A Fair Exchange of Love Which

" Iii.iaa! niv own darling Diana!"
With a low cry of utter gladness the
young man hurried forward and clasped
ttie trirl to his breast c1.isih.h1 her and
kisssxi her, and looked down joyfully into
the startled violet-blue eyes; but she,
laughing and blushing in lovely einliarrass
ment, tore herself out of his arms and stood
shyly before him.
"I'm not Iiiium I'm only I lolly," she
'xp'i tiiued, demurely. "And you must be
lloy Van Alstyn, though I did not know
JMana was expecting you home so soon."
" She was not expecting me; 1 planned to
take her by surprise. Is It possible this is
little Dolly f You wero in short frocks
w lieu I went away, my dear. You are the
living linage of your sister," be said, re
garding her with a mingled look of sur
prise, confusion and admiration.
"Oh, indeed!" answered Miss Dolly, not
particularly flattered. "But she is not a
groat deal older than I am."
"Of course," murmured the young man,
more and more confounded; "you are the.
picture -of what she was live years ago
whim I saw l.er last."
"lam eighteen and my sister is rwenty
ih roe," remarked Dolly, with a little air of
superiority, looking straight up into the
ves of this tall, tine-looking fellow whom
she thought the most "taking" gentleman
she h id ever met, and who, she knew, had
made a clear $jri,(KA) by his live-years' la
bor. "But Diana is just as pretty as ever,"
she added, patronizingly, "anil will be
awfully Kind to have you back, I suppose.
She doesn't have much fun, you see, for
the? follows all understand she's engaged;
mil I'm glad you've come for her at last,

have been in the house and spoken to
yoi.r not her; Diana was out here in the
Harden, she said; and that was one reason
1 made the mistake, I suppose." he said,
rir'-ainily, his eyes still lingering on the
Ito.iutil'ul, llower-hkn lace, so fresh, so
pi.l'.iant, so perfect. Dolly was a born
coquette, ami selfish to the core of her vain
little heart. She was fully aware of the
impression she was mukitisr; even now she
was thinking, with a thrill, "would it be
possible to cut Diana out, and catch this
handsome and generous fellow for her
self!" For the Davenports were poor, and Dolly
bulged for costlier dresses and jewels to
set off her beauty ; she envied her older sis
tec her good luck; beaux Miss Dolly had
in rtiiperabundanee, but among them none
such as this rich and fascinating. She
glanced up at him from undue In. r long,
c;r!ing lashes.
It's too bid I got tin; first kiss." she
laughed, the soft color Hying to her wild
rose face. "Diana will be furious.'"
Dou't tell her, then,'' murmured Roy.
laughing a little, too. ami unable to with
draw bis admiring gaze from the lovely
yau:ig tfirl. "Five years ! I never thought
about their changing Diana; yet of course
1 im old'T as well as sh ."
' h, but a man n man ought t't be eight
or ten years the older."
'You think that, do you. Miss Dolly;"
"U'hv, of course. My lover must bo ull
o' that'."
"Have you any one in paiticular in your
mind's eye, Dolly;" he asked, laughing bo
l i'ise she bniglcd.
"Not yet." Willi a little affected siiih.
Somehow the youths of our rural neigh
borhood hardly come up to my ideal, lint
iully I must look about for my sister.
You must be dying to sec her, I know, after
H'l these years. Why, five years to me
seems like half a life-time! I wonder
ri'vo had the patience to stand here lis
tening to my nonsense ; 1 wim't -toll Diana
h c.v you took me for her."
Hoy Van Alstyn himself wondered why
i:e had n maiuc 1 by Dolly and let her talk
without demanding to see his sweetheart.
He had come into that sweet June gardcu,
eyes and heart aglow, his whole soul rush
ing in advance of his footsteps. For now,
a', last, after "long toil and endeavor," the
s-ipivme hour so intensely longed for was
Uere, when he should "feel the arms of his
true love around him once again."
