car.
“The porter played a remarkably fine rubber,”’ said his lordship gleefully. ‘“The Jap had only played twice before, but he picked it up in the most wonderful man- ner; but I wonder what they would think of such a quartet over in Emgland!"— Black wood’s.
Trouble in The Stomach
Which Doctors Failed to Remove, Cured by Less Than Two Boxes of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.
The experience of Mr. Blackwell is similar to that of many sufferers with chronic indigestion. Stomach med will seldom really cure indigestiow. The kidneys and liver must be set right,
and the bowels made regular and active,
Mr. Joseph Blackwell, Holmesville, Cnt., says :—“I derived more benefit
from the use of Dr. Chase’s Kidney- “iver Pills than from any other medi- cine I ever took, and can highly re- commend them for stomach troubles, I was in a terrible state and could hardly work at my trade. I tried most every kind of medicine and doctors, until I was tired doctoring, and be- fore I used one box of Dr. Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver Pills I could see that they were helping me, and after taking a box and a half, found that I was cured.”
Nearly every family on the continent has used Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills or heard of the remarkable cures they have effected. One pill a@ dose, 25c a box, at all dealers, or Bd« manson, Bates and Com, Toronto,
