HLRE was a big
crush nt Mrs. Sin-
ninl people wcro
making ulow pro
gress through the
f'Kir rooms, looking cyn---ilX
ir.il or bored or in

case, might In-.
fur vivid, frank enjoyment, there
were few f.ioe- to compare with ono
girlish one a little llushed, with shin
ing blue eyes, mill .-oft curly brown
lio.ii el'.n taing about it.
Sho whs a lit tie country mouse, hav
ing n peep at tho enchanted fairyland
of London, and nt her pleasure the
grave faco of her companion relaxed,
mill he forgot, for tho moment, to laid
it all a weariness to tho flesh and van-!
iv and vexation to tho spirit.
The girl wanted to know who every
ono wa;i nud all about them; (die
thought them charming, and regretted
that she did not live in London.
".Father hates it so," sho said.
"Your father had a long spell of it,"
tho man s-aid. "Cut" and ho smiled
very pleasantly "wo shall very soon
have you among us, I hope, for more
than a flying viit."
The girl blushed and grew ehy, and
then uttered an exclamation.
"Who n that?" !ho asked eagerly.
"Look al her, there! That woman
with the bsantiful tVo and dark hair."
"That is Miss St. Quentin. She
writes, yon know. Writes well, too;
l.er new book is au immense success,
being neither cheap nor nasty."
"Oh! I've read it," Hilda Carson
said, tho pink ituMi deepeniug in her
cheeks. "And 1 liked it ever so much.
T rend ii out of doors, too, and it in
terested me all the time!"
'Po you eonsidertli.it a severe test?"
"Very And I am glad to have seen
her. She is wonderful, with that dear,
colorless skin, and thoso great eyes.
I think- I think -" She hesitated a
little.
"Well?"
' I think '-he i a woman nobodv
could help loving, if they know her."
Jle laughed. Her fresh enthusiasm
was amusing, and ho rather enjoyed
it tor a change, hut beioro ho could
speak ngaiu two or three people joined
them, and he lost sight of Hilda for a
little.
A Rood many people admired Miss
St, Quentin, but very few even dimly
guessed that, while writing tho storie's
of others, her own life hid ono away
in nu inner and very sacred chamber.
They said she was "not a bit im
prossionablo," and, for all her beauty,
very unlikely lo break her owa heart
or any one else's.
Tlice wore just two or -reo people
of whom Mr. Si 'nir waj one who
doubted this diitum, and wondered if
the dehcato coldness of her mauner
did not hide at lea-t as much of her
nature a it revealed.
But even those who had so much
discernment did not know nobody
knew of that cummer, eight years
ago, wheu she and Jack Tremain had
met in the old Suffolk mansion. No
body knew of the long, long mornings
in the orchard, talking over everything
nud anything, or sometimes sitting in
the silenco that is only possible be
tween friends.
And nobody knew of the afternoons
on the river, or tho evenings in the
moonlit garden, or the sudden, sharp
ending to it all.
Ho was wrong and sho was right,
nn.l thiy were both very proud, so sho
lot him go, forgetting how hard a
thing it ii to be forgiven.
And there had beeu times whou suc
cess had seemed a small thing to her,
'jd life a very desert of loneliness,

chorus (if praiso that greeted her and
ne face in the many friendly ones
that smiled upon her. For Mary St.

Six mouths ago Major Tremain had
c.e.iic home, but society had seen very
little of him so far, though it was eager
to lionise him ami raved over the deed
that gained him that coveted V. C.
Miss St Quentin had not seen him
at nil, though she knew ho was, for tho
moment, in town, and scanned the
faces in park and street, ami party, in
the hope sho was half ashamed of
that of seeing his.
Sho was always a centre of attrac
tion, aud had not been many minutes
in Mrs. Sinclair's rooms before she was
nurouuded with a little crowd. She
resigned herself to the inevitable, aud
was trying to forget her one insistent
desire when her hos.ess came up with
u bro'ied, diguitied man at her fide.
"Misi St. Quentin, may I introduce
Maji.r Tremain to you?" she said, and
lin n lucre was a little exclamation of
i.iiituul recognition, aud ten minutes'
trdiuaty chat, ami that was all.

A Life TruRody, '
For twenty years William 11. .Terola
men, of Morristown, X. J., was silent
in his home. Ho made a vow never
to speak to hi:' wife again and kept it
until death faced him. One morning
he woko up to liud that pneumonia,
had laid its grip upon him. Ho win
eighty years old mid he felt that ho
could not recover. Then ho broke
the oath, spoke to his wife, kissed her
and died. I nou tho day he took sick
he sent for the woman whoso lovo ho j
had spurned for so many years, lli-i ,
wife bent over him with a love that a"!
his harshness had never killed. Ho
saw tho light in her eyes, and, feebly
essaying to take her hand, he sobbed:
"i)ear, I'm so sorry. Will you for
give mc?"
Forgive him? Would she? Kneeling
by tho dviug man's beside sho wept
softly, while he, with tongno freed at
last, rambled on deliriously about old
times. She did not leave him until
the end came. Ho died with his hand
in hers and a look of happiness that
his face had not borne in twenty years.
Tho quarrel ccenred back in tho
'70s over a triding affair. At that timo
.Terolamen was litty-eight years old.
Ho kept his vow and lived on, utterly
ignoring the woman who had tliared
his joys ii'id sorrows so long. They
lived in a cottage at Mount Arlington,
Morris Couuty, but, as far as Jercla
men was concerned, it was as if bi.i
wife was not living. Sho boro the
slight without a murmur. lie dined
in silenco and alone, and so did she.
Often Mrs. Jerolameu had to speak to
her husband in reference to household
atl'airs, but ho never answered. Ho
was a church member, being one of
the organizers of tho Mount Arlington
Methodist Episcopal Church. In
1871 the towii was divided on the
question of prohibition. Tho old man
tried to induco the members of tho
church to indorse tho cold-water
ticket at tho town election, but they
refused. He sworo that ho would
never go to church again. Ho kept
his word in this as ho had toward his
wife. Chicago Tribune.

scended to examine it ho found that
the masts bad gone by the board, and
that tho deck had been torn off by tin,
waves, while the erosstimbers, chewed
with tho wreckage, hung over the
decks and into tho holds.
Captaiu Smith began to cut them
away, when suddenly tho tangled mass
idiifted and fell part way in the hold,
catching him with it, and prisoning
hint as in a vise. The diver could not

was at work, and finding himself
pinned in, how he could not tell, he

the imprisoned man below. In catch

a small hole in the valve of one of his
rubber gloves, and water, tilling the
glove, was slowly cozing past the

that ho would soon bo strangled or j