Meantime, not six feet away, outside the
leafy arbor, sitting in the deep, glistening,
fragrant grass, a book in her lap, showers
of rose-petals dropping over her gold hair
and pale-blue dress, was Diana Davenport,
a :nomont ago dreainiug happily over her
coming lover, but now white as death, her
bands clenched, her lips quivering. Sho
gave no token of her nearness, and the two
moving away in search of her did not learn
that she had overheard their lit lie chat.
. t. polly was always ent'.rely selfish." she
whispered to herself after a time, t.j nilVc
given up every thing i lse to her, and now
she w.ll try to win him."
( She crept carefully out of the garden
into the house.
"My dear, lloy lias come," her mother
railed out joyfully, as she was shpping
up to her room.
I1-Yes. mamma, 1 must smooth my hair."
Oace safe in her room she looked at her
self leng and sadly in the mirror.
I "If I am pale and grave and thought
ful," she murmured, "l have U-eonie so
wait.tiw' an I watching for him. If I had
J loved him less I might not have pined away
I my roses. Yes. Doily is lovely- soft and
I tender and lovely as the roea out tl.wre
'and as soulless. But Le will see only her
girlish bloom, and she she wiil break my
J heart."
It wta half an hour and over before Do.'.j
brought Hoy to the house in the search for
Diana, who was waiting in tho cool, dint.
ja-miue-scented parlor, palo and quiet un'd
cold.
The fiery trail of red Otvbor was over
all the land. There were coral seed-cups
on the vines over the trellis, but roses no
longer, tireat cl'imps of chrysanthemums
flamed in tho gar leu, but the heliotrope and
ling'! Hiefe were no more. A p.-rfect glory

a widow. d in other bad reared two lovely
daughters daughters whom to-morrow
she was to loe, as mothofs lose girls whom
they give to men in marriage.
There were a dozen merry young people
promo; uiding the porch in tht white glory
of the night bridesmaids n.nd best men, as
well as the two pairs of lovers Dolly,
clinging lightly to ttie strong arm of Hoy
Van Alstyn, and Diana pacing side by side
with tint in. m sho h id promise 1 to marry
a suitor who had fallen in love with Dolly
first, but on being refused by her in favor
of Hoy, ha I turned to tho elder sister, aj
p.ircutiy as well satisfied a widower from
the city, out in the country for his health;
a wealtlr,' merchant who could off net 11 y's
twenty-live thousand w th ton, times that
sum; fifty years of age, of courtly manners
and rellned habits.
'lie w is not a bad match for Diana,"
her friends sai l. "Sho was so quiet, th9
groat diiforonoe in their age would not bo
so o!): rvubie; and really, after the way
Van Alstyn jilted her for her sister, it
must bo qu te a triumph fur her to make
such a match bo font his very eyes."
Oh, yes; it must be a great triumph!
Dolihtl'ss Diana felt it so she walked
proudly and calmly ly Mr. Uurleigh's si do,
li-rfair face fairer still in the brooding
whiteness of the moon, her beautiful ejes
lifted to the shining heaven with a straugo
look in them. To many sho seemed love
lier than her more blooming sister a lily
purer and more precious than any rose. As
they passed and repassed each other in the
moonlit promenade Hoy's eyes wero al
ways lifted from the piquant face of his
owu partner aud fixed with troubled
scrutiny on that other quieter face, but his
anxious look was never returned.
"I declare, Hoy," pouted his bride-elect.
'you seem to U' walking in your sleep. If
you are going to be silent and stupid I'll
sieal Diana's follow and lot her have you
Come, Mr. Burleigh, let us run away and
hub", like poor Umevra. It's a glorious
night for a walk."
Dropping Hoy's arm she ran up to the
other couple, with that pretty, sparkling,
halt -defiant way of hers.
"You have got to lend him to me for a
while, Di. I'll give you Hoy to keep for a
few minutes, as little girls lend their dolls,
Be sure you take good care of him. and
'don't lot him get broke. ' I'm afraid he's
sullen to-night or sorry, who knows I aud
I'd ruther have Mr. Burleigh."
