''Tell me the story of your life," I asked a fiiera!, one nii ry Miramer day. We had been old time friendsand confidants, as lli- word is under stood amon;' 1 alias, (or years; but I had uev v f v a gae ised at ihe. mio ret of lo r life ihe ivavou why she. stood toda fair and taild andweet so utterly alone in the world. My friend glanced up at me ipji -.kly, then turned her face awaj while the not'f, red color surged over her neck. I had not thought to wound her. "Pardon me, dear," I said, 4Tf I should not have asked you, but it seemed to me that I might share jour ttonhle with jou.'' "It is out. h ver lule story, ' she said, Moiling sdl. 4,I thiuk ooe laifhf lmjh at ir, but well it lias been aiy 'star. ' after all.'' "You weie not air Hid of ridicule ironi, Janet?" 1 anke.il. "Not ridicule; t ut I tho ight you j -would feel that I had beeu foolish, jptrhaps. When I was a child aN most as f-ir back as I can letuem. ber, I laid a small boyish sweet heart, xvho was always my cavalier and defeuder. As we grew old to gether the friendship deepened and after the war broke out he eulisted. At that time there had been no defi nite promise between us, yet 1 think we both felt that our future lay to gether. In fact I had uever thought of any other possibility and do not think Lucien had. There were Stirling times when the new re emits were hurried rapidly to the front. On the evening before the departure of the company Lucien came up to spend the time with me. 4kI have something very serious to say to you tonight,' he said to me in a low tone, when he noticed my father and mother preparing to retire. Just theu a team drove np to the door xvith a clash aud rattle, and a voice called: " 'Fall ib! Lucien Herold, fall in.' We all rushed to the door, only to learn that orders had come to move immediately, aud teams had been seut oat to collect the men. With one clasp to his quiek beat ing heart one farewell kiss, and my brave boy was gone, and the sigoiugof the wind through the shade trees drowned the rumble of the departing wheels, now far down the dustv' road. " 'They are to meet at Houtville tou'ght,' mv father said, turuiug from the door, -and the regiment will leave there tomorrow afternoon, I have to go there tomorrow, to de posit some mouey; If you want to ride out with me, Janet and take a look at the boys you may go along.' ''Mont ville was the count' seat, situated ab.mt eighteen miles from Jaysburg, and on the morrow we were up and stirring long before light and well on our way when the early morning sun threw long fire needles of light over the top ot Bald Mountain. Just what an ag ny of regret anticipation and im p$nence I suffered as we iode along J pan never express. f'Tbe money deposited in the bank, we set out to the camp. Af ter hours of tegret and patient waiting we harned that Lucieu Herold had gone home on leave of absence that morning and was not expected bark until time for the train to leave. I crept away stunned ao'l disaj pointed. At the gtation we wailed patiently again for one last olinmso of him. He . saw us as he marched aboard the train, nd attempted to fall out for a last word; the bell rang, the cou- doctor shouted 'all aboard,' and Lucien darted to my side wrung my band with a low 'good by, dear est,' and then bounded on board the moving traiu, "It was late and dark when we reached home that night, aud to our queries mother replied that thera hn.il linen no one there that - - " I day except Helen Bethel. Her fath-1 er had eeea us drive by at such aa earlv hour that she had rua over, our of curiosity, to know the reas"n. ' I to'd h r ih it 3011 had bmi-ie-s ih it wu'd take about all day, ;:nd ihiil Janet had gone put way witli you to vihit one of hi-r IrieailH', mother said, smiling at the thought that. rIim had tnyslified Helen rath-r than Rati fie 1 her prying na'uie. W era living in a conn I r tn, a'loiit -hie' nnlcs from the neirrst post otlice, and me I for our ta-iehs bar hood was often drought by nomfi of the neighbors and left at Si. Holdin's, at the cross-road about half a mile below Mr. llethel's house. Here 1 went tor 1113 mail, day after day waiting for the prom ised letter fom Lueina, but none j came. 