You've got as good a chance as the rest of them-; and twenty four is not old, by any means " She leaned over the garden gate as she Bpoke, this veritable' village gos sip. I cin see her now, with her great poke bonnet, from which the cluster ing gray ringleta peeped, the keen blus eyea that seemed to read your very thoughts, the trim little figure, clad always in ample skirts of Quaker gray or sombre brown. Never was there a wedding, funeral or christening m the village without this estimable lady's presence. What a harmless little body-she appeared and how incapable ofcarryiEg about that wonderful budget of information! How nicely she imparted her knowl edge to her listeners, beginning with, 'Well, I dou't mmd telling you'" or 'They do jsay, but of course you can't believe anything,'' and ending with, That's between you and me; it will go no further." I was in the garden that morning training some early June roses; my thoughts were "not the brightest, scarcely in harmony with nature. which was decked in one of her brightest mantles. It was quite un-necessary-for Mrs, Briggs to lemind me of my age. I was thinking se riously of it. Twenty-six. Not very old,-to be. sore, and yet not very young to an unmarried woman. musLbe content with fewer laurels, less conquests. I must step oct of the field, as it were, aod leave the romance and day dicams to younger and fairer girlf. " It mattered little to me, whether the new curate was young and un married, or a portly old fellow with a wife and grown daughters. At heart I disliked this interfering old woman who had broken in on my reverie. I thanked her kindly for her advice telling hei that at present I' had no intention of setting my cay for any one, not eyen the curate, so saying I went back to my work and the roses "There, Mattie, don't get riled Of course it's nobody's business if you're going to leave yourself arr old maid; but take my advice and don't spend your time frettinj and worry ing over Bob Preston, for he ain't worth it nohow." She shook her head wisely, and was off before I had time to recover from the cruel thrust that had opened the old Mound, Robert Preston and the past. . I had tried to guard my heart, to trample under foot the old love. could have laughed at my girlish folly as if it were a dream until a thought less world had brought back the past, like the dead risen to life again, or a smouldering fire that needed bat a gentle breeze to make" it a burning flame. One by one the 10 3es dropped from mv hands. One by one the blinding tears fell. I was only weaK woman after allj as, covering my face with my hands, I sobbed. "R .bert, ob, Robert!

She was, looking unusually handsome in a drees of soft ndian mull. My lover bad justrpaid herji well merited compliment, for which he was about to make a gra cious reply, when Aunt Martbo came to us. Robert, she said placing her haLd fondly on hi3 shoulder as she spoke, will you gather some grapes for me? I find that some of the bunches hang too high. The girls will go with you and hold the basket. lie arose to comply with her re quest. Kathleen was at his side in a raent, while I refused to join them, eigumg a severe headache. They do not want me, I reasoned ith myself. I watched them as they walked away together, &e carrying the lit tle wicket basket and ohe tossing her bright curls with that coquettish air that came so natural to her. I cannot tell you what tempted me to follow them. It must have teen some even genius. Slowly I follow ed down the pathway, tak.ngr every precaution, not to be observed. Seat ed upon a little rustic bench, I could see every movement of my lover and Kathleen. How lovely she looked standing in the orchard, the sunlight" " falling athwart the loyely upturned face, on which smile rested! Never was seen a tairer vision. , Her sleeve of soft texture falling back showed the. shapely outstretched arm. ' Sometimes a peal of merry Jangh ter W'ud fall upon my ear. -They did not miss me not even Robert, he w3 content with Kathleen. : . The basket was full to overflowing, and still they lingered; One bunch of luscious grapes, the last gathered; was in Robert's hand. He stooped to place it with the others, when their eyes met, their hands touched. . Was I dreaming? Alas! no. I saw him stoop and kiss her fondly. -I waited no longer.

Every one was there, even that hate- ul Mrs. Briggs. I caught a glimpse of the great poke bonnet as I walked quickly to my seat. They were singing as we entered, yet I scarcely heard them, feeling rather-embarrassed, at coming late to be gazed at by the entire congrega won. I sank, wearily among the soft cush ions, gladly taking refuge behind a arge palm leaf fan kindly proffered by a partly old gen tleman beside me Now a hush, a slight flutter among the congregation, a- rustle of gar ments, with now and then a subJued whisper as the- pulpit was rolled to he cBanccl and the new curate as cended, He's just lovely, whispered Jarcia pulling softly at my sleeve.
