What :t\':tilntl it to him that ii dozen girlish hearts hcat faster at his approach. \vhiln one calm liltlo maidcu sat like Mord i in the gate, and refused to do him homage.

in vain be renewed his attentions to Nellie Smith; Mary smiled approvinglv. and when, tired oi'hcr, he offered his d - votious at another shrine, Mary only looked hergi‘avc d probation. ilcrnard saw with innrtif . tion that he. had no power to call a single. blush to 1101‘ check. or noise. onc ilirobof'jcalousy in her heart; but with aface in wide all 1 sluu. .cmcd couccuti‘atial, he muttered, _ I will win her. or die."

It was the closo of a long interview in which ilcrnard bad urgcd his suit with all the eloquence of which he was capable. Mary had rejected him firmly, but. kindly and oven tcarlully, as she witnessed the bitterness of his disappointmcut. i’ridc and scii-lovc wci'c sorely wounded.