'Ueleu told me that she received letters from him almost every day, and at lat, in gitt confidence, showed me a ring and told me that she and Lui'iea were engaged; that was his reason for coming home on leave of absence the day aft r he started. s I had never told any i ! one that we went that day to Mont, ville, 01 that he hail been obseut, I felt that she must be telling me the truth, else she could never have known Further than this, Helen showed-me a number of letters ad dressed to her in hid familiar hand. "From that day to this I have never spoken his name. Father and mother grew aged, and died with out knowing what had happened between us. At the battle of Hull Ruu he was reported killed. Per haps I had been very foolish, but' (the soft, blue eyes tilled with tears, and the lips trembled) "I lost inter est in many thing!! then, and I have uever met any one that I cared for since.'' "I am glad you told me this," I rising and folding my sewing. My bands t-hook, and my cheeks flamed up into my eyes like small lnrnaces. Crossing the bit of space between us, I stooped and kissed my friend. kVVhy, dear,'' she said catching my fingers, '-did I lay my burden on you? Your bauds are like ice.'' "No, no; I am only a little ner vous. Fll move around a little; and that will set the circulation right," I said, preparing to leave her. Upstairs I went,bounding breath lessly. Once in nir den, I pulled out pencil and paper and wrote: "My Dear Old Frienp: You need not tie surprised when 1 sax you must drop your pen and come here immediately. You must trust me implicitly, and start as soon as this reaches you. Y'ou need not be detained an hour, uuless 3011 so de sire. More than ever your "Inki finger." Theu I rau down to the post box aud dropped my letter in. After g'ancing hastily at my mail ou the folloxving morniug, I went out ou the cool, west porch where Janet sat among the clustering flowers of wisteria. "I've glad news th s morning, ' 1 cried, triumphantly. -'You have leard me speak of ;ay dear pen friend, Anderson John!'' Janet-no bled. "Indeed, I remember now that you are an ardent admirer of his! xvritings. Iu fact, now tuat I think of it, you went out ami bought a scooud volume of his 'Story ol the War,' ?ustto haxe it always in your room.

Had some one else said the same thing iu tbe old days? I rau down the walk aud came l ack with a handful of dewy roses, a cluster of which I pinned at her throat and one I fastened iu her hair- 'We must be festive and gay," I said, "while our company remains. I hope yve may like him as well as we do his books." "I fear we need not hope for 1 that," she said, softly; "else, you see, I should want a second copy tojoccur lo joii that she miht nd keep I hughed at her re'erciue to th 'took on he table, and turned the conversation. Gradually I came iroaud to th talk of the day be fore. "Did xnu mvr thud; hat there urght. hav- ifii some ad take or some decep'-o ?" I iatpiir.-d. 'X-" siiH .msered slowly -I 1 thought Helen f-howed me proof. enough. I sometimes 'eel asbiined - of myself for clinging to .1 !ne h r a man who so discarded u,e. W-I cannot help it.''

Xo.no, don't protest I can see just how it all was trom 3Tour story, and I believe I am right." Janet had risen and come hastily to mj' side. "Could such a thing be pos sible!" she said her face quivering with emotion. -I feel certain that it was just as I say." She buried her load in 1113 lap and sobbed violently. At last, she raised her face, bruohed away her tears, and smiling in a dim, wintry way, whispered : 'Pardon this. We w 11 bury the whole matter, now and forever.1' And then she went swiftly down the veranda and up to her room. For the next three days 1 wan dered about the house, dasted, arranged every article of furniture, and filled again and again every vase iu the house with fresh flowers. A telegram had reached me saying, "I start at ('-.?,() to night," and. counting the distance, I said to Janet : ' Anderson will be 1-ere on the j seven o'clock train of Thursday night. AYe must put on oar gala dresses to meet him. As the time for his arrival drew near, I sent James to the station with the carriage. "Leave him at the side entrance,'' I gave direc tions, ami taking up my post on on the little side poich, I waited aaxiou-dy. A rumble of xvheels, the familiar click of Goldie's feet, and my tlusty traveler xvas whirled up to the door. "And is' thi" my own old laky finger?' he said, bounding op the step. 'And tins is Anderson !' We clasped hand5, nd without a word I led hrni quickly to the guest chamber. "I will wait here until the dust is off.'' I sai , paasing in the hall..
