"How .strangely you talk, t it' course 1
wnnid give you a llower; but these are
only honeysuckles, and you know we
promised to give each other nothing but
roses. hit stay! the pretty voice
caught itself. "I ha\e a bunch of violets
on my tabic. Would you like them !"
"Anything anything that comes from
your hands!" whispered Hubert, more
sincerely than he always spoke.
1 he bright face disappeared a moment
from the window and then returned—a
white hand gleamed in the moonlight.
‘■There, take them, and now you must
go ! Quick ' 1 hear some one stirring.
Suppo.-e it should be mamma! Good
night, dear Hubert."
The window was softly closed, and in
an instant after Hubert was groping for
the violets in the wet grass, lie found
them where they fell. Hut. as they were
falling, the quick eye of Hubert Edbury
had discerned something, bright as a
.-tar. falling too. The small strip of grass
where lie had stood was entirely in the
shade, hidden from the light by the large
horse-chestnut trees, and he had to grope
in the darkness for this glittering thing.
An instant's search revealed it to lie
wliat he suspected a lady's bracelet. It
was a slender circlet of gold, studded
with crystal. The quick movement had
• unclasped it from her arm. and Hubert,
with a smile, put it side by side with the
withered bunch of violets in his pockets,
I as he rode away.
Sceptre and crown I'd ding tlicm down,
sang Mr. Edbun as be rode swiftly on in
the purple dusk of the trees. “Sceptre
and crown, if I had them, I’d ding them
down for the one bare chance of hearing
the lovely voice once again.”
lie was alone : there was no one to see
him; and taking the violets Out of his
| pocket lie kissed them tenderly, it was
! most absurdly silly of him to do it : but
' who of us does not do silly things in the
hoydin of our youth’s morning? Silly
things that wo blush for afterward, per
haps; just as Robert Edbun blushed
when putting the violets again quickly
away.
Sceptre and crown I'd tting them down,
J f I might
lint his song got no further than that; it,
died away in thought.
Passing arm-in-arm down the crowded
dancing-mom of the Spa the next eve
ning, with his friend Norton, Robert Ed
bun's quick ear was caught by a note
which at once arrested his attention, lie
had saiil that he should know that divine
voice again, hear it wherever or when
ever lie might, ami he was not mistaken.
\ eeitain remonstrance lay m it • tones :
not to say misbelief.

she gave him her hand, and in another

When :t was o\er. Kohert led her to a
seat near some friends ; her motlu-r had
not gone'to the looms that night, slit
looked . eiw pale. The pretty rose coin]
had all died out of lu-r sweet, Sound
checks.
‘•Are you faint!' he asked anxiously,
hending ovci her. ‘‘Are you tired ! .Shall

and has ill health, and he must not he ex

Kohert lvli' iw turned, and saw stand
ing near bin. that other Kohert, who
threatened to be—or pet Imps was no
mean rival. His ill health was evident,
line hand was pressed to his side as if to
still some pain there, and on his hand
some blonde face, which was marked
with unmistakable traces of continued
sickness, a cloud ot jealous anger rested
heavily.
The eyes of the two men met, and each
knew the other for a rhal.
A half smile ot .scorn as he looked curl
ed Kohert E linn . s lips. In a ease like
this a man lias no pity for the ailments
of another. With a grave look he took
from his pocket the rosebud and laid it
in Miss C'inissdane’s lap.
••Here is your rose,” he said, quietly.
■ I re.stole it it your wish. But remem
ber what I said: and believe me, time
will prove me to be no false prophet.”
Without waiting for an answer, he dis
appeared amid the throng of dancers,
seeking her no more that night.
‘■Is Miss Chassdane engaged In that
man lie questioned of his friend Norton.
■1 believe there is no positive engage
! metit." w,.s the reply. •■.Mrs. ('liassdane,
it is said, objects to it.”
“(in what score does she object S’
1 Money i”
‘ Oh, no, Stonor has a small, compact
1 estate close by, and is well off (in the
score of his uncertain health. Also, they
are cousins.”
“What is the matter with him ?”
“Some complication, connected with
both the lungs and the heart, which, I
conclude, renders treatment dilHeult.”
“Do you think .Miss ('liassdane cares
for him ?”
“1 don’t think she loves him, Kdbury
if that's what you mean. It seems to me
that she likes him more as a brother.
When eligible attentions are paid to girls
they feel flattered, you know, and respond
accordingly. Nine out of ten of them un
derstand nothing of their own feelings,
and mistake friendship for love. Hubert
Stonor and Miss ('liassdane have grown
up together—have been like brother and
sister.”

her, that Robert F.dbuiy came to

both sides by fruit trees.- pears, apples,

the fruit alone pays the full cost of re- i

' carefully and constantly scraped around
these trees The rain water of the road

I well kept and in a picturesque country, is
a thing never to be forgotten.

of the young lady were watehed. Slit* was seen i
to wander forth alone, and at a certain spot to eu

fair heroine would ha\ e her i. delight" to cheer
j her solitude, and one day lie was detected kiiet-1
ing to lus divinity and urging her to elope. The
interesting being was t urn -d out; he vanished,
was never more seen in the neighborhood, but was
trace.I to a garret on tin* east side of tbe town, and
discovered to be a barber out of employment. On
a tine summer day, lur father took ln-r to a very
narrow street, and pointed out a dapper little shop,
and at the door a dapper mail pale face, raven
locks, slim ligure but alas’ his coat oil. and a
whitt apron girded about his loins, h was the in
terestinu creature, the lo\e lorn swam, m propria
