The course of their true lore had ran Tery smooth, for their mothers, j old schoolmates, had langhinfly betrothed tneta when UUle Aanie was bat three yeara old. t Barry was an orphan, but his naoie, Dr. Kenton, had adopted him at bis mother's death, and filled the place of the father, whom the boy had Deref seen. The doctor waa an old man, and reg-arded hie frank, reaeroaa nephew as the apple of his eye. II was not wealthy, bat bis practice was gvod, and he was able to pi re Harry a col lege education, and looked forward to the time when his nephew could take his place. Annie Ashley was the only child of the Tillage lawyer at Burnside, who. nia practice being Tery small, specu lated freely, sometimes losing, some times gaining. Annie was his pet, and be lored her tally as well as Dr. Ben ton lored Harry. Hla schemes for her e ducatiou were in the eyes of the Til lagers wonderful, for he proposed sending ber to a fashionable seminary when she was old enough. Accordingly, Annie, at Otleen, was sent to a noted Institution, wherein young ladies are taught rarioua useful and ornamental accomplishments; and Harry, to his great Joy, waa sent to college to begin hia medical education, The youno; friends met often, and were frequently Inrited to the same parties, and fell to lore with each other anew eTery day. ) hue affairs were thus progressing the holidays called the lorers home for Tisit Harry had passed through his college coarse and graduated with hoa ors, while Annie was quite a show scholar at her seminary. But they fonnd trouble in store for them at home. Une of Mr. Ashley's specula tions had succeeded beyond his utmost expectations, and he found himself suddenly a man of large wealth. As soon as his daughter returned home he announeed his Intention of making. with her, the tour of Europe, declaring pompously that no woman's education could be considered complete until she "l BATE MT re,RTU!

As soon as Harry heard the news he obtained hla uncle's consent to his mar riage, flew to Annie, and soon woo her confession of lore and acceptance of his band; then, confident of success. the two repaired to Mr. Ashley's atudy to ask his permission to their union. He received them coldly; Harry poured forth his protestations of love for Annie, spoke of the length of their ac quaintance and eourtship, and finally asKea him lor nis daughter s band. "Mr. Benton," said Mr. Ashley, cold ly, "what are your flnivnclal posses sions and prospectsT' "I have my fortune to make, Mr. Ashley, it is true," said thftyoung man; "bnt I am young, just of age. My uncle will share his practice with me, and I hare erery prospect of doing well. I am known in the "place, and hare many warm friends, who will, for my uncle's sake, trust his ntphew to prescribe for their aches and pains.'' . "This sounds Tery plausible," was the reply; "bat you must pardon my plain speaking. My daughter Js now an heiress, and mast wed higher than a country practitioner. It is strange matrimony did not Occur to yon before my fortunes Improved.." . "Sirl" cried Harry. t ' "There! do not fly into a passion," said the lawyer. ' "1 know all you would say of disinterested lore, and all that sort of thing. My daughter, sir, declines yonr offer." 1 - ' "Father," said Annie, In a low tone, "Hove Harry.1!

It waa so like Annie's, and the song; was one they had learned during those happy yeara when they were freeruent ly in each other's eompaay. Soon the song ended, and then the clear, rich notes were heard again. This time it waatae aoprana part of one of their old duets. ' Fired by some impulse, Harry waited until the tenor was wanted, and then began to aing, too. To hia delight the song was continued, and finished by hia mysterious partner and himself. Of course the next thi njr was to con vince himself that it waa she. ; ' Aa he knocked at the door of the next room a tall, handsome man pass ins; him, opened it and went in, wait ing, holding it open for him also te pass. Harry gave one glance, and then abruptly turned back and went into his own room, caught up his hand-bag, and in another hour w as on his way home. i i What had be seen? Annie, his Annie, seated beside a bed, on which lay a child, whom ahe was trying to soothe to slumber by singing. Of course she was married, this was her child, and the gentleman, so politely waitintr for hiin to pass, hrr husband Mr. Ashley had died abroad abou two yeara and a half after he parted Annie from Harry, Led on by one or two fortunate speculations, he had periled his whole fortune on a real estate speculation In Kansas City and beggared himself. Humiliated, despair ing, he had sunk beneath the blow, leaving Annie In a strange eity alone. Mra. Evans, a lady whom Annie had met in Kansas City, pitying her for-' lorn condition, had taken her under her protection to bring her home, and It waa while they were on their Way east that A nnie, being left alone fot a few hours with little Master Evans, had suns; Ito beguile the time and at tracted Harry's attention, Mr, Evans, her kind friend's husband, was the husband Harry had so ra shly supposed to be hers.

Harry was seated in the parlor of the hotel at Babylon, Long Island, when he beard a noise in the hall, and then a loud cry for a doctor. Stepping Out, he found a crowd In the passage, and saw two men carrying a lady up tb; stairs. "What's the matter?

' s ' " Long i before; this sentence was finished Harry was in the room where the sufferers had been carried. The first object that met Ills eyes was the man whom he supposed to.be Annie's husband, lying senseless on the sofa, while on the bed nest' lay another figure, the lady he had seen on th I stairs; but her face was turned to thi wall. ' '' r ' ''Oh, sir!" said the lady, springing to meet him, "are you a doctor? Ohl tell me, is my husband dead?" ' Her husband! Was Annie dead, and this her successor? t Thi, was Harry's first idea.