Dolly could say all sorts of things with
safety. People only smiled at her folly as
at that of a pretty child. But Roy's face
flushed darkly as she dragged the elderly
dance away from his b-trothed, nothing
loth for a lark with hm jolly sister-iu-law to
bo.
"Turn about is fair play," ho said, sober
ly. " Diana, will you tak" my arm?"
She would not refuse it, though he ob
served her h.'sitate. In a minute they were
walking along tho graveled drive, on into
the frost-kissed garden, along the winding
paths shining in tho moonlight. Finally
in that very arbor where he had met
and kissed Dolly, Hoy suddenly stopped
and threw at his companion a look that
turno 1 her pale cheeks oven paler. A cry
of anguish, long stifled, uucontrollab'.
burst from him in a few desperate words:
"Diana, why have vou treated me so
since I came back' I came to you, after
five years' toil for us both, faithful, loving.
anient, eager and you froze mc With a
look! In one cruel moiiiont you allowed
me to see that vour love for me was dead.
What 1 Kiiffere 1 under that blow none but
myself will ever know. It is late to speak
to you now, but I must ask you why you
treated me so cruelly!"
" It is late, as you say, and you seem to
have comforted easily yourself, Hoy."
"Ah, now you are bitter! Would you
like it better if you hail erusho I all life and
hope out of me; You tried hard enough!
Little Dolly was kinder little Dolly likul
me, and was sorry for me. I wa grateful
to her - I shall try to makt her happy; but
there will only be one love for me in this
world, Diana."
"Hoy!"
Tho passionate ring of pain in her voice
thrilled him with wonder.
"Diana !"'
"It is wicked deceit ful terrible, for vou
to say this to me now! Hoy, I wa within
hearing of your every word when ycu came
back that, day, met my sisler ou tiiis very
spot, tnisto ik tier for mo, kissed her for
mo -and then loved her for herself. She
was to you what once I was. Oh. slut was
fair and gay, and the pink of her cheek was
more to you than the whdo of mine, worn
white and thin for love and longing for
him who came home to liud me faded and
sad ami to fall in love with mv sister!"
'As Heaven is over us, Diana, you do me
strange injustice. I did mistake Dolly Tor
yju. and 1 admired her because sh was
like ynii. In my heart I laughed at, her
girlish vanity, and condemned her selfish
ness; in live nruutes 1 sirv that her soul
was not like her holy, the imago of yours;
when 1 found you. at last, my heart melt "d
in speechless love at the sight of th" grave,
noble. In autit'ui girl whom I thought my
own; you know how you received me,
Diana how you chilled me how you
shrunk from m- An I. Diana, the very
day vou united to be free of vour engage

her instead. I never can love her; but I
will be good to. her, for your sake. Diana.
It s.-ems so strange to me that you. of all
Women, should be cold and worldly - for it
is the mouev alone for which you must be
marrying th.s other mail."
He stood and looked at her as if trying
to understand and read the beautiful wiian
who had so ha tiled him. He looked haggard
in the moonlight unutterably sad aud
hopeless. Her dark b.iieeyes searched his
for a moment, then her white face was
buri 'd in her bands.
It is all a mistake on both sides," she
whispered. "I was too proud too sensi
tiveand Dolly was too artful. She has
hurt me, Hoy, to the death. I thought that
you liked her best that I was forgotten
that you would be glad to be free. Ami so
I spoke; but it broke my heart. Oh Hoy,
why do I tell you this now! It is too late."
Oh, Dolly! cruel, cruel Dolly! ' mocked
a Voice, but it Was not Key's.
Oh. wicked, wicked Dolly!" went on the
merry, mocking voice.
And then Diana raised her startled face
frm her ban Is and looke I about.
There, close beside h"r, stood her naughty
Bister, recK.t ssiy l.i'igfnng.
"It's the very strangest tiling," he went
on, unb'.usl.lng y ; "of all coincidences it is
